Her Royal Highness, Queen Oladaran,Yeye Olori, (1970), The nearly 100 year old queen (consort) who outlived three (3) consecutive Owas speaks to a journalist (Bayo Olowokere). Her pet goat is close by.
She was a three (3) time consort to three 3 respective past Owas of Idanre land. Idanre in Ondo state, 250 miles North east of Lagos. It has natural attraction in a massive hill which walls the city. The town is also known for powerful juju men and the queen is feared by all.
Yeye Olori stood nearly six foot tall, had the aura and all the carriage of a queen to be obeyed by her people. She was consort to His Highness, Owa Adeboye Townojoye Arubiefin I, whom she had a daughter with; then became wife by inheritance of his son Oba Gbolagbeye Arubiefin II whom she bore 2 daughters. She also outlived the late Owa Oba Adegbule Aarojoye Arubiefin III (who died in 1970) for whom she had a son and a daughter.
That goat though...it is what the call 'Eran Agba...". Lol
