In an interesting revelation, Olori Tobi Phillips, the former beauty queen and third wife of the Ooni of Ife, has shared the story behind her purchase of a box full of Asooke, a traditional Nigerian fabric, with the intention of outshining others. Olori Tobi admitted that she bought the Asooke after her marriage, which drew sarcastic looks from her husband, as she had never been fond of headgear.
However, Olori Tobi is now expressing her dissatisfaction with her decision, as she constantly suffers from headaches whenever she wears the Asooke. Despite the softness of the fabric, she experiences discomfort after just a few minutes of tying the Gele, a type of headgear commonly worn with Asooke.
Olori Tobi humorously commented on her situation, imagining her husband's reaction and saying, "I'm sure my Ori was just looking at me like 'yinmu' (a gesture expressing disbelief) - 'Just dey play' - because I haven't been a Gele person from the onset." She concluded her statement by expressing gratitude to God for the gift of life.
This revelation offers a glimpse into the personal experiences and fashion choices of the Ooni of Ife's third wife, shedding light on the challenges she faces with traditional headgear and her candid thoughts on the matter.
