The history of Owu-Kuta, a town where selling pounded yam is forbidden [with English subtitles]

Anlugbua/Akindele, a famous hunter and warrior was the progenitor that led his people from Orile-Owu to Owu-Kuta, where they are presently settled. He left Orile-Owu because he was not given the chance to reign after his father’s passage. His younger brother was made to ascend the throne, which angered him. So, he left and later settled in a place called Iku ta mi ti (I evaded death.) It is Ikutamiti that was shortened to Kuta.
Anlugbua/Alugbua sink to the ground, instead of dying physically. The spot where he entered into the ground is where Kuta people annually converge to celebrate. The
the place is now a historical site.
His wife, the queen, also turned herself into a river. Today, that river is known as Odo Aya-Oba (The Queen’s River.)
His Royal Majesty, Oba Adekunle Makama Oyelude, Olowu Of Owu-Kuta is the 13th king of Owu Kuta. Owu Kuta is a town where selling pounded yam and groundnut is forbidden.
