SOME UNDENIABLE HISTORICAL FACTS ABOUT IJEBU AND EGBA!

• AWUJALE SHARED BOUNDARY WITH ALAAFIN AT MOLETE SIDE AND RULED OVER ALL THE SETTLEMENTS WITHIN

• THE TOWNS CALLED EGBAS WERE KNOWN AS ORILES FALLING ON THE TERRITORIES OF BOTH OYO AND IJEBU

• THE ORILES WERE ABOUT 143 VILLAGES KNOWN TO BE INDEPENDENTLY RULED BY THEIR RESPECTIVE MINOR MILITARY CHIEF

• MOST OF THE DWELLERS IN THOSE VILLAGES WERE PREDOMINANTLY THE INFLUX OF IJEBUS AND EGBAS

• MAJORITY OF THE PROGENITORS OF THE VILLAGES WERE OFFSPRINGS OF AWUJALE OR JEBU DESCENTS

• THE TOWN KNOWN AS ODO-ONA IN IBADAN WAS FOUNDED BY PRINCE ONAMADE (ODO ONAMADE CORRUPTED TO ODO-ONA), PRINCE OF AWUJALE

• DURING UPHEVEAL, TOP EGBA CHIEF WAS IMPRISONED IN IJEBU AND CHAINED FOR SIX MONTHS BY AWUJALE

• AFTERMATH OF OWU WAR LED TO THE DISPERSAL OF THE ORILE VILLAGES

• WAR CHIEF MAYE OF IFE AND LABOSHIDE OF IJEBU INSTRUCTED LAMODI, THE EGBA WAR CHIEF, TO LEAD THE PEOPLE OUT OF THE TERRITORY

• LAMODI DIED ON THE WAY AND SODEKE SUCCEEDED HIM TO LEAD THE PEOPLE OF ORILE TO ABEOKUTA

• THE PEOPLE OF IJEBU FLED WITH THEM TO SEEK REFUGE UNDER OLUMO ROCK. AND MOST OF THE EGBAS IN ABEOKUTA TODAY HAD IJEBU ORIGIN

• SETTLEMENTS LIKE ORILE-IGBEIN, ORILE-IMO, ORILE-IGBORE, ORILE-IKANNA, ORILE-IFOYE, ORILE-ILOGBO AND MANY MORE WERE ALL IJEBU SETTLEMEMTS BEFORE RELOCATION

• EGBA VILLAGES KNOWN AS ORILES HAD NO HISTORY OF KING AS RULER UNTIL AFTER RESETTLED IN ABEOKUTA THAT THE FIRST KING, ALAKE CROWNED IN 1854

• MOST OF THE SETTLEMENTS STILL WORSHIP AGEMO DEITY AS A SYMBOL OF THEIR AFFLIATION WITH IJEBU

• THE STOOL OF ALAKE IS MINOR TO AWUJALE TRADITIONALLY

Ogbeni, don't try this nonsense of pitting two peoples against each other. We're all Omoluabi and happy together.

But when Alake was bending the history to
claim superiority ahead of Awujale, his father, no one caution him
