The fact that ogiyan, is from Ile- Ife is verified by Ejigbo Mekun ’ the name of a request in Ile- Ife. Akinjole settled numerous other townlets spread around yorubaland. He’s the consummate sovereign and specified authority over numerous, if not all of them.

The win tree of which so numerous accoutrements are being got from similar as brooms which are meant for cleaning of the terrain, win wine, win kernel, to mention many is a veritably good illustration.

also, oral substantiation suggests that the vacuity of these products by and large, made and encouraged the expansion of Ejigbo community request. The request came expanded as a result of agreement in Ejigbo community by people from far and near who shared in this flourishing business of buying and selling of the product of these oil painting- win diligence.
