Meet The 24 Year Old Female King Who is Not Permitted To Give Birth

Olowo Moyinoluwa was 24 year old when she was crowned to rule over Ibulesoro kingdom of Ifedore Local Government Council in Ondo State, Nigeria after the death of her father who was the king.

Moyinoluwa is a graduate of Microbiology from Ondo State University of Science and Technology and a Christian who do not believe in fetish traditions. For that reason, she is always with her Bible and don't take part in any fetish traditions of the land.


How did she become the king?

According to her, she has older brothers who are supposed to ascend the throne but something happened. Her father the late king married two wives of which her mother happened to be the second wife. Her step mother gave birth to male children who are older than her. As the customs demand, the king's first son is the crowned prince while his first daughter is the crowned princess.

The first son of her step mother was made the crowned prince while she was made the crowned princess as the first daughter. She made it known that being the crowned prince is not a guarantee to becoming the king as the decision lies with the King Makers. She became the King in April last year on a temporary basis pending the final decision of the King Makers.

The tradition forbids her from bearing a child because even as a female King, what the people and the tradition believe is that, whoever sits on that throne is a man and shouldn't think of getting pregnant even if it's a Female sitting on that throne. That is one of the reasons she doesn't dress like a woman but like a man.
