Olori Ashley, the fourth wife of the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, has explained why she tagged their newborn son, the Crown Prince.
Kemi Filani reported a few days back that Ooni and his fourth wife had announced the birth of their first child, a baby boy. Taking to his official Instagram page, the Ooni expressed gratitude to God for the great things He had done.
Queen Ashley, on her part, noted how, for over a decade,e, 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.
She had referred to their newborn son as the Crown Prince, and this raised eyebrows on social media, considering the Ooni has two sons. One from his estranged wife, Olori Naomi and one from his third wife, Olori Tobi Phillips.
In an Instagram post, why sharing a video of her cradling her baby bump, she explained that her son is a prince from her side and that of his father.

As a MOTHER call forth and speak life to your children; call them what you want for them and what you want for them to be. Let your children know who they are in this world and what they were born and destined to be without prejudice. It is your duty and right to do so as a MOTHER. Ẹnu ẹ laṣẹ wa, use it on your Children, DO NOT APOLOGISE for speaking life to your seeds to germinate and produce fruit. DO NOT be pressured by no one or no man.
PS: Which is your favourite pregnancy month”.
