Erinmope Ekiti is an ancient town in Ekiti State, Nigeria.[1] It is located in Moba Local Government Area.[2][3][4][5] The genealogical history of Erinmope can be linked to Oraufe dynasty in Ile-Ife, through the birth of Ayetise, progenitor of Lajamisan and the emergence of Obaleo from the Lajamisan dynasty. The role of Ifa oracle in guiding the people from Ile-Ife to her current day location cannot be over emphasized. ERINMOPE came from the idea of history linked by the phrase - ERIN NI MO PE meaning “I taught it was an elephant”.[6][7][8]
