Nigerians always offer the wittiest, most sarcastic takes during global events and today, as King Charles is crowned, has been no exception.
This is the first time most people would be watching the crowning of an English monarch.
In what is a historic moment, King Charles III of the United Kingdom succeeds his late mother, Queen Elizabeth II who died on September 8, 2022, aged 96.
As he ascends the throne, he not only assumes the role of the British monarch but also becomes the Head of State for the Commonwealth Nations.
Camilla, his wife, has been crowned Queen. Recall that the then Prince Charles cheated on his ex late wife Princess Diana, with Camilla (former Queen Consort).
This momentous occasion has sparked widespread discussions and debates, with Nigerians taking to social media platforms, particularly Twitter, to express their thoughts and opinions on the coronation.
Here are some tweets on the coronation of King Charles III:
@ENIBOY A woman left her loveless marriage because her husband was in love with his mistress. She finally found love but died in an accident. Her husband married his mistress who became stepmom to her kids. The cheating husband was crowned king & his mistress is queen & the world cheered.
@Ebuka Dying at how CNN keeps going to Stephanie Busari in Lagos for Nigerian’s reaction to the coronation, and she keeps saying, “People here just don’t care.”
@Topeatiba Since I’ve been watching this coronation, I’ve not seen any photographers disrupting anyone’s view.

@TemisanEA Wetin concern me with Charlie coronation, when Liverpool get a crunch tie with Brentford.
@Morris_Monye All these things they are giving King Charles may be Horacruxes of the Queen.
@jasebyjason I can’t get over Camilla triumphing over Diana like this my God. A win for side chicks and a loss for bad bitches.
@Karigwe King Charles III will be head of state of United Kingdom and 15 other countries.
@DoubleEph Love the King’s shoes. Say I find one like it to wear about town, do I get arrested for impersonation?
President Muhammadu Buhari and other world leaders, including those of the Commonwealth, are attending the ceremony.
