All roads will lead to Benin City this Saturday, 12th March
2016 as the Ooni of Ife, H.I.M Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi and the beautiful
Wuraola Otiti Obanor will hold their traditional marriage. Ooni’s
wife-to-be bears the same name as his late mother Princess Margaret
‘Wuraola’ Ogunwusi.
Many have been wondering if the charming first-class
king ascended the throne without a wife. Let’s tell you that the
41-year-old king was married to Bukola Bombata who stepped out with him
during his coronation in December 2015. Then-Prince Adeyeye Ogunwusi at
31 years old, married Bukola {nee Bombata} in 2008. They had a
traditional wedding, and holy solemnization in church.
We
however gathered that before then, things were not going on smoothly on
the homefront with the estranged couple. Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi has a
child Adeola from a previous relationship. The well-loved king decided
to seek his love in Wuraola soon after his first marriage to Bukola
crashed due to irreconcilable differences. Before news of their
separation was made public, Oba Ogunwusi shut down speculations about
his marriage status when he started appearing at public events without
Bukola.
The first-class king will however cease to be a
bachelor from this Saturday. After his traditional wedding to Wuraola on
Sunday, 13th March 2016, there will be a thanksgiving ceremony at the
Royal Court of Ife, Aafin, Enuwa Square in Ile-Ife, Osun State by 12
noon. Dawn-To-Dusk News gathered that though the coming together of Oba
Adeyeye Ogunwusi and Wuraola Obanor is seen as a rather unexpected
union, the lovebirds couldn’t have been happier as they are head over
heels with each other.
Taking a look back at their whirlwind
romance and where it all began,a source told Dawn-To-Dusk News that the
Ooni of Ife met Miss Wuraola Obanor in Lagos where he lived previously
and owned a thriving real estate business Essential Homes headquartered
in Lekki.
It was in Lagos that the Ooni and Wuraola were said to have
been introduced. The source further told Dawn-To-Dusk News that: “Ooni
is very happy and they get along so well. They’re having a great time
together.” The source further said, there are so many qualities that
Ooni found in Wuraola: aside her beauty, she’s respectful, gracious,
cool-headed, and homely. Friends have since said they have never seen
Ooni as happy as he is with Wuraola, and her joy is evident whenever
they are together!
