Ooni and Tobi

Former Beauty queen and third wife to the Ooni of Ife, Olori Tobi Philips Ogunwusi, has opened up on how she met the reverend traditional Yoruba monarch.

Naija News recalls that two months ago, the Ooni engaged in a wedding spree that raised eyebrows among many Nigerians.

While some people wondered how Ooni met the beautiful women, others questioned how he would keep up with about seven queens in the IIe-Ife palace.

However, Tobi Philips in an interview with TVC revealed that someone introduced her to the Ooni at a time she was praying about setting down in marriage.

According to her, she didn’t take the relationship seriously and was skeptical of what will happen because she never expected she would be getting married to the Ooni.

Tobi said she and the Ooni started dating after they met but didn’t get married at that time because there were so many interferences.
