Ojude Oba which represents "the King's fore-court or frontage" in Yoruba, could also be translated as “Majestic outing”. It was formerly a small gathering of the people of the Islamic religion which started over 100 years ago, when the earliest Muslim converts in Ijebu-Ode paid homage to the Awujale of Ijebu-land, showing their appreciation for granting them the liberty to practice and observe their religion. usually celebrated with Pomp and pageantry by about 1,000,000 people annually from different parts of the world and Nigeria, especially those from Yoruba origin and most especially by people of Ijebu descent all over the world.
This video is about 30% of the 5mins video of the same festival that was shown on Arise TV Nigeria this morning. It was a show of the elegance of the Nigerian people. The display of colourful attires in groups is just flamboyant n breath taking. Great Nigerians 🙌🏼

The event is call OJUDE OBA,meaning the in front of the king yard,this is down every year and it commands the Ijebu Ode indigenous from home and abroad. Its a global event that so many tribe are now imitating, another thing is that Ijebu Ode people of Ogun State is having longest living king in Nigeria right now,he became King at the age of 25 and now has reigned for 60years,his name his HRM Sikiru Kayode Adetona Ogbagba the second(Orisa Ijebu translation Deity of the Ijebu people).
What a beautiful ceremony
That is Ijebu culture. Ojude Oba is done at the 3rd day of Eid Kabir (Muslim big celebration when rams are slaughtered). It's been done for centuries.
Nothing like Abeokuta Yorubas....we are called Egbas,our homeland stretches from present day Abeokuta to Lagos.
The cloth they are putting on is called Aso Ebi
The fabric is Aso oke and when the same fabric is worn by family members (now used by friends of the family) it’s called Aso ebi - family wear.
The kind of fabric is Aso-Oke. When the same kind of fabric is worn by many people in the same event, it is called Aso- Ebi
Ojude Oba means the The Kings Party in his Court.
K'are omo Igbomina!
Tinba r'omo Igbomina, mori ara'le mi ni.
🙌🙌🙌
Next year sallah
