Olori Ashley, the fourth wife of Yoruba monarch Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, is celebrating him as he turns 50 today, October 17th.
Taking to her Instagram page, she described him as her crown jewel and love as she stated that every day with him has been a gift. Olori Ashley expressed how blessed she is to share the milestone with him as she cheered to the memories they have made and the beautiful moments to come.
Affirming her love for him, she expressed sadness that she wasn’t with him to celebrate this milestone. However, it was for a good cause.
“Happy 50th Birthday Olowo Ori Mi, my CROWN JEWEL, my love! Every day with you has been a gift, and I’m so blessed to share this milestone with you. Here’s to the memories we’ve made and the beautiful moments still to come. I love you more than words can say. Shame I’m not there today, but it’s for a good cause.
I thought to do it differently today: Read less and listen more to the lovely tribute to my husband, the paramount ruler of the Yoruba kingdom, Oonirisa, Oba ton gba idobale awon Oba. Ninolowo Baba ADEMAKINWA, Ikoyi Esho mi Oko AFOLASADE @ooniadimulaife
With all my heart,
Your Wife and Queen
Her Imperial Majesty
Olori Ashley AFolasade Ojaja-Ogunwusi
Yeye Omi Oodua”.
Kemi Filani reported last month that Ooni and his fourth wife had announced the birth of their first child, a baby boy. Queen Ashley noted how, for over a decade, the enemies tried in her relationship with the monarch, but God made them victorious. She revealed that last year was a little dark for them as they lost twins, but God remained faithful.
In a follow-up post, while sharing a video of her cradling her baby bump, she reacted to the backlash she received for calling her newborn a crown prince, explaining that her son is a prince from her side and that of his father.
Last year October, Olori Ashley shared an adorable collage of photos of her and her husband as they celebrated their first anniversary. Expressing her love for the Ooni, she stated that she has grown to love him over the years and was eternally grateful to have him by her side as a husband.
