Ila Yara


Ila Yara was the original kingdom founded about the 12th century by Ajagun-nla, also nicknamed "Orangun", a legendary grandson of Oduduwa. The kingdom split into two after Orangun Apakiimo was installed towards the end of the 15th century. A young prince Arutu, who lost the contest for the Orangun throne, led a rebellion and exodus of his supporters, and founded the Ila, Nigeria kingdom further northward. Both kings of the Oke-Ila and Ila kingdoms
are titled "Orangun".
