The annual Ojude Oba Festival in Ijebu-Ode,
which held on Saturday (yesterday) was as usual rich in colours and cultural displays as the people of the
famous town ensured visitors enjoyed every bit of their culture,
processions and acrobatic displays.
The festival which is held two days after the Eid-El-Kabir festive
period is mainly for the people of Ijebu town to come together as one to
honour their traditional ruler, Oba Sikiru Adetona.
The festival is reputed to be one of the biggest of its kind in West
Africa as Ijebu indigenes and visitors from all over the world join in
the celebrations every year.
