Ijebu Ode, Trading center in Ogun State, Nigeria.

The local government area of Ijebu-Ode sits 110 kilometers northeast of Lagos, connected by the A121 highway near the Atlantic Ocean.

The British forces engaged in combat with Ijebu warriors along the Yemoji River in 1892, leading to the end of the local trade monopoly.

The annual Ojude Oba festival brings the community together with parades and ceremonies to honor the Awujale, the traditional ruler of Ijebuland.

The area functions as a collection point for agricultural products including kola nuts, cocoa, palm oil, and kernels destined for export through Lagos.

Sungbo's Eredo, located within the territory, ranks among the largest defensive structures in West Africa.
