The Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu, at a public gathering not specified, ignored the greeting of the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi Ojaja II.
The video which lasted for 27 seconds, shows the Ooni of Ife arriving the venue of an event, where he exchanged plesantries with the Obi of Onitsha, Igwe Alfred Achebe.
Oba Ogunwusi spoke to Punch through the Director Media and Public Affairs, Ooni's Palace on Wednesday. "It is very unfortunate that the Oba of Lagos disgraced himself, not the highly respected Ooni of Ife..." "The Ooni of Ife no matter his age is a superior Oba to all other obas..."
Christian Eriksen Seals Crucial Win for Tottenham Over Crystal Palace
Palace , with six wins in their previous eight matches, had matched Spurs until they lost defender Mamadou Sakho to injury. But with time running down, Eriksen collected Harry Kane's pass and lashed a powerful drive inside the far post.
Mr. Tunde also said that the Oba of Lagos risked the wrath of the "Alale"(Ancestors), as a result of his disrespect for the superior monarch. "He still holds Oba Akiolu in high esteem and what happened yesterday will not stop the Ooni from holding him in high esteem".
The incident, however, sparked outrage on social media as several Nigerians condemned Oba Akiolu, describing his action as unbecoming of a Yoruba monarch.
"If we don't receive an apology especially with the image of Ile-Ife, we will call on the ancestors on the issue", he said.
