Boyooosa:
THIS OONI SEF, HE JUST DEY FALL MY HAND. SMALL TYM NOW, PPLE GO DEY CLAMOUR FOR YOUTH TO RULE, NA ONE YOUNG RULER DEY DO LIKE OLOBE... SHAME! ANYWAY, HE IS NOT ALAKE OF EGBA SHA, I THANK GOD FOR THAT.

omenka:
Not sure but I think the Ooni goofed on this one.

He should understand the enormity of the office he occupies. If he had shaken hands this way with another First Class traditional ruler MUCH OLDER than himself, no biggie.. ..but to a politician just about his peer with a very sordid image. ..nah.

ihimiray:
This yeye Oba just dey fall hand, na so the other dey he allow Adeboye sit on top he chair...

tee83:


With time, he will. Same thing that happened when Awujale of Ijebuland was a teenger. Imagine 21 years old Oba then.

Amarabae:
we are not in monarcharial system of government.
Saraki is far above him in ranking, he is the no.3 citizen on the country.
Obama bowed to King of Saudi Arabia because they practised a loosed emirate shaped monacharial system of government.
Btw the Ooni should not be seen at every event, he will become so common to people.
You don't see the Oba of Benin in an event, he comes out just few times.
People visit him, He does not visit.
No wonder, the Benin monarchy attracts respect.

austinosita:
This a simply humility.

You guys will not understand it!

Oni is a simple man......and he doesn't allow his position becloud his person!

jjjjj2017:

You dey mind that small yahoo boy made king?
The idiot ascend the throne with the assistance of APC abracadabra, no thanks to those corrupt kingmakers.

frenzyduchess:
Well i know my oba can't do such, oba ghator kpere!

OgaBuhari:
will you get out?

Can't you see that saraki is greater than the Ooni and allafin and even Oba by virtue of his office.

All these Yoloba slaves sef. TUFIAKWA

madridguy:
Even as anti-Saraki, I think people should stop complaining about this cos what's inside Saraki is bigger than any oracle. Al Kitaab is bigger than any oracle and reason why you hardly see ilorin people prostrate or bow for any king.

Same thing happened to every American President when they visit Saudi Arabia. You must bow.
You nailed it.

Dotwillis1:
This is what happen when you make an "ajebutter" a king

And they claim the ooni is bigger than the great Oba of Benin. I tell you what, the ooni will prostrate with his belly flat on the floor if he comes before our great Oba of Benin Empire. Oba ghator pkere!! Itse!!!

abhosts:
That image is deceptive.

Ooni was standing up to greet him. He was not bowing down.

oduastates:
Definitely not worthy of a king.
I am talking about the guy and not the act.
Most of the obas in yorubaland are not kings.
No grooming or preparation for the post.

WeShallSee:
Ooni was sitting,
Saraki had just arrived; standing.

Both of them used their two hands to greet..Out of respect for their offices.

Ooni represents the people of Ife (or by extension; the Yorubas)
Saraki represents all the 109 representatives of Nigeria.

Let's keep our sentiments aside, many of you here will bow down to greet saraki if you were ever opportuned.

In this particular scenario, the Ooni held his stool high by remaining seated.



What more do you want ??

Besides, for people like Ooni and co whose stools are for life, a great deal of humility is required or else they earn the wrath of God as time goes by. It's not easy to be a leader for life.

Deal with that. #WeShallSee
