Ooni of Ife has penned a prayerful message to celebrate one of his daughters, Princess Adewamiwa, as she clocks 16 today, the 20th of April 2023.
The proud father showered her 16 year old daughter with prayers from the depth of his heart, praying she will be preserved and live long to do great things in comfort.
The birthday message written in Yoruba dialect is roughly translated thus: Ọló̩jó̩ ìbí, Adéwámiwá ọmọ Ọò̩nirìṣà, olóríire ọmọ, ẹlé̩yinjú àánú, mo dúpé̩ l’ọ́wó̩ Olódùmarè fún ìgbésí ayé ẹ, láti ọjọ́ tí o ti dé ayé, títí di àkókò yí.
God will preserve you for us, you will live long, you will spend your time in comfort, you are 16 years old today, God will preserve your life for me, you will live and do great things in comfort. So you will be there!!
