Welcome to the history of Ode-Aye. The original ancestor of Ode-Aye people was named Danikin (which is pronounced Daniken in the local dialect) who is the son of Ooni of Ife. History relates that Danikin migrated from Ile-Ife to Benin during the time of Oba Osoluwa, father of Oba Esigie of Benin and grandfather of the Ist Abodi (Jabado) of the Ikales.
