This is how the Oni of Ife enters his Car. For those who asked why the Oni enters like that...from research... the monarch tradition requires that the Oni does not bow his head for anyone. So in the process of entering his car... he would bend his head (which is considered as bowing) and that is why his head is always covered... the same also happens in some monarchs in the northern and other parts of Nigeria. #oniofife #nigeria #travel #foryou #explore #lagos #ife | Theniyifagbemi
