The number one monarch of the Yoruba race, the Ooni of Ife, Oba Enitan Adeyeye Ogunwusi, has sparked reactions online with a note he penned on his social media page to celebrate his first daughter, Princess Adeola, as she turned a year older today, May 20.
In his post, Oba Enitan prayed for his daughter and noted how fulfilled he feels to know that Princess Adeola is his child.
In the special note he penned to his daughter, the Ooni disclosed that he celebrated Princess Adeola’s birthday when she turned 10 and 20. He shared the advice he gave Princess Adeola when she turned 10, as well as 20, which bothered on schooling, morals and well-being.
The Ooni’s message to Princess Adeola as she turned 30 has sparked reactions online.
As the young woman turned 30, Ooni of Ife‘s advice upgraded from focusing on education and pursuing a career to finding a man to spend the rest of her life with.
In his post, the Yoruba monarch asked Princess Adeola to do him the honour and bring a man home soon for his conjugal blessings.
His post reads;
“Princess Adeola, Aanuoluwapo, Atutunini, Bamdefe Ogunwusi, Omo Ojaja II. I am truly grateful for the fulfilling life you have lived. May God Almighty continue to be with you in all your endeavors. Amen!
When you turned 10, your father would talk to you about school and your future. At 20, he encouraged you to listen and understand the importance of morals and well-being, even as you sought independence.
Now that you are 30, you are a grown woman. Your father senses that you no longer wish to be advised as independence has finally set in.
I talked 10 to you and I got your subtle independence behaviour in return, I talked 20 to you and still got your near obvious independence behaviour in return. Now I’m talking 30 to a grown woman, so go and bring husband to daddy o…
With love from the throne of Oduduwa.
Congratulations, and may God continue to guide you in all your pursuits.”
