Queen Zynab Moved on

In a quest to keep impacting her immediate environment and continent through her foundation, Ex-wife of Ooni of Ife, Queen Zaynab met with United Arab Emirate’s Minister of Economy, His Excellency Sultan Bin Saeed Al Mansoori to formalize the beginning of international relations with the UAE Economic sector to improve economic and cultural relations between the United Arab Emirates and several African nations.
The Bridge, under the patronage of Her Highness, Queen Zaynab is an African Arab organization formed to promote & improve cultural and international relations between Arab countries in the Middle East & Africa.

His Excellency, Sultan Bin Saeed Al Mansoori pledged his co-operation with Her Highness and relevant ministries to aid in (social and economic) developments of international and regional activities that will enhance and improve trade exchange and dealings between the Arab world and Africa.

Few months ago, the media has been awash with the story of the crashed marriage of the Ooni of Ife, His Imperial Majesty, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi to his ex-wife, Olori Wuraola.
When the woman of substance, who is now addressed as Queen Zynab, decided to walk out of the marriage, many could not fathom the reason for her action. Many had sneered at her, thinking that she might eventually go into obscurity.

But recent developments may have proved her critics wrong, as she seems to have put the doleful experience behind her and moved on.
Indeed, her fans could not have been happier when she participated at the recently held 72nd session of United Nations General Assembly, where she was endowed with the “Humanitarian of the Year” award from “Kechie’s Project” at an event during the UNGA week for her outstanding contributions to women and children across the globe.

It will be recalled that she was also part of the United Nations delegates to a conference in New York, United States in April, where she shared her views on ‘Safeguarding and protecting the endangered cultural heritage in time of conflict.
The beautiful lady has remained focused and has not allowed the misfortune of her short-lived marriage weigh her down, as she continues with her humanitarian services.

Humble and respectful, Queen Zynab never trivializes the teachings of the holy Bible, which include that the rich should be a source of joy to the needy. In fact, it is said that her philosophy of life is deeply rooted in the aphorism that wealth is nothing if it cannot be used for the advancement of society and mankind.
