The 2025 edition of the iconic, Ojude Oba, festival once again brought the ancient city of Ijebu-Ode to life with a dazzling display of culture, tradition, and royalty.

With men and women adorned in regal attire and horse-riding contingents parading proudly, the festival reaffirmed its status as one of Nigeria’s most vibrant celebrations of heritage and identity.

This year’s event saw various dynasties showcasing their distinct colors and traditions, each competing not just in style but in a shared spirit of unity and pride.

From beaded crowns to elaborately embroidered agbadas, the spectacle was a true tribute to the richness of Yoruba culture.

Ojude Oba 2025 was more than just a festival — it was a celebration of history, creativity, art, fashion, and deep-rooted respect for the Awujale, the revered monarch of Ijebuland.
