[00:01:50]>> For many students, Ojo de la so is a chance to express themselves. Through every [music] outfit, color, and detail, culture becomes a reflection of identity, pride, and personal expression.

[00:02:05]>> So, when I hear Ojude, I know Ojude is about culture.

[00:02:10]So, because I heard of Ojude before I I heard of Ojude from now before you did Ojude last last year. And this year, I'm also here.

[00:02:19]>> The first thing that came to my mind was like I was like, "Ah, I have to attend this thing and I have to see how it is and experience culture." That was the first thing that came to my mind.

[00:02:27]>> Okay, I they they did the first version last year, but I wasn't able to attend too. When I heard Ojude last year was back, [music] I had it in mind that I was going to attend. I must come for this one. And I'm I have [music] to be here. So, yeah, I am.

[00:02:42]>> We have to represent our faculty tradition is out here again.

[00:02:46]Let the music of tradition >> Okay, so I'm a media person, like I said, I'm Ayomiku Pixel.

[00:02:54]Um last year, I was here just to capture images, but this year, I'm here to style and also style like I'm here to tell people's story and also tell my story through my outfit.

[00:03:07]>> Okay, my outfit will tell a lot about me, but in short, it speaks culture. I just want to look like the culture. Like I want my my outfit to speak about the culture. That is why you're seeing bead on my neck. Even though all this is speaking culture.

[00:03:20]>> Of course, I'm the biology of FSAS. So, my outfit is supposed to be speaking for me.

[00:03:25]>> Doesn't say much. Just says I'm a typical Yoruba girl. As my name says, Oluwadamola, and a Yoruba girl to the core, putting on my bubba and a short [music] skirt that has bead on it.

[00:03:45]>> [music] >> Beyond the celebration, events like this create opportunities for students to connect [music] with their heritage, appreciate diversity, and strengthen the sense of community within the university.

[00:03:59]>> [music] >> Yeah, so from the I checked my mom's wardrobe and our cupboard, yeah.

[00:04:10]Those olden outfits are so good. And when I see those they are thrown about, I'll be like I feel I picture myself in it. So, if I see the opportunity of doing something like that, why don't I just style it in a modern way? This is me wearing this, but in a modern style.

[00:04:26]So, that's it.

[00:04:27]>> The reason I think they should is because they should not forget their roots, and they should always know that their state culture and culture do exist. Because many people are not being taught about culture anymore. Many students are just about modern days, European life, and that.

[00:04:42]>> Of course they should.

[00:04:43]I'm a I'm a I'm a sociologist. So, we have to bring the old memories and related to the new environment.

[00:04:51]So, that is how I keep going.

[00:04:53]>> It has been It has been culture has been part of us from the start.

[00:04:58]>> [music] >> It's still It has been still in us by our parents, so it should not be something that we just take off. So, it has [music] to still It has to continue. It has to go on. So, >> Well, so we are all Nigerians, and we must represent who we are.

[00:05:15]Not representing ourselves ordinarily, because when you talk about Africa or Nigeria, they just see us like that we don't have something to represent. When everybody is there wearing jeans and everything, cargo pants and all. But this is me wearing Nigerian outfit, styling it in a modern way. So, everybody should model Nigeria. They should tell Nigeria They should tell their culture.

[00:05:38]To see me like this, you know I'm a Yoruba man. Wearing my cap like this, a young, single man.

[00:05:44]I'm searching, guys.

[00:05:45]>> It tells the fact that students we have the mindset to want to show up when it comes to culture. They want to think about culture. They will still want to be like, "Ah, culture do exist."

[00:05:55]>> As you'll be seeing other people's video, everybody is putting on beautiful attires, and it has a great impact on them. It shows that yes, culture is still on. Everybody is still very still value culture.

[00:06:10]>> forget your tradition.

[00:06:15]>> [music and singing] [singing] [music] [singing] [music] [music] [singing] [music] [music] >> As cultures are shared and traditions embraced, a new generation is reminded of the importance of preserving its roots >> [music] >> and carrying its heritage proudly into the future.

[00:07:08]>> [music] >> Everybody still take culture as something very important, and they want to partake in it. They want to be part of culture, so it's feels nice.

[00:07:23]>> It makes me feel good. It makes me feel like, "Wow, our parents are trying. Our parents does not neglect that." I think if our parents neglected that, we will not be able to participate in this in this kind of thing now as a student of LASU.

[00:07:38]>> Definitely, they are going to remember that at a time they all had to dress, come out [music] in their best attire, and they would think of it as they were able to represent their culture very well.

[00:07:50]>> They should remember that this still taught them about culture. This makes them remember culture, and they should also remember the fact that it is very, very interesting. I hope so.

[00:08:06]>> As the celebration comes to an end, the spirit of the >> [music] >> Udiro festival lives on in every story shared, every tradition embraced, and every culture proudly represented.

[00:08:16]Because culture is more than a moment.

[00:08:18]It is a legacy passed from one generation to the next.
