Nigerian singer and entertainer Teniola Apata, popularly known as Teni, sparked online buzz today with a video she shared of her encounter with socialite Ibrahim Dende Egungbohun, also known as IBD Dende, on a plane.

Taking to her social media handle, Teni posted a video capturing the amusing moment she greeted IBD Dende in a rather unconventional manner. She started by doing a celebratory 360-degree dance, raising her hands in the air.

Following that, she mimicked the gesture of "Area Boys" by raising both hands in the air to pay homage to their leader before finally prostrating to greet him in the traditional Yoruba elder salutation style.

IBD attempted to restrain her, lifting her in the process. In Yoruba, he can be heard asking, "Kilonse?" (what is wrong with her), and later instructing her to "dide" (stand up). Teni also spoke in a hushed tone.

She then embraced him tightly before releasing him. Following that, she performed the Wakanda greeting with both hands crossed over her chest.

See Teni's video below:

IBD Dende, a notable figure in Nigerian social circles, is often associated with wealth and influence. However, he has faced allegations and controversies, particularly concerning his alleged involvement in smuggling activities, as reported by investigative journalist Fisayo Soyombo.

Despite these claims, Dende remains influential in certain circles, commanding respect and attention.

The video has elicited various reactions from netizens regarding Teni's actions. Some have pointed out the contrast between her refusal to shake hands with President Buhari and her prostration for IBD, a figure surrounded by controversy.

Here are different reactions on X below:

When Teni snubbed Buhari during her award presentation, the country jumped for joy thinking she was protesting against the hardship in the country. “She’s on the side of the people”😂

Isn’t this IBD Dende with serious allegations at the border?

Gbagbe, nobody is fighting for… https://t.co/j7iM99MG0L

I love the dragging Teni is getting. These artists, many of them are tone deaf, they just pretend to care on social media for validation. Imagine throwing your decorum to the pigs in this manner and proud enough to bring it online yourself. https://t.co/k6zQ0K1P48

Teni disrespected a whole President Buhari on live Tv but bowed and licked the floor for Dende.

This is the problem with most Nigerians, they worship wealth even if it's gotten through criminality.

Is that not Teni prostrating befor a common criminal whose criminal empire was exposed in details by @fisayosoyombo few weeks back? https://t.co/ilSt7ya1xz

Nigeria is a joke.

Shey na this same IBD Dende that Fisayo risked his life to expose as a smuggler with video evidence that Teni is lying on the floor to greet because Baba “dropped” something 😫😫😔😔

This Teni and IBD Dende marketing is simple.

APC destroyed the middle class. You are either rich now or you are seeing shege.

Celebrities like Teni will need funds to live their lives and there is no middle class to fund it.

It is simple.

Teni prostrating for IBD Dende is the most ridiculous and shameléss thing I have seen on the internet today.

We celebrate mediocrity, evil and críminals in Nigeria.

Sha don't forget to ask him what he does for a living?

What a shame!!! https://t.co/SlrgcOecTN
