Ojude Oba which represents "the King's fore-court or frontage" in Yoruba, could also be translated as “Majestic outing”. It was formerly a small gathering of the people of the Islamic religion which started over 100 years ago, when the earliest Muslim converts in Ijebu-Ode paid homage to the Awujale of Ijebu-land, showing their appreciation for granting them the liberty to practice and observe their religion. usually celebrated with Pomp and pageantry by about 1,000,000 people annually from different parts of the world and Nigeria, especially those from Yoruba origin and most especially by people of Ijebu descent all over the world.
As an Otunba, you should be ready to be part of the next Ojude Oba edition in your own ASO-OKE full agbada and beads. Your life will never remain the same again.

Well said
That is Ijebu culture. Ojude Oba is done at the 3rd day of Eid Kabir (Muslim big celebration when rams are slaughtered). It's been done for centuries.
Nothing like Abeokuta Yorubas....we are called Egbas,our homeland stretches from present day Abeokuta to Lagos.
The cloth they are putting on is called Aso Ebi
The fabric is Aso oke and when the same fabric is worn by family members (now used by friends of the family) it’s called Aso ebi - family wear.
The kind of fabric is Aso-Oke. When the same kind of fabric is worn by many people in the same event, it is called Aso- Ebi
Ojude Oba means the The Kings Party in his Court.
Next year sallah
K'are omo Igbomina!
Tinba r'omo Igbomina, mori ara'le mi ni.
