Lagbaja is not a typical Yoruba name nor a masquerade's name. It's a generic word used to describe anyone in a conversation with no specific subject. Lagbaja is just like using every Tom, Dick and Harry in your conversation, it refers to no one even though there are people who bear this names. It is often used alongside Tamedu. It is used as an example. Example - Lagbaja mo orin ko Tamedu mo ijo jo, ewo ni wo le se. Interpretation - This one can sing, that one can dance, which one can you do?
It is a typical Yoruba name that was used in an ancient proverb. That name must have existed to use it in that proverb. It’s probably fully Olagbaja. Overtime turned to Lagbaja. It’s a real name.

Apart from Obasanjo (that man is a true Nigerian), every other Nigerian president appointed soldiers either from their tribe or a tribe they can trust as his army chief.

It's quite unfortunate that 100 years later, Nigeria is still struggling to unite as one country. Congratulations to the new army chief though!


The politics of bitterness you guys are playing is not yet rampart like this during the tenure of Obasanjo.

Tinubu is the only south west politician that has done the most for Igbo in Lagos, in fact he was the one that enabled Igbo to have the little political influence they once had or still have in Lagos state, but ironically he is also the one Igbo hate the most because Igbo are just jealous of his political influences, they detest a Yoruba man like that same way they detested Awolowo and MKO Abiola etc, because he is the strongest Yoruba politician and in the way of them taking over Lagos just like Awolowo of those days when Azikiwe was trying so hard to gained foothold in the west.


Igbo are blatantly wishing Tinubu dead and bitterly praying for his downfall and that of his family when he hasn't ever governed over them in the East, even Obasanjo that participated in the Civil war and killed Biafran forces is not soliciting that much hatred from them.

If Igbo cursed and campaigned vigorously against Obasanjo like they did against Tinubu i doubt Obasanjo would still be so receptive to them like he was when he became president.

Tom, Dick, Harry are all names. Hope you know? They’re names first before generic!

Lagbaja is a name sis! It’s a name that people do use for Generic..

Cuz if Lagbaja is not a name, how would they be able to use it for Generic in the first place?

Generic names are names that are usable in generic terms! Not by certification most times, but by easy, flexible pronunciation..

Not someone you can't really identify, but a person you use in a talk like ' God knows who'. It is also used if you don't want to disclose the person's identity, though you know for security reasons. It doesn't have anything to do with masquerade. Similarly you use tàmẹ̀du or lakaṣegbe.

Hello I mentioned that already in my comment and response to you and the person that thought it was a masquerade's name. Lagbaja is typically used in the context of referring to non specific person's. If Lagbaja was a typical Yoruba name what of Tamedu which is often used alongside Lagbaja, is that a typical Yoruba name?

Yes they are non specifics as well, they describe no one in particular. It is often extended to Lamorin and Lakasegbe when the speaker wants to continue to describe more examples of non specifics.

It probably is. May someone not use your name in such a dismissive way in a proverb that is reckoned with. These are old names like Omoye, Longe and Borokinni… also used in proverbs.

There is no lie in what he said if you like agree or disagree. The USA you are talking about involve everybody in their government, from the trans community down to the Asian Americans. If you truly want to unite the people, make appointments even and from merit not base on region or same tribe with the President. If you like, mention me

You are very silly. The current chief of Army in the US is Irish and Catholic like Biden. Only a foolish president will appoint someone from the tribe of online lunatics to be his army chief. This is all over the world. No one is as stupid as you all think you are. Keep letting frustrated little tribes drag you to their level, let ND people take your place. Online mugus. Where that fool Chimamanda? Make she go write another letter na.
