Kabiyesi is one of the most respected royal fathers in the country and one of the most revered by the Yorubas. A fearless, straight to the point king, who says it as he sees it.
The Ijebus are known all over the world to love celebrations of all kinds, it is said that their love for partying and merry making is one trait that distinguishes them from others. Every year, they make a show of their love, affection, trust and loyalty of their king openly at the Ojude Oba, it is always a spectacular show or event to see annually. So on this particular occasion when their most loved king clocked 80 years old, they didn't hesitate to roll out the drums.
