ABEOKUTA : A name ; an irony.

By 2030, it will be two hundred years since Abeokuta was founded and so named by the Egbas who took refuge under the Olumo rock. Thus, the name Abeokuta literally meaning "Under the Rock" was adopted after they were asked where they lived. Today however, the story has somehow changed, indigenes, citizens and residents do not live "under" the rock, but rather on it.

I have often found it hilarious, that names of certain areas or junctions in Abeokuta, when translated literally would make you laugh, wonder or even sometimes shocked. Please note that this piece is just a fiction of my writer's imagination and should not be in anyway misconstrued as deregatory but a source of comic relief (I am from Abeokuta myself ).

Let's begin our journey from Iyana Mortuary, haba! That's Mortuary junction, guess you may not want to go where it leads. Others are:

Itoku - Cemetery / court of the dead
Ago-oko - Camp of stones (stone throwers)
Ago-ika - Camp of the wicked
Ago-odo - Camp of the dullard
Ago-iba - Camp of Malaria
Saje - come and become a witch
Adigbe - place of constipation
Kugba - offered to death
Mawuko - Don't cough
Adatan - Cutlass have finished
Kolobo, kotopo - small, petite, roundish
Oke-efon - Hill of the buffalo
Onikoko - cocoyam seller
Alabata- We lick sandals
Alamala - Amala seller
Ita ika - Frontage of the wicked
Kuto - Death urinates
Totoro - so narrow
Enu gada - Foot of the bridge
Apakila - The hill of Kila
Amolaso - Our clothes are clean
Oke ilewo - The hill of prosperity

Wow! Terrific names, don't you agree?
Probably that's why the city has produced and is still producing leading leaders in the Nation. The likes of ex-President Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, Chief Ernest Sonekan, June 12 hero, Chief MKO Abiola, Rev and Chief mrs Ransome Kuti, Fela and his siblings, Chief Ebenezer Obey, Segun Odegbami et al and my wonderful self.

Abeokuta, on the rock we stand.
