Summary
| Description |
English: Ogun River is the waterfront originating in the isolated area of Saki, adjoining the Oyo National Park and gliding through Ogun State to empty into the Lagos Lagoon. Weaponry needed for the defense of Abeokuta was transported from 1830 to 1890 through this river that was also used for trade and commerce. Toll barriers were erected at Iseri and Aro, along the river for collection of revenue in the days of the Egba United Board of Management (1865-98) and successive Egba United Government (1898-1914). The Ogun River provided the native government with negotiation power in its relation with colonial Lagos, being an important trade route connecting coasts of Lagos, Badagry, and Abeokuta. Traditionally, the river was supposed to have been formed when Efunkunmi, wife of the first monarch at the community of its origin broke a pot in protest against her husband whose search party attempted to seize. The pool of water, now having a capacity of 690 million cubic meters served as the route through which the Christian faith was introduced to Abeokuta and the rest of Nigeria.

Français : La rivière Ogun est le front de mer prenant sa source dans la zone isolée de Saki, jouxtant le parc national d'Oyo et traversant l'État d'Ogun pour se jeter dans la lagune de Lagos. Les armes nécessaires à la défense d'Abeokuta ont été transportées de 1830 à 1890 par cette rivière qui était également utilisée pour le commerce. Des barrières de péage ont été érigées à Iseri et Aro, le long du fleuve pour la collecte des revenus, à l'époque du Conseil d'Administration Unifié d'Egba (1865-98) et du Gouvernement Unifié d'Egba successif (1898-1914). La rivière Ogun a fourni au gouvernement indigène un pouvoir de négociation dans ses relations avec le Lagos colonial, étant une route commerciale importante reliant les côtes de Lagos, Badagry et Abeokuta. Traditionnellement, la rivière était censée avoir été formée lorsqu'Efunkunmi, épouse du premier monarque de la communauté d'origine, a cassé un pot en signe de protestation contre son mari dont l'équipe de recherche avait tenté de s'en emparer. Le bassin d'eau, d'une capacité actuelle de 690 millions de mètres cubes, a servi de voie par laquelle la foi chrétienne a été introduite à Abeokuta et dans le reste du Nigeria. |
