The Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Olayiwola Adeyemi III, has revealed the reason behind marrying his young wives.
The Alaafin, who is married to many young ladies that could go for his daughters, also said that he did not set out to marry the young women, whose education he said, he sponsored.
In a chat with City People, the Oyo monarch said that the young women came on their own and asked him to marry them. He said that he sponsored the young ladies to school as a way of helping them and they decided to stay with him after sending them to school.
He said, “I did not propose to any of my wives. They desired to be with me because I sent them to school. After their university education, I told them to leave but they refused and insisted on staying with me here in the palace as my wives.

“The least educated of them has a Higher National Diploma and is now in the University. My wives have their individual quarters.
“God has given me some type of ability and grace to keep a woman, especially beautiful women. I don’t disclose my conversations or activities with one wife to another. I maintain a strict code of confidentiality.”
