Eggua, identified traditionally as Ilé Ìlú, reflects the idea of the town and the wider community.
The Yorùbá expression Ìlú refers to a town or community. The identity therefore emphasizes belonging, communal responsibility and the shared life of the people.
The quarter's history is connected to the families and community members who have participated in the social, economic and cultural life of Ayétòrò.
Ilé Ìlú symbolizes the idea that a community is more than its buildings and physical boundaries; it is made up of people, relationships, traditions, responsibilities and shared memories.
