A lot happened to me at Ojude Oba 2025, but I never gave up. I knew I had so many women looking up to me, and a whole crowd that came just to see me ride.
At one point, someone grabbed onto my horse to keep them from falling, and it completely tore my under-belt, which was already loose from all the sweat. The heat was intense. I nearly passed out several times while waiting for my family’s turn to enter the Pavilion.
But the moment I approached the gate and heard “Princess Adesile” echoing from every corner… I knew I couldn’t give up.
This time, I didn’t just want to look pretty, I wanted to show the world that women can do way more than just that.
So I rode into the Pavilion without an under-belt, reared multiple times, and still gave a powerful display.
At the end of it all, I gave my best, and I left a message that will never be forgotten.
