The news of the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, marrying numerous women in the past two months has broken the internet.
The Ooni recently reported that he took a sixth wife, Princess Temitope Adesegun.
The monarch had picked an Ijebu princess, as his sixth wife and queen. Photos and videos from the lavish event have made it way to the internet.
Like his previous weddings, the Ooni is nowhere in sights, but members from the palace have stormed the venue to represent the King.
Nigerians have taken to social media to mock and rename the Yoruba monarch, tagging him a “horny” man.
One dozzydonwa wrote, “Ooni of Ife is now “Horny of Ife” what Nigerians cannot do doesn’t actually exist”
One Chrissy wrote, “What is “Horny of Ife” Aswear Twitter na wild place because how did they coin that out…. The Ooni of Ife has every right to marry even as many as 1000 women as he wishes”
Another user wrote, “Ooni of Ife shld just change his name to “Horny of Ife“, make we sabi say na wetin he go do for Royal house be that”
One SirDavidBent wrote, “This “Horny of Ife” stuff is highly disrespectful though. Inasmuch as we catch cruise, make jest and find humour in many things as Nigerians, it is important that we should never forget our cultural values. The Ooni of Ife is a revered monarch. This should not change.”
One 7thgodd wrote, “Wait, Horny of Ife will be collecting threesome frontambak every night now. Modern king Solomon in the making.”
