A Political Science Graduate of the Olabisi Onabanjo University
currently undergoing the National Youth Service Corp (NYSC) programme in
Ibadan, Mosunmola Omotayo, has been crowned as the 2019 Miss Ojude Oba.
She defeated eight other contestants in a competition where all
the participants made three appearances in traditional, casual and dinner
wears. They were rated for their elocution, poise and comportment in the keenly
contested beauty pageant.
The dark and tall 25 year-old queen is an entrepreneur in
catering and event planning.
A 300-level student of English Education at the Obafemi Awolowo
University, Ile Ife, Imisioluwa Jesutofunmi Jinadu, emerged as first runner-up
while 20 year-old Funmilade Fanadez Osoteku was adjudged as the second
runner-up.
Earlier, up and coming artistes raised the curtain with
scintillating performances directed by resourceful MC Bash complemented by
melodious tunes mixed by DJ Tops. Ola Flow won the rap battle while Tunde
Olorioko and Teju Adeyemi won smartphones in the Dance Competition for male and
female categories respectively.

Lady drummer, Ayanfola and her 15-people ensemble, serenaded the
audience with delightful tunes from the talking drum (gangan). She meandered
from folklore Ijebu songs to contemporary tracks, compelling the audience to
bring out their phone cameras to record the unique performance.
Lil Kesh perfroming |
Lil'Kesh revved up the musical show with sundry popular
tunes enthusiastically chorused by the lively crowd of attendees who came to
round off their Ileya festivities with sublime fun. His performance was a
master class as he engaged the audience intermittently and indulged the people
with his rich repertoire of songs including Shoki and Able God.
Obesere performing |
The Asiwaju of Fuji popularly addressed as "African Michael
Jackson", Alhaji Abass Akande Obesere and his beautiful dancers
closed the musical show with a big bang. He spent considerable time to remind
the crowd that Glo is the best network as he dished out melodious and
'funkified' songs that sent the crowd into a frenzy. Dressed in a combo of green
and white to show his affinity for the Nigerian national colours and Globacom's
colours, Obesere and his Glo-branded band members, sent the crowd into an
ecstasy of musical pleasure.
The attendees commended Globacom for the well choreographed
musical show, adding that the event capped the eventful and bubbly 2019 Ileya
festival celebrations for them.
