‘Accord me with same respect’ Female monarch compares self with Ooni of Ife, admonishes followers

Her Royal Majesty Tinuade Babalola, the regent of Iboropa Akoko in Ondo state has taken to her official Instagram page to warn the people disrespecting her position.

A regent is a person appointed to govern a state temporarily because the regnant monarch is absent, abdicated the throne, is incapacitated, or dead. HRM Tinuade became the regent of her community in 2015 after the death of her father.

Meanwhile, it seemed like some people are not respecting her royalty as her recent post on social media stated that people go to her DM asking for a video call.

Warning such people, HRM Tinuade said that nobody should come to ask her for a video call.

According to her, people should come to the palace to see her just like they go to the palace of Ooni of Ife or any other king to see him.

She said:

“Don’t come to my DM requesting for a video call!!! Same way you go and visit Ooni or any other king is the same way you should come to my palace if you need to see me! Send a DM or better still, send a letter via my email address on my page.”
