Yoruba monarchs, the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, and the Alaafin of Oyo, Abimbola Akeem Owoade I, have left people talking over their display at a party in Lagos.

Legit.ng recalls reporting that the Ooni and Alaafin were among the prominent figures who attended businessman Baba Ijebu's 90th birthday party in Lagos.

A video captured the moment the two kings, alongside some dignitaries, gave a speech at Baba Ijebu's birthday.

The highlight was, however, the moment the Ooni of Ife passed the microphone to the Alaafin of Oyo, whose aide swiftly wrapped it with a ‘handkerchief’ before he used it.

The display between the two kings has quickly turned into a debate on social media as netizens shared their observations.

In related news, Legit.ng reported that the Alaafin of Oyo reiterated that contrary to media reports, he was not in a supremacy battle with any monarch either in Yorubaland or anywhere in the world.

This was after the Alaafin had asked Ogunwusi to reverse the title of Okanlomo of Yorubaland as conferred on businessman Dotun Sanusi within 48 hours.

But reacting via a Facebook post on Tuesday, August 19, Ooni's spokesperson, Moses Olafare, said his principal instructed him not to issue an official statement in response to the Alaafin.

The video of the Ooni of Ife and the Alaafin at Baba Ijebu's 90th birthday party is below:
