However, things have changed, as his palace is now filled with queens.

“I have celebrated a birthday as king without a queen, I was alone but I thanked God for today. Many mocked me, saying that a king without a queen commands no respect. Now, look at me; there are queens all around the palace,” the Ooni said in Yoruba.

The traditional ruler went on to express gratitude to God with two gospel songs, one about Jesus, as the guests sang along with him.
