Radiating royal swagger as he led the Balogun horsemen parade at Ojude Oba 2025:
Farooq Oreagba is celebrated as a Nigerian style icon often referred to as the “king of steeze” at events like Ojude Oba known for his elegantly bold ensembles and unwavering confidence.
When it comes to style, Farooq Oreagba never shows up halfway — and his appearance at this year’s Ojude Oba Festival was no exception. The man known for effortlessly blending tradition and flair delivered not one, but two distinct outfit changes, each more striking than the last.
His first entrance was regal and commanding: a flowing agbada in warm earth tones — layers of beige, brown, and hints of blue and gold embroidery formed a geometric tapestry across the fabric. With a matching cap, a finely crafted walking stick, and the dramatic flair of arriving on horseback, Farooq owned every eye in the arena.
But he wasn’t done.
A few hours later, he reappeared in a bold green and yellow agbada ensemble, bursting with life and intricately embroidered with organic, swirling motifs. The matching trousers and cap tied the look together, but it was the red coral beads, gold watch, and dark sunglasses that gave the outfit its unforgettable edge.
Farooq didn’t just attend the festival — he staged a masterclass in Yoruba royalty-inspired fashion, reminding everyone why he’s revered as a cultural icon of modern-day elegance.
Farooq Oreagba’s Ojude Oba 2025 appearance was nothing short of a cultural fashion triumph. He masterfully connected Yoruba heritage with contemporary confidence turning centuries old styles into unforgettable modern statements.
