English: The Onjo of Okeho, Oba Rafiu Mustapha, in a meeting by TUNDE BUSAR

I'm the eighteenth following 20 years of interregnum, which God assisted us with settling when I was introduced.

Okeho appeared in 1680. The historical backdrop of the town is about the movement of a sovereign from Ilaro, known as Ojo Oronna. He descended from Ilaro after he challenged the Olu of Ilaro stool however lost to his more youthful sibling. He believed he expected to resettle somewhere else. Thus, he left Ilaro in the organization for certain high bosses, including Jagun, Mogaji, Balogun and others, who had maintained that him should turn into the Olu of Ilaro. They upheld him to the furthest limit of the matter and followed him on his excursion.

I need to make an explanation at this point since it is critical to do as such to keep away from twisting. We can't lay out who originally settled here between Ojo Oronna and his kin on one hand and Olofin on the other hand.Olofin was a tracker. This occurred. On one occasion Ojo Oronna, who was a rancher, located a rising smoke at some distance. He then, at that point, chose to follow the smoke. That was the manner by which he met Olofin. They became companions and lived cheerfully as neighbors. That was what was happening, the quiet circumstance until the Dahomey and Fulani Jihadwars somewhere in the range of 1800 and 1820 constrained numerous networks to escape to better places. By the day's end, we had 10 networks coinciding here. The name then was not Okeho, it was Ojio and Ojo Oronna was the ruler. The new networks acknowledged the power of Onjo due to his illustrious blood and his feeling of organization. Yet, the new game plan, after the new networks came, was that top of every pilgrims administered the town together. These people group are Olele, Bonje, Ishia, Ogun, Isale Alubo, Oke Ogun, Imoba, Isemi-Okeho and the host town Ijo. That was what was happening until the OnjoArilesere assembled tops of those networks to shape what is currently Okeho. Then, at that point, different networks went to quarters.

We have just two decision houses. One, Adeniyi and two, Etielu administering houses.

What number of rulers showed interest on the stool?

We were 10 challengers.
