Ojude Oba festival

The Ojude Oba Festival is an ancient celebration among the Yoruba people of Ijebu-Ode, a town in Ogun State, Southwestern Nigeria.

This vibrant festival takes place on the third day after Eid al-Kabir (Ileya), honoring the Awujale of Ijebuland, the royal majesty.

During the festivities, cultural age groups known as regberegbe—composed of indigenes, friends, and associates—parade at the front courtyard of the king’s palace.

It’s a magnificent gathering that draws around a million people from different parts of the world, especially those of Yoruba descent and, notably, people of Ijebu origin worldwide.

In a recent development, Legit.ng also reported that the historical city of Ijebu Ode stands still as residents and other people from far and near throng the place to pay homage to the king, Awujale.

Famous Kuku family rides into the cultural

Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that a video showed how a family entered the Ojude Oba festival arena for their own cultural display.

The family, known as the Kuku family of Ijebu, entered on a horseback ride accompanied by a large number of people.

In the video posted on TikTok by Ayobami Okunade, it was also seen that a gun salute heralded their entrance. Some people who were present at the Ojude Oba said they witnessed the performance by the Kuku family and that it lasted a long time.
