This year’s Ojude Oba Festival has again broken the internet with steeze-worthy pictures and videos of colourful outfit displays and horse-riding.

But one thing caught our attention even when serving looks, the “Yoruba mummy” face comes through. We have evidence.

The face she makes when you say something stupid, but she’s giving you the chance to right your wrongs.
