Ijesha
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Ijesha (written as Ijesa in Yoruba orthography), are a sub-ethnic of the Yoruba. The Ijesha territory is adjoined by the Ekiti on the east, the Igbomina to the north, the Ife to the south, and the Oyo and Ibolo to the west.
The Ijesha may have lost some territory to their neighbours during various conflicts and wars of the nineteenth and preceding centuries. The people of Oke-Ako, Irele, Omuo-Oke speak a dialect similar to Ijesha.
