The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, received the cast of Showmax’s popular reality show, Real Housewives of Lagos, this week. The cast, including Iyabo Ojo, Toyin Lawani, and Chioma Ikokwu, visited his palace, where the Ooni claimed that every woman possessed witchcraft spirits and an intuitive manipulative nature.
His wife, Aderonke Ademiluyi-Ogunwusi, who is Tiannah’s aunt, warmly welcomed the women and guided them on addressing and greeting the king when he entered the palace.
“Every woman has that witchcraft spirit in them, but you know people just probably think it is a negative thing. Witchcraft is all about manipulation,” he said.
“If you know how to manipulate very well, that’s the power of a woman. You have a natural manipulative spirit, and you should manipulate in a very positive way,” he added.
In reaction to the king’s statement, Ojo asked if he meant all women are witches. The king confirmed, explaining that they were ‘good witches.’
After the Ooni arranged a royal banquet to honor them, he visited the Queen’s Adire hub where she showed them how to turn plain white t-shirts into Adire.
