THE PEOPLE OF REMO LAND

THE PEOPLE OF REMO LAND - IJEBU

The kingdom of Remo is one defined by strength,zeal and powers to Partially protect the Ijebu Kingdom.

From the small Ojodu town in Lagos you will have to drive down to the capital of Remo, Shagamu through Mowe,Ibafo and smaller towns for just 30 minutes. I call this ancient town the Gateway to Ijebu Land

The Akarigbo is seen as the Paramount ruler of all the towns surrounding Remo Kingdom.

A popular adage states that "If The Akarigbo is as small as a fist, he is still the Paramount ruler of Remo Land"

There are thirty three (33) towns that makes up the Remo kingdom in Ogun state. The capital of the kingdom is Ishaga-olomu now fashionably called Shagam or Sagamu.

Shagam is made up of 13 towns, out of the 33 that makes this ancient kingdom, the thirteen towns are : Offin ( where the Akarigbo's palace is situated), Makun, Sonyindo, Epe, Ibido, Igbepa,Ado, Oko, Ipoji,Batoro, Ijoku, Latawa and Ijagba.The other twenty (20) are: Ipara, Ikenne, Ogere, Okun-owa, Ilisan, Ibese, Ode Remo, Ilara, Isara, Irolu, Akaka, Ikorodu, Odogbolu,Ayepe,Emuren ,Imota, Ijede, Gbogbo, Ikosi, Ijesa Ijebu.

The history of 419 in Nigeria

Well, even in foreign countries, fingers are easily pointed at Nigerians because the outside world believe we are "419ers" Did you know that the first exponent of 419 in Nigeria was not a Nigerian? "On 18 December 1920, a certain Mr. Crentsil, a former employee of the Marine Department of the colonial government in Lagos, wrote an extraordinary letter to a contact in the British colony of the Gold Coast, today's Ghana.... It is ironic that the first known Four One Nine fraudster known to history was not a Nigerian at all, but rather a Ghanaian. Crentsil seems to have written a number of similar letters, each time offering to provide magical services on payment of a fee. In December 1921, he was charged by the police with three counts under various sections of the criminal code including section 419...

I CAN NOT BREATHE - AYOMIKUN MISHAEL AFOLAYAN

BREATHE "I can't breathe". Those were the words he uttered Before his life was snuffed out. "I can't breathe". Those were the words that he uttered Before his life was ended, under the knee of a police officer. He groaned in pain, Pinned to the ground, Unable to move, Unable to breathe, Losing the power, The will to live. And as he gave up, As his life ebbed into nothingness, He sparked a change, a movement. He sparked the cry of a people, Stifled by years, decades of oppression and racisim By years, decades of unfiltered bigotry and prejudice. "We can't breathe!", they chant. "We can't breathe!". And I wonder, If the knee will still be on the neck, Restricting the freedom of a people. And I wonder, If the knee will still be on the neck, Pressing the life out of a people. I wonder, If the knee will ever be removed, If an entire race will be able to live, to breathe. Ayomikun Mishael Afolayan
