ancient Ilaro people welcomes visitors as well as their sons and
daughters in foreign lands back home with Apara, Oso and Eko. To the
Ilaro people the kola and the bitter kolas are meant for occasions such
as the worship of Ogun (Kola), Child naming ceremony (Orogbo). Elder
family members are usually called "Ogboni". Thus it is usual of Ilaro
people to say "Ba mi ki Ogboni e O." meaning extend my greetings to your
dad or the leader of your Family. The Ilaro family is mostly extended
in nature. The old / ancient part of the town still have these extended
families housed, fenced and named as Iga. Thus It is popular in Ilaro to
have compounds named as Iga Bada, Iga Keke, Iga Babaolu, Iga Ekerin,
Iga 'Modeolu etc. A thing of interest is the fact that these extended
families have specific / unique emblem for recognition as either
character, art and craft, trade, chieftaincy title or eligibility to the
Ilaro Kingship sit (Heirs to the throne).
