History

The Jalumi War of 1 November 1878 took place in the hilly country of the northeast of Osun State in the area that includes Ikirun, Iba, Inisa, Okuku and Eko-Ende. It was one of the series of civil wars in Yorubaland between 1793 and 1893.[3] The traditional ruler is the Elende of Eko-Ende. As of 2013 Oba Abdul-Rauf Adebayo Ajiboye held this title.[2]

gollark: A "warmer sound" seems pretty nonsensical for *listening* to music, surely you just want maximum reproduction of the input signal from your DAC or whatever.
