- Note
- "Oyo is a city in Oyo State, Nigeria, founded as the capital of the Oyo Kingdom in the 1830s and known to its people as ´New Oyo´ (Ọyọ Atiba) to distinguish it from the former capital to the north, ´Old Oyo´ (Ọyọ-Ile), which had been deserted as a result of rumors of war. Its inhabitants are mostly of the Yoruba people, and its ruler is the imperial majesty Alaafin of Oyo.
The major market in the city is Akeesan market, also called Oja Oba (King´s market) its very close to the Alaafin´s Palace, which is opened on a daily basis unlike the other marketplaces, such as Ajegunle market, irepodun market which is opened for a five-day interval, and Sabo market (five days)." - (en.wikipedia.org 23.10.2019) - Latitude
