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.

If you visit Shagam don't forget to have a taste of one of her delicacies EBIRIPO

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
