The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, has reiterated a belief that all women are witches and manipulators.
Ooni said every woman possesses a witchcraft spirit, noting that all women have a manipulative spirit.
The revered monarch said this while hosting the cast of the reality show, Real Housewives of Lagos (RHOL), in his palace on Thursday, November 30.
In a viral video, prominent cast members, including Iyabo Ojo, Chioma Ikokwu, and Tania Omotayo engaged with the traditional ruler in his palace.
Speaking, Ooni said he believes all women possess a spirit of witchcraft, stressing that the spirit is associated with manipulation.

He said: “The black people would say witchcraft. Every woman has that witchcraft spirit in them but know people just probably think it is a negative thing. But witchcraft is all about manipulation.
“If you know how to manipulate very well, that is the power of a woman. You have a natural manipulative spirit and you should manipulate in a very positive way.”
Responding, Iyabo Ojo sought clarification, asking whether the king meant that all women were witches.
Ooni, therefore, affirmed this but swiftly added that women are “good witches”.
