Welcome to Lusada

Brief History on Lusada

Narrated by Chief Taofeek the Aro (chief appointer) of Igadoh Orile Lusada.

Lusada originated from Igadoh in the land of Igbesa. They were the heads of the kingmakers from Ipetu in Igbesa; all the quarters in Igbesa had farmlands with the general name Igadoh.

The land of Lusada was then a farmland stretching from Igbesa down to western parts of the current Lusada community.

They farmed the lands till Oba Samuel Olushola agreed for the development of the area now known has Lusada and requested for the Baale of the newly formed location.

The name Lusada originated from the contractors that constructed the Atan-Agbara road long before the declaration of the newly formed settlement.

 The first Baale was later crowned the first king (Oba). His name was Chief Abdulwahab Itu in the year 2002. 

The central settlement of Lusada is known as Igboko Orile where the king resides till his demise.

There are different Igboko clans which are Igboko Opebiyi, Igboko Nla, and Igboko Orile with each having her own Baale.

Due to the major occupation of the indigenes and the influence from a very good and accessible road, n lusada grew to be a centre for trading activities giving the locals the platform to showcase their farm products and of course help other traders from far and wide to advertise their products and bringing different shoppers all over the neighboring towns to lusada.

Traders come from neighboring places like Atan, Agbara, Badagry, Cotonou, Idiroko, Igbesa, Lagos, Mile2, Okoko, as far as Ibadan and even northerners make use of the opportunity to sell their goods and services.

 Due to current development construction of a six-lane road of 1 kilometers and a 600 meter bridge on the Atan-Agbara federal road, there is without doubt that the market would be once again open to trading which had subsided due to damaged trade routes leading to higher cost of transportation which constituted to the constant source of loss to the traders and motorist plying the axis. Lusada is every much open to development and as such still require the building of a central clinic or hospital, good water system, town hall etc.
