Ooni of Ife conduct at Davido’s wedding was unbecoming of a Yoruba royal king—-Nigerians react

The Ooni of Ife’s presence at Davido and Chioma’s Chivido wedding has drawn a negative reaction on social media.

An X user, De’Otunba, slammed the Yoruba monarch’s conduct at the star-studded event, reports Legit.ng.

De’Otunba’s observation about the Ooni of Ife at Davido and Chioma’s wedding triggered online reactions.

Nigerian celebrity couple David Adeleke Davido and Chioma Ejiofor’s wedding and the Ooni of Ife Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi’s presence at the occasion are making headlines for interesting reasons.

Legit.ng had earlier reported that the Yoruba monarch was captured on video the moment he stepped into the packed venue filled with VIP guests.

However, shortly after the news of the Ooni’s attendance at Chivido 2024 went viral, an X user, De’Otunba took to his page to condemn the monarch’s actions.

The tweep described the Oba Ogunwusi’s conduct at the wedding as a show of shame while asking if it was possible to recall a king…. According to him, the monarch was the one going around to greet people at the event.

According to De’Otunba, he misses the late Ooni of Ife, Oba Sijuade. He wrote:

“Is it possible to recall a king?? I am just asking because this is just a show of shamè from a crowned king! Kabiyesi is now the one greeting people: He’s even the one going to shake them. I miss Late Oba Sijuade…God abeg o”

In a subsequent post, De’General noted that he wasn’t against the Ooni of Ife attending the wedding but was against how he greeted people like a ‘guy man’.

He tweeted:

“Ah una don change am o…..For context I said he was seen exchanging pleasantries like “Guy man” I am not against him attending Davido’s wedding o…..The king was meant to be seated and all guests paying homage to the Great Orisa!!!!”
