Many have been speculating about the history behind the Ooni of Ife and his new Olori's relationship. It has been revealed that the couple's union is as a result of a supernatural force, as she was handpicked by the divine oracle of Ile Ife.
The happy royal couple
The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, has responded to bearers of malicious rumours attempting to break-up his marriage, stating that, his new wife, Olori Sonia Itohan Wuraola Otiti, was a divine gift from the gods.
"Wuraola’s ascent the throne, his bedroom and inner cockles of his heart, was divinely ordained. Simply put, Olori Wuraola, the new queen of Ife kingdom, emerged by a supernatural procedure; she was handpicked by the divine oracle of Ile Ife."
There were
multiple reports that the new queen lived a seedy life on the fast lane before her marriage to the monarch. Oba Adeyeye’s family have cleared the air, and also alleged that the Ifa Oracle picked Wuraola despite her ways because she might be a solution needed in the rulings of King Oguwusi Adeyeye.
According to them, "The King never met Wuraola before, it was the oracle that revealed her to Kabiyesi. The irunmole are still alive and they are doing wonders, according to the Ogunwusi ruling house."
Meanwhile, watch Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi Ojaja II, and his new wife, Olori Wuraola speak at their recent reception and thanksgiving in Ile Ife.
