Naforija

Naforija

Naforija is a small community in the Epe local government area of Lagos State, Nigeria. Just as in Epe local government, the main source of livelihood here is fishing. Men and women alike go fishing and trade their spoils. People travelled from the main city of Lagos to buy very fresh and considerably cheap fish.

In the early twentieth century, the Ogunyeade Adebajo family settled down in this region from the Isale Eko area in Lagos State. Moses Adelekan Ogunyeade Adebajo and his wives continued their generations from there. Unlike the predominantly Muslim community in Epe local government, he was a christian descending from Isale Eko and brought up his family in the christian faith.

His grandson, Israel Adebayo Adebajo become the founder of the popular Stationery Stores Football club ("Adebajo Babes") based in Lagos, Nigeria.
