Ooni of Ife Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi is currently trending on Twitter after featuring social media sensation Debo Adebayo popularly known as Mr. Macaroni in a skit.
This is coming days after the comedian alongside ex-Big Brother Naija housemate Seyi Awolowo met the revered monarch at his Palace.
In the new skit, the monarch was seen advising Nigerians not to shun the culture of showing respect to elders which includes prostrating or kneeling for elders.
However, many Nigerians who were impressed with the king’s humility took to social media to praise him for the kind gesture.
See king, the Ooni of Ife (kabiyesi) dey feature for skit, tell some unknown people with small change to help you push your brand they will start forming shit. Dey overrate themselves.
HUMILITY is a virtue even in wealth.

Before some "woke twitter" delegates starts coming for ooni of Ife for featuring on a comedy skit.
it is 100% right for a traditional ruler to promote the culture of his people in whichever way it suits him being the custodian of our culture. Which is what the ooni has done.
