Top Yoruba traditional rulers speaking foreign language at such event is an aberration. What's wrong with speaking in Yoruba language?

We are tired of all these already.

But of them should leave us alone please and stop this petty show of superiority. We don't actually care who's superior between them.

I don't want to abuse them. They should just stop being in the news for the wrong reasons and have some shame.

Always seeing things where there's nothing and blind to where there's something.

The craze for content and madness be like our Presido and Amala.

Exactly 💯 what I wanted to type too

Too petty

Not matured at all... What am I even saying, how old is he... Think this position should come with wisdom and he clearly lacks it
Brother.. Age define not maturity .
Hes just one of those sp..oilt bra..ts from the Royal family.. just like Oluwo too .
This is someone that wants to waive the traditional rights because hes a Christian.
Imagine that ..
No be by force to be king, the Afobajes should stop disgracing our throne by giving us these type of people abeg

These people like taking panador for other people's headaches.
How is he even so sure of what transpired?
The news all over the places was that of unity and brotherly love at the occasion but the badnews couriers still found a way to input their negative imaginations into it.

Is it compulsory they must attend the same events?

I think the former ones always try to avoid going to same events hence the less drama

It's high time that the duo are called to order by kingmakers because of their continued childish and embarrassing behaviour towards each other.

If not for anything but for their highly revered roles as the custodians of the Yoruba culture and tradition.

As frontline omoluabis, they ought to exercise decorum and carriage, especially in public.

This superiority contest is quite unnecessary.

They must stop washing their dirty linens in public.

They must see themselves as role models of not just the people of their individual kingdoms but the Yoruba nation as a whole.

This is one embarrassment too many!

This is very unnecessary.
Handing the mic to Alaafin wasn't a disrespect by the Ooni. The man is left-handed and feels more comfortable handling things with his left hand.
He even writes with his left hand.
Also, I see the action of the Alaafin as a mere precaution. I have a colleague who doesn't even handle a mic during official events.
I believe this isn't the first time the Alaafin will be wrapping a mic before using it. That's why his aide was there ready with the handkerchief.
As usual, bloggers just want to make something out of nothing.
As I have said above we know he is left handed but as a custodian of culture and tradition, he should be aware of his condition and also the significance of the left hand in yoruba culture.

Unnecessary drama. Ooni is a lefty. He uses his left hand to write or eat if you had ever gone close to him. The Alaafin shouldn't take offense

Too bad, the hate that they use to drag people from South East to come and slave in Yoruba land.

Was the Ooni guy right to pass on the mic to him with his left hand?

This Ooni has no royal bearing and no class whatsoever.

Like I said the Alaafin needs to calm down, All I see is that he's trying to feel superior, not excluding what the Ooni did by passing the Mic with his left hand which is disrespectful also

In the past our forefathers who occupied this position never meddled in frivolous act such as what we see today, infact they barely leave their respective palace.

What changed, does our traditional institute no longer as powerful as it were?

"Lead" and "head" don't mean the same thing.
