About Lagos Island (Eko), Lagos

Lagos Island, popularly known as Eko, Lagos Island, popularly known as Eko among locals, is the historic and cultural nucleus of Lagos State. As the original settlement that grew into Nigeria’s largest metropolis, it remains a vibrant blend of tradition, commerce, and colonial heritage. Unlike the modern skyscrapers of Victoria Island or the planned suburbs of Lekki, Lagos Island thrives with chaotic markets, centuries-old landmarks, and an unfiltered urban energy that defines "real Lagos."

History of Lagos Island

Lagos Island’s history dates back to the 15th century, when it was a Yoruba fishing village ruled by the Oba of Lagos. The name "Eko" is believed to have originated from the Benin Kingdom’s influence.

Portuguese & British Influence: European traders arrived in the 16th century, turning Lagos into a major port in the transatlantic slave trade.

Colonial Takeover: In 1861, Lagos was annexed by the British, becoming Nigeria’s first colonial capital.

Post-Independence: After Nigeria gained independence in 1960, Lagos remained the capital until it was moved to Abuja in 1991.
