(NIGERIAN): Ilorin is not a Hausa or Fulani regional.




(Brought to you with the help of Black Reality)

Long years ago in the past, there was a forest referred to as Oko-Erin, and there were many elephants on this jungle, which changed to the reason why it is called Oko-Erin Elephant Forest, the best brave and strong hunters survive this wooded area. Òjó Oníṣekúṣe Ojo the promiscuous, who came from Ijesha, became the first fisherman to reach Oko-Erin and turned into a brave and strong fisherman. In addition, Omala came from the city of Ràngún and met Òjó Oníṣekúṣe in this wooded area; He has turned into a powerful hunter as well.

Òjó Oníṣekúṣe and Ẹ̀mìńlá no longer live in Oko-Erin, it is better for them to search for a while and return to their family. Aláderin arrives in Oko-Erin after mìńlá and Òjó Oníṣekúse. Aláderin has a cabin in this forest; He was the leader of all elephant hunters at that time and became the first settler of Oko-Erin. It has shifted to from Oyo Alafin. Every time his hunting mates return from sight, they take some relaxation in Oladerin's hut, and Oladerin becomes so efficient that humans, elephants, and other animals worry him. Laderin has a huge amount of concoctions, and while entering that pot, he can become any kind of animal he dreams of. and this is why it was called Ola di erin Oladerin. There was a stone used to beautify their scythes in Oladerin's hut, and on every occasion their scythes were given blunt; They took it to Oladerin's hut to sharpen it with this very stone. At the same time that they go to Oladerin's hut to sharpen their sickle, if every person asked them where to go, they might say "mò ń lọ lọ irin mi lọ́dọ̀ọ Láderin" I want to go and sharpen the sickle at the place of Laderin they would call this stone lọ irin Sharpener Ilorin derived his calling from this stone.

The stone they used to polish the scythes is still in Bamedele House in Ilorin these days. Ojo onisekuse turned out to be mentioned that he ran away from Oko-Erin because of his promiscuity, and was fond of sleeping with his daughter and family, this act forbidden while he became stuck, and had to flee Oko-Erin. Eminla returned to Ila-Orangun, even as Ojo onisekuse fled to Ojoku near Offa where he later died.

Humans started coming to Ilorin from villages around Oyo to live with Ladirin and some hunters resolved to settle in Ilorin with Ladirin changing to the way Ilorin started to expand. Ladrin turned into the first chief Bali of Ilorin; There was no other tribe in present-day Ilorin apart from Oyo indigene and its environs.

After Laderin's death, his son Pàsín took over as the second chief baal in Pàsín's reign as Baál in Ilorin, Bashọ̀run Gáà became disruptive of the peace of Oyo, Pàsín got into the issue as he was not happy with the way Bashọ̀run Gáà became torturing humans in Oyo. This became the cause of Bassin's death. Pachuron-ja killed him in an open area. After Basin's death, Alagbon became the son of the later Balinese Basin of Ilorin. During Alugbin's reign, Ilorin ended up being a big city.

After Alugbin's loss of life, his son Àfọ̀njá became the brand new bale of Ilorin. Afonja turned out to be brave, brave and courageous. He has been transformed into a warlord who possesses supernatural powers.

Afonga became obsolete in Ilorin at some point during the reign of the Alaafin Abiodun Adigulu within Oyo State. After the death of Alaafin Abiodun Adegoolu, another king shifted to the top in Oyo, and his name became Aól Aróganganlóyè; He became an effective monarch. Earlier in Aole's becoming king, Afonja had become so powerful that he became feared with the help of anyone in Yoruba land, he made war against many Yoruba villages, waged conflict against a few villages near Ilorin, conquered and ruled over them. The struggle has been waged against villages like", "Ìdòfìàn, Òkè-yì, Ìbẹ̀rẹ̀-Igbọ́n, lẹ́rínjàre and many more villages near Ilorin. Many villages near Ilorin are not in life now due to Afonja struggle towards them. A number of those villages see Afonga as their god. The common people no longer worried about the afien, the best man or woman they worried about and feared turned into an afonga; They often say "Bí Aláfin ó bá bínú kó bínú, bí Àfọ̀njá ò bá sáà ti bínú àbùsebùse" If Alaafin is like him he can get angry as long as Afonja is not."


"No one dares to ask what Afonga is doing. Ole had heard of Afonja before he became king that he looked like a demon. After Oli Kakaǹfò was crowned, Siyabi was Ààrẹ ọ̀nà kakaǹfò General of the Yoruba. After the death of Oyapis, Afonja insisted that he would be the next leader of the Yoruba Aare ona kakanfo Meanwhile, Afonja's mother was from a royal family in Oyo, they told Afonja That becoming a Yoruba general would be ridiculous for him and the royal kingdom, but Afonja insisted that he should be the next Kakanfo. Alaafin Aole agreed to make him Kakanfo and this was the genesis of the problem in Yoruba land.

It was the custom in Yoruba land that whenever a new kakanfo was chosen, the Alaafin should send it to war to make sure how strong the new kakanfo would be, the warrior would ask the king to tell them who his enemy was, and who he or Alaafin town would declare that his enemy would be reduced to ashes by my armies. Afonja and his armies were expecting the saints to send them to war, but Ole did not. There was a reason why the new Ole Afunga Kakanfo had not been sent to war. He knew that whatever war he sent to Afonja, he would win, and he did not want Afonja's supremacy to continue to spread in the Yoruba kingdom, he believed that Afonja was evil. Afonja suspects that Ole does not love him, and Ole sees Afonga as his enemy and the main threat to his throne. He thought to himself that Afonja might wish to overthrow him. One day the yọ́mès who was the chief chieftain in Oyo kingdom who advised the king asked Alaafin Aole to tell them who his enemy was so that they could tell the armies to make war against his enemy.

They said it was distasteful to elect a new kakanfu without sending him to war to see how strong and capable he was. Al-Afin revealed to them that his only enemy was the new Afonga Kakanfo, who had imposed himself on him. He said that his enemy is stronger than him. Moreover, they belong to the same royal family and he is confused about what to do.

Oyomesis told Alaafin Aole that they knew what to do; They assured him that he would conquer Afonja, and agreed to send Afonja to a war to which he would not return. It is forbidden for any kakanfo in Yoruba land to refuse any war Ala sent him, and it is imperative that the kakanfo win the battle or never return. They conspire to send Afonga to wage war against Ewer. No one has ever dared to wage war against me in history. This was the result of two things. First, I was located on the hill. It is difficult to wage war against them. Secondly, she was the mother of both Alaafin Abiodun and Alafin Àjàgbó who ruled in the year 1587-1624 of Iwere, and it was Ajagbo who founded the kakanfo, and it was their agreement that no kakanfo would ever wage war against the Iwere.

They believed that if Afonga waged war against the Iri, he would be killed. Possibly he won at Iwere, there was another plan of the Oyo armies to kill Afonja on their way. Their plan was not to reveal to Afonga that he was waging war against the Iwere, they planned to lure him to the battlefield before telling him that the Alaafin Aole wanted him to make war against the Iwere.

One of Afonga's loyalists goes to him and reveals their plan to get rid of him, after revealing the plan to Afonga, he pretends not to know about their plan. On the day he was to go to war, he was appointed with his armies to carry out Aole's orders, and the Aole armies were leading him to Iwere, when they reached Iwere, Afonga made war against the Alaafin Aole armies and killed them all. . Afonja returned to Oyo with his armies, when he reached the Oyo frontier, he sent a message to Alafin Aul that their secret had been opened, and said he must commit suicide or Afonja would wipe out his entire family.

Ollie knew he had no choice but to do Afonja's wish; He entered his room and took out a pot with six arrows inside. Shoot one arrow to the east, one to the south, and one to", "north and one in the west. He began to curse the entire Yoruba race with powerful spells as he shot arrows. Part of his curse was that the Yoruba would never agree on one thing and would never love each other, he also said that the Yoruba would become slaves under the tribes they ruled over and whoever the Yoruba helped them would always pay them evil. After all the curses, Ollie raised the pot and smashed it, making the brakes cut; He said no one would be able to undo his curses. After the curses, Ollie poisons himself and dies.

After Oli's death, Adebe was crowned as the new Allied in Oyo, and there was turmoil in all the Yoruba lands during this time, and Afonja withdrew Ilorin from Oyo power, and said that they no longer wanted to be part of Oyo. No one dares to ask Afonja, except those who want to die prematurely. Afonja was looking for every means to bring the entire Yoruba race under his authority so that he could control the entire Yoruba. Ollie's curse seemed to be working on him faster. Afonja completely neglected Alafin, and did not take any command from him. Afonja had the most formidable armies in the entire Yoruba race at that time.

He started waging war on all Yoruba villages and towns. This makes it even scarier. Afonja wanted to rule the Yoruba then he sent a man named Olemi who was a Fulani man and an alpha from the north to be his herbal healer who would fortify him with supernatural powers. While El Alimi was coming to Ilorin, he came with his mostly Hausa entourage of slaves. Afonja also sent a request from one of his rich friends named Sọlágbẹrú to settle with him in Ilorin in another area to achieve his goal. Solagpiru also came and settled at Òke-Súnà on the outskirts of Ilorin; They were ruled by Afonja. Some slaves escape from his or her master and run to Afonga, and no one dares to ask him that he kidnaps his slave. Most of the Muslims stay with Solagberu because he was a sincere Muslim, rich and wise.

After Adipo's death, a new king named Maki was crowned with the title of "Alafin Oyo", and they sent a message to Afonga that a new king had been crowned in Oyo. Afonja asked them for the name of the new king, and they told him his name was Maaku do not die. Afonja replied that "ìgbà wo ni mák ò ní kú" He will eventually die.

Afonja began recruiting the Fulani and Hausa armies into his armies and each one addresses them as the Afonja armies, calling these armies Janmi comrades. They are waging war against the land of Ìgbómìnà; The name Afonja began to spread across the lands of Yoruba. The genmos, after waging war, return to the towns and villages with food and various possessions of the people they are waging war against; They were increasing in numbers over time. When not going to war, they torture the people of Ilorin by stealing their cattle. The Fulani armies were so formidable that Afonga himself did not know their numbers, and no one dared inform Afonga of these Janmu armies. At some point in time, Fágbohn who was a baál of Jàbàtá Afonga confronted that Janmoo was disturbing the peace of the people and if not taken care of then the Fulanis and Hausas he was shadowing would destroy Ilorin. Afonja sent to El Alimi to consult with him if what Fagbohun said was indeed true. Alimi told him that the Fulani and Hausa gods had been sent to help him, and said that the Yoruba were planning to destroy Ilorin. Afonja was very angry, and wanted to kill Fagbuhun, but Fagbuhun quickly spares his life.

This affair led to a quarrel between Afonja and his friend Solagbero because he had advised Afonja to send the Hausa and Fulani armies from Ilorin because Alimi was a hypocrite and had conceded. Fagbohun pledged to support Afonja on the matter; He also told Afonja that El Alimi had hypnotized him. Afonja was glad that he had nothing to fear as he had more than enough armies, not knowing that they were not loyal to him. These gnomes know that", "Afonga the Yoruba had decided that they should leave Ilorin, and he was surrounded at any time, Afonga's armies which were Hausa and Fulani went to El Alimi and told him to be godfather to them and El Alimi accepted their offer. It was too late before Afonja knew that they were plotting to overthrow him. He was preparing for war to right his wrongs, he wanted to free Ilorin from Janmu, he told El Alimi to leave Ilorin with his men, El Alimi refused, said they couldn't leave Ilorin, El Alimi joined Janmu to fight Afonga war broke out between Afonga and his close friend Alimi."


Afonja sent for Oníkòyí and some other warriors to come and help him but they refused his request. He sent for Solagberu in Oke-Suna, but he didn't reply, he said he started it alone so he should finish what he started. Before Afonja knew what was happening, the war he was preparing for was already with him. They started shooting their arrows at him. The arrow on Afonja's body was more than five hundred thousand. Afonga died standing on his foot, and they were afraid to approach him thinking that he might perform some magic; The arrows were on his body such that there was no place in his body without an arrow. It was the arrows that did not allow Afonja to fall. The brave man in their midst approached him and shot him with another arrow. At that time he was sure that Afonja was dead. All the Yoruba armies had fled, and no one had come to Afonja's aid.

They took Afonja's corpse and burned it after which Al-Alimi went to Afonja's compound and seduced them that there was a bit of a misunderstanding between him and his friend Afonja, and that he was very sorry for what had happened. El Alimi rebuilt the Afonga household, took the position of Paali away from the Afonga family, and became Balinese. He was the first Baale of their tribe.

Elemi later killed Solagberun who, saying he was not interested in the war between Afonja and Alimi, He beheaded him in the open.
