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 alongside the incumbent Olowo of Owo, as both are descendants of the late Olowo Rerengejen, who married Oronsen—the goddess credited with the origin of the annual festival.
