How Oluwo Iwo’s Jamaican Wife Caused Enmity Between Funky King And Ooni Of Ife

This is a story of culture, being a practitioner, a beneficiary and the far-reaching implication of not staying true to the faith.

The real cause of the sudden “enmity” between the Oluwo of Iwo Oba Abdulrasheed Akanbi and the Ooni of Ife Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi has been unveiled.

The root cause of the development currently being prosecuted in the mold of a war of relevance by the Oluwo has roots in the treatment meted out to Channel Chin, the Jamaican wife of the Iwo King.

Information available has it that after he adopted the controversial stance of his queen wearing a crown, Oba Akanbi decided to pay the Ooni a courtesy visit in face of all the talks.

“He went with his queen who was wearing the controversial crown” a source stated.

Information available to societynow.ng that on arrival at the Ooni’s place, palace “guards” refused to shift ground regarding whether Oluwo’s wife appear before the Ooni wearing a crown or not.

“Let’s just say they meted out what they believed was a deserving reception to queen Channel, and the Oluwo felt slighted” a source disclosed.

Sources disclosed the Ooni refused to be drawn into the affair, maintaining the traditional stand that such affairs are reserved for those who took care of it.

But the Oluwo refused to see things that way, he believes it was the Ooni who “humiliated” his wife and by extension self as well.

The Oluwo just like the Ooni is a first class monarch and the Funky King is attempting to leverage this as “equal to the Ooni” in his ongoing cold war.

But history recognizes the Ooni stool as far greater than that of the Oluwo.

Historical accounts put the Ooni’s stool as first among even the first.
