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.

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.
