Abstract: | Due to the turbulent events in Northern and Central Nigeria at some time between 1790 and 1815, refugees from Old Oyo began to migrate to Ife. The refugees in case are the Modakeke people. From several sources - oral tradition as well as written historical evidence - the author draws a chronological scheme of the history of the Modakeke which in 1882, helped by the Ibadans, destroyed Ife.
