Say hello to 'Ikeja', the capital of Lagos state. Ikeja is a commercial hub and the seat of government in Lagos State, and it is located on the mainland.

The Awori were the first people to settle in Ikeja. They are said to have migrated from Ota before the 19th century in search of suitable farmland, eventually settling in Ikeja.

The city was previously known as 'Akeja,' and was named after the deity that the Awori people worshipped. Over time, the name became distorted, eventually becoming Ikeja. However, some claim that the name Ikeja is an acronym for 'Ikorodu and Epe Joint Administration.'

Ikeja is 17 km North-West of Lagos State, and has districts such as Anifowose, Ogba, Onigbongbo, Oregun, Ojodu, Opebi, Alausa etc.
