Ooni Admits He Mocked Polygamy Before Practising It
The Ooni of Ife recently revealed that he once criticised men who had multiple wives. He confessed that today he feels shy about his own large household because he once mocked those in similar situations. He explained that life’s unexpected turns, alongside royal traditions, spiritual obligations and cultural expectations, led him to marry several queens. In 2022, he married six wives over three months. His candid admission has sparked widespread debate online. Many Nigerians are now discussing the role of polygamy in modern society, the weight of tradition and the responsibilities of royal leaders.
