Nigeria’s most effervescent monarch, Oba Saheed Ademola Elegushi, Kusenla 111, the Elegushi of Ikateland, and his beautiful, stylish and drop-dead gorgeous wife, Olori Sekinat Aramide (nee Ipaye) celebrate their 17th wedding anniversary today, Sunday, May 24, 2020.

Quite unlike their wedding ceremony, which was celebrated with so much pageantry in 2003, the 17th wedding anniversary will be devoid of fanfare, as the couple has shunned any form of celebration. Rather, they opt for a special prayer, which is strictly a family affair.

The Lagos monarch took to his Instagram page to celebrate his wife, “Which of the favours of Allah shall we deny? (Quran 55 vs 13). 17 years ago, when we started this journey, it was with mixed feelings; one, there was love, true love that existed between us; secondly, the anxiety that comes with two young minds deciding to live as one.
From our humble and modest beginning, we’ve come this far and gotten better and proven to the world that ours is an inimitable choice.
Join me in thanking my Olori for all she has been. I thank you for our amazing Angels; I thank you for the peace; I thank you for the love; I thank you for bringing finesse, panache and reverence to this Stool and the kingdom; I thank you for your firm belief in our collective dream.
Only you could have started and steered this ship. 
I pray Almighty Allah will continue to keep us safe in love, sound in good health and successful in all our affairs, till forever. 
Happy Anniversary to us. – #regrann

Oba Elegushi and Olori Aramide are childhood sweethearts. They met during their undergraduate days in Lagos. The bond they shared was so strong back then that, their friends knew that it would result into marriage. Seventeen years down the line, the bond keeps waxing stronger and the couple seems determined to maintain that tempo of love. The union is blessed with three children.

Blessed with an affable nature, humble disposition and a stunning personae, Olori Aramide has built an enviable reputation as the most stylish queen in Nigeria. She always stands out whenever she steps out at an event.
