Ooni of Ife Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi on Monday married another wife, Princess Temitope Adesegun.
The wedding tagged “elegant meets royal” was held at Magodo, Shangisha area of Lagos.
Princess Temitope’s wedding to the Ooni is coming four days after the monarch’s marriage to his fifth wife, the founder of African Fashion Week, Ronke Ademiluyi, who is the great-granddaughter of the 48th Ooni of Ife, late Oba Ajagun Ademiluyi.
In videos uploaded on social media, the bride is seen dressed in a white traditional outfit with matching headgear.
Like his previous weddings, the Ooni was not in attendance but members of the palace stormed the venue to represent the king.
In a video, the Ooni’s sisters are seen dancing.
In attendance at the wedding was herbal medicine practitioner, Quincy Ayodele, who is seen dancing alongside the monarch’s sisters.
Temitope is a princess from the Adesegun Ibipe Royal Dynasty of Ago-Iwoye in Ijebu North Local Government Area, Ogun State.
The monarch’s new wife has a diploma in linguistics from the University of Lagos. She also has a diploma certificate in data processing from the University of Lagos as well as a Bachelor of Science degree in business administration from the same varsity.
She recently teamed up with the Ooni to set up the Hopes Alive Initiative, which provides amenities to underserved communities.
The other wives of the Ooni include Mariam nee Anako, Elizabeth nee Akinmuda, Tobi nee Phillips, Ashley nee Adegoke and Ronke nee Ademiluyi.
Oba Ogunwusi was previously married to Adebukola Bombata in 2008 before he ascended the throne in 2015.
He also had a short-lived teenage romance with Omolara Olatunbosun who bore a child, Adeola Anuoluwapo, for him in 1994.
His marriage to Zaynab Wuraola Otiti, a Bini princess, in March 2016 failed due to irreconcilable differences.
Ooni married Naomi in October 2018. But three years later, just before Christmas, she announced her separation from the Ooni.
Their union produced a son, Prince Tadenikawo, who celebrated his first birthday in November 2021 before Naomi left the palace.
