    In a display of cultural flair, Farooq Oreagba, a businessman and cultural enthusiast, has been named an Honorary Ambassador for the National Council for Arts and Culture (NCAC) following his remarkable appearance at the 2024 Ojude Oba Festival.

    Oreagba’s striking outfit, featuring a flamboyant green and yellow Aso Oke Agbada, red coral beads, and a gold crossbody chain, made him the highlight of the festival.

    His grand entrance on horseback, adorned with bold tattoos, a large tobacco pipe, an Apple wristwatch, and stylish sunglasses, earned him the title of the “King of Steeze.”

    Despite a decade-long battle with terminal cancer, Oreagba has remained a beacon of positivity and inspiration to many.

    His recognition by NCAC is a testament to his unwavering dedication to promoting Nigerian culture and heritage.

    Obi Asika, Director-General of NCAC, praised Oreagba’s contributions, saying, “He represents all that is good about Nigeria… a true Nigerian original!”

    Oreagba’s honour is a fitting tribute to his tireless efforts in showcasing the beauty of Nigerian culture to the world.

    Obi on Instagram wrote: “I could not be happier to announce him as an Hon Ambassador for the National Council for Arts and Culture @ncac_nigeria and celebrate him and his boundless energy and spirit.

    “He is now the King of Steeze and brought global attention to #OjudeOba the key traditional festival of Ijebu Ode celebrating the Awujale.

    “For at least the last decade he has been getting on his horse, dressed in magnificent asoke and representing his family and culture.

    “We discussed what made this year different and why the reaction, was it the photographer, was it the festival or was it just God’s time, I believe it was just meant to be.

    “My brother is a fighter, diagnosed with terminal cancer he has been fighting it for a decade and never been anything but positive. He has been an inspiration to we his friends and now we are sharing him with the world.”

    “He represents all that is good about Nigeria, pls celebrate him, a true Nigerian original!

    “I know he is braver than almost anyone I know from the way he confronts his pain and has always repped naija since I have known him, Congrats again and thanks for all you do.”
