Business executive and cancer survivor, Farooq Oreagba, made another bold fashion statement at the 2025 edition of the Ojude Oba Festival in Ijebu Ode, Ogun State.

Oreagba, who went viral in 2024 for his stylish appearance at the same event, arrived again on horseback, dressed in a colourful agbada and matching accessories that drew the attention of guests and social media users.

The event, which held on Sunday, June 8, brought together indigenes, traditional rulers, and cultural groups to celebrate the annual post-Sallah festival in honour of the Awujale of Ijebuland.

In different posts on Instagram and X, Oreagba was hailed as the “King of Steeze” by admirers who praised his confidence, elegance and cultural pride.

Born in 1966, the Ijebu-Ode native is the Managing Director of NG Clearing Limited and a former member of the Nigerian Stock Exchange’s Derivatives Product Advisory Committee.

He studied Combined Engineering at Coventry University and also holds qualifications from the University of East London and Edward Greenes College, Oxford.

Oreagba, who survived bone and skin cancer between 2014 and 2017, has said in previous interviews that his experience with illness taught him to live with more purpose and courage.

At this year’s Ojude Oba, many said his look reflected not just style, but a symbol of resilience and cultural identity.

Several photos of his 2025 appearance have since gone viral online, with one fan commenting, “Oreagba na the reason some people dey wait for Ojude Oba every year.”

His return has once again positioned him as one of the major highlights of the festival.
