Olori Tobi Philips, the Ooni of Ife’s third wife, has explained why she agreed to become the ruler’s third wife.
On Sunday, October 9, 2022, Olori Tobi Philips, the third wife of Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, the Ooni of Ife, was wed in a lovely ceremony.
Olori Tobi Philips discussed her decision to wed the monarch in an interview with TVC and cited;
“Someone called me one day and said, “Do you want to get married? And he asked if I wanted to get married to the Ooni.
“He introduced me to the Ooni. At first, I didn’t take it seriously because I was like, ‘what’s going on’.
”Then we met and started dating, but there were so many interferences that we didn’t get married. That was quite devastating.
“I always promised myself that I will marry someone that I love. There are values that I love in a man and the Ooni has that’s why I later agreed to marry him.”
