Ilorin () is the capital city of Kwara State located in the Western region of Nigeria. Although Ilorin is classified under the North-Central geopolitical zone, the city is considered a Yoruba city by all historical and sociological standards. History Ilorin was founded by the Yoruba, one of the three largest ethnic groups in Nigeria, in the late 18th century. It became a provincial military headquarters within the Oyo Empire until 1817, when the local Kakanfo (field marshal) named Afonja rebelled, supported by the Hausa Shehu Alimi, an itinerant Islamic preacher and teacher. The Oyo Empire and its Borgawa allies marched against Ilorin circa 1835, trying to reclaim its former glory, but were decisively defeated; this marked the end of Oyo.
