A new video has emerged on Nigerian social media showing the current Oba of Lagos, His Highness Oba Rilwan Akiolu shooting his shot at a presenter during an interview on live TV.

While many find it funny and hilarious, others find it totally repulsive.

Everyone seems to find that video with the Oba of Lagos hilarious but it makes me cringe. I mean he kept making inappropriate sexual jokes about the woman on Live TV. There's something off about that part of the conversation.

Seriously? You mean I can shoot my shot like the Oba of Lagos did recently? ?

It’s interesting most of you find this funny?. Such a shame a girl has to be so harassed while at her duty post! And Ofcourse the power play and need to keep her job ensured she could only laugh lest she gets mad! Shameless man. People’s husband and father!?

You ladies are just becoming unnecessarily sensitive... any form of joke is harassment, common where is your sense of humour? Abeg take a chilled coke and relax

How relaxed would U be if that was your wife?

— Toksman (@ogbuefitoks) July 7, 2018

I will be relaxed... Cos one, it was obviously a joke and on Tv for pete sake... It wasnt like it was in a closed space... secondly, even if he wasnt on Tv or wasnt joking, your wife will definitely attract guys and they will ask her out... so, will i kill myself over insecurity?

Extremely ?
Poor thing sat there giggling and hoping hubby doesn’t get upset when he sees this.
She had to giggle guys.
She had to.

Sure. Amusing to watch. I know the feeling. You'll assume they'ld drop the act and stop pestering you once you both have company or the camera starts rolling.
But, Hell No!
You'll just have to suck it up and fake smile through the whole thing while silently seething.

Sad truth. Most ladies have at least one such experience. Esp when your work requires constant interaction with other humans.

I used to work in TV & I can tell you that a man (TV staff or guest) that doesn't flirt with women is the exception.

This is not funny. These old disrespectful "leaders" are part of the reason why Nigeria is so backward. No respect for the woman or her husband. I hope the younger generation will not be like this with all these comments I am seeing here
