The person who captioned that photo has issues. The photo shows Ooni getting up from his seat to greet Saraki who had already walked up to him to say hello or whatever. Ooni perhaps out of respect didn't want to leave Saraki's hand hanging, shook Saraki's hand while getting up from his seat to properly greet him.

It is not a photo of Ooni bowing to Saraki rather, it is a photo of Ooni getting up from his seat to greet Saraki who probably out if respect for the crown, walked all the way from his own seat to greet the king.

The man just dey fall odiba people hand left , right and centre

So he got up to great him

You seems to mistake humility for stupidity

ozoemenaca:
Oni of Ife is a humble man and nobody would take that away from him, Other custodians of traditional institution every where should be able to learn from him, more so, I believe God choosed him and raised him to that exalted office so its left for you jobless ones to go ahead and criticize yourself and not the King. Long life Kabiyesi

Agbaletu:
It's like the Ooni's stool is bigger than the current occupier. The same revere Oonirinsa will be in the Church. Ooni should start seeing himself as an Oracle and not an ordinary person.

Convert him to an oracle now.

I now know that the Oba of Bini is superior!

The holy Qur'an.

Oh, Ok!

So the Holy Qur'an lives inside a career-felon like Bukola Saraki. No wonder Northern Nigeria is in shambles

The next Gov can remove the ooni and put his own person as it is in Nigeria today. Dasuki was removed in Sokoto.

SP position is bigger than any traditional stool in nigeria.

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.

LOL! LIKE SERIOUSLY, THE GUY NO DEY TRY AT ALL... THIS ONE NO BE HUMILITY AGAIN, NA MUMUNITY. HE NO EVEN REALISE SAY HE IS NEXT TO THE GODS IN THE LAND OF LIVIVG 'ALASE IGBAKEJI ORISA. MUMU! I NO EVEN KNOW THE PERSON WEY CARRY CROWN DASH DIS ONE SEF. HIN DEY REASON AGE (ORDINARY NUMBERS OF YEARS WEY HE DON USE FOR LIFE), HE NO REASON THE HONOUR ATTACHED TO THAT CROWN ON HIS HEAD AT ALL. THAT CROWN IS BIGGER THAN THE COMBINATION OF OSIBANJO AND SARAKI WEY HIN DEY DULL FOR!

Humility

if you look at the picture very well, you will see that ooni was seated already before saraki came in, and there is no way the person sitting down won't look like he's bowing to the person standing when shaking hands. some people will comment without thinking, al kitaab koo; al kundus nii

Tobycharles:
You all got it wrong, he was about Standing when the shot was taken

And what the HELL is he standing up for? Haba! This ¥eye guy man should be dethroned immediately to save the Yoruba nation enbalrrssment .

I just weak, if we are to do things by age then it means I suppose to handshake him as his age no even old pass mine but the mumu go expect me to prostrate for him. NEVER!

QueenOfNepal:
Nonsense. If he has to bow for every Muslim there then the Ooni will develop hunchback because of the amount of people he will have to bow to

;;;;;;;;u jst murder me with laff nw, lol;;;;;;;;;;hunchback ke;;;;;;;;;

Not in yoruba land unless you are a 3rd rate Oba.

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.

thunder fire al kitaab!!!

e no go better for al kitaab!!!

THIS CHIBUZOR MONIKER THO!

That's what happens when small pikin wear shoe wey big pass am

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

Ooni should not be standing to greet anybody. In fact, he should not be shaking anybody hands...he is initiated into many secret orders and does not need to shake hand with just anybody.

Where is Oba Akiolu to come give his input abeg?

GOD BLESS OBA AKIOLU OF LAGOS!!!!!!

GOD BLESS OBA AKIOLU OF LAGOS!!!!!!

Real 1st class Oba wey no dey take nonsense!!

THIS CHIBUZOR MONIKER THO!

I wo fin ye si le!

why would people start commenting without using their senses, how would a person standing and a person sitting down greet and they will be on the same level? al kitaab koo; al qundus ni

If ooni read this onah comment here as onah they advice, the man go wicked pass lion, this why i do tins in my way witout listening to forks, if the man didnt greet like dis nw, d headline will be "ooni snub d senate president, saraki" and onah go come here dey bashh am say im take revenge on another person instead of oba of lagos, DO TINS IN OWN WAY AND LEAVE D REST FOR GOSSIPER TO MAKE U MORE RELEVANT.

No be d same ooni marry third hand wife? The man is a complete low life boot licker.

no be lie, he is not fit to be a king

It's nothing bro.... the pix isn't what the generality have termed it to be. Obviously the senate president walked in as dignitaries, including the monarch, were seated. The camera snapped as the monarch was standing up to the hand shake. It's self evident and nothing untoward of the monarch.

let him come to Benin and learn what it is to be an Oba ... Omo n' oba gha to kpere Isee!!!

Definitely not TRUMP

madridguy:
See it again and also on his inauguration day when his wife want to get up with annoyance.

stop saying what u don't know...Trump never bowed for any King....As a matter of fact l, the king of Saudi Arabia was happy very happy to see him and came personally to the airport to welcome Trump, despite the fact that the king is not too strong physically. He even shook hands with Melania and I took Muslim men don't shake hands with other women
