On the way from the town of Ikare to the town of Ilorin are very many Ekiti towns. Here are just the few of them: Omuo, Ilasa, Odo Ayedun, Esun, Ikole, Osun, Itapa, Ilupeju. Oye, Ifaki, Ayede, Imojo, Oloje, Ilafon, Isan, Iludun, Obada, Iye, Ijesamodu, Ikun, Otun, and Ado Ekiti, the capital. I remember also Igbara-Oke, Igbara-Odo, Ilawe, Igede, Aramoko, Ijero, Ire, Ikere, among others from my childhood travels. How many more do you know?
I just found out that there is another Ekiti town within Kwara State. Just how many Ekitis are out there anyway?

Igbara Oke is not Ekiti, at least politically. Also, there are more than one Ekiti towns in Kwara state.
It is a very big ethnic group and the only one to have a common suffix amongst its towns except for some ectopics.
Will supply the other Ekiti names in due time.
Cheers.

That’s right. Igbara-oke is in my Local Government: Ifedore. I am from Ijare…when I say that people say Ijare-Ekiti? I am like No, just Ijare!
Okay, how about the Akokos of this world? And about it being the Tower of Babel…you should write on that.
Also thinking about the saying about the Ijebu-Ijesa combo?
