A tender, unscripted moment between the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi (Ojaja II), and one of his wives, Olori Ronke Ademiluyi Ogunwusi, is generating buzz online after footage from the Olojo festival went viral.

The Ooni marked the annual Olojo festival across five days, from Thursday, September 24, to Monday, September 28, 2026. On the final day of celebrations, a video emerged showing Olori Ronke arriving at the venue and making her way to greet the monarch.

Ooni and Olori Ronke's playful exchange

She knelt before the king in the customary gesture of respect, but what followed quickly shifted from formal to affectionate.

The two became absorbed in conversation, laughing freely and feeding off each other's energy. At one point, they both raised their hands and exchanged a high five, with the Ooni playfully pointing at the Olori as she giggled at whatever he said.

When she eventually stood up, she held her husband's gaze for a lingering moment before stepping away to acknowledge others seated nearby.

The clip drew widespread attention, with many noting the ease and warmth between the two.

Several observers contrasted this with another moment at the same event involving another of the monarch's wives, Olori Tosin, whose attempt to take pictures with him reportedly did not receive the same warm reception.
