The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, has warmed hearts online after reportedly accompanying his wife, Olori Mariam Anako-Ogunwusi, as she resumed work following her maternity leave.
The development has attracted attention on social media, with fans praising the monarch for showing support for his wife as she returns to her professional responsibilities.
Olori Mariam, who has a background in the oil and gas sector, recently welcomed twin princes with the traditional ruler. The Ooni announced the birth of the boys in May 2026, expressing gratitude that both mother and children were in good health.
The royal couple later presented their twin sons to the public at a ceremony held at the palace in Ile-Ife in September, following the completion of traditional rites associated with royal births.
Mariam’s return to work has sparked conversations about balancing motherhood, family life and professional commitments, particularly among women managing demanding careers after childbirth.
The Ooni’s reported gesture has also drawn positive reactions from social media users, many of whom described the show of support as a thoughtful expression of partnership.
However, the specific details of her return to work and the circumstances surrounding the monarch’s visit could not be independently confirmed from additional reporting.
