Olu Irame was the 3rd Olu of Warri.[1] He was the second son to Olu Ginuwa and succeeded his brother Olu Ogbowuru (Ijijen) as the 3rd Olu of Warri.[2][3] It is stated that he banished the three gods (Ibirikimo, Otueke, and Ike) and their worshipers from Ode-Itsekiri-Olu (Big Warri) because of their incessant ''noise-making". The gods and their worshipers moved to Orugbo which is a community about 2 miles from Ode-Itsekiri-olu.[4][5]
