The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, is celebrating a major milestone in the life of his daughter, Adewamiwa, as she turns 18 on April 21st, 2025. The proud father took to his Instagram page to share photos of the birthday celebrant and penned a heartfelt note expressing his love and admiration for her.
Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi expressed his amazement at how quickly his daughter had reached such an important milestone. In his birthday message, the monarch shared his joy and pride in the young woman Adewamiwa is becoming. He prayed for God’s continuous blessings and protection in her life.
In his Instagram post, he wrote:
Adewamiwa is 18 today! Just like that, you’ve reached this beautiful milestone. I’m so proud of the young woman you’re becoming. May God’s blessings and protection surround you today and always. With all my love, Daddy.”
This heartfelt message has garnered attention from followers and fans alike, who have joined the Ooni in celebrating his daughter’s coming-of-age. Adewamiwa’s milestone birthday marks a significant moment in the life of the royal family and has captured the hearts of many.
The Ooni has always expressed pride in his children. A year ago, while celebrating the birthday of his first daughter, the monarch humorously made a demand for her to bring him a husband as she turned 30. This shows the Ooni’s unique approach to family celebrations, blending love, humor, and his royal duties.
In addition to Adewamiwa, the Ooni is a proud father of five children. Princess Adeola is his first child from his teenage years, and he has a son with his estranged wife, Queen Naomi Silekunola.
In 2022, the Ooni also surprised the public by celebrating the first birthday of a daughter born to one of his concubines, a revelation that had been hinted at by his estranged wife. Queen Naomi had previously spoken about the Ooni’s relationships with other women in the palace, and the monarch had confirmed this by publicly honoring his daughter.
The Ooni of Ife’s family continues to expand, with the monarch recently celebrating the birth of twins with his third wife, Olori Tobi Phillips, in March 2024. Shortly after, he announced the arrival of a son with his fourth wife, Queen Ashley.
As of now, the Ooni is married to six wives: Olori Mariam, Olori Elizabeth Akinmuda, Olori Tobi Phillips, Olori Ashley, Olori Ronke, and Olori Temitope.
