In this episode of So This Happened, we discussed the 2024 Ojude Oba festival in Ogun State, Nigeria, which was a celebration of culture, fashion, and resilience. The event, which honours the Awujale and paramount ruler of Ijebuland, Oba Sikiru Adetona, featured stunning aso-oke outfits, horse-riding competitions, and cultural performances.
We also discussed a new report which revealed that nearly two-thirds of Nigerian professionals and three-quarters of Ghanaian professionals are willing to work abroad, with English-speaking countries with strong economies being the top destinations, posing a risk of brain drain in Nigeria.
Lastly we reviewed how Binance, the crypto giant, was fined $2.25 million by India’s Financial Intelligence Unit for violating the country’s Prevention of Money Laundering Act, marking another legal issue for the company, which is already facing allegations of money laundering and tax evasion in Nigeria.
