It is not a hidden fact that Ijebu Ode, a bustling town in Ogun State, is where the pulse of tradition beat strong, and with only a few days to the Ojude Oba festival and Ileya (Salah) celebrations, one does not need to be told that the city is ready and its people are prepared for one of the biggest festivals in Nigeria.
Ojude Oba venue transformed into a colourful haven
The Arcade, built by Globacom’s founder, Mike Adenuga, is set to host the highly anticipated festival, and the venue is undergoing a stunning transformation. As the big day approaches, the space is being adorned with vibrant decorations, courtesy of Globacom and other sponsors.
Upon visiting the Arcade, one was met with a sea of green, the signature color of Globacom, which has taken over the venue. The elaborate decorations, featuring the headline sponsor’s branding, are a testament to the company’s commitment to supporting the cultural heritage of Ijebu Ode.
With only two days left until the festival, the atmosphere is electric. The venue is buzzing with activity as workers scramble to put the finishing touches on the decorations. The excitement is palpable, and it’s clear that the people of Ijebu Ode are ready to celebrate their rich cultural heritage in style.
The festival promises to be an unforgettable experience, with the beautifully decorated Arcade serving as the perfect backdrop for the festivities. As the town comes together to honour their tradition, one thing is certain – this year’s celebration will be one for the books.
