This question of whether Oba should stand up when elected politician walks in has been going on for a while.

The Story is that Bode Thomas never recovered when he tried and failed to get Alafin to stand up and failed.

Gbenga Daniel told Alake to come to his office and apologize.

The point remains that Yoruba do not take kindly to Oba standing up for politicians.

Abacha and others have dethroned Sultan and Emir.

Woke ridiculed Igbo traditional rulers in open gathering.

Lagosians did not like the way Tinubu or even Oba Eko disrespected Oni of Ife.

Suffice to say give respect when due.

Same OBJ knelt down for the Olu of Warri and prostrated for the Ooni of Ife when both were installed respectively.

He was praise as being a good respected of our culture then. We need to see the full version of the video to know and see what actually transpired. Releasing and circulating snippet isn’t justice.

I’ve never heard OBJ disrespecting our culture.

Since he has doubled down and even disown the wise apology of his estranged wife, are you still supporting the stubborn elder that should have known better?
