Iseyin is a traditional Yoruba town in Oyo State, northwest of Ibadan, set in savanna and farming country. It is arranged in the older Yoruba pattern around the palace of its traditional ruler and the central market.
The town is one of the principal centres of aso-oke weaving, the hand-woven cloth used for Yoruba ceremonial dress, and the weaving compounds are its distinctive draw. The palace and the market are the focus of town life, busiest in the morning.
Shared taxis and motorcycle taxis are the standard transport, and the centre is walkable in the cooler hours. Roads connect to Ibadan and Oyo, and journeys are slow.
The climate is tropical with a long rainy season through the middle of the year. The drier months around the turn of the year are easier for travel, though the harmattan brings dust and haze.
Nigeria uses the NGN, calling code +234.
Nigeria uses the naira, and English is the official language with Yoruba the everyday speech. Greetings and respect for elders are strongly emphasised, and cash and transfers are both used.
