A video has captured the moment an Oyinbo (white) man tried to shake hands with the Olu of Warri.
In the viral video, the Oyinbo man’s attempt to walk up to the king was cut short by a man believed to be a chief.
He showed him the proper way he is to greet the king, which he did before he went back to his seat.
“POV: The white man was about to climb up to go greet the king yesterday before they showed him how to greet the king properly,” the video caption read.
The video sparked reactions from Nigerians who took to the comment section to share their thoughts.
