Popular Nigerian Fuji musicians, Wasiu Ayinde Marshal, popularly known as KWAM 1, and Malaika, alongside singer Jesse King, are among the artistes billed to headline the second edition of the Ikorodu-Oga Fanti Carnival.
The carnival, scheduled for Saturday, November 14, 2026, will take place at the Ikorodu Ultra-Modern Town Hall, Lagos State, as part of activities marking the annual Ikorodu-Oga Festival.
Other artistes expected to perform at the event include Barry Jhay, Atawewe and Slimcase, among others.
The carnival will feature cultural displays, traditional processions, music and dance by the three major traditional quarters in Ikorodu: Aga Parapo, Ijomu Parapo and Isele Alaro United.
The participating quarters are expected to showcase their cultural identities through colourful costumes and coordinated processions, with Aga Parapo scheduled to commence at noon, followed by Ijomu Parapo at 1pm and Isele Alaro United at 2pm.
The event is organised under the auspices of the Ikorodu-Oga Development Association (IKODASS) as part of efforts to promote the community’s cultural heritage and encourage wider participation in the annual festival.
The second edition builds on the maiden carnival held in 2025, with organisers seeking to expand its reach and strengthen Ikorodu’s cultural tourism profile.
