HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone.” Kemi Filani recalls that Olori Wuraola Zaynab Otiti-Obanor welcomed a bouncing baby girl with her new husband, an Arab prince. It was gathered that after the unceremonial end of her marriage to the Ife monarch, the Edo State Princess moved back to Doha, Qatar, where she started a brand new luxury life, running a good business and owning some of the biggest stores in Qatar. She was shuttling Lebanon and the United Arab Emirates, too. While in Qatar, she gave love another trial and married a rich Arab prince. An overwhelmed Zaynab, who could not hide her emotions when she welcomed her baby after years of waiting, chose to keep details about her new princess and the dad close to her chest. Kemi Filani also recalls that the Olori in 2017 talked about how marriage is not the definitive qualifier of women.
