On Friday, May 5, 2023, Nigerian social media influencer Adeoluwa Enioluwa shared his own version of a famous photo from 1977 featuring former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo and former US President Jimmy Carter.
Enioluwa recreated the picture and posted it on his social media accounts, wearing a blue Yoruba Aso-Oke and referring to himself as a king.
It's worth noting that Enioluwa did not take his photo at the White House and was not pictured with a current or former US President. The original photo was taken during Carter's presidency and features Obasanjo in the White House.
He captioned it, "Oba ni wa. Obasanjo in 1977." Eni in 2023, "because we would forever be Kings."
