An Ifa Priest has reportedly revealed the reason for the Ooni of Ife’s recent spree of marriages, claiming a deadline is involved just as the Ooni is set to take a 7th wife.

Earlier reports began to circulate that the Ooni of Ife, Oba Enitan Adeyeye Ogunwusi is set to marry seventh wife, Aridunu. The marriage is said to be slated for the 29th or October, 2022.

This is coming barely 48 hours after the revered Monarch married his sixth wife, Princess Temitope Adesegun.

A YouTuber on Instagram disclosed a conversation between an Ifa priest and a friend where it was stated that the Ooni was simply following tradition and had a deadline to meet.

He’s alleged to have 13 wives before the allotted time is up.

The Ooni’s palace is yet to verify or deny the claim.
