The
17-months old marriage between Ooni Of Ife, Oba Enitan Adeyeye
Ogunwusi and Olori Wuraola has indeed ended, despite having to issue
statements debunking rumors, as new reports reveal the real reasons
behind the crash.
The Ooni and his Olori
Despite
efforts by the couple, who issued different press statements from
their respective offices, to deny any cracks in their 17-month-old
union, it’s crystal clear that things have fallen apart and the centre
cannot hold between the Ooni of Ife, Oba Enitan Adeyeye Ogunwusi and
Olori Wuraola.
As at the time of filing this
report, both are living separately. Olori, who has moved down to Lagos,
seeks succor from close family members, while the Ooni is in Ile-Ife.

authoritatively reported that Olori Wuraola who has been sent packing
from her matrimonial home has gone to retrieve her belongings from the
palace which is now being controlled by the Ooni’s sisters - Folashade,
Adesola and Adebimpe. Recall that the sisters have successfully gotten
a wife, who is named Bolanle for the king.
The
royal sisters are alleged to have been married to men who are personal
aides to the king. Adesola and Adebimpe are divorced. In fact,
Adebimpe’s estranged ex husband remains a personal aide to the king.
Only Folashade, the first daughter, is currently married and her
husband, Jide Fadairo, manages one of the king’s companies in Lagos.
Meanwhile,
with many allegations levelled against Olori Wuraola, her friends are
worried that she has decided to keep quiet on some earth-shaking facts
that would clean up her battered image.
If
the king proposed to her 24 hours after they met and told her that Ifa
(the oracle) had revealed to him that she was his wife, why did he
send her away? Did Ifa lie over 17 months after the proposal? What is
Ifa saying now? That she is no longer his wife?” her friends asked.
Now,
her friends have alleged that Oba Ogunwusi, who needed a sizeable
financial war chest in his battle to become the Ooni of Ife, was
actually targeting Olori Wuraola’s wealth and wide contacts.
Sources
disclosed that at that time and even afterwards, he constantly
threatened her with charms, claiming he had eaten a live human heart,
and had therefore acquired powers both to do and undo. They also
alleged that he has a tempestuous character and many times barely
stopped short of beating her whenever arguments ensued between them.
Her
friends disclosed that one matter that always caused rifts in the
marriage was her constant advice that the monarch should clean up his
act concerning his business dealings.
“She fell for his charms and thought he was extremely wealthy but when she moved in, she realized it was all a sham!” they (friends) revealed.
Olori
Wuraola had reportedly raised the alarm that too many of his business
dealings had a lot of question marks hanging over them, and that it was
high time he began to live above board so as not to drag the dignified
office of the Ooni into disrepute. It was gathered from a reliable
source close to the couple that this often infuriated the Kabiyesi.
But what about the allegations of infidelity against the queen?
“Nobody
should believe that because it’s a general belief that anyone sleeping
with the wife of a king would die. How many men linked with her
romantically have died? We know where this is coming from and those who
have accused the Olori have been sleeping about with men who are not
their husbands. These allegations are attempts to rubbish her and
tarnish her image," a source close to the palace said, adding that childbearing was another issue that caused friction in the marriage.
The
Ooni kicked out his first wife, Adebisi Adebukola Bombata because they
had no child. The couple was married for eight years (2008-2016) and
his family believed that he needed to find someone who will bear him
children which was how Wuraola came into the picture.
Now
a year, and a few months down the line, Wuraola has still not become
pregnant, and many are wondering what or who should be blamed?
"Even
before their March 12, 2016 wedding, the relationship had been dogged
by controversies. Olori Wuraola who was fondly called Sonia was
allegedly married to a Lebanese, Elie Khouri, and she dumped him for
the Ooni. She was also linked to other wealthy men. Again, her friends
reiterated that these stories were just a smear campaign that is very
far from the truth," the source added
