Businessman and socialite Farooq Oreagba was a major highlight at the 2026 Ojude Oba Festival. He made a grand entrance on horseback at the cultural event in Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State.
Dressed in elegant traditional attire and matching accessories, he received loud cheers from the crowd as he rode into the arena. His arrival was captured in many photos and videos, quickly sparking conversations on social media. Many people called his entrance regal, stylish, and unforgettable.
After Farooq finished his parade, another rider came into the arena, his son, Jamal Oreagba. Like his father, Jamal also made a memorable appearance on horseback, winning admiration from festival-goers and online users.
The father-and-son moment became one of the most talked-about parts of the festival. People praised their confidence, fashion sense, and pride in their culture.
On X, a user named #EmekaEzeanya commented, "Farooq Oreagba rode back into Ojude Oba like a Yoruba god! Same horse, upgraded steeze. Baba no dey age, he dey upgrade. The king of drip has entered the chat and shut it down."
Another user, #JustAmof, said, "Farooq Oreagba don turn Ojude Oba to annual ‘Steeze Olympics’ at this point. Person wey survived cancer still dey ride in with confidence, full agbada, dark shades and premium composure."
User #ViktorClipz praised Oreagba for promoting Yoruba culture. He posted, "Well displayed, he’s doing a massive job preserving the culture of his forefathers."
Another comment from #Ox_Trump read, "Steeze no get retirement plan; Mr Farooq just dey remind us every year say elegance is a lifestyle."
The Ojude Oba Festival happens every year on the third day after Eid-el-Kabir. It is one of Nigeria’s biggest cultural events, attracting thousands of people from Nigeria and abroad.
The festival gathers politicians, business leaders, celebrities, and members of the Ijebu diaspora to celebrate culture, unity, and loyalty to tradition.
This year’s festival is taking place without a substantive Awujale on the throne. This follows recent events regarding the traditional stool.
