1938
The Apostolic Church takes root in Takete-Ide
Rev. K. P. Titus was an important figure in the establishment of The Apostolic Church in Takete-Ide, later supporting converts who chose to settle along the Kabba–Ilorin road corridor.
Further Migration
Takete-Tedo, Okegada
A later chapter in Takete-Ide migration history, beginning in the late 1940s and growing through kinship, road access and communal labour.
A second settlement, one Takete-Ide community
In the mid-20th century, a subsequent movement expanded toward the more accessible Okegada area near the Kabba–Ilorin road, facilitated by community leadership and the economic advantages of direct highway access.
The account does not treat Takete-Tedo as a separate people. Its central theme is continuity: families moved for practical reasons while maintaining their identity, farms, kinship and ties with the main Takete-Ide settlement.
