Provincial rulers paid the Aláàfin annual visits bearing presents of firewood, fine locally made mats, kola nuts and bitter kolas — and one, the Oworé of Otun, brought sweet water from a cool spring for the king's drinking.
“The Owa and his brothers used to pay the ALAFIN annual visits, with presents of firewood, fine locally-made mats, kola nuts and bitter kolas; the Oworé of Otun with sweet water from a cool spring at Otun—this water the ALAFIN first spills on the ground as a libation before performing any ceremonies. The other Ekiti Kings used also to take with them suitable presents as each could afford, and bring away lavish presents from their elder brother.”
