Erinmope Ekiti is an ancient town in Ekiti State, Nigeria. It is located in Moba Local Government Area. The genealogical history of Erinmope can be linked to Oraufe dynasty in Ile-Ife, through the birth of Ayetise, progenitor of Lajamisan and the emergence of Obaleo from the Lajamisan dynasty. The role of Ifa oracle in guiding the people from Ile-Ife to her current day location cannot be over emphasized.
