BRIEF HISTORY OF IKIRE
COPIED
Ikire, an ancient town, was founded by a prince from Ile-Ife
who was a renowned Elephant hunter. His name was Akinrere. Prince Akinrere sought the permission of his father, a Grandson of Oduduwa to undertake the adventure of founding a town and establishing a Kingdom over which he would reign as a King. As it was the tradition at the
time, Ifa Oracle was consulted before permission sought was granted.
Prince Akinrere later settled a few kilometers off old Ife/
Ibadan road. At the time, the place was called “ODI-AYAN-N-
NAGI” (Ayan, nnagi trench). This was because “Ayan-n-nagi Omo Oba nla” was the pet name given to prince Akinrere by the
admirers of His Ruggedness and Military prowess. Odi-Ayan-n-nagi is now called Oko Adesile.
On the day Akinrere fell a mysterious elephant, his wife
gave birth to a baby boy. The boy was named Olaberinjo. On
growing up, Olaberinjo took
after his father as a wonderful archer. He had the reputation of
killing elephants at a very tender age. He distinguished himself as a great hunter within a short time. He got married when he was of age.
Akinrere died on-the day Olaberinjo's wife gave birth to a baby boy who was later named KUJEMILAYO (Death deprived me
of joy) the gift of a baby boy was a thing of joy but the death of
one's father was a great sorrow. Kujemilayo also grew up to become a great elephant hunter.
Over the years, things had become very difficult for the inhabitants of Odi-Ayan-Nnagi owing to acute shortage of
water, Olaberinjo already well advanced in age, instructed his
son, Kuje, to intensify his search for water and this led him to
the bank of River osun where he settled with his children and people. The new settlement was known as IKIRE-OMI (Ikire by water side). The place is now called MOOSA and it lies within the vicinity of the present Ikire.
Kuje's children were Disamu, Oladekan, Olambeloye, and
Onsokan. These four Children consequently became the four
ruling families in Ikire. the current Oba Olatunde Falabi
Olambeloye III is from
Olambeloye family.
