Photos From The Ooni Of Ife’s Wedding To Wuraola Otiti Today

His Imperial Majesty Oba, Enitan Adeyeye Ogunwusi today wedded his new bride, Wuraola Otiti Zynab Obanor, an architect based in Dubai, UAE from Benin, Edo state.

All roads led to Benin City today for the event. It’s being attended by first class kings, political juggernauts, business titans and high-octane socialites from near and far.

The traditional wedding is kicked off at noon at the Edo Hotel, Okada Drive, GRA Benin City, Edo State. A thanksgiving ceremony of the traditional union will hold tomorrow at the Royal Court of Ife, Aafin, Enuwa Square in Ile-Ife, Osun State. The choice of Benin for the first part of the wedding is because the new Olori has Benin roots and is also from Ile-Ife.

The Ooni of Ife has paid N25 dowry for his new bride’s Wuraola Zainab Otiti dowry today 12th March 2016.

Wuraola is now the new Olori Of Ife kingdom. Interestingly the Ooni wasn’t present but sent his staff of office.

The Ooni was said to have been smitten by the simple nature of ravishingly pretty Wuraola, who is a cousin to Jennifer Obayuwana, Polo boss daughter. Jennifer was one of those who first announced the marriage on her Instagram page. Ooni and Wuraola have been on courtship for a while. Breaking News International reports that the wedding is considered strategic and imperative as it’s strictly against the tradition for a king to live in the palace without the olori (queen). Oba Enitan Ogunwusi is a young monarch in his early 40s and stupendously rich. Tradition supports this marriage and there is likelihood of the Ooni marrying more as he progresses in his reign. It should be noted that Obas, generally, are not restricted to one wife.
