Davido Bows to Greet Okoya
After dancing briefly with his uncle, Davido noticed the billionaire and bowed to greet him. The moment that captured attention was Okoya appearing to turn to another man and ask in Yoruba, "Tani?" meaning "Who is this?" regarding Davido. Once informed, Okoya greeted the singer warmly.
Netizens React to the Encounter
Social media users shared diverse opinions on the incident. Many attributed Okoya's reaction to his advanced age rather than ignorance. User Mapo3028 commented, "Old age and it’s not easy keeping up with many people at that point." Another user, OgbeniRaji, countered, "People saying old age.. forgetting na those old people used to recognize people pass. He definitely don’t know him not until they told him he’s one of Adeleke’s son."
Akinwa8 questioned, "Okoya is sitting with Gov Adeleke why will he still be asking who Davido is?? One of his last Born is a musician so he’ll definitely know OBO." Meanwhile, olabayor suggested Okoya's question might have been about a prior conversation, not Davido. Frankiebunmi added, "He saw a rough, dressed, well brought up yoruba boy and again danced with the governor. It's enough reason to ask. Age get him own way."
