Participants will be thrilled with an authentic take on African-inspired fashion on British grounds.
Queen Aderonke is the wife of the Ooni of Ife, Oba Enitan Adeyeye Ogunwusi. In a video, a white man announced the African Fashion Week (AFW) on the founder’s behalf as she rocked a green and white traditional outfit.
The fifth wife of the king also held her country’s flag as it waved in the air and met with another member of her team who held the British flag. At this point, they exchanged flags and smiled before the camera.

Ooni of Ife marries 7th wife
TheTalk.NG earlier reported that the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, had finally sealed the deal on his 7th wife, Temitope Adesegun.
The queen dressed in white looked happy as she danced and smiled from ear to ear in videos sighted online.
Nigerians are still not over Ooni’s serial wedding, as some people asked why he didn’t throw a huge party for all his women at once.
