This is an outstanding video. I love it!!! Great way to showcase the culture and boost the local economy, especially all that are involved in making the traditional outfits from the materials to the tailors
Thank you so much for all your outstanding pictures of the aunties, uncles, daddies. The colors, asooke, the dance , bringing out the ojude oba to limelight. Good job 👏
That's my hometown, Ijebu ode! Did you think they were joking when they said "Kekere Ijebu, owo ni; agba Ijebu; owo ni"? Ijebu for show! Well done, Niyi 🙌🏾💯
Na this kain camera china dey use to capture our hearts with their historical movies . God bless you indeed for this. I just subscribed This is beautiful
Points missed: 1. Ijebu's usually save up and display their best attires on Ojude Oba Day. 2. Every family in Ijebu-Ode celebrates Ojude-Oba, regardless of their religion. 3. The Ojude-Oba festival used to be held at Awuje's palace. Not sure when it moved to the Ihebu-Ode Township Stadium. 4. After the public gathering families usually hold parties on the night of Ojude-Oba. 5. Ileya does not only happen in June. 6. There are similar extravagant Yoruba celebrations with similar funfair like the Kayo-Kayo in Epe that happens on the same day. Wonder why everyone is just paying attention, Ojude Oba has always being colorful.
They created jobs in Nigeria by buying those made-in -Nigeria dresses, and their tailors made money. Multiplier effect in action. Those taking billions to hajj are depressing the Nigerian economy.
@@projectfiles1722 Preamble: like Fela said, we take our money to "juba" pope, bishop and 'imam' for tourism in supposedly 'holy lands. Mansa Musa did about 600 years ago, and Mali hasn't recovered from it. Koko of the matter: the money that should have been invested in Nigeria is taken out of the economy to spend in foreign countries as tourists in search for God who didn't create any religion. God is everywhere not only in Jerusalem, Rome or Saudi Arabia. It's 'kolomentality' to go and seek other people's god. Olodumare is the Yoruba God. Allah is for Arabs. Any god with shrine is an idol. Olodumare does not have a shrine or symbol. Olodumare lives in us. Hence, we don't need to go anywhere to worship Olodumare.
I am Ijebu on every side but left 9ja decades ago and do not get to home often. Ojude Oba is nostalgic for me and I just watch and watch and watch clips over again and don't stop reading the comments all appreciative of my culture. I pray our politicians can just get it right.
I've been attending the ojudeoba festival since I was a child and I'm so happy that the world gets to see how so much beauty and colour can radiate from a small town like Ijebu ode. Proudly Ijebu Omo alare❤❤❤
This is how Yoruba dress. Yoruba women are not supposed to be covered from head to toe in hijab or niqab. They are not Arabs. Preserve Yoruba culture and heritage.
I have just visited Lake Natron in June 2024. It was not Green like this video depicts. It was a dry dusty desert. Our guide suggested we visit at 8 am we did and though there were pelicans there they were next to no flamingos. Apparently the flamingos fly about 5 am in the morning in the half dark, to ngororo crater, so if you want to see flamingo in daytime, look at ngoro crater. Lake natron is worth seeing because of the volcano, and the rivers of lava that have flowed from it, as well as human footprints in the lava that are thousands of years old. But don’t look for green plant surroundings in the dry season, and there were no flamingos in June.
