Photos from the Just concluded Ojude Oba festival in Ogun state.
The Yoruba community of Ijebu-Ode, a significant town in Ogun State, Southwest Nigeria, celebrates Ojude Oba, also known as The King's Forecourt, an ancient festival celebration. This yearly celebration, known as Ileya, is held to honor and show respect for the Awujale of Ijebuland, the Royal Majesty, on the third day following Eid al-Kabir. One of the most elegant and spiritual festivals, it is observed throughout Ogun State and Ijebuland.
During the festivities, different cultural age groups known as regberegbe composed of indigenes, their friends, and associates parade at the front courtyard of the king’s palace on the third day of Eid al Kabir.
Each group with both male and female counterparts, go all out for the season’s most expensive clothing, wearing bright-coloured attires in traditional styles made from sanyan, and alaari, etu, adire to the more contemporary brocades and laces.
This year’s festival was no different, the groups came out looking regal and flamboyant in their colourful attires.
