Farooq Oreagba, who gained fame for his eye-catching attire during the 2024 Ojude Oba Festival, has been named an Honorary Ambassador by the National Council for Arts and Culture (NCAC).
Oreagba stood out at the celebration, dressed in a bright green and yellow traditional attire and riding a horse. His shot went viral, and people began to call him the “King of Steeze.”
Obi Asika, the leader of NCAC, disclosed this on Instagram, saying: “He represents all that is good about Nigeria, please celebrate him, a true Nigerian original!”
Asika also said that Oreagba has been battling cancer for eleven years but has always remained optimistic. He said, “My brother is a fighter, diagnosed with terminal cancer he has been fighting it for a decade and never been anything but positive.”
The Ojude Oba Festival is a significant cultural festival in Ijebu-Ode that honours the local king and celebrates Ijebu traditions.
Although many significant people attend, Oreagba’s distinct style and personal tale set him apart this year.
Oreagba previously worked at the Nigerian Stock Exchange but was forced to resign in 2014 after being stricken with cancer.
Following two years of treatment, he was confirmed cancer-free. He now operates a company named NG Clearing.
His appearance at the festival exemplified hope, bravery, and the strong Nigerian spirit.
The NCAC’s recognition honors not only his flair, but also his perseverance and depiction of Nigerian culture.
