FAKANDE STREET

Fakande Street is located at the north-western part of Kirikiri town. It is a street that still thrives from its past prevalent description. Fakande as the name implies is a family name and the family still exists.

Fakande Street used to be known for its vivaciousness until other parts of Kirikiri town opened up. According to history, a man named Molade was the first man to build his house on Fakande Street. This same man owns several plots of land from Otun Street to Fakande Street.

This catholic acquisition of terra firma by Molade made him treat the people around him poorly. This however, resulted into a court case between Imore people and Molade. He lost his possessions to Imore. Apparently, Fakande Street belongs to the Imore people. “I still have an Imore receipt for the house I bought” says an elderly man.

Fakande Street has been known since the time when Jakande was governor, that time Badagry ruled Kirikiri town and Shagari was president. Fakande and Jakande sound similar right?

Fakande used to have sedulous people. The pure water (sachet water) factory that used to be situated there in the late 90’s was one of the pioneers of the business in Nigeria before issues unknown to anyone made it discontinue further production till today but the owner still lives in Kirikiri town.

There is a school on the street. It is a Muslim school. The buildings there are mostly bungalows and a story building that stands as the pride of Fakande Street.

Many aged men live on Fakande Street and they are friendly. The youths of Fakande Street enjoy playing football.

Fakande Street is T-shaped. The horizontal length is about 85 meters and the vertical is about 65 meters. Fakande has three outlets; they intersect Tariah Street, Shokumbi Street and Imam Busari Street. Do you know that cars are not often found on Fakande street?

There are 21 buildings on Fakande Street, 8 business outlets and a population of 215.
