For the past three years, BellaNaija has been attending the historic Ojude Oba festival and bringing all the moments to your doorstep. This year was no exception. As is known with the festival every year, Ojude Oba always has that one photo making rounds, garnering public interest. Two years ago, it was Farooq Oreagba‘s pose on horseback that captured the internet. Last year, it was Morenike Osifeso‘s warmth and pose that were the interest of the public. While there might have been many reasons why this year’s Ojude Oba is not generating its usual online buzz, the festival has yet again delivered some outstanding looks and moments.
From the fashionable glasses adorning the faces of beautiful women to horse riding with steeze and elegance, let’s look at some of the highlights from this year’s Ojude Oba.
The Queen of Steeze?
Farooq Oreagbe became the King of Steeze for his pose with his cigar on horseback at the 2024 Ojude Oba, and ever since, no one has been dubbed the Queen of Steeze ever since. Well, we might have captured it for the queen this year. With a cigar in hand, this elegant woman posed for our camera. With the reception, we can say we finally have the Ojube Oba’s Queen of Steeze.
Dance steps
Entrace dance steps at Ojude Oba are not to be missed. Each household and its group dance in colourful uniforms that make one appreciate culture and heritage. These are some of the dance steps we captured at Ojude Oba this year.
