On Saturday, the Ooni of Ife, Oba Enitan Ogunwusi threw a grand reception party in his palatial royal palace in Ile Ife, Osun State, to formally welcome his second wife, Olori Opeoluwa Ogunwusi nee Akinmuda. The ceremony was in line with the cultural tradition of the palace to formally welcome her into his household and give her a seat among her co wives.
The first-class Yoruba monarch had married Olori Opeoluwa in 2022. In fact, she was the second person he married after Olori Mariam Anako. But unlike her co-Oloris, Olori Opeoluwa disappeared from the scene, leaving many to wonder what has become of her. Apparently, she had returned to Scotland immediately after the wedding where she works as a data processor to perhaps tidy up things before finally assuming her role as a queen. About a month ago, THEWILL had curiously wondered what had become of her after her marriage to the monarch. Unlike her co-wives who have all embarked on photo shoots to announce their statuses as queens, there was no photograph of her in the public space until recently, save for the blurry one she took on her wedding day at her parent’s home in Magodo, Lagos, with the groom in absentia. Also, quite unlike her co-wives who have not stopped hugging the limelight since their status got elevated, Olori Opeoluwa has remained indifferent.
