Ooni of Ife set to marry 7th wife in less than a year
The Monarch created a buzz across the internet by marrying six wives within a span of September and October 2022.
The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, is about to marry a new wife, Olori Opeoluwa Elizabeth Akinmuda.
Reports circulating online suggest that the palace has sent invitations to relatives and dignitaries for the wedding Thanksgiving service and reception of the new queen, scheduled to take place on Saturday, May 20, 2023.
The traditional entry of the Queen into the esteemed Ife Oodua Palace in Ile-Ife will precede the event, symbolising her integration into the royal household.
This wedding thanksgiving follows the recent marriage of the prominent Yoruba monarch to his sixth wife, Princess Temitope Adesegun, which was held at MRA Community Hall 15, Tokunbo Macaulay Street, Magodo Phase 2, Shangisha, Lagos State.
During the ceremony, the new Queen, Opeoluwa Elizabeth, will be officially welcomed by the royal guards, palace chiefs, and royal staff, representing the Yoruba monarch.
