Sekinat Ajoke, the first wife of Saheed Ademola Elegushi,
Elegushi of Ikate, says she is not bothered by her husband’s love for women.
Elegushi and Sekinat tied the knot in 2003. The union is
blessed with three children — all female.
In an interview with BBC Yoruba, Sekinat said she knew at
the beginning of their relationship that the monarch loves women.
The queen, who argued that all men are promiscuous, said she
decided to continue with the relationship because of her love for him.
“My mum had a shop at
Lagos Island. That’s where the king saw me and picked interest in me…I gave him
a chance and we became friends,” she said.
“However, I told him that I had a boyfriend at the time but
he said there’s no problem with that since we’re only going to be friends.
“Whenever I tell him that I’m going to see my boyfriend, he
usually insist on accompanying me there. In fact, he knew my boyfriend then.
“In 2003, he (Oba
Elegushi) proposed to me. I love him and he also loves me… despite the fact
that he had other women in his life.
“For someone like him who loves women, I ought to have
turned him down that I cannot cope but we got along till he proposed and we got
married.”
The monarch took a second wife in 2019.
Reflecting on how she copes with the monarch’s love for
women, she said: “God has given me a patient and enduring spirit since
childhood, my husband knows that I don’t disturb him on issues that have to do
with women.
“That is because I
know he truly loves me, and he always puts me first. So, I’m not scared because
I know no one can take my place.
“It’s basically all men, it does not have to do with my
husband alone. It is now left for the wife at home to handle the situation
well. There is no man that is not promiscuous, it’s not possible except those
that are yet to be born.”
