“Prostrate for what? You kept me waiting 3 hours” — Sowore Sparks Buzz After Encounter With the Ooni of Ife


‎🔥 Sowore Throws Shade at Obas! 🔥
‎Human rights activist and ex-presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore just made it clear why he refuses to prostrate before traditional rulers—and it’s not disrespect, it’s principle! 💪
 
‎Speaking at a public event, Sowore shared a moment at a palace in Offa, where he was asked to follow Yoruba custom and prostrate. He said “Nope.” ✋ He believes respect should be mutual, not just demanded from ordinary citizens, while powerful politicians get royal treatment.
 
‎He didn’t hold back:
‎“Some Obas will stand up for Seyi Tinubu or other political heavyweights, but ask regular folks to prostrate. Why?”
‎Sowore added that cultural traditions shouldn’t force people to go against their convictions. His point? Respect isn’t a one-way street. ✨
 
‎The video clip from Sahara TV shows Sowore calmly defending his stance while also recalling how he handled opposition from local leaders using his student activism experience.
‎Reactions online are 🔥 mixed—some back his call for equality, others defend the customs.
 
‎💬 What do you think? Should respect be demanded equally from all, or are traditions non-negotiable?
