The 2024 Ojude Oba Festival took place on June 18 in Ijebu Ode, Ogun State, drawing numerous notable and influential Ijebu natives dressed in vibrant attire.


Hosted annually by the Awujale of Ijebuland, Oba Sikiru Adetona, Nigeria’s longest-serving monarch, the festival is known for its display of cultural heritage and fashion. This year’s event was no exception, featuring various groups of men and women in distinctive outfits, all vying for attention.


A standout feature of this year’s festival was the array of high-end eyeglasses worn by participants. Social media influencer Akintiollgate, who styles himself as the “Sunglasses Baron,” identified several luxurious brands among the attendees, including Louis Vuitton, Versace, Vintage Cartier, Miu Miu, Cartier Panthos, and Salvatore Ferragamo. According to Akintiollgate, some of these designer glasses cost as much as $1,800 (approximately N2.7 million), with the least expensive pair priced around $200 (N300,000 at the current exchange rate).

The lavish display of eyewear and fashion at the Ojude Oba Festival comes amid widespread economic hardship in Nigeria, prompting many to express disbelief and criticism on social media. The festival’s opulence, highlighted by the expensive accessories, sparked a conversation about the contrast between the celebration’s extravagance and the economic struggles faced by many Nigerians screaming “Ebin pawa.”


Despite the economic challenges, the Ojude Oba Festival remains a significant cultural event, showcasing the rich traditions and unity of the Ijebu people. The event’s blend of heritage and contemporary flair continues to attract attention and admiration both locally and internationally.
