Olori Tobi Phillips Ogunwusi, One of the wives of the Ooni of Ife, has said that series of events preceded her marriage to the monarch.
Olori Tobi disclosed this while featuring on TVC's Your View show on Thursday.
She narrated how the King's proposal met her with great disbelief at first and why the relationship stalled before their eventual marriage.
"Series of events happened and I think that year I was just praying God I wanted to get married and somebody just called me one day and said "Do you want to get married?" and I was like what's happening"" And then he went further asking "Would you like to get married to Ooni of Ife?".
"He introduced me to the King but I didn't take this seriously as I was still wandering what's going on. We started dating but along the line, there were so many interference and we didn't get married", she stated.
Speaking further, Olori Tobi, a fashionista and ex-beauty Queen, said that contrary to media reports, her parents were not against polygamy and her marriage to the Ooni of Ife.
“If you find that person that fits specific criteria that are not negotiable for you, then you go with it. Ordinarily, I never imagined that I would find myself in a polygamous setting, but I always had some non-negotiable,” she said.
