Oranmiyan's staff at Ife
Oranyan (also known as Oranmiyan) was a Yoruba king from the city of Ife, Nigeria and the son of the mythical Oduduwa. According to Yoruba history, he founded Oyo around 1400, and his son, Eweka I, was the first Oba of the Benin Empire. When Oranyan died, his son erected an obelisk known as the Staff of Oranmiyan at the place of his father's death.
