Ogere (also referred to as Ogere Remo or Ogere-Remo or Ogere - Remo), is an ancient town in the present Remo Division of Ogun State, Nigeria. The town was founded circa 1401 A.D. Ogere is part of the Ikenne Local Government Area of Ogun State.

The ancestral home of the Yorubas is Ile-Ife. Oduduwa is the ancestral father of all the Yorubas at home and in the diaspora.
