Just a King trying to solidarise with resourceful youths and also using the opportunity to promote culture. A King!— Premier (@SodiqTade) July 18, 2020

Before some "woke twitter" delegates starts coming for ooni of Ife for featuring on a comedy skit.
it is 100% right for a traditional ruler to promote the culture of his people in whichever way it suits him being the custodian of our culture. Which is what the ooni has done.
