Being a king in Nigeria, one is never supposed to wear modern clothes again, but only ancient traditional regalia. However the Oluwo of Iwoland, Oba Abdul Rasheed Adewale Akanbi, who grew up in the US believes an African king should be free to wear modern fashions, and no matter what traditionalists say, he hasn’t changed his mind. See what he wore when he went watch shopping in a Gucci shop recently.

I think Oba Abulrasheed Adewale Akanbi is just trying to modernize kingship, in as much as he seasons his decisions with experience and his experiences provide him with practical wisdom: the knowledge of how to do the right thing at the right time and for the right reasons, his dress code shouldn’t be a problem.
It’s good to see positive changes, we mustn’t dwell in archaic system of practice.
