- Inisa abstract "Inisa, is a city located in South-western Nigeria, located in Osun State. The city is a trading center for the cocoa and kolanut produced in the surrounding areas. Inisa lies in the Yoruba cultural region. In the late 19th century it was the only town in South-western Nigeria not to suffer great losses in population in the struggle among various Yoruba kingdoms to control the area.This was mostly because Inisa was located too far south to be effectively controlled by the Ilorin Emirate, a powerful Fulani-controlled Yoruba city to the north. Subsequently, outposts were set up by the Yoruba of Inisa to curtail the power of the Fulani at Ilorin. Population (1995) 116,800. Its population as of 2007 was 180,553. Inisa-town is in Odo-Otin Local Government Area of Osun State of Nigeria. It is situated about 26 kilometers by road north-east of Osogbo, the State capital. It is about five hour ride by rail from Lagos, the commercial capital of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. It is situated on the margins of the southern forests of Nigeria on a fairly raised land well over 600 meters above sea level. Inisa is the largest and most populous town in the Local government Area. The town has ancestral links with Alaafin of Oyo, the Alara of Aramoko in Ekiti and Owa of Ijesaland.Inisa was founded many centuries ago by Ooku, a brave prince and warrior from Offa-Eesun, a small but historic settlement near Ofa in the present Kwara State. Ofa-Eseun herself was founded by a prince of the Alaafin royal dynasty of old Oyo. From this historical link with Ofa, the Princes and Princesses of Inisa are commonly referred to as “OMO MOJO” while people of Inisa are generally referred to as “Inisa – Oyemojo” the word “OYEMOJO’ is a combination of two words (names), “OYE and MOJO”. One refers to the paternal parentage and the other to the maternal parentage of Ooku, the founder of Inisa. Ofa-Eesun was later destroyed during the Nupe incursions into the Northern Yorubaland in the 17th century. The Ofa-Eesun people subsequently moved en masse to found the present Ofa town. Ooku contested the throne of Ofa and lost.".
