Oba Ogunwusi is the spiritual leader of the Yoruba people now saddled with the responsibility of making supplications to God and the Òrìṣà on behalf of his tribe and the world at large during annual festivals such as Olojo

Oba Ogunwusi was born at 13.00GMT on 17 October 1974 to the family of Oluropo and Wuraola Ogunwusi of the Giesi Royal House, Agbedegbede Compound in the city of Ile-Ife. His birth was predicted years before he was conceived. Hence, he was named Enitan by his mother while his grandfather named him Adeyeye, which means ‘the crown befits the throne. Oba Ogunwusi is the fifth child in a family of seven.

Oba Ogunwusi was involved in previous relationships. Notable among them is Adebukola Bombata, whom he married in 2008, Olori Wuraola Zaynab Otiti, his second wife (2016-2017), and Omolara Olatubosun, with whom he has his only daughter and with whom he is a co-parent. The daughter’s name is Princess Adeola Aanuolouwapo Ogunwusi (born in May, 1994). Ogunwusi married Prophetess Morenike Naomi Oluwaseyi in October, 2018

Achievements

Shortly after his coronation, Ooni Ogunwusi met with the Alaafin of Oyo and by so doing initiated a new era in the history of the Yoruba States. He effectively broke the jinx of institutionalised discord between the thrones that had plagued Ile-Ife and Oyo for decades. The Oba is an advocate for the empowerment and emancipation of women and young people. He has transformed Ile-Ife into a tourist zone, with changes including the beautification, redesign and re-construction of the ancient city. Oba Ogunwusi is also a renowned philanthropist^[3] who is committed to humanity and an advocate for the less privileged. He has granted support over the years through the House of Oduduwa Foundation and, recently, through Hopes Alive Initiative

comment by gistmania blogger Ever wonder how light and darkness can co-exist peacefully like the Ooni Of Ife and his prophetess wife who is also a leader in the church? Well add lots of money and a royal title, you will see a version of lighting existing in darkness. How can the wife of the Ooni who calls herself a pastor and prophetess engage in such an idolatory worship at the Olojo festival that was led by her husband and had black and red colors as the official color of the day? I just do not understand, I will be glad if anyone can shed more light on this because this one is surely beyond me, here are some photos from the Olojo festival. The Ooni himself as once considered himself to be a Christian and he is known to sponsor some of the most popular white garment prophetess including the popular Iya Adura, Prophetess Esther Ajayi, which way people!??? Ooni of Ife goes into seclusion as Olojo festival commences Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, Ojaja II,is in festival mood as the Olojo festival has taken off. In Ife, it is said that the Ooni has gone to commune with the Almighty. And he does this with fasting and prayer. The Ooni of Ife, this time around, has unlimited requests as his prayer points swelled. The Ife monarch wants a better Nigeria; he has, therefore decided to pray for the unity and peaceful governance of the country, among other numerous prayer requests he has taken to Providence.
