A recent video showing Yoruba activist Chief Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, visiting celebrity tailor Seyi Vodi's showroom in Abuja has sparked widespread controversy. The footage, shared by Seyi Vodi on social media, captures Igboho bowing repeatedly while greeting the fashion designer before exchanging handshakes, hugs, and smiles.
The Visit and Reactions
The video, recorded on Tuesday, June 9, 2026, shows Igboho and his team engaging in a relaxed conversation with Vodi. At the end of the clip, Igboho offered prayers for the tailor's success. However, the reason for the visit remains undisclosed as of this report.
The greeting style has divided opinions online. Some netizens criticized Seyi Vodi for not reciprocating the respect, given Igboho's age and status. One user, idaamublog, commented: "Igboho old pass ur papa and you no fit return the respect way he gave omo nawa o. Disrespect is not personality." Another, babsdbabs, wrote: "You allow igboho to bow down to you boda seyi? Haaaaa! Is well o Naso our culture be sha an elder can bow to a younger person."
However, some defended the interaction, citing Yoruba traditions where elders may bow to younger individuals in certain contexts. User deenbot3 noted: "Who else see the clocking," referring to Igboho's wristwatch, while legendroy_gadgetstore added: "Igboho is older than vodi but Yoruba thought us a very unique way of greeting each other."
Previous Events
In related news, Igboho recently appeared at MC Oluomo's first wife's birthday in Lagos alongside Fuji musician King Wasiu Ayinde Marshall, where netizens observed Igboho's watch and Marshall's necklace bearing President Bola Tinubu's image.
Additionally, Seyi Vodi was involved in another incident where lawyer Deji Adeyanju rejected a cap with Tinubu's insignia offered by the tailor. Vodi later challenged Adeyanju on social media to collect multiple caps.
