Many of us pass Ọba Akran Avenue without knowing who Akran was — an Ogu king, a minister, a first-class traditional ruler who helped build the very western region we call ‘Yorubaland’ today.
I did a thing, a real thing with this piece!
Replying to @republicjournal
While the Yoruba are a dominant force in the southwest of Nigeria, the area is also the cultural homeland of the Ogu people, a distinct ethno-linguistic group with its own rich history, language, and traditions.

We need to ask ourselves, 'if southeastern Benin Republic... are not exclusively labelled Fonland or Oguland despite Benin's predominant Fon/Ogu populations, how then can southwest Nigeria be Yorubaland?'
