Isreal DMW, personal aide to music star Davido, has sparked reactions online after sharing a post that appears to rank two prominent traditional rulers — the Oba of Benin and the Ooni of Ife — in terms of perceived superiority.
Taking to his Instagram page, Israel posted photos of President Bola Tinubu with both monarchs. He noted that the President showed greater respect during his meeting with the Oba of Benin compared to his audience with the Ooni of Ife.
In the shared post, Israel subtly praised the Oba of Benin’s stature and influence, suggesting his superiority through the body language and demeanor displayed by the President during their encounter.
While Israel did not directly explain his comparison, the implication of the post drew mixed reactions from fans and followers, with some supporting his stance and others calling for caution when addressing issues concerning traditional rulers.
