The Ofokutu Royal Dynasty of Ijesaland has poured its heart into congratulating one of its own—Prince Adewale Francis Omorotade—on ascending to the presidency of the Washington Bar Association in the United States.
The announcement has been celebrated not merely as an individual triumph, but as a reaffirmation of the dynasty’s enduring influence and the luminous legacy of its patriarch, the late Oba Titus Folorunso Adewale (Alowoludu I).
On behalf of the royal house, Prince Adewale Victor Olusanya, head of the Famoyin branch of Ofokutu, expressed profound elation and gratitude. He hailed the elevation of Prince Omorotade as a milestone that radiates far beyond the legal profession—it stands as a testament to the global relevance of Ijesa excellence.
“His elevation is not just personal success; it is a beacon for all children of Ijesaland, and proof that our people can reach the highest echelons of international leadership,” Prince Olusanya said.
He praised Prince Omorotade’s years of disciplined study, ethical conduct, and service, pointing out that the new Washington Bar president has long exemplified the standards that his lineage has championed.
Moreover, Prince Olusanya noted, this achievement strengthens Nigeria’s global reputation and inspires a new generation of professionals in the diaspora.
Ofokutu Heritage & the Reign of Alowoludu I
To fully appreciate the moment, one must return to the reign of Oba Titus Folorunso Adewale, popularly known as Alowoludu I. From 1970 to 1989, his tenure as Ajemba of Ijemba Kingdom was marked by visionary leadership, the strengthening of tradition, and the promotion of education and public service among his people.
He was more than a monarch: he was a builder of character, a cultivator of minds, and a unifier of lineage. Under his watch, the Ofokutu (Owa Ofokutu) lineage, a branch of the Bilaro Ruling House, gained renewed dignity, influence, and a reputation for producing leaders in law, governance, commerce, and academia.
His descendants have carried on this heritage, extending the dynasty’s reach beyond local trappings to the heights of national and international prominence. It is from this royal root that Prince Adewale Francis Omorotade draws both his name and his purpose.
