Alaafin of Oyo Celebrates his 77th Birthday with Balloons, Cake & his Teenage Wife

The Alaafin of Oyo – Oba Lamidi Adeyemi III may be turning 77, but he is still young at heart.

The traditional ruler celebrated his birthday – October 15, 2015, and wore a sash that reads, “It’s my Birthday” while he struck a relaxed pose with his last wife, amidst balloons and cake. If you look closely, the letter balloons behind him also spell out his title, A-L-A-A-F-I-N.

The queen’s name is Olori Badirat Adeyemi, she is a teenager, who started University this year. 

Here are some photos from her matriculation party in 2015.
