Nigerians online are talking about a recent video of the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, and his palace guards, which has left many puzzled.

As the Ooni approached his designated location, he was surrounded by his royal guards, all dressed in sparkling white native clothing, who formed a tight protective circle around him. 

This perfectly choreographed performance ignited the question of whether they were shielding him from other attendees as he lowered himself to take a seat only inches away from another king.

The video that made the rounds on TikTok wrote:

“Is it truly a taboo for ordinary people to witness the king attempting to take a seat?”.

Watch the video below:

The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, recently celebrated his 50th birthday in style, and his daughter was also in attendance.

A video made the rounds showing the young princess at the star-studded occasion, drawing the attention of many.

In the clip posted on Instagram by @Goldmynevibes and spotted by TheTalk.NG, the young princess was rocking a lovely gold dress with silver stoned details on the bodice.

She paired the look with a matching turban wrapped around her head an red coral beads around her neck and wrists.

However, what stood out the most was the young princess’ poise and composure as she sat regally at the party. The Ooni’s daughter had a small smile on her face that lit up her whole appearance.

Ooni names new prince

Meanwhile, TheTalk.NG reported that the Ooni of Ife and one of his queens, Olori Ashley Folashade, have named their newborn prince.

On Ooni’s official Instagram page, a video from the child’s extravagant naming ceremony was posted, with the prince’s names being announced in the audio.

Some of the names listed are Adebiyi, Foladade and Adewale, among others.
