To welcome a new bride to the palace, the wives of Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, the Ooni of Ife, were present on the grounds.

Over the weekend, Sooko Laekun Prince Abimbola Ogunwusi, the eldest brother of the Ooni, married Princess Olayemi.

The Ooni’s Queens, Olori Mariam, Olori Aderonke, and Olori Temitope, were present for the royal wedding.
The Queens could be seen beaming in the YouTube video as they joyfully welcomed the new wife to the palace.

“THIS INSTITUTION IS BIGGER THAN ME, BEYOND ME. PEOPLE IN THIS PALACE ARE MORE THAN 800, THEY ARE CLOSE TO A THOUSAND.

THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN LIVING IN THIS PALACE FOR MORE THAN 60 YEARS, WHILE SOME HAVE LIVED HERE FOR MORE THAN 80 YEARS OLD. SOME PEOPLE ARE OVER 100 YEARS OLD IN THIS PALACE.

IF I HAD MY WAY, I TRIED TO CHALLENGE IT BUT IT BLEW IN MY FACE BUT THANK GOD I’M STILL ALIVE. IT’S AN INSTITUTION THAT IS RICH IN HERITAGE, CULTURE, AND TRADITION.
