Just recently, Queen Tobi Phillips, one of the wives of the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, hinted at the pressure she is currently experiencing.
This comes shortly after reports circulated about the arrival of a new wife, identified as Queen Opeoluwa Elizabeth Akinmuda, into the palace on Tuesday.
The new Queen will be traditionally ushered into the ancient Ife Oodua Palace in Ile-Ife, Osun state, on Thursday, followed by a thanksgiving ceremony on Sunday.
