Olowo Imade succeeded his father, Ojugbelu at Okiti Upafa (Upafa Hills). He led his people to Oke-Made (Made-Hills) 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 (present day center of Owo town[1]) 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 (Uloro) quarters. Today, the 12 Iloro (Ighare) Chiefs are responsible for the installation and burial of the Olowo.[citation needed]
Olowo Imade is credited for naming the Owo Kingdom and establishing the Olowo Title. The meaning of Olowo means "He who Deserves Respect"[citation needed]
