Olowo Imade


Olowo Imade succeeded his father, Ojugbelu at Okiti Upafa. He led his people to Oke-Made where they had a short-lived stay mainly due to wars and incessant thunderstorms which caused several fatalities of the Omo-lowos. They eventually moved to Okiti-Asegbo and expanded to the southern part of town where Olowo Imade along with the Ighare warriors/chiefs conquered the land and settled. The area was designated the Iloro quarters. Today, the 12 Iloro Chiefs are responsible for the installation and burial of the Olowo.
Olowo Imade is credited for naming the Owo Kingdom and establishing the Olowo Title. The meaning of Olowo means "He who Deserves Respect"
