Weeks ago, there were rumours spreading across the media that the new wife of the Ooni of Ife, Olori Wuraola, was already married to a Lebanese billionaire. The new Olori had been previously married to two notable men which included the former governor of Jigawa state, Saminu Turaki and was still legally married to a Lebanese man name Eli Khoury. However the marriage between Olori Wuraola, whose real name is said to be Itohan Sonia Obanor, and Khoury reportedly crashed last year although it is yet to be legally dissolved.

Yesterday, a Facebook user named Lola Sotola confirmed the rumours that the new Olori was indeed still married to her alleged Lebanese husband. He shared photos of Wuraola and the man, Eli Khoury on his Facebook page and wrote: Is anything wrong for Ooni Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi marrying another man’s wife?
Well, according to some reports, it isn’t strange or uncommon for the Ooni to marry a woman who is already married to another man as long as she was chosen by the Oracle. In addition, Ooni Adewusi’s sisters recently disclosed during an interview that the new Olori had been revealed to him by an Oracle. “Kabiyesi didnt meet her a long time, it was the oracle who revealed her to Kabiyesi. They never met before” they stated.

So far, Nigerians have shared mixed reactions to the news. While a few had nasty things to say, the majority seem to support the Ooni’s new bride and believe she will make a wonderful queen regardless of her past.
