July 20, (THEWILL) – Socialite and Fisolak Global Resources boss, Princess Toyin Kolade, has been crowned as the Iyalaje Oodua or Head of market women and men in Yorubaland by the Oni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi. The installation ceremony, which took place in Ile-Ife on Saturday July 17, 2021 had top political officials, business moguls, captains of industry, socialites and royal fathers in attendance.
All were present to celebrate with the lady of style. It was gathered that the Oni of Ife waited to celebrate the Aje Festival, which took place in February, before fixing a date for Iyalaje’s coronation. As the new Iyalaje of Oodua, Princess Kolade will oversee and monitor all market women and men in Yoruba land. It was gathered that the title was bestowed on her for her unflinching support and loyalty to the Oni. She has also been actively involved in a campaign to revitalise Yoruba culture and tradition, a cause His Imperial Majesty, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi is so passionate about.
That is why she has been shuttling between Lagos and Ile- Ife in order to offer her support to the monarch. This is not the first chieftaincy title the beautiful business woman would be having. She is also the Iyalaje of Apapa where she plays a big role in the import business.
