Vice Chancellor, UNIBEN
Prof. Lilian Salami, Vice Chancellor of the University of Benin, had a backslash for breaking protocol when she led the management team of the institution to pay homage to the Benin monarch, His Royal Majesty, Omo N' Oba N' Edo, Uku Akpolokpolor, Oba Ewuare II, Oba of Benin during the Igue-Ewere (Ugie) cultural festival at the Oba palace in Benin.
All appear to be well until the daughter of Benin kingdom knelt down, raised up her hands over her shoulders and tilted the upper part of her body as she robbed her two palms together in obeisance before the King.
She was however reprimanded for missing the point while His Royal Majesty, Oba Ewuare II who was adorned in a complete Ceremonial regalia and a dark pair of goggle, held his Ancient Divining Staff with his left hand without making any comment.
But some of his Chiefs, frowned at the ‘disrespectful exchange between the VC and the Benin throne as other guests and the palace functionaries who were present at the event, giggle at her behaviour.
The palace however sent an emissary (Ukoh) in Edo Language, to Prof. Salami, requesting her to bear full responsibility for her action before the end of the session.
Igue festival which was meant to renew his magical powers, decree blessing on the land and his subject, began during the reign of Oba Ewuare during the Celebration of a bountiful harvest for families — Benin Royals and the Benin nation at large several years ago
