Ejigbo, a popular Yoruba town bordering Iwo, Ogbomoso and Ede doubles as a francophone community within Nigeria. Due to extensive travelling and trade with other African countries, a larger percentage of Nigerians living in Ivory Coast, Benin Republic, etc. are Ejigbo indigenes. There is also direct commercial bus transportation to and fro between Ejigbo and a lot of francophone African countries. Asides from Yoruba and English spoken in the south-west, majority of Ejigbo citizens in Nigeria speak french as a mother tongue.   About the author: Amina Salau is a writer and editor running The Illuminated Pen.

  • Waooo never know about this……………………………….wonderful


  • I drove through the town about two weeks ago in company of my son. I actually lost my way from Ogbomoso to Iwo. However, I saw the town as a sleeping Nigeria town whose life has been taken to franchophone towns rather than living in Osun State. Thanks for your piece Amina.
