Ile Oodua on Tuesday announced the glorious transition of Queen Mariani Adeyemi Ogunwusi, the paternal grandmother of Arole Oodua and Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi (Ojaja II).
Survived by her only surviving son, Prince Oluropo Ogunwusi, and twelve grandchildren, the king's grandmother who had earlier lost her second child, Prince Isaac Olufemi Ogunwusi and her husband Prince Olaobaju Joseph Ogunwusi in 1995 and 1998 respectively died at exactly 4:30am in her house at Ile-Ife at the ripe age of 104 years.
It's noteworthy to state that the late Queen Ogunwusi fondly called MAMA ALASO might have had the premonition of her death as she had in the last one month been placing kabiyesi Ooni's picture on her chest either while sleeping or sitting always quoted saying ""GOD I THANK YOU FOR MAKING ME ALIVE TO WITNESS A DREAM OF OVER FORTY YEARS, AM NOW READY TO RETURN TO YOU IN HEAVEN FOR AN ETERNITY AND BE ABLE TO TELL MY HUSBAND OF THIS MANIFESTATION OF OUR 1974 DREAM".
A devoted Christian, generously accommodating community leader and loving mother of her children, she is also survived by eleven other successful grandchildren.
