Nigerian singer, Charles Chukwuemeka Oputa,best known as Charly Boy and other Nigerians have expressed their shocked over the traditional ruler of Yoruba Kingdom Ile-Ife, Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, who has just tied the knot with his sixth wife, Princess Temitope Adesegun today (Monday).

Charly Boy on his Twitter handle revealed how he is struggling to stay married to just one woman, while the Ooni of Ife in less than 2 months is married to six women.
He wrote, “I have been struggling to stay married to one woman for over 45yrs.
“Yet my fellow man, the Ooni of Ife in less than 2 months married 6 wives. Juju.
“I must go to this Ooni’s for tutorials. How is he doing it? What if he ends up marring 6 more, will it become a football team?.
Some Nigerians on social media have also expressed their shock, claiming King Solomon in the Bible would be proud of the king.
@PoojaMedia said,”I love Ooni of Ife tho. He’s marrying their role models.
@lolaofabuja said,”I’m learning from this Ooni’s marriage marathon that women are the greatest enablers of patriarchy. How do you let someone acquire 6 of you in 1 year? Are you a handbag, sis?.
@LeninPark4 said,”The Ooni of Ife just married another high valued, educated and exposed woman; making them six in his Palace.
“I thought the female gender hate polygamy? .
“In the realm of wealth and fame, there are no feminists”.

@realujunwamandy_ said,”What all this? You wan marry all the women ni? What is he using them for sef?.
@FauzziyahE said, “The women that Ooni of Ife married were not broke. You can’t compare them to those who wait for a man to pay for their hair and nails. That marriage is for power and class. Well, they seem like they needed a husband too. For those asking if I’d do it, I don’t do beardless men.
