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) 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.
Olowo Imade is credited for naming the Owo Kingdom and establishing the Olowo title. The meaning of Olowo means "He who Deserves Respect."
