False Headline

False Headline by Daily Post on Ojude Oba

 

The daily Post newspaper a well established and popular newspaper in Nigeria carried a news on their online portal Daily post online with an headline Regal Festivities: Goldberg Lights up Ojude Oba 2024 in Iperu. The truth is the Ojude Oba is celebrated in all ijebu and Demo towns of Ogun state, it’s the third day of the Ileya festival, so the Muslims do usually get into their best dress to pay homage to the King in his palace. The Baloguns of most town that are Muslim will go on their well decorated horse with a lot of funfair and crowd too in their colorful Aso Ebi, on such day food is plentiful in most houses as its that day that most Muslims will welcome visitors into their house. 

The celebration are done in towns Luke Ijebu Ode, Sagamu, Ikenne Remo, Iperu Remo, Ijebu Igbo, Ilissan Remo Ode Remo, Ode Lemo and many other towns ijebu and Remo. In all this the celebration in Ijebu Ode is the most glamorous as it had much crow and more colorful.

But the headline carried by Daily Post is misleading as it indicated Iperu but the storyline and visuals are that of Ijebu Ode.  Can we call this a printer error or what.

Meanwhile below are the visuals from the Ojude Oba festival in Ijebu Ode
