Indomie Celebrates Nigerian Culture at Ojude Oba and Ilorin Durbar Festivals

Nigeria’s favourite noodle brand, Indomie, reaffirmed its commitment to celebrating the nation’s rich cultural heritage through its participation in two of Nigeria’s iconic cultural festivals, the Ojude Oba Festival in Ogun State and the Ilorin Durbar in Kwara State.

Held on May 29, 2026, in Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State, the Ojude Oba Festival brought together thousands of attendees in a vibrant display of culture, fashion, horse riding, and community pride. As part of its efforts to root the brand in the culture of its consumers, Indomie supported some of the activities of the indigenous families participating in the festival and also had strong brand experiential presence at the festival. Indomie also had a children’s day celebration in partnership with one of the prestigious families, a day before the Ojude Oba. This further demonstrated its dedication to preserving and promoting love through Nigeria’s rich cultural traditions.

The brand’s presence at the festival underscored its longstanding connection with Nigerian families and communities, while celebrating the values, heritage, and unity that the Ojude Oba Festival represents.

Similarly, Indomie was prominently represented at the Ilorin Durbar Festival, held on May 28, 2026, in Ilorin, Kwara State. The historic event, renowned for its colourful procession of horsemen, regal displays, traditional attire, and cultural performances, served as another platform for the brand to celebrate Nigeria’s diverse cultural identity with its consumers.

Speaking on the significance of the brand’s participation in both festivals, Ebere Anajama, Regional Brand Manager, Indomie Noodles Nigeria, emphasised the importance of preserving cultural heritage and strengthening community bonds, as this is key for Indomie.

"As Brand Manager for South West region and overseeing Indomie's presence at both the Ojude Oba Festival and the Ilorin Durbar, it is important to reaffirm the brand's commitment to culture and genuine consumer connection. We believe culture is one of the most powerful expressions of identity and a meaningful lens through which consumers relate to the brands in their lives."

"Our involvement in these festivals is far more than visibility. It reflects our sincere alignment with the traditions, values, and lived experiences that matter to our consumers. As a brand, we are intentional about showing up at the moments that are most significant to our consumers. Celebrating and preserving the rich cultural heritage of the South West is not just something we support; it is something we are honoured to be a part of."

Also commenting on the initiative, Omotola Edien, Events and Experiential Lead, Indomie Noodles Nigeria, stated;

"Our presence at the Ojude Oba and Ilorin Durbar festivals was intentionally designed to go beyond brand visibility and create memorable experiences that resonated with the spirit of the celebrations."

"By participating in these culturally significant moments, we were able to engage families, communities, and consumers in ways that felt relevant, authentic, and impactful. At Indomie, we remain committed to creating experiences that celebrate our consumers, honour their traditions, and strengthen the emotional connection they have with our brand."

Through its support of both festivals, Indomie continues to strengthen its bond with Nigerians by championing cultural expressions that unite communities, preserve heritage, and inspire future generations.
