In a video clip posted on the social media which is currently going viral, the Oba of Lagos state was seen refusing to stand up or share the Ooni of Ife.
Oba of Lagos publicly snubs the "GREAT OONI OF IFE". Baale snubs a KING!!!! Unacceptable in YORUBA tradition!!!!!!.
During his entrance into what seem to be an event, the guests at the venue stood up, a tradition which is practiced in Nigeria and by Yoruba people, to great the Ooni of the Ife kindom which is regarded the supreme among all the Obas and kind in the Yoruba tribe, the Oba of Lagos, Oba Rilwan Akiolu refused to stand up, and when the Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, who was greeting the Obas according to their set came to him, he instead waved at him looking other side, a sign showing he is not interested in his greeting.
After the video went viral on the social media, Nigerians has reacted swiftly to the action, calling it disrespecting to the Ooni and to the tradions of Yoruba Land.
Oba of Lagos should not get it twisted... Ooni is bigger than all the Lagos obas put together! Forget the person; that's Yoruba Oba rep.
The palace of both the Ooni and the Oba are yet to comment on this development.
