Posted on June 8, 2025

Technology company, Globacom, on Friday evening in Ijebu Ode, Ogun State, gave an indication of what to expect in this year’s Ojude Oba festival with a spectacular night of entertainment featuring Commander Ebenezer Obey Fabiyi and king of Fuji music, Wasiu Ayinde Marshall.

This year’s Ojude Oba marks the 20th anniversary of Globacom’s sponsorship of the festival.

The company’s support for the cultural festival has not only made it a tourist destination but also helped put it in contention to be declared an international heritage event.

The event which was called an “Evening with Glo “, was a night of fun, splendid music, good cuisine and rib-cracking jokes from comedians Gbenga Adeyinka, Bash and performance by social media influencer, Kiekie.

For more than two hours, the legendary Ebenezer Obey Fabiyi sang from his repertoire of music to which the audience which filled the Conference Hall venue to the brim, vibed and mimed.

Globacom explained that the “Evening with Glo” was organised to thank the Ijebu community for their support for the brand for 20 years of its sponsorship of Ojude Oba festival.

“We decided to bring together great sons and daughters of Ijebuland to celebrate our shared heritage, and indulge in the melodious rhythms that resonate deeply throughout Yorubaland”, the company stated.

Speaking on its choice of musicians for the event, Glo added that  “the  ageless icon and Juju music maestro, Chief Commander Ebenezer Obey, has contributed decades of good, sonorous and philosophical songs to our society. His songs are still as fresh and full of inspirational messages as they were yesterday”.

On KWAM 1, the company disclosed “For decades, King of Fuji, K1 De Ultimate, the Fuji master, has been a great part of the music firmament in Nigeria, with his unique brand of Fuji that has elicited huge interest”.

Eminent sons and daughters of  Ijebuland including the Olori of Oba Awujale, Chief Mrs. Olukemi Adetona; the Coordinator of Ojude Oba Festival Planning Committee, Professor Fassy Yusuff, and member of the committee and Iyalode of Ijebuland, Chief Mrs. Bisi Osibogun, attended the event.
