Alakara bus stop
If you understand yoruba well enough, then you will understand that this bus-stop was named after someone, who most likely is a woman that sells “bean-cakes” locally called “akara”.
Ogolonto- Ikorodu area
Like O-ni-gbon-gbo, I know little of O-go-lon-to, I can only say that it is located along the famous Ikorodu road. Ogolonto just has a peculiar way it sounds in the ears and as each syllable drops, smile from ear to ear.
These are but a few of the very crazy bus-stop names in Lagos. We want to hear from you, what is the name of your bus stop or the nearest one to where you live or place of work.
Let us know if they are funny and crazy and if you will be proud to tell some outside you live there.
Meanwhile, Christmas is almost here again, so you need to beware of certain spots within Lagos.

There’s ‘Abule Tailor’ (Tailor’s village, literally, lol)and ‘Salolo’ on the Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway and ‘Agbo malu’ (which means cow arena) on the road that leads to Ajegunle, off Marine Beach in Apapa.
Well, we have Onigbagbo (believer). Still would love to know how it came about tho.
