In an era where cultures risk being diluted by globalization, Omolara Augustina Seweje, fondly known as Olori Seweje, stands tall as a luminous custodian of Yoruba heritage—projecting culture with elegance, intelligence, and unwavering passion across continents.
Based in the United Kingdom, Olori Seweje is a bilingual radio host, poet, spoken-word artist, and Ewi chanter, whose work transcends entertainment to become a powerful tool for cultural preservation, education, and unity. She is a cultural woman extraordinaire whose voice carries the rhythm, wisdom, and soul of Yoruba tradition to global audiences.
At the heart of her cultural advocacy is Eto Omoluabi, her widely respected Yoruba-language programme on Jambo Radio Scotland. Through this platform, Omolara celebrates the values, proverbs, language, and philosophy of the Yoruba people, inspiring Nigerians in the diaspora to reconnect with their roots while confidently engaging with the cultures around them. Eto Omoluabi has become more than a radio show—it is a cultural classroom, a home for heritage, and a bridge between generations.
Her passion for intercultural dialogue extends further through Culture Fusion on Heartsong Live Radio, where she thoughtfully explores and compares cultures from around the world. The programme highlights shared human values while honouring cultural uniqueness, reinforcing her belief that unity thrives best in diversity.
Beyond the airwaves, Olori Seweje’s poetry and spoken-word performances have graced notable stages across the United Kingdom, including the prestigious Black Scottish Awards stage. With poetic depth and traditional cadence, her performances evoke identity, resilience, and pride—leaving lasting impressions wherever she appears.
Yet, her impact reaches far beyond media and performance. Omolara is deeply committed to mentoring young ethnic minority children, guiding them to build confidence, leadership capacity, and a strong sense of self-worth. Through intentional mentorship, she empowers young minds to embrace their identity and pursue excellence, regardless of where they find themselves in the world.
Expanding her vision even further, Olori Seweje is currently co-founding an innovative global tourism platform, designed to simplify tourism experiences across borders. This forthcoming initiative, being developed with her team in the United Kingdom, reflects her dedication to cultural exchange, accessibility, and global connection.
Driven by purpose and guided by joy, Omolara Augustina Seweje continues to champion a world where cultures are not only respected but celebrated. She is a firm believer in preserving heritage while fostering mutual understanding—using every platform at her disposal to promote unity, dignity, and cultural pride across generations.
In recognition of her outstanding contributions to cultural promotion, media, mentorship, and global advocacy, Omolara Augustina Seweje (Olori Seweje) has been honoured with the Distinguished Nigerian Awards, powered by Elitist Magazine—an annual prestigious event held in commemoration of Nigeria’s Independence Anniversary. The award celebrates exceptional Nigerians across diverse disciplines, including medicine, law, education, and the creative industries.
For Olori Seweje, this honour is not just a recognition—it is a reaffirmation of a life devoted to culture, community, and global harmony. Her story is one of purpose, passion, and pride—a true embodiment of the Omoluabi spirit on the world stage.
