Olowo Imade succeeded his father, Ojugbelu at Okiti Upafa (Upafa Hills).

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.

Succeeded Olowo Imade died in 1106 AD at Owo and was succeeded by Olowo Korodo.
