Isedo

Isedo was an Igbomina Yoruba kingdom near the later Ila Orangun. Founded by the hunter-prince Obalumo, it emerged between 1250 and 1400 according to oral tradition.

By the late fifteenth century, thirteen clans came under rulers bearing the title Obalumo. Isedo gave migrants from Ila Yara land to build Ila-Magbon and Ila-Odo, the nucleus of Ila Orangun. The Orangun later visited the Obalumo to pay homage and visit his mother’s grave at Isedo. An Isedo royal branch helped found Oke-Ila.
