WORDLESS POST: TINUBU REMAIN SEATED WHILE GREETING OONIRISA

The manner in which Bola  Ahmed Tinubu , the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress greeted the Ooni of Ife, Oba Enitan Ogunwus,OJAJA II,at the coronation of the Oniru of Iruland , Oba Omogbolahan Lawal has been raising dust on social media .

In a video  which had gone viral , Tinubu had remained seated as he greeted the Ooni ,and Oniru were the only ones who remained seated as the Ooni made his way to his reserved seat at the event.

Yinka Odumakin , who is the spokesman for the pan -Yoruba group , Afenifere , said that the Tinubu should have stood up as a sign of respect for the first class monarch .

Odumakin said, “ We are still Yoruba people . With due respect to our royal fathers , we should not say because we are in a modern age , we should not give the proper respect that we give to our oba . You saw the time former President Obasanjo prostrated before the Ooni . So, it is still our culture and we must sustain our culture and give the respect that is due to our monarchs. ”

Former minister of Aviation , Femi Fani -Kayode ,Via his Twitter handle ;  said, “ That the Asiwaju of Bourdillon refused to stand up to greet the Ooni of Ife speaks volumes . This was not only deeply insulting to every Ife and indeed son and daughter of Odua but it is also a crying shame. Would a northern political leader refuse to stand up for his traditional ruler ?”

Retired Activist @ streetprince007 said , “ Tinubu is not a Yoruba man. A Yoruba man knows what to do . That ’s all I can say . ”

Mafe Sunday @mafe _ sunday said, “ For a typical Yoruba man to defend this disrespecting act shows that we are fast losing it , if Obasanjo , a former president and an older man than Tinubu , can prostrate before Ooni , he has no excuse not to prostrate. This is us, this is who we are, this is our culture , our identity. ”

DAVIDO THIS IS WRONG:AS HE THREW MONEY OUT FROM HIS CAR ROOF

This is wrong ! It was rains of money and excitement around Oshodi axis of Lagos State as  Nigerian singer, David Adedeji Adeleke AKA Davido,threw money out from his car roof top over the weekend.

Davido who has been on a break from social media for a while now, revealed this in a recent Instagram Live chat with Grammy Museum.

“In the early stage of my career, I was like a one-man-band. For my first single, I made the beat, and recorded the song myself. I mixed and mastered Dami duro myself.

When I was getting bigger, I could no longer do everything myself. Now, I have producers and songwriters who I work with. I now believe in collective efforts.

The business side of everything is important. Music is just about 30 or40 per cent. Going back to school helped me concentrate. Sometimes in life, you just have to sacrifice. It was something I had to do for my father.”
