Ooni of Ife: People mocked me when my marriage broke down

He explained that God’s response was to reassure him and tell him to put his mind at rest.

“When my marriage broke and I became single, many people mocked me and said there is no respect for a king that has no queen. I was sleeping and waking up alone. I called on God; I asked questions: who did I offend? I never did evil to anyone. He told me to put my mind at rest. Look at me today. There are queens everywhere in the palace” he said.

Ooni of Ife recently  welcomed twins with one of his wives, Queen Tobi.
