Published

The marriage of Popular Yoruba monarch , Ooni Of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi Ojaja II who got married seventeen months ago to his bride, Olori Wuraola has hit the wall.

Palace sources claim the ooni’s father is solely responsible for the recent collapse of the marriage. Reports claim that olori wuraola’s father inlaw Aderopo Ogunwusi  has not played the role of a yoruba elder in pacifying both parties in the marriage hence leading to the breakdown of the marriage. Palaces sources indicated that olori wuraola has been very quiet lately and is watching eagerly to see what new tricks her husband has lined up.

OONI OF IFE, OBA ADEYEYE OGUNWUSI & FATHER BabaOba Aderopo Ogunwusi

A source hinted SOCIETY REPORTERS NG that the OOni  tried to chase olori wuraola away to make room for the incoming olori but the afobajes (Kingmakers) and other elites pleaded with the Ooni to settle things amicably with olori wuraola.

 

The report of the royal breakup surfaced online just days ago, and has since gone viral.

However, a new report has revealed and confirmed that the baba Oba is the third wheel that has caused serious strain on the marriage.

According to palace sources the whole royal rumble started last year but only got worse few weeks ago on the couple’s return from their trip to London.

 

Subsequently, Olori wuraola consulted former president Obasanjo who advised her to manage the situation in her marriage. Olori was also said to have consulted her father in law to mediate on the troubles in her marriage but Aderopo Ogunwusi instructed her OTHERWISE.

Which yoruba elder or would advise or instruct his daughter in law in such manner?

This is where our investigation begins..

By Tradition Ooni’s father is not meant to lay his eyes on his son the Ooni after being  crowned as king but palace sources say the Ooni and his father see each other every day. Sources in the palace claim that the Ooni is being controlled by his father and does his father’s bidding. The afobajes  (Kingmakers) have warned of the danger associated to this unholy alliance between the father Babaoba Aderopo and Oba Adeyeye but all the warnings fell on deaf ears. Aderopo’s interference with palace politics has caused many to question if Oba Adeyeye is fit to rule. Mostly in social gatherings he is now referred to as the “FIGURE KING” that has brought opprobrium to the most revered stool in all of Africa.

 

 

Another palace sources also hinted SOCIETY REPORTERS that while olori wuraola is hibernating far away from ife her beloved husband the Ooni of Ife has gone on an alleged sponsored media rampage to discredit his wife with insinuations of infidelity and unpublishable accusations. Our further investigation also revealed that there was an agreement before their wedding that ooni would not marry another woman, and they both agreed to it but now the ooni is willing to take another woman, reneging from the earlier conceded agreement which has led to the genesis of this crisis.

According to our Palace source, “It was the ooni that wanted to send her out of the palace, he is already planning to bring another woman into the palace and he knows he cant achieve that having Olori Wuraola in the same palace”.

 

 

Further findings revealed that some elders are insisting that Olori Wuraola should stand her ground and remain in the palace, even if Ooni’s intentions were to bring in another woman, she will remain the one and only recognized Olori in the palace of the Ooni. “ after all, when they got married a lot of negative stories were written about her, and after a while they were forgotten, same thing will happen now, but if she quits her stand now, Oba Adeyeye will think he can do the same thing he did to his former wife, Bukola to Olori Wuraola. Ooni of ife has always been alleged to be  the problem in his marriages;  Ooni at some point told his close friends he can’t stay with olori wuraola any longer. This got olori wuraola  because she has invested a lot in the Ooni of Ife. Asides the emotional trauma she has had to endure, she has been drained financially by the Ooni of all her life’s savings and now the Ooni wants to throw her out for a new bride” according to royal sources.

 

Another reliable source added that, since the beginning of this royal marriage, olori has always been an independent woman who was self made before falling for the young monarch.

 

A friend who Ooni recently asked for financial assistance said to Society Reporters NG “People will think that the ooni is a rich man but in fact he is not, he is only good at doing otherwise to people and fantastic at making unimaginable promises.   This is why in social gatherings he is referred to as the child that is stilled tied to his father’s apron strings.

WATCH OUT FOR THE PART 2 OF THIS REVELATION.

Nollywood, social media, others fueling get-rich-quick syndrome — First Lady

Published

By

The wife of President Bola Tinubu, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, on Friday, said skewed messages projected by some movies, social media and religious organisations are fueling the get-rich-quick syndrome which is also driving Nigeria’s high rate of trafficking in persons.

Tinubu also pledged her support to the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons in the agency’s ongoing fight against human trafficking.

She stated this when the Director-General of the agency, Binta Bello, led the top management of NAPTIP to her office at the State House, Abuja.

Senior Special Assistant to the First Lady on Media, Busola Kukoyi, revealed this in a statement signed on Friday titled ‘First Lady reiterates call for re-orientation for hard work and patience.’

The First Lady, who was briefed on the activities of the Agency, particularly the recent raid on a baby factory in Abuja, where 19 pregnant young girls were rescued, called on youths to stop making themselves easy targets for traffickers and other criminally minded people by embracing the virtues of patience and hard work.

She said, “The get rich quick syndrome is not helping matters. Even our religious institutions are doing prosperity preaching and even the bible talks about work. Social media is also not helping. Nollywood as well.

She pledged her support to the agency, starting with interfacing with wives of State Governors to assist in enhancing awareness and advocacy about its activities.

Earlier, the Director General of the Agency solicited the First Lady’s support for NAPTIP’s renewed campaign against human trafficking and GBV.

Bello explained that it is top of the agenda of the agency, as the trend of trafficking is getting alarming.

“Trafficking in persons is the second largest transnational organised crime in the world after drug trafficking.

“It is also a huge menace in Nigeria and it requires the buy-in and active engagement of critical stakeholders to fight it,” she stated.

She pointed out that despite the agency’s string of successes including the recent rescue of 21 young victims taken from Niger State, en route Republic of Niger, gaps in resources mobilisation and legal frameworks are some of the challenges confronting the operations of the agency.

She highlighted skills acquisition, awareness advocacy, provision of adequate shelter and safe homes, and legislative and policy support as some of the areas of intervention needed from the First Lady.

The First Lady also gave an audience to the new national executives of the National Council for Women Societies of Nigeria, led by its new National President, Princess Edna Azura.

The delegation was in her office to thank her for her motherly support to the council, especially after the passing of its immediate past National President, Lami Lau.

While commending them for working together in unity, the First Lady encouraged the council to do more for their members by taking advantage of the Renewed Hope Initiative, RHI programs at the subnational levels.

Tinubu reiterated her commitment to building better families through the Renewed Hope initiative.

The Nigeria Police Force has withdrawn the alleged fraud charge against Mr. Gbolahan Obanikoro, the son of Senator Musiliu Obanikoro, and four others, over alleged N1.3 billion fraud involving Access Bank.

 

Gbolahan alongside, Adejare Adegbenro; Balmoral International Limited; M.O.B. Integrated Limited; and DDSS International Company Limited were billed for arraignment before Justice Ambrose Lewis-Allagoa of the Federal High Court in Lagos on February 27.

 

However, the police in a Notice of Withdrawal brought under Section 108(1) of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act, 2015, has informed the court of its desire to withdraw the charge against the defendants.

The document dated February 4, and signed by a Chief Superintendent of Police, J. I. Enang read in part: “Take notice that the prosecution hereby withdraws the above mentioned charge against the defendants herein.

 

 

However, no reason was given for the withdrawal of the charge.

 

In the suit marked: FHC/L/902c/2024, the defendants were accused of conspiracy, obtaining by false pretences, and involvement in a N1,356,057,330.43 fraud.

 

The Inspector General of Police, had through the Special Fraud Unit (PSFU) in Ikoyi, Lagos, accused all the defendants of conspiring between May and September 2013 to fraudulently obtain the sum of N1,356,057,330.43 from Access Bank Plc (formerly Diamond Bank).

 

 

They allegedly misrepresented themselves to the bank’s staff and officers, claiming that they were involved in the business of importing cars from Dubai for sale in Nigeria and that the money was needed to finance the importation of a set of brand-new cars for resale.

 

 

The defendants were also accused of converting, transferring, retaining, or taking possession of the funds, knowing or having reason to know that such funds were proceeds of unlawful activity.

 

Additionally, they were alleged to have unlawfully converted the sum of N1 billion belonging to the bank for personal use.

 

When the matter came up last month, the prosecutor, M.Y. Bello informed the court that the matter was scheduled for the arraignment of all defendants.

 

However, he requested a new date to allow all the defendants to appear in court and take their pleas.

 

 

Counsel for the 4th defendant, Joshua Abel, told the court that most of the defendants, who were directors were not in the country, adding that only the companies named in the charge had been served with the charge sheet.

 

He, however, assured the court that all defendants would be present at the next adjourned date to take their pleas.

 

In light of the submissions, Justice Lewis-Allagoa adjourned the matter to February 27 for the arraignment of all the defendants.

 

Meanwhile, there were indications that the hearing for the case to be struck out might hold tomorrow, Friday.
