ABOUT ONDO KINGDOM
The Ondo Kingdom is a traditional state that traces its origins back for over 500 years, with its capital in Ode Ondo. The Ondo Kingdom was established by Princess Pupupu, one of the twins of Alaafin Oluaso. Her mother was Queen Olu who later died at Ile oluji. The princess gave birth to twins in an era where twins were considered an abomination. They called them Ese Omo. One of the twins died at Epe near Ondo. There were wars in the town between 1865 to 1885 when people in the kingdom fled to Oke Opa. Three Osemawes were installed and died there. Before then the kingdom was ruled by the son of Pupupu called Airo. Airo went to Benin under the pupilage of his uncle Oba Eiseghie 1516 to train in the art of governance.
Airo came back with many traditional Benin culture and religion. On his arrival, he changed the organogram of the chieftaincy by changing Chief Lisa as second in command as he saw in Benin and made Chief Jomo the third in command. Osemawe Airo brought some titles from Benin to Ondo like Logboesere, Ogbodu, and Lisagbo. As Osemawe his brothers and sisters are settled at Odi Lotu Omooba at Oke Otunba headed by one of the princes called Olotu Omooba.
The present ruler of the Kingdom is Oba Adesimbo Victor Kiladejo JILO III, the 44th Osemawe, or traditional ruler.
