The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, Ojaja II, has extended his well-wishes to his daughter, Princess Adeola Ogunwusi, on her 30th birthday while gently urging her to consider marriage.
In a heartfelt message, the monarch reminisced about conversations with Adeola during pivotal moments in her life. He recalled discussing education and future aspirations when she turned 10, and emphasizing the importance of morals and well-being at her 20th birthday.
Now, as Adeola celebrates her 30th birthday, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi sees it as an opportune time for her to embrace the next phase of life – marriage. He affectionately urged her to bring a suitable partner who would become his son-in-law.
Addressing his daughter with endearing terms, the royal father expressed gratitude for her fulfilling life and extended blessings for her future endeavors.
“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 endeavors. 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 behavior in return. I talked 20 to you, and I still got your near-obvious independence behavior in return. Now I’m talking 30 to a grown woman, so go and bring a husband to daddy. With love from the throne of Oduduwa. Congratulations, and may God continue to guide you in all your pursuits,” he conveyed in his message.
