Ooni’s ex-queen receives “Humanitarian of the Year” award at UN General Assembly week

Olori Wuraola, the former wife of the Ooni of Ife, was endowed with the “Humanitarian of the Year” award from “Kechie’s Project” at an event during the UN General Assembly week.

She shared the news on her Instagram page adding that her outstanding contributions to women and children across the globe earned her the award. See below.


"I accept this award for women, home and abroad- who refuse to be tamed and live their life unapologetically and get up after every stumble. You will fall. You will fail. You will be Ridiculed and you will be shamed. For choosing the road less traveled. For choosing the path to liberation. For choosing to rise above. For choosing to walk away from abuse of any kind. It is not an easy path. I’m here with you in prayer and in spirit." ___ Queen Zaynab awarded Humanitarian of the year at UN Week. #QueenZaynab #HHZaynab #HumanitarianoftheYear
