King of steeze returns: Farooq Oreagba steals show again at Ojude Oba 2025

Farooq Oreagba, the charismatic cancer survivor who became the unexpected star of the 2024 Ojude Oba Festival, has done it again.

This year, he returned with the same effortless steeze and magnetic presence that once set the internet on fire, reclaiming his unofficial crown as the festival’s undisputed style icon.

Last year, Oreagba rode into global attention on a majestic, decorated horse, adorned in a striking green and lemon agbada, paired with coral beads, a gold crossbody chain, designer shades, and an Apple watch.

A cigar nestled between his lips, tattoos peeking from his sleeves, he wasn’t just dressed, he was declaring

That moment sealed him as “The Man of the Day,” and the face of Ojude Oba 2024.

This year, the businessman and Managing Director of NG Clearing Limited didn’t just show up, he arrived.

Once again on horseback, Oreagba blended elegance with edge, his fashion choices speaking volumes about confidence, identity, and cultural pride.
