This is one of the many pictures from the E.H. Duckworth collection. Duckworth was the founding editor of Nigeria Magazine from the 1930s to the 1970s.
In the history of Lagos, Igbosere derives its name from two Yoruba words: ‘Igbo’ and ‘Osere’, meaning the forest of Osere trees. It was named after the predominant Osere trees found in the forest of that area. Osere trees are popular for their wood, used in carpentry (Ìkàn) and canoe carving (Ọkọ̀) for transport and fishing on the Lagos lagoon (Ọ̀sà). The economic activities in the area attracted traders from far and near, including Ijebu, Ilaje, Oyo, Ijesha, Egun, Itsekiri, and many others, including Benin, who came to trade and acquire items on Aromire’s farm (Oko Aromire) at Iduro Imota (station of the Imota people), which became Idumota. The Osere trees in Igbo Osere (Osere Forest) were also sold as planks and wood for carpentry at Onikan (the Carpenters), from where finished products were moved to the Iddo Island market.

Hey just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The words in your

I’m not sure if this is a format issue or something to do
with browser compatibility but I figured I’d post to let you know.
The layout look great though! Hope you get the problem resolved
soon. Cheers

Hey would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re using?
I’m going to start my own blog in the near future but
I’m having a hard time choosing between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely unique.
P.S Apologies for being off-topic but I
had to ask!
It’s impressive that you are getting ideas from this piece of writing as well
as from our discussion made at this time.
