The Popular Idumota Junction During The Colonial Lagos Era( Photo)

The Y Junction @ Idumota, Before The Soldiers Cemnotaph Was Relocated. The Road To The Right Is Ereko Street While Road To The Left Was Formally Victoria Street Later Renamed Nnamdi Azikiwe Street.

There’s An Ally Way Where The One Storey Building With 3 Windows & Mini 7Up Advert Known As Ishaga Lane. The 2nd Ally Way Is Luke Street Where My Mum’s Shop Was Before She Moved To Central Mosque Area (Moşalaşi Jumaat).

The 3rd Ally Way Is Ębipejø Lane Ębi-Pe-Jø (Family Gathering) Corrupted To Be Ebipejo😛 (Hungry Snake). 4th Ally Way Is Edidi Lane & Lastly Lawrence Lane. These Ally Ways Are Not Motorable But Leads From Ereko Street To Nnamdi Azikiwe Street (Labisi Adeoti on Facebook).

This picture brought back memories. Idumota where we had the Cenotaph and the Watchtower. This was our route going to Church, St Paul’s Church Breadfruit, on Broad Street from our house at Railway Compound at Ebute Metta every Sunday in the 60s. The Watchtower junction leads to my mother’s family house at Obun Eko. (Dolapo Bright on Facebook).
