Some of the traditional women from this town are the same categories of Nigerian made f00ls that would champion the "Gender Equality Bill" in the Nigerian Senate.


Until ORO is abolished in this country, gender equality will never work.

Until our women rise to fight all evil culture, the elite women who are themselves wives to these cultists in Lagos and beyond would continue to deceive the average Nigerian woman.

For gender equality and equity to work, all traditional leaders who support ORO and women oppression in ZOO-gerian must be severely beaten to pulp, including the Lawmakers who sponsor women oppression.


Just to add this, I will walk in Ikorodu if I have an appointment at any restrictive period stated and NOTHING will happen.

Let me see the f00l that will stop me from walking on a Federal Road.

I hereby advise the Nigerian army to open fire on any miscreant caught at the scene just in the same manner they acted in Zaira.

Long live ZOO-Gerian!


To those f00lish women on this thread and beyond who support this oppression on our wives and mothers, and still clamour for gender equality bill, may you marry an aggressive husband that will oppress you ONLY in the same manner ORO cultists oppress Ikorodu women.


You are an A-list clown.

Dear Residents of our great and ever forward looking Ikorodu Town. I want you all to ignore the rumor making the rounds that Non-Indigenous should not come out from Tuesday.
The true information is that Non-Indigenous should stay indoors from 11: 00 PM to 5:00 AM during the celebration of Eluku Festival which will run from Tuesday, August 23 - August 30, 2016... May i let you know that lkorodu value your co-existence and the well being of all and sundry and that the custodian and all well meaning Sons and Daughters of Ikorodu Land will do all humanly possible to protect the lives and properties of all irrespective of creed or Clime. For the purpose of emphasis, Eluku Festival is a key deities of lkorodu which only the indigenous participate in.
As it were in those days of yore, the ancestors of the land used such celebration to cleanse and offer special prayers for the land. In view of the goings on in and around the community, state and the nation, this is exigent. Please go about your legitimate responsibilities without any fear and remember to close before or at 11:00 PM while the celebration lasts. "Ikorodu a di headquarters. Aiye Oriwu a so ju mi..." This was the prayer of the founding fathers of Ikorodu Land. "Meaning lkorodu would be so prosperous and become a port of call to many people". This dream, the present sons and daughters of lkorodu key into and will do everything to keep this apace. Ikorodu a gbe dede eni ooo... Ase!
