There are claims by some Nigerians that the fur worn by Yemi Cregx on his agbada during the opening night of the 9th edition of the Africa Magic Viewers' Choice Awards (AMVCA) signifies his alleged membership in the Ogboni society.
During the cultural event, Yemi Cregx received accolades for being the best-dressed male with his stunning outfit. His crimson-red agbada was adorned with a matching fur on his shoulders, and he accessorized with beaded accessories to enhance his overall look.
The cultural event marked the beginning of a series of activities leading up to the award show, which is scheduled to take place in Lagos on May 20.
According to comments shared by some Nigerians, the fur worn by Yemi Cregx is believed to be a symbolic representation of his alleged Ogboni membership.
The Ogboni society, also known as Osugbo among the Ijèbú people, is a fraternal institution deeply rooted in the Yoruba-speaking regions of Nigeria, the Republic of Bénin, Togo, as well as among the Edo people. The society holds significant political and religious roles, exerting influence on monarchs and serving as high courts in matters of serious crimes.
Members of the Ogboni society are generally regarded as part of the nobility in the various Yoruba kingdoms of West Africa.
Here are some of the comments expressing the alleged connection between Yemi Cregx's fur and his Ogboni membership:
