Olamide Channels Timeless Elegance at Ojude Oba 2025 in Versace Sunglasses from Merger Optical

The Ojude Oba Festival is always a spectacle of beauty, pride, and heritage—but this year, one man’s effortless style caught the eye of many in Ijebu Ode.

Olusanya Olamide, entrepreneur and founder of luxury eyewear brand Merger Optical, arrived at the 2025 edition of the festival in a look that married cultural tradition with modern sophistication.

Dressed in a richly embroidered agbada, Olamide brought a sense of quiet confidence to the occasion.

But it was his choice of accessory—a striking pair of Versace sunglasses, gold-detailed and polished—that added a sharp, contemporary touch to his regal ensemble.

More than just eyewear, the glasses reflected his deep appreciation for detail and his eye for globally inspired style rooted in African identity.

The Versace piece was no coincidence—it came straight from his own brand, Merger Optical, a Lagos-based eyewear company known for sourcing premium frames from around the world.

Over the years, Merger Optical has earned a reputation among Nigeria’s elite for delivering tastefully bold, luxury eyewear that complements the country’s vibrant sense of fashion.

As the drummers played and age-grade regiments paraded in splendour, Olamide’s appearance quietly told a story: one of cultural pride that doesn’t resist modernity but walks confidently alongside it.

His look didn’t demand attention, but it earned admiration—a reminder that true style lies in intention, not volume.

In a festival that celebrates legacy, tradition, and personal expression, Olusanya Olamide stood tall—showing that the future of Nigerian fashion is not about choosing between heritage and luxury, but about finding new ways to honour both.
