‘Bring a husband to daddy,’ Ooni of Ife tells daughter at 30

The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, used social media to celebrate his daughter Adeola’s 30th birthday on May 20. In his Monday post, Ogunwusi offered prayers for God’s guidance over her life and urged her to find a husband, noting that she was ready for marriage.

The esteemed king reflected on the advice he has given her every decade: at age 10, he discussed education and future plans; at age 20, he emphasized the significance of morals and well-being. Now at 30, his focus is on marriage.

He expressed his gratitude for her fulfilling life and prayed for God’s continued presence in all her endeavors.

When you reached the age of 10, your father would engage in conversations with you about school and your future. By the time you turned 20, he emphasized the significance of morals and well-being while also acknowledging your pursuit of independence.

Now, as a 30-year-old woman, you have fully embraced adulthood. Your father perceives that you no longer seek guidance as your independence has solidified. I communicated with you at age 10 and observed your subtle display of independence in response.

At age 20, I noticed your more apparent independent nature in our interactions. And now, speaking to a mature woman at age 30, it is time for you to find a husband and bring him to me. With love from the throne of Oduduwa.

He expressed his well wishes and hopes for divine guidance in all her endeavors. The social media post has received a positive response from Nigerians, with some men expressing interest in the daughter of the respected monarch.

One Instagram user, known as KaybabaofHouston, requested the father to introduce his daughter, encouraging others to show their interest.

Another user, ArosoIbitoye, commented that he knows suitable young men who would be interested in marrying into the royal family.

Similarly, Rydow asked for the daughter’s contact information as he has friends looking for serious relationships. Lastly, Ronnietthreads stated his desire to marry the monarch’s daughter directly.
