Farooq Oreagba, the man who stole hearts at last year’s Ojude Oba Festival, is back — and once again, he’s owning the spotlight like no other.
With his bold fashion sense, calm confidence, and unique presence, Oreagba showed up at the 2025 edition of the festival and reminded everyone why he’s still the King of Steeze — a slang word that simply means “cool, stylish, and confident all in one.”
Last year, social media went wild after photos and videos of him on horseback flooded the internet. Dressed in a bright green agbada with lemon accents, coral beads around his neck, luxury shades on his face, a gold chain across his chest, and a cigar between his lips — Oreagba didn’t just wear clothes, he made a statement.
That powerful image turned him into a style icon overnight. He became the unexpected face of Ojude Oba 2024, with many calling him the “Man of the Moment.”
Now, in 2025, he’s returned to the festival with the same energy — dressed to impress, riding tall on his horse, and wearing his culture with pride. His outfit mixed elegance and edge once again, proving that style is not just about fashion but about owning who you are.
Social media platforms like Instagram and X (formerly Twitter) were filled with praise. “King of Steeze,” many called him, a title he’s clearly earned with his signature cool and confidence.
But Oreagba’s story goes beyond fashion.
Born in July 1966 in Ijebu-Ode, he has overcome serious battles in life. In 2014, he was diagnosed with two types of cancer — bone and skin — but he didn’t let that stop him. After treatment and years of strength and healing, he was declared cancer-free in 2017.
A well-educated man, he studied engineering at Coventry University and earned a diploma in business and finance from the University of East London. He’s had a long, successful career in finance, working in top positions both in Nigeria and abroad. Today, he’s the Managing Director of NG Clearing Limited.
