This is a historical study of the process of integration in Ilorin in the nineteenth century. The concept of integration is a background to the study. This concept, as argued in the paper is not only relevant to modern nation states but also traditional Africa societies in general and Ilorin in particular. Ilorin was a heterogeneous society at the beginning of the nineteenth century, however, the role of the ruling elite in the distribution of political offices; the use of religious idiom of Islam; and the hostility shown towards Ilorin by her southern neighbors brought the people together. Furthermore, the military class was an integrative factor. Indeed, the economy of Ilorin promoted intergroup relations which led to diffusion of cultures which at the end of the century produced a distinct Ilorin culture.##plugins.themes.default.displayStats.downloads##
