Two local chiefs whose exact traditional territories are not disclosed have been captured in a video that is gathering reactions online, exchanging what looks like gold for clothing.
In the video that was made public on the Twitter handle of @B3yefuBa, the two traditional rulers were filled with excitement whilst making the informal transition that many found to be highly problematic.
After offering the foreigners long chains of gold, the Caucasians who appear to be from the Middle East returned the favour by adorning the chiefs with their religious attires.
