The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, has praised his daughter, Princess Adeola Ogunwusi, on her 30th birthday but also jokingly reminded her to “bring a husband to daddy”.

“I talked 10 to you and I got your subtle independence behaviour in return, I talked 20 to you and still got your near obvious independence behaviour in return. Now I’m talking 30 to a grown woman, so go and bring husband to daddy o…”
