Man rocks Yoruba attire to school prom
The videographer, @ab3nimi, captured the moment, showing the student’s cream-coloured Agbada, paired with a matching cap, and giving off the image of a wealthy Yoruba prince.
As the camera moved across the gathering, the difference between the man’s outfit and the formal attire of his classmates was so visible.
While his fellow students opted for traditional British prom wear, the young man’s Agbada attire set him apart.
His partner in the video complemented him perfectly, and together they exuded an air of sophistication, uniqueness and poise.
Some people even joked that the pair resembled a royal couple, with the other students serving as their escorts.
