US based Nollywood Actress, Georgina Onuoha, just shared this powerful message of how, despite tradition and his position, the Ooni of Ife still had to stand while his wife sat in this photo.
Read Onuoha’s message below:
“With all his glory as the most respected King in Yoruba land and Nigeria as a whole.. Yet the Ooni of Ife understood the place of his queen.. The one who makes him happy, the one who alone has the power to his stomach.. This portrait symbolizes so much grace and humility even in power.. I hope all of our kids boys and girls will take a closer look at this portrait and understand the true meaning of love, respect and humility regardless of how highly placed we our in our given society and the power and authority we hold or represent. Treat one another with respect and love.. A woman completes her man only when she is given her due place of honor. ??
Proudly Nigerian ??”
