Description
His majesty Oba Mofolorunso Oyebade Lipede I, who is widely acknowledged as one of the most progressive, endearing, enlightened traditional rulers in the country was born at Erunwon Township, Ake, Abeokuta on 26th January 1915. His parents were prince Adebowale Lipede a grandson of princess Deluola, a daughter of King Jibodu, and Mrs Adeline Abiola Lipede—a daughter of chief Lunloku who was a brother to Dende Kitunmade of the Jibolu/ Taiwo family of Itesi, Ogbe/Oba and Imo Townships of Abeokuta. All these facts only point to the dual royal birth that our revered Oba Lipede enjoys.
