February 05, (THEWILL) – Olori Sekinat Aramide Elegushi, the first wife of Oba Alayeluwa Saheed Ademola Elegushi, Kusenla III, the Elegushi of Ikate-Elegushi Kingdom, has revealed that she is not bothered about not producing an heir for her husband.
She disclosed this in an interview with BBC Yoruba. Olori Sekinat said she has been so blessed to have three adorable daughters with Oba Elegushi—who she married in 2003— and they have both raised the girls to stand “shoulder-to-shoulder” with their male counterparts in any part of the world.
She admitted that while women are not allowed to sit on the Elegushi royal throne, her daughters are capable of competing on an equal footing with men anywhere in the world.
“I never believed I wouldn’t have a male child, but God in His infinite mercies gave me three beautiful daughters. Of course, when it comes to ascending the throne, female children can not inherit the throne. But, I am so proud of my daughters because there is no place where any of their male counterparts stand, my daughters will stand shoulder-to-shoulder with them,” she said.
According to Olori Sekinat, the experience of successfully raising her three daughters inspired her passionate love for the underprivileged and showing love to children through her Quality and Selfless Empowerment, QSE Foundation.
