Ooni of Ife, Oba Ogunwusi unveils Tope Adesegun As His New Wife and Olori of Ife
According to thefulcrum.com ;
fault a King for exhibiting his divine right to love. Thus with
no attempt at mischief, it couldn’t be wrong or distasteful
for the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, to fall head over
heels in love again. And if the subject of his affection is
none other than a drop-dead beauty, Tope Adesegun, so be
it.
If it is indeed true that Oba Ogunwusi is smitten over Tope,
then the kingdom of Ile Ife and high society are undeniably
in for a long, interesting haul of romance and intrigues
characteristic of love in royal and celebrity circles. You
couldn’t fault Oba Ogunwusi for falling in love, and you
couldn’t hate him for seeking her hand in marriage, even if
you tried.
The pressure to get the Ooni to marry another wife is
therefore predicated on the need to avoid any case of
accidental discharge that might rubbish the traditional
institution he represents. Soon after his second marriage to
ex-wife, Wuraola Otiti Obanor, crashed to irreconcilable
differences, Ooni seems to have rediscovered love in Tope
Adesegun.
Though separated from his two estranged wives, Olori
Adebukola and Wuraola, the Ooni is reckoned to be at an
impressionable age, his level of power, influence and street
cred nevertheless, to actually take his eyes off fine females.
As of now, surreptitious moves are being made to get the
respectable king to fill his multi-million naira palace with as
many women as can satisfy His Royal Majesty’s libido.
In Africa, especially in this part, kings enjoy massive royal
influence so much that if they chose to teem their palaces
with as many women as they so wish, they are not expected
to be questioned by any human, rather, they should be given
all the support to make their wishes come to fruition; this
overriding influence is so pronounced in the South West that
the Yorubas call kings ‘Kabiyesi,’ which literally translates to
‘he whose actions cannot be questioned.
