Of course when it comes to ascending the throne, female children cannot inherit the throne. But I am so proud of my daughters because there is no place where any of their male counterparts stand, my daughters will stand shoulder-to-shoulder with them,\u201d Olori boasted in the interview released on Wednesday and conducted in the Yoruba language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Olori\u2019s experience of successfully raising her three daughters has inspired her passionate love for the underprivileged and showing love to children through her Quality and Selfless Empowerment, QSE Foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"830\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/www.faithirabor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/OLORI-SEKI-AND-OBA-830x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9065\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.faithirabor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/OLORI-SEKI-AND-OBA-830x1024.jpg 830w, https:\/\/www.faithirabor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/OLORI-SEKI-AND-OBA-243x300.jpg 243w, https:\/\/www.faithirabor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/OLORI-SEKI-AND-OBA.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking passionately about the foundation which holds annual children&#8217;s parties, and always well attended by several children in the community and beyond, Olori Sekinat said: \u201cWe care for mothers and their children. We have also been able to help many women in the community. The face of the kingdom has really changed. We have been able to introduce some modernity into the way things are done.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fielding questions on how different women swarm around her charming and well-heeled husband; Olori Sekinat said she has never been bothered by this as she claimed that it is natural for her husband to be attracted to different women because of his look and status as a first class modern monarch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She however expressed confidence in her husband\u2019s love and knowing that he prioritises her above every other woman. \u201cGod has given me the virtues of patience and endurance since I was young.
