The Ologe Lagoon apart from being used for fishing and hunting played a prominent role at the invasion of the Egba (a tribe from now Ogun State, Nigeria) and the colonial slave traders. It served as a trade route through which the slaves captured by the colonial overlords were transported from Badagry through the creeks and Ologe Lagoon to Oto-Awori land and finally to Lagos seaport before they were eventually shipped to foreign countries.

It was this same Ologe Lagoon that one of the first settlers at Oluwo Nla the first Obanikoro used as trade route from the present IDOLUWO ILE

To the North of Idoluwo Land we have Oto-Awori across the Ologe Lagoon a unique geographical area. With both sharing similar topography and climate. It is built on

the sedimentary rock of the late Eocene geological rock formation. The sedimentary rock has produced loamy sandy soil compacted in some area and loose in many other areas of Oto-Awori land.

The areas close to the lagoon are made of muddy clay depositional soil. Within this area is the ever-wet loose sandy soil covered by both brackish and fresh water mangrove forest. In other areas, the soil is covered by grass of reed type good for mat making the major occupation of the Idoluwo Ile people, especially the women.
