This year’s Ojude Oba Festival dazzled with elegance, vibrant displays, and cultural showcases, but it also had its fair share of drama.
A viral video from the event captured a heated exchange between a young Nigerian woman, dubbed a “Gen Z baddie,” and an elderly man. The video, widely shared on social media, shows the young lady firmly accusing the man and threatening legal action for defamation, while he responded in an inaudible tone. Although the exact cause of the dispute remains unclear, the clip has fueled conversations across social media platforms.
Reactions online ranged from amusement to outrage, with many questioning whether such confrontations should take place in a revered cultural festival like Ojude Oba. Some commentators criticized the young woman’s approach, while others speculated that traditional values are clashing with modern attitudes in Nigeria’s youth culture.
Aside from the drama, top Nigerian celebrities such as Ibrahim Chatta, Lateef Adedimeji, Femi Branch, and Lil Kesh were present at the festival, adding glitz and glamour to the annual event in Ijebu Ode, Ogun State.
