THE PALACE of the Ooni of Ife,  Oba Okunade Sijuwade, is in a festive mood as preparations are in top gear for a grand event that will take place in a couple of weeks. The event, which is the wedding ceremony of one of his princesses, Denrele, is starting with an introduction on Saturday,  October 28, where the family of the husband-to-be, Deji Fayose, will be hosted by the royal family.

Denrele is the  daughter of the Ooni's wife, Olori Ladun, who is said to be leaving no stone unturned for the  wedding proper which will come in December.

The wedding ceremony, which is known to many  friends of Olori Ladun will, from all indications, be an assembly of the merry-makers based on how the people hold  the bride's mother.

Princess Denrele  Sijuwade had her first degree from the Queen Mary University, London and a Masters in Business Management from Sir John Cass Business School. She was reported to have met her lover in the United kingdom.
