Nice view, Mostly the brown roof.

I love to see brown roof everywhere, it shows our heritage and culture. We AFONJA'S are proud to be called. OBO IDANRE, meaning IDANRE MONKEY.


Pay a visit to this ancient town at your own peril. Destinies destroyer are the guards of this village they tag City.

Nice one @OP. But Idanre isn't a town in Akure. It's one of the 18 local governments in ondo state.

Idanre Hills is suppose to huge revenue to Ondo State government on Tourism but was neglected by the government.

Idanre Hills is one of the most underrated tourist attractions in Nigeria. It is a combination of history. sightseeing, Hiking and culture.
Idanre is a beautiful and gigantic mountain located in Akure, Ondo State. The views will leave you asking for more. The history, the story, the culture are real even though it is an abandoned city. The relics and ruins of this ancient city is still standing as proof of its ancient civilization for all to see.
It is located in a hilly and quiet town. This city is made up of so many mountains surrounding the city.
It should be nicknamed the city of mountains.

Idanre is an ancient community that once resided in the hills of Idanre before they relocated to the lower part of the hill. The city is said to be over 800 years old. The city is located in the town of Akure. This city is known for its cultivation of cocoa an important raw material for beverages.
These are some other attractions at the city.

1. The House of Lorin , lots of things are forbidden here, wearing of clothes is forbidden here, carrying items on the head is forbidden
2. The Judges quarters
3. The landscape
4. The ancient Palace

Oga Akure is different from idanre
They don’t even share same local government council , stop saying what you do not know anything about

Op point of correction.Idanre is entirely different from Akure,is an independent town on his its own for thousand years.my grandfather was buried up there on that hill,u got almost d rest of information correctly.
We don't have a good tourism spirit in this part of d world hence Idanre would have be a good source of revenue for Govt.kudos for job well done in showcasing Idanre hills to d world��
