**Ikeja:the Lagos state capital.it is these indigenes who celebrate the Eyo festival majorly before it goes to the Lagos island.
**Lagos island: is known for Eyo festival which spread round the universe.It is a point to bring to your cognizance that eyo festival is only meant for Lagos island. But most people think it is the only general accepted festival in Lagos state because of it high remarks as the most prestigious festival in lagos state.so what about the other divisions that make up Lagos state? Other division of Lagos state include;
**Badagry:they also celebrate badagry festival.it's an annual event held in the town where all indigenes of the town celebrate in oneness.

We would see that every division is known for a substantial social accreditation. But,what is Ikorodu universally known for? It is true we have Eleku, oro festival and others in various area in Ikorodu but all that is limited to few places. It is a norms in that particular area and they go about it individually.
