Olori Ashley's Traditional Greeting Sparks Online Debate

A video featuring Olori Folashade Ashley welcoming the Ooni of Ife back to the palace has generated significant online discussion regarding her behavior and its implications for life within a royal household. The footage, which circulated on Instagram on October 28, 2026, shows Ashley, who was already present with their son, Prince Ademakinwa Ogunwusi, performing a traditional prostration by lowering herself to her knees and bowing her head to the ground.

She also instructed Ademakinwa to prostrate before his father. After this greeting, Ashley lifted her son, and the Ooni took the boy from her, carrying him as the family prepared to enter the palace together.

The clip elicited strong reactions from viewers, many of whom commented on Ashley's awareness of palace dynamics and the significance of her actions within the royal context.
