| has gloss | eng: The Akarigbo of Remo or Lord of Remo is a title of Kingship attributed to the Obas or Lords of the Yoruba town of Sagamu (pronounced Shagamu). This town and its surrounding areas are part of the former Yoruba Kingdom of the Ijebu, a subgroup of the greater Yoruba nation. The Obas of Remo have been in existence since the founding of the Ijebu Kingdom by a prince of Oyo named Obanta and the arrival of the Prince Akarigbo to the western area of the kingdom roughly around the early 1500s. The title given to the Obas of Sagamu, Akarigbo, is in honor of this first prince of their line. |
