Ojomo Oluda



The Ojomo Oluda is the Yoruba king of Ijebu, Owo in Ondo State, southwestern Nigeria. The king is believed to be a descendant of Ojugbelu Arere, the pioneer Olowo of Owo. Ojomo Oluda also celebrates the Igogo festival with the incumbent Olowo of Owo since they are the descendants of the late Olowo Rerengejen, who married Oronsen, the goddess that brought about the annual Igogo festival.
