Ado

Ado, at present-day Ado Ekiti, is an Ekiti-Yoruba kingdom whose rulers hold the title of Ewi. Its founder Ewi Awamaro was descended from a party that left Ile-Ife with Oranmiyan and, after long wanderings through the Benin forests and several interim settlements, finally made his home at Ulesun, the site of the present-day town.
