The Ooni of Ife, Enitan Ogunwusi, made his first appearance in a comedy skit alongside a famous comedian, Debo Adedayo, popularly known as Mr Macaroni.
The two-minute clip released on Saturday has gone viral with a range of reactions from social media users.
It has been confirmed that Mr. Adedayo visited the Ooni Palace in Ile-Ife earlier this week in the company of some movie stars.
It is believed that the comedian took the opportunity to introduce the traditional ruler and some of the palace officers to the new skit.
In the video, Mr. Ogunwusi urged Yorubas not to forsake the practice of reverence for elders synonymous with kneeling and prostrating.
“All over the world Yorubas still prostrate and kneel down,” he said. “When you see your elders, you must respect them not to talk of the presence of your king.”
Mr Ogunwusi, a pan-africanist, has on several occasions preached on the preservation of Yoruba cultural values and heritage.
