The Oluwo of Iwo land, Oba
Abdurrosheed Adewale Akanbi Telu 1 declared he was done with marriage to his
Jamaican queen, on Decmber 15, 2019.
This is a monarch who would
constantly remind you of his love for his queen and even gave her a crown like
a king!
There was a time he also
labelled her as the most beautiful queen in the universe!
Born in Canada but raised
by a British mum and a Canadian father, Ms Chanel Chin must have married the
Oluwo of Iwo due to her love for Africa and an urge to understand the culture.
But she got it all wrong!
African monarchs are not tied to one woman. They are polygamists and they love
to have a harem of women.
“That was the initial
hiccups they had,” a palace source revealed exclusively to Kemi Ashefon.
“The Oluwo had a wife,
Olori Jumoke Akanbi with children, before he met his Jamaican Queen.
Maybe she forgot that she
can’t have him all to herself. She was so possessive of the King that he
abandoned his sons and Olori Jumoke.
If Queen Chanel thought she
could handle the king in his Iwo palace, she never knew there are other
concubines she could not trace or see when she wasn’t with him.
As a matter of fact, there
was a royal brouhaha in 2018 when she moved out of the palace after discovering
Kabiyesi was having an affair with a woman from Iwo!
She could not cope with the
idea of sharing her husband and the response of the monarch wasn’t encouraging
either.
So, Queen Chanel packed out
of the palace in 2018, her husband got furious and he also deleted all her
photos from his Instagram account.
Though he later debunked
the story of any problem with his marriage, Oluwo of Iwo wasn’t smart enough to
cover his philandering acts and after their reconciliation, the same trouble
started between the royal couple,” sources said.
The ex-queen, who obviously
didn’t want to embrace polygamy said in an interview granted to PUNCH in 2017
she would be sad at the idea of the king marrying another woman.
“How will you react if
Kabiyesi marries another wife?” she was asked.
Her response was, “Hummmm.
It is the culture here and there is nothing I can do. Although I won’t be
happy, I don’t think he wants to marry another wife. I will accept it because
it is part of the culture here. Although it is part of the culture here but
things are changing.
Polygamy is giving way to monogamy in this modern time and
I think it is a good one.”
If she was diplomatic enough
to answer that question, she threw caution to the wind when asked if she was
the first wife of the Oluwo of Iwo.
Her response?
“Yes. There is no other
wife.”
Palace sources said the
queen must have been uncomfortable with the king’s other wife, Jumoke Akanbi
and her children.
But before today’s divorce,
Olori Jumoke Akanbi, Oluwo of Iwo’s wife of 18 years was not officially
recognised by palace officials.
Well, things must have
fallen apart again between the controversial king and his ‘Oyinbo’ queen, who
could not share her man with other women. They called it quits.
She is said to have packed
out of the palace and the furious king who must have begged her as usual, took
the bull by the horn and declared her an ex queen.
In a statement by the Chief
Press Secretary to Oluwo Palace, Alli Ibraheem, the monarch said Chanel has
ceased to be his queen due to an irreconcilable difference.
The statement reads:
“This is to inform the
general public most especially friends and associates of the Oluwo of Iwoland,
His Imperial Majesty, Oba (Dr.) Abdulrosheed Adewale Akanbi, Telu I, that Ms
Chanel Chin is an ex-queen of his majesty.
“This information is
necessary for the attention of the general public to avoid representation on
proxy or accordance of respect attached to the sacred stool of Oluwo to her.
For personal irreconcilable
differences, Chanel Chin ceased to be his Majesty’s queen. We equally enjoin
the public to disregard any business transaction or request with her using the
office of his majesty.”
