The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, Ọjájá II, has declared that all women are witches and manipulators.
He said this on Thursday when he hosted the cast of the reality show, “Real Housewives of Lagos”.
Prominent cast members including Iyabo Ojo, Chioma Ikokwu, and Tania Omotayo were in the team that visited the monarch in his palace.
Ooni’s queen, Aderonke Ademiluyi-Ogunwusi, received the cast in a warm reception and guided them on how to address the king as he entered the palace.
Oba Ojaja ll shared insights with the Real Housewives of Lagos cast, delving into the topic of witchcraft.
He said he believes that all women have a witchcraft spirit, insisting that this spirit is associated with manipulation.
“Every woman has that witchcraft spirit in them but you know people just probably think it is a negative thing, but witchcraft is all about manipulation.
“If you know how to manipulate very well, that’s the power of a woman. You have a natural manipulative spirit and you should manipulate in a very positive way,” the monarch said.
Iyabo Ojo sought clarification, asking whether the king meant that all women were witches.
The monarch responded in the affirmative, but quickly added that they are “good witches.”
