Last weekend, the Oyo Empire under Alaafin of Oyo, Kabiyesi Lamidi Adeyami welcomed a new Olori as the 13th wife of Iku Baba Yeye. She is Olori Chioma Adeyemi.
But that is not the news, the real news is that Chioma had a couple of months back said a loud YES to a young 29-year-old chap, simply identified as Emeka, her suitor. (See pix). The rest they say is now history as Chioma.
Emeka’s proposition to Chioma went viral on the net a couple of months back, leaving a lot of people to wonder what went wrong between the aspiring young couple.
We can say authoritatively that Chioma Adeyemi has officially been married off to the traditional ruler as his 13th wife, despite a rumoured marital crisis rocking the palace in the last few months.
Alaafin of Oyo’s first public appearance with his latest and 13th Olori was at the installation of Real Estate guru, Chief Tomori Williams as the Aare Onikoyi of Yorubaland last weekend at the ancient of Oyo.
Sources revealed that the new Queen was joined with the 83-year-old monarch last year but is yet to embark on a 9-month course.
Chioma, at 23 years will be the first-ever young eastern Queen to marry the Great Paramount Ruler of Oyo Kingdom, the Alaafin of Oyo, Iku Baba Yeye!
