Ojude oba festival is a traditional festival that holds yearly in Ijebu Ode on the third day after Eid al-Kabir celebration.
The festival which began about 100 years ago is known to always showcase the yoruba culture and tradition.
The festival this year welcomed a baby girl from one of the attendees. The woman known as Mrs Ayanlola Abibat was said to be heavily pregnant but still attended the event.
In the course of the event, she fell into labour which drew a lot of attention to her.

According to Vanguard's source; “It was a few minutes to 1:00 p.m. when I heard a lady shouting not too far away but many ignored her. “No one knew the magnitude of what the woman was going through until she started crying with all of her strength. “All I saw was the head of her baby and other women immediately rallied around her to help. “A few skilled Traditional Birth Attendants came to her aid and assisted her to deliver the baby, just as onlookers prayed in their mother tongue, while some traditionalists chanted incantations” .
Thankfully, there was a medical ambulance present at the event and on ground was the Ogun state Commissioner for Health, Dr. Babatunde Ipaye who immediately joined the medical team to ensure the safety of the child and mother as they were immediately taken to Ogun state hospital, Ijebu Ode for further care of the baby and mother.
The baby girl was, however, named as Fathima Adetona Amosun. This name is a combination of the name of the governor and that of the paramount ruler of Ijebu Ode, Oba Sikiru Adetona
Dr Ipaye visited the State Hospital, Ijebu Ode to deliver a gift from the Governor to the new mother,. He confirmed that the mother and child are in sound health.
Congratulations to the new mother.
