The city of Benin was thrown into a beehive of festivities last Saturday as the Ooni of Ife, Oba Enitan Babatunde Ogunwusi tied the traditional knot with heartrob,Wuraola Otiti
The dowry which was paid with as little as twenty five Naira shows that Yoruba tradition whereby by traditional rulers can always get things as free as possible, the low dowry also signifies that wifes or women should not be for sale. all the in-laws call for will just be that the husband should not see their daughter as slaves bought from a slave market, is as good as no money was paid and no purchased was made and ofcourse the husband should just see self as a mere custodian of the woman and such woman should be handle with high level of fallibility.
Though the Ooni was absent at the ceremony due to customs and traditions denoted to his status, he was duly represented at the occasion.
The new royal wife was thereafter taken down to join her husband in his palace.
