The former wife of the Ooni of
Ife, Olori Wuraola has come out to confirm that her marriage to the reigning
Ooni of Ife Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi Ojaja II has crashed.
Recall that we had earlier
reported that there have been rumours of trouble in the marriage of the Ooni
due to several undisclosed reasons.
Queen Wuraola, who has now reverted
to her maiden name Zaynab Otiti Obanore confirmed via her Instagram handle that her
marriage to the monarch is officially over but failed to give reasons for the
breakup.
She, however, hinted that possible
domestic violence could be responsible, also advising people against spreading
false information about the situation.
Wuraola described her
relationship with the Ooni of Ife as an old chapter, and tagged her new status “a
new chapter” aimed at fighting boldly and fearlessly for the rights of women.
Read her full statement below:
We have got to stop this culture
of shaming and vilifying women with false stories of infidelity & nefarious
behavior. The spreading of false information (through "sources"
afraid to be identified) is the mark of cowards and a cover up for guilty
parties to justify their horrific actions. There is absolutely no truth to the
media circulated lies of infidelity and infertility- on my end.
What I can confirm, is that the
Ooni and I are no more. I inhale love & exhale gratitude. My journey
continues as a Humanitarian aiding women and victims of domestic violence &
abuse with the United Nations. No matter how much time you've invested, no
matter the use of media to silence & manipulate, no matter the
circumstance, slander, embarrassment, threats and lies: Get out and seek
immediate help!
We've seen this movie before.
Women being dragged in the press & blamed for everything under the sun.
This behavior is unacceptable. I urge those involved to be mindful of their
actions for the eyes of our Almighty God are always watching. The seeds of
slander is a cancer that harvests to eat away the souls of the planter.
The throne is sacred and the
attempts to tarnish the name of a Queen, in defense or on behalf of a silent
King makes all involved look terrible. Remain dignified in all you do. It's not
the end of the world, but the start of a new chapter and you must turn the page
with grace. The world is watching.
As I bid adieu to this chapter,
my wish to you all is to step into your lives - boldly & fearlessly, the
way God intended and live not just by words, but through example. The best
chapter in our lives is the one we are writing now. Thank you for your love and
support.
With peace, love & light, -Her Highness, Zaynab Otiti Obanor.

DeleteI will never judge from afar, its the greatest lesson I have learnt in life.
ReplyDeleteIts better to be at peace than in pieces. Goodluck to all parties involved.
The Oba should check himself, this is his 2nd marriage, I don't know why fools are blaming the lady, not all women can tolerate nonsense all in the name of stay in unhappy marriage or die. His sisters are not even helping the situation, they are in control.
ReplyDeleteWhat Highness?
