This is Oba Muhammed Qozeem Ilufemiloye the Olowu of Owu Ile in Osun State, he attended a function where this photo was papped and the two people covered up to their finger tips by his side are his wives.....
You might have seen this photo viral yesterday but i saw it last night and spent a good amount of time starring at it and wondering if these women are happy!
My gosh,the Oba is so handsome and we all can see that but i am sorry I do not understand why these women are covered up and i cannot help wondering if this is how they will be for the rest of their lives.....
Please i need to be made to understand why these women must be covered up like this..Is it that they are too beautiful and no one must see them? Or are they covered up to keep men off them whilst his eyes rove for more wives?
I dont know if this has to do with the Obas tradition or his faith and i do not mean any disrespect on any tribe or religion,I just need explanations.
Eyaa
ReplyDeleteThis isin't yoruba tradition; more to do with their religious believe.
DeleteStella, why are you acting all shocked? Staunch muslim women all around the world cover up this way naa.
All the best to them.
Click my name for all your celebration cakes and cupcakes, cheers
Nope! They are covered up so no other man will look at their beauty or ugliness except the on a their husband but see the mumu irony other people can scope the oba. Infact e fit knack other women but these ojujucalaba wives dare not.
DeleteLol, Stella u wicked o! So d oba is so handsome? E b like na handisome u mean.
DeleteI can't fit shout!!!
Kiekiekiekiekiekiekieki u people, indeed handsome.... On a serious this looks creepy, covering hands as well with all the heat, nawa ooooooo
DeleteThedoloresallenwish.blogspot.co.uk
All I think of is the heat.
DeleteStella what is so handsome about the oba???? I pity the women. I'd rather remain unmarried than marry and have to end up covering like this.
DeleteLmao!
ReplyDeleteSo nobody noticed his extremely long fingers? Like umbrella 'spoke'
DeleteShe's Electric, you'ré weird, had to go back and look at the fingers. Lol. Long fingers are elegant ha!
DeleteTwo Nija ninjas guarding him.
ReplyDeleteLmao!!!
DeleteLiving in boundage
DeleteYes your spelling is living on 'boundage'
DeleteIf u need explanations write the Oba himself. Don't disturb us no be we cover our face. Abi u dey fear to contact d oba directly? Lol
ReplyDeleteStella abeg do investigation oo
ReplyDeletethe matharoo sisters had to flee naija because some shook housewives wanted to have them arrested under the guise that they were involved in criminal activity
Kwakwakwakwa...you don't say?...
DeleteStella, the women are called eleha. Nobody is expected to see any part of their body except their husband.
ReplyDeleteIt's his faith.
To me, it's suffer abeg. Ha!
WTH is this?...
ReplyDeleteOlorun maje!!...are they ghost??...
Someone dressed like this in a Nigerian weather that can melt a stone...
Tufiakwa!...which nonsense culture is this?..this is slavery mehn...

Do you know,i kept staring like I have seen his pix somewhere..
DeleteHe looks so much like T-Billz.
No o, for a moment I thought it was the second muffin brother, the slim one.
DeleteHahahahahahahahahahaha!
DeleteTiwa get in here.
Stella don't mind the stingy king jaree, common their hands he nor gree make us see, self-center oba...
ReplyDeleteToolz and her husband should go for deliverance becoz the amount of witchcraft and demons that followed all these Obas to their wedding will linger on. Too many fetish yoruba things the physical eyes don't see. These are serious occultic men in covens coming as guests to a wedding. Yet people are up and down IG shouting like big names and influential kings attended. Not knowing na demonic gathering.
ReplyDeleteToolz sef was born into witchcraft family. They themselves are alawos, nevermind the guests.
DeleteLol @ demonic gathering.
DeleteI guess your 1 to know how the witches and demon move around!
DeleteSo if your father is a king and he attends your wedding, he is bringing demons to attend the wedding as well? Taaaaa comot for hia.
DeleteIt takes one witch to know another.
DeleteSlavery In The Name Of Marriage
ReplyDeleteNa wah ooo!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis one na punishment ooo!
I wonder how comfortable they are in this outfit??
Female suicide bombers alert!
ReplyDeleteNa wa o!
ReplyDeleteStella simple as ABCD it is their religion and it isnt compulsory for a woman to cover her face ,the choice is always the woman not the man ,the woman chooses to cover her face or not .Its only in saudi arabia and some yemeni women that is compulsory as long as you live there to cover face.their religon ,people mistake religion for culture ,Nigerians can over copy .Arabs it is their culture to cover their head even the christians abeg i don tire to type
ReplyDeleteAbeg, tell them o
DeleteIs it just me or the oba looks like Teebillz aka tiwa savage's husband? Very interesting photo. I no get comment. Lool
ReplyDeleteThese are Muslims Stella!
ReplyDeleteI don't know much about this, but I think its more of a religious than cultural thing. Personally NOTHING and NO ONE can make me cover up like this, but to each his own. #mindingmyownbusiness
ReplyDeleteIn Nigeria, a married woman but b a slave to stay married. Jst very few men allow der women live freelives but his family members mustn't know. Marriage is slavery in nigeria.

DeleteUr reply is just too funny but you are so correct.
DeleteSome women can sell they souls to the devil because of money and marriage. Those two could be sisters or related and he might be using destiny.

ReplyDeleteDatz wat dia religion thought dem nd dey r puting it into practise.
Enslavement of women folk.
ReplyDeleteStella stop acting like you aren't a Nigerian. That's a tradition known as Puddah or something. Only the husband knows how their wives looks like.
ReplyDeleteIt's more of a religion thing...
ReplyDeleteBurr please after all the traditional rites he must have gone through to become king?
He should swerve abeg. Be claiming a "Muslim king" #yimu.
All these head covering sef..at NYSC camp, that's how I saw one guy fondling a girl under her hijab. Very erotic tho.

ReplyDeleteLol.
ReplyDeleteOjuju calabar...I don't understand this too..nawaoo
ReplyDeletena wa oo
ReplyDeleteHahahahhaha....I just had to laugh biko.
ReplyDeleteThe women are just objects to him naa. Religion.
ReplyDeleteThey are called ELEHA in Islam. I don't know why sha!
ReplyDeleteThey only cover up when they're going outside their home.
ReplyDeleteIt's not the obas tradition or faith.
I think it has to do with muslim religion. It's not only wives of obas that do it.
Me I need to know more about it.
Thats why they are very backwards.
ReplyDeletelolzz.
ReplyDeleteHa this one don turn punishment o
ReplyDeleteThey even wore gloves !
Mrs Stella, you can't judge from mere seeing someone whether the person is happy or not. These women don't cover up like this all their lives. When they are home with there husbands, they expose their body and when they are out they cover up their body. Most people that cover their faces are extremely beautiful and they do so to prevent men from staring at how beautiful they are. Please learn to respect other people belief and stop the mockery. Tx
ReplyDeleteWell, the full covering is not part of African culture nor part of Islam..But.of the middle eastern culture due to our harsh weather,(dust storm and sand storm )
ReplyDeleteIslam say dress modesty(cover your hair and your bossom)
It didn't say dress like a ninja.
Buqa/nicab was mentioned 11times in the Quran it was never mention for women to use but of barricade to separate something ..It's can also mean mask/hood meant for falcon
Some of these women wear the veil to protect their identities and also to brighten their skin
Do not mind my English(Arabic is my first language)
Bedouin girl .
Stella its religion. which we are fine with. my question however is do they go out? The picture sure looks somehow and not very pleasing but i guess its their world and their lives.
ReplyDeleteBeing humane too maybe they also want to go out and have fun.
Sincerely i don't know please let me not dabble into something that is not my business.
The women ar like slaves to him
ReplyDeleteTheu they are called eleha. Mostly married to Muslim clerics
ReplyDeleteIslam preaches modesty, that a woman should cover all her body except the face, hand and legs.complete covering like above is a matter of choice by the woman and not compulsory.
ReplyDeleteIslam did not say dress like masquerade ...
DeleteThe above is not part of Islam...
It's middle eastern culture ...
You don't see white folks claiming agbada garb as there own
Dem for kukuma stay inside house na..must they escort him to d wedding...ndi erah kwodon
ReplyDeleteWait...o,how them go take chop for the occasion if they give them food?
DeleteAll I see is their cheap purse
ReplyDeleteAbeg spend some money on your wives

Stella I feel most ppl have explained to u y women wear nikaf well I feel from ur comment u were sounding scarstically , I wont to let u knw that most Muslim women in this country don't wear nikaf they wear veils or other coverings those u see who dress like that want it by choice and their husband can bot force them to dress like that it is their choice and I feel as a woman u shld respect that at least they feel comfortable in what they are wearing and they are modest
ReplyDelete@anon talking about demons to a wedding,I tot someone just advised u pple unto this deliverance dis and dat sh#t talk on every small ting?how ridiculous can u be to say d obas brought demonic spirits so the couple should do prayers?so it's riff raffs that don't bring bad spirits huh?if u must know,theirs is in legions!#rme
ReplyDeleteMay God deliver u from MFM mindset,cos I know they are the ones teaching u pple this awkward behavior and tot pattern.
Ghost wives.
ReplyDeleteI entered the bus with one of these things and the bus was quite until it came down. People were scared to death. We don't get to see things like things here. We all had our eyes and eyes open incase we hear anything Arabic or see any wire, we would have jumped out of a moving bus. It is well!
ReplyDeleteHe can't force t hem to cover up. It's a muslim thing and some women even cover up before they get married.

ReplyDeleteJemima John, where are ur manners? Everyone can't be the same and just cos a woman like you choose to cover every part of their body doesn't make her a "thing". And being a muslim doesn't make one a killer. Be informed
ReplyDeleteWell, I got a whatsApp buzz to comment on your blog post. I was a bit dissapointed when the page loaded on my browser because I thought it was a serious issue being discussed.
ReplyDeleteBut for the sake of enlightenment, first, I think it's totally hypocritical for anyone in Nigeria -and even almost anywhere- not to be accustomed to this religious mode of dressing by now. It's been before we were born, we've seen them all along, and it will be after we are no more. Simplito, it is their religion! Religion is attached to the heart of human, so don't try to joke with it. Even one of our present Ministers has his wife dressing like this, so what's the ish when it comes to an Oba. Just stick it in, when it comes to religion, it's a heart matter. That's why you can see a President kneeling down to be prayed for by a Pastor. Its cos in his heart is the believe that he is nobody before whom he worships.
Secondly, full covering of the body is a command to Islamic women adherents, so they are dressed that way to obey and please their Lord, and not compelled by any human. It protects them and earn them respects anyway. If you feel they will be feeling hot or uneasy, it's just your idea. Approach them and they will enlighten you better. And oh, they can see just anything anyone can see. They are not blindfolded.
Lastly, when will you get bewildered by the wanton nudity in the society? Isnt that a fall in human maturity and civilization? At the begining, Adam and Eve were naked, then human civilization started and they started using leaves to cover small part that it can cover, civilization continues, different materias including animal skin were used to cover more areas. Civilization later brought about discovery of cotton and the like to make clothes, then humans were able to cover more parts of their body. Don't you think this covering of the whole body is a height in human civilization? If you don't, I do because covering more parts has a link with advancement in civilization when we trace the history of man.
