Yesterday, waves of congratulations were in order as veteran Nollywood actor and respected culture custodian Prince Jide Kosoko was officially declared the Oloja-elect of Ilu Eko by the King Kosoko family.
The announcement, which honours both lineage and legacy, marks a significant moment for the Kosoko royal household and the historic kingdom of Lagos.
Widely admired for his decades-long contribution to Nigerian cinema and his consistent advocacy for Yoruba culture and tradition, Jide Kosoko’s emergence was received with pride by fans, colleagues, and cultural enthusiasts alike.
