Where ever you see Ijebu People, you see people proud of their rich heritage characterized by festivities and celebrations. It is widely believed that the Ijebu love to party and spend lavishly especially if you are fortunate enough to have done something to make them happy or found their favour. There are two major festivals in Ijebu land - the Ojude Oba and the Alagemo festivals. the two festivals are annual festivities the Ijebus look out for every year.
The Ojude-Oba is a rich display of the Ijebu culture in honour of their king and the event often features over 50,000 descendants, well-wishers and tourists in attendance. Ojude-Oba’s endless list of merriment activities include group dances, horse-ride and colourful apparel displays, gunshot salutations and gift presentations in honour of the paramount ruler of Ijebuland, currently Oba Sikiru Kayode Adetona Ogbagba 11th.
The history of the event goes back to almost a century ago when the first Muslim converts felt it was befitting to visit the Awujale and expressed their gratitude to him for permitting them to practice their religion. The exuberant event, which also pays tribute to veterans and descendants of war heroes, is held in an arcade center mapped out in sections for eminent personalities, traditional rulers, government representatives and indigenes of diverse age groups adorned with a vast array of colorful traditional outfits.
