Aminat Obirere Faces Criticism for Ifa Festival Performance
Islamic singer Aminat Obirere performed at the 2026 Odun Ifa Festival, which celebrated the heritage and spiritual significance of the Ifa culture. The festival was hosted by the families of High Chief Ayoola Adeyiolaifa, the Oluna of Omode Egbaland, at Olunla Villa, Balogun Quarters, Owode Egba, Ogun State.
During her performance, captured in a video, Obirere was dressed in a flowing robe and sang one of her popular songs. However, her appearance at the festival drew criticism, particularly from some members of the Muslim community.
Critics expressed their displeasure on social media, questioning the stance of Muslims who condemn music yet support an Islamic singer at an event associated with Ifa tradition. This incident has reignited discussions about the relationship between religious identity and participation in traditional cultural events.
