It is the cradle of Oromo civilization and the birthplace of the Gadaa system.[5][4] It also produced numerous Oromo heroes.[5] Because of its deep rooted value for Oromo people, the name Madda Walabu is commonly used by Madda Walabu Stadium, Madda Walabu Cultural band, Madda Walabu University itself and other smaller business centers named after this unique place.[4][6]
