Not everyone is allowed to salute the Oba of Benin the same way 👑 In our culture, how you greet the king says a lot about who you are. From chiefs to citizens, men to women, every gesture carries meaning. Let’s keep our traditions alive. Big thanks to Timeless Luxury official sponsor of my McCarthy Beach adventure! #teddytheexplorer #obaofbenin #tradition #salutations #greetings #culture #oba #beninkingdom #crownprince #benincity #edostate #timelessluxury #obapalace #chiefs #ancient #ancienthis
