'''Ikeja''' is the [[List of capitals of states of Nigeria|capital]] of [[Lagos State]] in southwestern [[Nigeria]]. Its population, as of the 2006 census, is <!--Only official figures should be used, not third party estimates-->313,196. Prior to the emergence of military rule in the early 1980s, Ikeja was a well planned, clean and quiet residential and commercial town with shopping malls, pharmacies and government reservation areas. The [[Murtala Muhammed International Airport]] is located in Ikeja. Ikeja is also home to [[Femi Kuti]]'s Africa Shrine and [[Lagbaja]]'s Motherland, both venues for live music. Its [[Ikeja City Mall]] is the largest mall on the Lagos State mainland. Ikeja also has its own radio station, broadcasting both in English ([[Eko FM]]) and in Yoruba ([[Radio Lagos]]).
 
==History==
Ikeja, which was formally called "Akeja" was named after a deity of the Awori people of Ota.<ref>{{Cite news|last=Peters|first=Ifeoma|date=8 June 2017|title=The origin of the word "Ikeja"|work=DNL legal & style blog|url=https://dnllegalandstyle.com/2017/lagos-based-lawyer-tanimola-anjorin-unravels-origin-word-ikeja/}}</ref> It was originally settled by the Awori people, and the area was raided for slaves until the mid-19th century. Early in the 20th century it became an agricultural hinterland for Lagos. The opening of the Lagos-Ibadan railway in 1901 and the growth of Lagos as a port transformed Ikeja into a residential and industrial suburb of that city. In the mid-1960s an industrial estate was established, and in 1976 Ikeja became the capital of Lagos state.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.britannica.com/place/Ikeja|title=Ikeja|last=The Editors of Encyclopædia Britannica|date=January 14, 2015|website=Encyclopædia Britannica|access-date=January 10, 2018}}</ref>

Ikeja, which was formally called "Akeja" was named after a deity of the Awori people of Ota.[2] It was originally settled by the Awori people, and the area was raided for slaves until the mid-19th century. Early in the 20th century it became an agricultural hinterland for Lagos. The opening of the Lagos-Ibadan railway in 1901 and the growth of Lagos as a port transformed Ikeja into a residential and industrial suburb of that city. In the mid-1960s an industrial estate was established, and in 1976 Ikeja became the capital of Lagos state.[3]

Computer Village

Ikeja is home to a large computer market, popularly known as Otigba. Begun in 1997 as a small market of only 10 shops, the current market now has well over 3000. While most vendors provide the expected computer sales and repair services, it is also possible to find sales and repair services for various types of office equipment and electronic devices.[26]

By 2019, the little shops at Computer Village had grown to multiple-storey shopping malls. Many of the single-floor buildings have been developed into larger buildings, housing several shops that distribute and repair mobile phones, laptops, printers and other electronic devices. Nearly all the major Nigerian banks have branches around the market.

As the market is unplanned, it has experienced difficulties in its growth, with some local residents expressing frustration at the market's expansion. Traffic around the area has become very congested, and it can be almost impossible to find a place to park. Furthermore, the electrical infrastructure, which was already unreliable, has become overloaded by the new market, which requires significant amounts of electricity to demonstrate working computer products to potential customers.[27]
