Princess Adeola, who celebrated her 30th birthday on Monday, May 20, has received a request from her father, the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi.
The monarch took to his Instagram page to offer prayers for his daughter, asking for God's guidance over her and expressing gratitude for her happy life.
Oba Adeyeye reminisced about how he used to chat with her about school and her future when she was 10 years old. By the time she turned 20, he urged her to pay attention and appreciate the value of morality and well-being.
Now that she has turned 30, he is advising her to find a husband, as he believes it is time for her to settle down.
He wrote: “Princess Adeola, Aanuoluwapo, Atutunini, Bamdefe Ogunwusi, Omo Ojaja II. I am truly grateful for the fulfilling life you have lived. May God Almighty continue to be with you in all your endeavours. Amen!
"When you turned 10, your father would talk to you about school and your future. At 20, he encouraged you to listen and understand the importance of morals and well-being, even as you sought independence.
"Now that you are 30, you are a grown woman. Your father senses that you no longer wish to be advised as independence has finally set in.
"I talked 10 to you and I got your subtle independence behaviour in return, I talked 20 to you and still got your near obvious independence behaviour in return. Now I’m talking 30 to a grown woman, so go and bring husband to daddy o…
"With love from the throne of Oduduwa. Congratulations, and may God continue to guide you in all your pursuits”.
Princess Adeola's mother, Omolara Olatunbosun, debunked the notion that their daughter had always known the monarch in 2022. The Ooni revealed that he single-handedly raised Princess Adeola.
The monarch previously shared how, at age 19, he became a father to his daughter and mentioned the challenges of parenthood.
He referred to Adeola as his best friend and greatest confidante in a post on his social media accounts.
