Ibadan, the city of warriors, scholars, and trailblazers, is about to write another golden chapter in its proud history. On Friday, 26th September, 2025, at Liberty Stadium by 6 PM, the people of Ibadan will gather to witness the coronation of the 44th Olubadan, His Imperial Majesty, Oba Rasheed Adewolu Ladoja.
For Ibadan, this is more than a royal ceremony, it is a moment of unity and celebration for a people whose resilience and spirit have always defined them. The Olubadan’s throne is not just a seat of power; it is the living soul of Ibadan, symbolising leadership, tradition, and the strength of community that has carried the city from its founding days into the present.

Whether you live in the heart of Ibadan or far beyond, this moment calls every Ibadan indigene home, to celebrate, to rejoice, and to stand tall in pride.
As part of the celebrations, Goldberg Lager Beer, a brand that shares deep ties with the culture and traditions of Yorubaland, is proud to walk hand in hand with the people of Ibadan.
