The Olojo festival presented a veritable avenue to showcase the rich culture of Ile-Ife and the Yoruba nation.
The event proper was held on Saturday, with the Ooni wearing the “Aare crown” a day after leaving seclusion to Oke-Mogun in Ile-Ife.
The monarch used the occasion to offer prayers for citizens, Ife Kingdom, state and entire Nigeria. Thousands of people and Yoruba race from various communities in Nigeria and Diaspora stormed Ile-Ife to celebrate the festival with the Yoruba paramount ruler.
