Ekiti people The Ekiti are one of the largest historical subgroups of the larger Yoruba people of West Africa. They are classified as a Central Yoruba group, alongside the Ijesha, Igbomina, Yagba and Ifes. Ekiti State is populated exclusively by Ekiti people, however, it is but a segment of historical territorial domain of Ekiti speaking groups. The name "Ekiti" is a derivation of an earlier term "Okiti" which means "Hilly" in Yoruba, as characterized by the generally hilly terrain of the areas the Ekiti inhabit. In associating Ekitiland with Ekiti State of Nigeria, it was observed that a good percentage of its people and communities located within the same geographical space of current day Ekiti State (one of the Nigeria’s 36 States) are homogenous. Ekitiland (Ekiti homestead), which is one of the sub-ethnic groups of the Yorubas found in the North-Eastern part, was described by Olomola as an area dominated by ‘rugged hills of relative heights’ along with many other Yoruba communities in the hinterland. Hence, if Ekiti was a toponym derived from its hilly environment, it would extend to areas of Upper Ogun, Ijesaland, Okuku and Igbajo, Iyagba, Owe (Kabba) and Akoko. Other early writers had referred to people of Ekitiland as ‘Efon’ tribes, except Ellis and Akinjogbin who interchangeably used Ekiti and Efon to refer to these same sets of people.
