Ireland based registered Nurse and Vlogger, Summer Akü has made a video post which seems to be disrespectful to the Oba of Benin Kingdom and Edolites in general.
The Vlogger who is in on vacation in Nigeria visited Edo State, where she claims to have lived as a child . In a video posted on her YouTube channel, Ms Akü can be seen having a conversation with the driver of a commercial taxi.
During the course of their conversation, the driver talked about the Oba of Benin kingdom getting married to whoever catches his eye.
The commercial taxi driver also talked about the physical attributes of women he fancies.
Although the video was a quite distasteful to watch, the caption of the video is what raises concerns.
“Oba of Benin will marry Sunmer Aku” was the title of the video with an image cover of His Majesty, Oba Ewuare of Benin Kingdom picmixed with that of Summer Aku.
This is not the first time visitors to Edo State have made disrespectful remarks against the Edo people.
It should be recalled that in 2022, Nigeria’s famous transgender and internet sensation, İdris Okuneye Olarenwaju, better known as Bobrisky, while attending an event in Edo State made a similar remark.
The cross dresser upon arrival in the state made a video, calling on the Oba of Benin to come marry her.
“Oba Ewuare, Bobrisky is in Benin.Come and marry me”, she said at the time .
TMO has made attempt to reach out to Ms Aku for the caption on the video be changed and the picture of the reverend Benin monarch be removed.
