Ojude Oba 2024: Meet most-talked-about man at festival, Farooq Oreagba

The recently held 2024 Ojude Oba festival has drawn the attention of many netizens, including the Gen Z crowd, on social media.

This is mostly because of the rich culture on display at the festival and the fashionable elderly Nigerians who represented the Yoruba culture well, one of them being managing director and CEO Farooq Oreagba.

The Ojude Oba festival takes place yearly in Ijebu Ode, a few days after the Muslim Sallah celebrations. Even though the festival used to be celebrated only by Muslims, it has transcended religion and has become one of the most widely accepted events in the country.

Several photos from the occasion took over the Nigerian social media space on June 18, 2024, but one man, Farooq Oreagba, stood out over what people referred to as ‘steeze’. Steeze is a slang used to describe a person who is effortlessly stylish and Oreagba fit the bill for many Nigerians.

A series of photos and videos of Farooq Oreagba made the rounds online, and he particularly stood out for his ability to rock a rich traditional outfit with a touch of modernity that had people drooling.

Oreagba wore a green and lemon ‘agbada and shokoto’ outfit paired with a matching cap. He complemented the look with red coral beads around his neck and a crossbody gold chain on his torso.

In one particular video that trended, he was spotted riding on a decorated horse with lovely tattoos on his arms in full display while also smoking a cigar.

This seemed to impress many young Nigerians as they praised his steeze. Others were also curious to know who he was, and a quick social media search revealed that Farooq Oreagba is an investment professional and the managing director and CEO of NG Clearing Limited. He was also the former head of the Nigerian Stock Exchange Consult.
