It was fun, excitement and an exhilarating celebration of culture at this year’s Ojude Oba Festival.
As sponsors of the event, leading lender First City Monument Bank (FCMB) was expectedly highly visible. Beginning with an imposing billboard welcoming attendees to Ojude Oba 2016, to branding across the entire Ijebu-Ode town and the exclusive Ankara worn by the FCMB delegates, the Bank truly added colour to this year’s festival in a unique way.
FCMB has explained that it’s continuous support of the Ojude Oba Festival is borne out of its commitment to celebrate and preserve Nigeria’s cultural heritage, while also boosting the tourism sector, in line with the government’s ongoing drive to diversify the country’s economy.

Ewesoooo ooo, my future inlaws. Lagos State government should also revive Lagos festivals.

Proudly Ijebu. We are the best. We own 70% of Lagos from Ikorodu to Epe down to the whole of Lekki /Ibeju Lekki. We are the dominant force in Shomolu up to Bariga and have a big stake in Surulere. Proudly Ijebu, Eweso dede ewen y’emi and bami

Dispute it now. Alakori Egbere.
If Igbos were to say this 25 flustered replies would have ensued. LMAO!
El Rufai left Kaduna to go and rock Ojude Oba. Was he clued on with what went on there? Ajala travellers as governors.
If you heard his speech, he said the Awujale is a father to him who supported him in the past financially and with wise counsel. Seriake Dickson matrilineal side is Ijebu
Love the display of native attires especially those fan like geles.
Yoruba can dress for life. This Ojude Oba has so grown. People travel from all over the world just to come participate.
Ijebu people, una try
That’s beautiful
Beautiful people.
This is the problem with Nigeria; FCMB supporting a useless celebration. When banks should be driving investments in the downstream of oil, energy, agriculture and agro-industrial sectors. We don’t seem to have any insight into the problems plaguing Nigeria. Our education sector is a disgrace, the health sector is practically non-existent. Lets us dance and forget our sorrow joor…
Ojude Oba is not a useless ceremony it is to promote the culture of the Ijebus people from all over the world go home for this every year, it can be developed into a tourist destination.
hmmmm
