Ikirun
Ikirun is a town in Osun State, Nigeria. It is the headquarters of the Ifelodun Local Government Area. It is an historical city that derived its name from the first ruler of the town called Akinorun. Basetan was the first settler and founder of present-day Ikirun. He was a hunter and in one of his hunting expeditions, he came across another settlement nearby in Igbo Irele headed by Akinorun. Basetan convinced Akinorun to join him in present-day Ikirun. However, because Basetan was a hunter who used to go on long hunting sprees, he left the day-to-day administration of the settlement in the care of his new friend, Akinorun with the understanding that he would, whenever he was around stand in as the deputy. With this arrangement the rulership was progressively ceded to Akinorun and his descendants with Basetan as the Eesa (deputy), up to the present time, comes from the Basetan lineage. In recognition of this arrangement, whenever a new Akinrun is installed he mandatorily spends ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
People From Ekiti State
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of per ...

A few decades later, the Second Industrial Revolution led to ever more massive urbanization and much higher levels of productivity, profit, and prosperity, a pattern that continued into the 20th century. The Islamic gunpowder empires fell into decline and European imperialism brought much of South Asia, Southeast Asia, and almost all of Africa under colonial rule.

Modakeke
Modakeke is a town in Osun State, South West Nigeria, with a population of close to 500,000 people. The Modakekes are also known as the "Akoraye" and have a history of valor at war and are prosperous farmers. History The founding of Modakeke is intimately and closely linked to and intertwined with the consequences of the internecine wars that ravaged Yorubaland in the 19th century. The wars saw the collapse of the old Oyo Empire, and establishment of new settlements across Yorubaland in this period and time. Modakeke was thus established on a virgin land in 1845. The name, Modakeke, was not just a conjecture; it was derived from the chirpings of a nest of storks around the site of the new settlement. The appellation, Akoraye, is a contraction of “A ko ri aaye” (Storks find ample space). The name of the area, lraye, is a derivative of this appellation. According to J.F. Ade Ajayi and Robert Smith in Yoruba Warfare in the 19th Century: Oba Abewela created a separate township a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
