The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, celebrated his daughter Adeola’s 30th birthday on May 20 with a special message on social media, catching the attention of many online.
In his heartfelt post spotted by Beyond Boders, Oba Ogunwusi prayed for God’s blessings on Adeola and suggested that it might be time for her to consider marriage.
He reminisced about the advice he has given her at different stages of her life. At 10, he focused on education and her future. At 20, he emphasized morals and well-being. Now, at 30, he feels she is ready to find a husband.
He wrote, “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 endeavours. 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 got your subtle independent behaviour in return. I talked 20 to you, and I 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. With love from the throne of Oduduwa.”
