This babe no dey carry last as she don react to the monarch own allegations about am. In latest gist, she clear the air say Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi no get anything to do with their marriage wahala. Seriously, na wetin she talk? Make we follow this gist keenly.
Chanel no dey hide her feelings, as she pour out her heart for one interview wey dem do recently. She begin yarn about the problems wey push am out of the royal palace. According to her, she and her pikin run from the palace under serious duress. “Dem no gree me carry my things na,” she talk, showing say dem dey deny am access to her personal belongings. E be like say, na wahala dey side this royal matter!
She further talk say, “I go catch am red-handed. E go talk say, ‘No wahala, I be king, I fit do am.’ But wetin I go do? Na only me and my baby dey.” It no easy to be a queen o! (If dem no gree you shine, wetin we go call that one?) Some older women for Yoruba culture go dey advise am say, “Olori, put everything for God hand. You no fit just waka from your husband house.”
But that one no fit work for Chanel. She dey come from different background, wey make am no fully understand the whole cultural matter. “My papa na Jamaican, my mama na British, and I grow for Toronto, Canada. I no sabi wetin be juju at all until I come Iwo.” E be like say na real culture shock for am, as her mind dey wonder how she go fit balance this royal life.
Chanel credit the shock of her life as she tell say when she finally waka come out, na just 60 minutes dem gree her pack her things wey she don gather for four years. Chai! For five months, na so she dey waka for Lagos with her baby and luggage. The king sharp-sharp call police come dey eye am while she gree leave all her uko (wigs), make-up, and even her hair. Imagine say your husband wan use your things for the next queen when e no even gree you take am! (Na real wahala join the crown, I swear!)
When she dey address the recent talk wey Oluwo drop for social media, she clarify say, “Na one respected monarch for Lagos introduce me and the Oluwo, no be Ooni of Ife. Before we break up, we dey visit the monarch regularly. But since we part ways, the Oluwo no even show for Prince Oduduwa life for over five years. E just come back this August for Canada, drop $500 wey be the first support wey we see from am since we leave the palace.” Chanel don tire for the wahala and beg make people no carry false allegations against the Ooni of Ife. “This na my last statement on top this matter,” she declare.
As all this drama dey play out, Oluwo don dey accuse am say she dey work with the Ooni against am. E don tweet some things wey get everybody for gist mood. Na true, social media don turn wahala avenue for royalty. Some commentators don dey react, as one of them talk say: “This one don see sheyge pro max. At least, she don learn small of our culture.” Others dey wonder how she fit meet the king wey no dey control woman well. Na why dem dey call dem king sef? Plenty people dey open mouth for how the whole drama dey unfold, and e be like say we never hear the last on top this gist. (Royal palace don turn drama house be that!)
