Oranmiyan was said to be the last child of his father Okanbi and he was a war chief by profession. As such he was always on the move fighting war and expanding territory during his grandfather's time.
It was said that he was raised by his grandfather along with his siblings because their father died at a very young age leaving his seven children for his father Oduduwa to raise.
After the death of Oduduwa and Asara their grandparents, Oranmiyan had gone to war as usual and there was no means to pass the message of their grandparents passing across to him so his siblings had to wait for his return.

After several years of waiting, Oranmiyan siblings decided and shared their grandfather properties amongst themselves without leaving anything for Oranmiyan with the belief that Oranmiyan was dead in war.
Few years after they shared the properties, Oranmiyan returned home and accepted his fate of not benefiting anything from his grandfather's property and he continued living his life.
One day, his sister summoned their other siblings and pleaded with them that they should all look for a way to help Oranmiyan out of poverty.It was then agreed upon that they should be paying a portion of their farm produce to Oranmiyan after each farming year.

In return for this favour, Oranmiyan was expected to protect his siblings territories with his magic war tactics. And that was how the tribute collection started amongst the Yoruba people.
It was said that Oranmiyan fought war across Yoruba land down to siyme part if the present Binin Kingdom down to some part of Idaome and this is evident in the shared culture amongst the above listed people.
Lastly, Oranmiyan was said to have tuned into a statue that can not be seen by anybody who does not belong to his blood line but his staff can be seen by every one and it attract tourists from far and near.
