A city and district in western Nigeria; the city is just over 100 miles (161 km.) northeast of Lagos. Established in the mid 18th century by Yoruba refugees fleeing Fulani incursions, the state was never a hereditary monarchy in the traditional West African model, but rather a kind of despotate, each successive ruler achieving his position by being acknowledged as the toughest and most ruthless in the community.
