Your take away from your history is "Igbo people come and show us Igbo names"?

@ OP duro4Chang , The Badagry were not founded by Gun from Popo.
Popo and Gun are two separate entities but merged together in this write up.

Popo was founded by Oduduwa descendants and some Gun are also Yorubas as a result of naturalisation, marriage, assimilation into Yoruba culture and some are not.

Influence of Oloyo, was through how Gun, came through Ajase, so also Popo descendants etc to Badagry, where Awori also had settlement.

Apa is the oldest settlement in Badagry settlement and owns the largest land. Infact, she owns where the Black Gold is found in Badagry environment.
