                                               PROFILE OF ODE ONDO (ONDO CITY)
                                                                     Introduction
Situated in the Southwestern belt of the Nigerian rainforest, Ode Ondo or Ondo City has a population of half a million people, making it one of the largest cities in the state named after it. Its traditional ruler, the Osemawe is a descendant of Oodua, the founding King of Yoruba Kingdoms. The current Osemawe is Oba (Dr.) Victor A. Kiladejo. The forty fourth King who was a medical practitioner before he succeeded Oba (Dr.) Festus I.A Adesanoye. He is married to Olori Comfort Olayinka Kiladejo.
The location of Ondo in the middle of Nigeria’s rain forest but with good access to the coast made the city a major transit point to northeast Yoruba land during the era of Yoruba civil war. Its strategic location led to its rapid rise as a conduit for goods from Lagos into Yoruba land, and subsequently attracted Christian missionaries who established the first mission church, St. Stephen’s Oke-Aluko in 1875.
The coming of Christian missionaries, many of whom were anglicized Africans, had a lasting impact on the community. First was the establishment of a primary school which trained catechists and teachers, as well as what were then Native Authority clerks. The functional education received in the primary school also led to new commercial ventures such as cocoa and rubber farming, a shift to a measure of cash crop farming. The Ondos also left their community to trade with Europeans in what is called "Eti Odo" (the riverine area adjoining the present Ondo and Ogun states) as retail merchants, representatives of European trading companies, and interpreters to foreign merchants.
