Former wife of the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, Queen Zaynab, spoke to Vogue Arabia about how tough it was to divorce him.
In the interview, Zaynab revealed this. “It’s interesting to hear that being the first queen out of Africa to dissolve my marriage with a king is considered a thing,” she says. It took a lot of bravery to make such a decision. “I wanted to make a statement about what I believed in.”
She continued, “At a point during my absence from the King, I had an epiphany. So I sat down and talked to myself, deciding to help all those who are oppressed.”
