    The Owu palace has its own culture of open deliberation where any Owu person can participate. That is why people refer to the Owus as “Owu a gbooro gbimo” meaning "Owu the deliberative group".

    The contemporary headquarters of the Ancient Owu Kingdom. Depicting the Olowu, first Oba to be crowned by Odùduwà, it is a living mirage of the cultural begining of the Yoruba nation.

    I've visited Abeokuta countless times, but on my most recent visit I decided I would go to Owu for the first time. I loved the general air of the place, especially seeing that a good chunk of the town is situated on a hill. This is noticeable when you drive in or out of the place. The chiefs I met were quite warm and welcoming, the Asipa explaining more about the traditional setup as well as some of their notable festivals. The palace of the Olowu (king), I later found out, is visible from the top of Olumo Rock.
