Akinmuda is not likely to be Ono’s last marriage. He might keep going, and some report indicated that the number is 13 wives.
According to City People, Ooni’s marry wives was as a result of the advice of Ifa Deity.
“Because of the sweet-bitter experience that the Ooni has had with women in the recent past, the palace had consulted Ifa on the way forward for Kabiyesi and the decision was for him to marry more than one wife. Many of the palace chiefs and spiritual advisers to Kabiyesi decided to pray about the many troubles the Ooni has had with some of his previous wives, in quick succession, and Ifa had advised that the way to put an end to Kabiyesi’s failed marriages is for him to marry more wives, especially after Olori Naomi moved out of the palace and relocated back to her Akure base,” the tabloid reported.
