[VIDEO] Nigerians React To Oba Of Lagos ‘Publicly Humiliating’ Ooni Of Ife
A video is trending online that is causing outrage as it shows the Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu deliberately ignoring the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye at a public event.
The Oba of Lagos and other royal fathers were already seated at the occasion when the Ooni walked into the hall.
“@AfroVII: The Oba of Lagos publicly humiliating the Ooni of Ife. Why? What happened? pic.twitter.com/kG9MqAGUv3” This is sad, very immature

The Ooni proceded to greet the royal fathers present and when he turned to greet the Lagos Monarch, the Oba just waved away Ooni greeting, looking on like nothing happened.
This has angered many Nigerians and they took to twitter to express their displeasure.

Whatever is between Oni of Ife and Oba of Lagos, they will resolve it. It is not in your place to drag any of them. Have some respect.

Mention 5 top monarchs in Yorubaland, you won’t call Oba of Lagos because he is a Baale ++.

But the Oba of Lagos shouldn’t have done that. Not excusable.
