Babaloma is a small town in the Kwara State of Nigeria. It is located about 75 km from Ilorin, the state capital, and 45 km from Jebba, a major city that was located in Kwara State but was moved to Niger State by the Babangida administration. There is evidence that Babaloma was initially settled from the nearby Oyo State.
Babaloma is known as a stopover town, especially when the major road that linked Niger State and Kwara State passed through it. Babaloma was one of the first towns in the area to have electricity and pipe-borne water. Babaloma is situated on the major Osin River, which it treats and pumps both throughout the town and to surrounding towns and villages.
