Queen Moremi was the Queen of Ile Ife who hailed from Offa (city in Kwara State), she was married to the successor of Ile Ife, Oranmiyan. During that time, the Kingdom of Ile Ife was constantly being raided by a Kingdom that the people of Ile Ife considered spirits, the raiders would raid the people and after raiding would disappear deep into the forest without being seen until the day of their next raiding. This continued until Queen Moremi decided to take actions and stop the raiders from enslaving and raiding her people.

Many centuries ago, these warriors played significant roles in the development of their Kingom's Political, Spiritual, Military and Economy, women like Queen Nzinga, Queen Nyabinghi, Sarraounia and many more were believed to possess spiritual powers as some were priestesses, seers, advisors and even oracles.

Although her cult was practiced in some African Kingdoms, she was still popular and during mid 18th century, the Colonists declared the worship of Non-Orthodox practices forbidden but many still worshipped her and by late 18th century, her cult had expanded and reached Jamaica where a cult was created with another name but in respect to Nyabinghi.
