This years Ojude Oba which is the festival the Ijebus used to mark the end of a Muslim event – I hope, im correct- never comes and just goes
It hits with a different kind of camaraderie, pulling the observer into a frenzy following the kalaeidoscopic colours that continue to enchant and mesmerise
The whole beauty of the festival makes you temporarily forget the desolate infrastructure and the mass poverty that pervades that land keeping you entranced with the beauty of the culture with the attendant pride of its indegenes
Their king of steaze, Farooq Oreagba who gained National prominence from just one shot taken by an unsung camera man never reluctant to preen as he continues to milk the essence of the festival for his personal aggradisement readily jumps on his malnourished horse to take us on a ride this year
Many have asked why the festival, seeing that despite their brilliance, the Ijebus have not been able to deliver a king on their highly revered throne while others have also wondered why when school kids are still being tortured in bushes in nearby Oyo
No matter what, the fun loving Ijebus would not miss an opportunity to once again gift the world its unique beauty
For me, the real heroes of this festival are the wonderfully gifted content creators – photographers, short film makers and the like who capture very succinctly the magnificent beauty of the festival and throw those images to the world
They are the heroes who remain unsung, underappreciated and never mentioned unlike Mr Farooq who isnt a very brilliant horse rider judging on his mounting and dismounting skills but ever ready to pull the spotlight and capture all the available corporate endorsement for himself.
This year, he was hugely sponsored by FCMB and Airtel and he did his best to reward them with whatever benefits they must have agreed-he sha carried the FCMB flag as he wobbled along on his tired and bored horse
Thankfully, this year, his antics were eclipsed by a goddess
Light skinned , deep penetrative eyes, well placed make up and a demure arrogance that warms ice complete with a huge ciger and smoke that emanates from sensous lips and a swag that pushes you away but pulls you in at the same time
This lady was this years champion. The cameras captured her full essence.
Her confidence, her immortal beauty – although beginning to show initial wear and tear and her full breast nestled in some expensive bra but jutting out enough to make you salivate
This woman stole hearts with her puffing, her dreamy eyes cascading through the crowd in an – I no send una- posture
Kai, I died and like millions on social media became entranced
Attention immediately shifted from Mr Farooq and his exhausting ensemble – over sized costumes, huge beads, over sized boots that made him look and walk like ‘Pussy in the Boots, and his malnourished and not well kept cheap horse to this hot MILF- like vixen who stole the show
Mbok who is this hot ‘wife’, who is this sultry Eve whose smoke has captured the imagination of the world snatching the festival from the hands of dimpled faced Farooq who was already boring us with his antics
Maybe the Ijebus have finally found their ‘king’ and it doesn’t matter that she is a cigar chomping female what matters is that in that moment in time, she held history with her smoke
A MILF has come to town, her ensemble gleaming with ostentatious pride, her smooth lithe lips offering heaven and her smirk attracting admirers which she brushes off with sexy smoke oosing out of that wonderful mouth
Send me that Ijebu Queen and let us crown her.
The Ijebus need not look any further- this is their new Monarch – a new Queen of steaze.
Come and beat me
Duke of Shomolu

Hmmmmmmmmn!
Once again, The Duke Of Shomolu has a way of magnifying a very basic story to mean the whole world to his audience. He has successfully shifted our focus away from Mr Farooq to welcome a new Paragon Of Beauty (POB) of Ijebu Land. Come next year, I hope Her Margesty’s horse would be well-fed. Otherwise, Duke of Shomolu would be coming for her head too.
A nice piece of work as always. Many thanks for giving us contents to chew.
