- The actor’s humble gesture has stirred up singer Ayra Starr’s handshake experience with King Sunny Ade
Nollywood actor Dele Odule has warmed hearts with his display of respect for veteran Juju singer Ebenezer Obey.
An old video from an event in Ibadan, Oyo state, recently resurfaced on social media, and it has left people talking about Ayra Starr’s experience with King Sunny Ade.
62 year old Dele Odule was seen falling flat on stage to pay obeisance to an elderly Ebenezer Obey.
After rising to his feet, Odule, who posed for pictures with the Juju musician, placed a bundle of cash beside the 82 year old Obey and left the stage.
Recall when 21 year old Ayra Starr met 77 year old King Sunny Ade, she gave him an handshake, which led to series of criticism. See video of Dele Odule prostrating for Ebenezer Obey and reactions to it:
tunisky: “The skimpy skirt girl AYRA STARR left the comment section.”
Roughdiamond_04: “All na eye service, if he was richer he won’t prostrate the way he just did.”
yinkz_01: “Normally, if person senior you with 5yrs and above, d way and manner you tend to respect them ehn…. Although that was then not in this dispensation where a 19yrs old girl stretches her hand to shake a 70yrs old man and uncles him uncle in the long run.”
eboadeleke: “After all the respect he still dropped something for elder’s welfare. Anyone who does this in our culture will benefit from the blessings of our forefathers and will definitely go far.”
TheKayodeBadmus: “Dele Odule is in his mid 60s and one of the seniors in Yoruba Nollywood yet he understands that eni aba laba ni baba. Chief Commander is 82.”
drealhorllar: “We should be blaming our modern day parents.”
