Àwọn àlàyé mìíràn

"In the days when our forefathers were farmers, they kept yams in the barn. The size of a farmer's barn indicates the level of his wealth. The first bearer of the name was a warrior and farmer originally from present-day Niger State. He was a Nupe man who migrated to present-day Yorùbáland with Oshodi." [verification needed]
