As a way to further write the name of Late Oba Joledo in the heart of the people due to his numerous good deeds, Oba Ibeun in agreement with other members of Mopa Traditional Council (MTC), named Mopa City Hall after the Late Oba.

Rev. Dr. D.O. Daniyan, who gave a short sermon from Psalm 116:15, said the demise of Late Oba Joledo is precious just according to the Bible, emphasizing that he is a Saint.

The Chief Imam of Imam of Mopa, Alhaji Dare Yusuf Babalola, during his sermon, said what he learnt from the life of the immediate past Elulu, he will use to give an advise to everyone, that everyone should continue to do what they know how to do best and that they will receive the reward.
