Ojota is a community in Lagos State's Kosofe local government area, located along the Lagos-Ibadan expressway, with a population of about 600,000 people. 

In the late 18th century, this town was a military settlement where troops practised their shooting. The region became known as "Oju Ota" in Yoruba, which means "bullet spots" due to the numerous gun firing sites. It later evolved into Ojota, as it is today known. 

Ojota leads to Ogudu and is close to places like Ketu, Maryland, and Magodo.
