"'You will pay a fine (for coming late), just go and sit down.' That's what he said.

Royal commented:

"There was nothing like “or” in what he said. What he said was “ you’ll definitely pay Fine (as in he will pay for being late), go and sit down”

Tolashe explained:

You interpreted it wrong, he told him he will pay a fine (maybe cos he came late), so he should go and sit down, and it’s friendly."

Valentine reacted:

"Be a big man or be in a position. You can come to events at your own time and leave when you get bored."

Dee said:

"This shows that Yoruba people don’t take life seriously.They’re always happy people.U can see Governor Adeleke just laughed it off as a father to son joke cause Obasanjo is probably a father figure to Gov Adeleke. So you people should stop trying to misinterpret what happened."
