December 17, (THEWILL) – Last weekend, the Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland, Otunba Gani Adams, took another wife in the person of Joy Onojaife, a former beauty queen from Delta State. Although the traditional wedding ceremony was a private one, it had in attendance some very important personalities, such as the traditional ruler of Shasha in Lagos State, Oba Babatunde Nasiru Ariwajoye, who led the groom’s party.
Others were the Parakoyi Aare Onakakanfo of Yorubaland, Prof. Kolawole Raheem, who led other members of the Aare-In-Council, including Atoloye Aare Onakakanfo of Yorubaland, Chief Babajide Tanimowo; Barejiro Aare Onakakanfo of Yorubaland, Dauda Asikolaye; Asoju Aare Onakakanfo of Yorubaland, Chief Yinka Oguntimehin; and Akinrogun Aare Onakakanfo of Yorubaland, Chief Kazeem Hamzat, among several others.
Joy is the daughter of Lagos-based architect, Lucky Onojaife. A former Miss Delta State and the Most Beautiful Girl in Urhoboland in 2012, she is a graduate of Physiology from the Delta State University, Abraka. Contrary to a story that is circulating around town, Joy is currently Otunba Adams’ only wife, not his second wife. His first wife, Mojisola, has moved on with her life and relocated to the United Kingdom with the twin children they both welcomed in 2020 after several years of waiting.
Sources close to THEWILL allege that Mojisola left because she could no longer tolerate her husband’s alleged weakness for women. Adams, a former National Coordinator of the Oodua Peoples Congress, OPC, who has been without a woman in his home for over a year, had no other choice than to take Joy as his lawfully wedded wife.
In an interview she granted a few years ago, Mojisola had revealed how people warned her against marrying her husband. But she went ahead to tie the knot with him, saying she has no regrets as there is no marriage without its differences and what matters is how one is able to handles marital issues. Well Mojisola’s words of assurances seems to have now boomeranged in her face.
