Who We Are

Ipetu-Ijesa was founded by Oba Olabidanre, a grand son of Olofin in 1178. After the republican regime of Benin, the need arose of sending message to Ile-Ife to demand a prince to come down to Benin. Oranmiyan was chosen for the task.

Oranmiyan set out on this eventful journey to Benin in 1170 with a handsome entourage which include one of his grandson who was to be known as Oba Olabidanre Olugbiele. A powerful hunter “IJA” who traveled several times from Ile-Ife to Benin led the journey through thick forest (the forest that Ija knows) which stretches between Ile-Ife and Benin City and down to Ijebu Ode.

Giving back to the community through empowerment

Growing up in Ipetu Aropeju, I felt like my future was limited. But thanks to our community’s incredible programs, I was given the opportunity to attend school, receive medical care, and participate in sports. These programs have helped me develop essential skills and a positive outlook on life. Now, I’m a successful entrepreneur, able to contribute to our community and support others in their journeys.

A Brighter Future — For ipetu aropeju’s Children​

I’m so grateful for the incredible work our community is doing to provide opportunities for our children. From the medical clinics to the sports events and educational programs, these initiatives have made a huge difference in the lives of our young people. My son has benefited greatly from these programs and has become a more confident and well-rounded individual. I’m proud to be part of a community that cares so deeply about its members.
