The Ooni of Ife, Oba Enitan Adeyeye Ogunwusi who is on a mission to marry seventeen wives before 2022 elapse has offered marriage proposal to a certain Laide Lanre-Badmus popularly known as LLB in order to make her his sixth wife but got turned down.
Recall that the ooni of ife has been trending on social media lately for his consecutive marriages to different influential personalities.
Laide Lanre-Badmus who was born on July 10, 1981 holds a degree in Politics and International Relations from Olabisi Onabanjo University and a diploma in Law from Leads City University.
She is a single mum of one (the child isn’t Ooni’s), she was once married but walked out of the marriage due to domestic violence.
It was gathered that Laide and the Ooni of Ife,have been involved for some time now as Kemifilani reported that they happen to be so in love with each other that everyone within and outside thought the romantic relationship would lead to a lasting marriage.
As reported by Kemifilani, Laide rejected the proposal because she can’t afford to share him with other women.
“Laide is a constant face in Ile Ife and there is no one in the palace who doesn’t know ‘Oloori Laide’. Yes, they call her Oloori in the palace and everyone thought Baba (Ooni) would marry her because he really loves her and she doesn’t joke with their affair,” a palace source disclosed.
However, She didn’t want the mass wedding for two months to take place between September and October 2022. Not because she didn’t love him (she still does) but because she doesn’t want to share the love of her life with so many women.
Kemifilani also disclosed that it wasn’t Ooni’s intention to be polygamous but he couldn’t help it as he was instructed by the gods to marry many wives after Naomi divorced in December 2021 and he had could not offer to disobey the instruction from the establishment.
Another source close to the duo said, “It’s really surprising that she would reject this proposal because they were very close and she was always with him. So many things are involved in this matter and it’s between LLB and the Ooni. They are still in love with each other.
Laide is said to come from an influential family as well..
