Ikare is a city in the northern senatorial part of Ondo State, Nigeria.

Ikare-Akoko (Ikare for short), city in southwestern Nigeria, is located in the Northern Senatorial District of Ondo State[citation needed]. Ikare is about 100km from Akure, the Ondo State capital. The city was the divisional headquarters of the old Akoko Division, comprising Oka-Akoko, Isua-Akoko, Okeagbe-Akoko etc. Based on the Local Government System now practised in Nigeria, the city is currently the headquarters of Akoko North-East Local Government. The city is a trading area for farmers of Kolanut,Cocoa, and coffee. These farmers’s produces are sourced from the surrounding area, especially Awara and Otaloke hinterlands.

Ikare-Akoko as a city is ruled by the two recognized Kings, The Owa-Ale of Ikareland, Oba Adefemi Adeleke Adegbite Adedoyin(2nd) and the Olukare of Ikareland, Oba Akadri Momoh (4th).

Osele market is the Ikare’s biggest communal market where the city’s ancient traditions are displayed before terminating them at Owa-Ales’s palace at Okorun quarters, Ikare-Akoko.
Oja Oba is situated in front of Olukare’s palace. The city is located in the Yoruba cultural region and has a substantial Christian, Jehovah Witness and Muslim population with several Churches, worshiping halls and Mosques. The architectural style of the city incorporates both Portuguese and Arabic styles.[citation needed] The Portuguese style was introduced in the 16th century when Portugal began to export slaves from the region[according to whom?]. Arabic influences were incorporated in the 19th century with the diffusion of Islamic culture Southward across the Sahara. Population as of 2006 was over 700,000.

Notable among which are; Ondo State College of Art and Science {now Federal Technical College, Okegbe quarters, Ikare};Agbaode Orimolade, Grammar school, Ikare; Victory College Ikare; Lennon Jubilee High School Ikare; Citadel International College, Ikare; Comprehensive high School, Ikare; Greater Tomorrow Primary School and so many government and private-owned Primary and Secondary Schools.

Markets

Ikare is a chief commercial city in Ondo state with several industrial base and markets which include; Oja-Oba Market, Okore Market, Osele Market, Jubilee Market, and several other markets in adjoining Villages. It is a super city for successful transportation business especially by private individuals.

Inter Ethnic Relationships

Ikare though basically a Yoruba ethnic city, is also a place of convergence in Ondo State for many ethnic groups in Nigeria including the Igbo, Hausa, Fulani, and Ijaw. The friendly disposition of its natives to visitors and holiday makers, from time immemorial, is perhaps responsible for the growing number of settlers in the city.

Festival

Ikare has a rich cultural heritage with exciting festivals every year[clarification needed]. The most popular, Igbodo, new yam festival is the chief festival in Ikare which is celebrated every June 20. On this day, Ikare sons and daughters both home and abroad come together to celebrate what is usually termed the starting point of a new year for Ikare land. The festival also features Masquerade parade, such as Oke, Seeru, GanGan among others. There is also the Aringiya Festival (Maiden Festival) where virgin will paint themselves with Osun (Camwood) and go around the town nude, before converging at a designated point, at The Owa-Ale’s Palace in Ikare. However, Islamic festivals such as Eid-Maulud, Eid Fitr, Eid Kabir as well as Christian festivals such as Christmas, Easter and also the New Year Festival celebrated on every first day of January had almost overshadowed the Cultural Festivals. All these point to the fact that Ikare is a very religious city.
