IWOYE VILLAGE
Iwoye boundary started from government reserve forest
stream at Alakaba stream, In the edge of Ilobi through Pala village through
Oniyanim river to Alagbada known as the boundary between Iwoye and Old Alakodo
Village.
It goes through Ijusu area known as Araromi, then to
olukobi village, Afowowa, Akindele, olojuagbe village , it goes on to ishaga
Ifemo and to odo alalori and it goes to akere village then to fatolu ategbe
village to olokuta to ilobi omuwa and to igbin and back to government reserved
forest at wojia
The history of the village dated as far back as the
early 19th century However, real facts started when Makinde Akinotan
was approached to take over as bale because of the nature of his work, he was a
tailor and professional drummer as the 6th Baale. When crisis broke
out between the Egbas in Iwoye led by Adebari, an Egbas in Iwoye led by Adebari, an Egba and
Egbas in Ori odo Called Esedo today.
The Crisis led the then olu of Ilaro oba Oluseyi who
came to Alegbede Village and made three ridges to service as the boundary
between Iwoye and Eredo thereby cutting of land belonging to the people of
Iwoye . On the day the boundry was made, Adebari told Oba olusoji that Pa.
Makinde will destroy the ridges at night claiming to the Oba that it was
makinde that destroyed the ridges subsequently, Makinde was arrested, tied and
fined five pounds
I confirm that Alagbede was solely part of Iwoye land, Pa Fagbemi an Uncle to pa Makinde
went to the front of the hips and cultivated a farm land which is still
existing till today at that spot. And by
then , the then olu of Ilaro, Oba Olusoji imposed another another Baale Adebari
on the people of Iwoye , this crisis divided the village into two till today.
This is the only point where Kuoleola family became Baale in Iwoye.
The Ipaja people which was a whole settlement were
given parcels of land by pa Makinde when they were driven from their village by
thieves.
In 1946, when the nature authority wanted to establish
primary school in iwoye, they approached late Adebari for the land in Iwoye and he told them that he Adebari had no land for the
project and he directed them to talk to Pa. Makinde who later gave them land
for the establishement of the only primary school in Iwoye to date.

The development
of a community is measured not only in terms of the size of land it occupies,
the number of beautiful buildings constructed but also mere impotently by the
academic institutions available for the training and development of its youth.
This philosophy guided the establishment of the Iwoye
area community high school in January 1957, it started as a modem school
serving iwoye Irogun Eredo, Jaja and Ipake communities. It was christened
African church modern School, leaving sowole as the principal
In 1980, the school was upgraded to a community High
school by the state government, Mr Adetokunbo S.O became the new principal
Immediately parents in the fire communities started
enrolling their wards in the school. This made students enrollment figure soar
from 1980 to early 1982. But
unfortunately, however before 1982 endeded, the student enrolment figure
dropped drastically, which led to the closure of the school.
The whole community became disturbed as a result of
the school’s closure. Then a committee led by chief Sunday Adeosun was set up
and tasked to get in touch with Engineer Y.A Akintomide, a son of the soil , on
the way forward. In his characteristics manner, the engineer took the bull by
the horns by swinging into action.
Engineer Akintomide single-handedelly recruited
teaching and Non-teaching staff on his pay roll. He also footed other financial
maintenance bills of the school for years
It was this same illustrious son Engineer Akintomide,
who obtained government approved for the school to be re-opened in 1996.
Even after the taking over by the state government, Engineer Y.A Akintomide
Philantropic gestures to the school contributed to wax stronger
Among many of his contributions are:
1.
Constructions
of a block of three classrooms
2.
Supply
of computer sets to the school
3.
