Badirat Adeyemi, the ex-wife to Lamidi Olayiwola Adeyemi III, the late Alaafin of Oyo, has spoken about her personal growth despite difficulties.

In a post via Instagram on Monday, Adeyemi said she had been through so much. She, however, added that she is satisfied and happy.

Badirat also expressed gratitude to God for helping her become a better person.

“I’ve been through so much. I’m just happy to be happy,” she wrote.

“I love the direction where my life is headed. Thank you God for making me a better person day by day 😍🤍.”

Adeyemi got married to Alaafin in 2018 at the age of 19.

The marriage, however, hit the rock two years later over alleged reports of cheating on Adeyemi’s part.

The union was blessed with three boys.

The long-reigning monarch died in April 2022 at the Afe Babalola Teaching Hospital in Ado Ekiti. He was aged 83 and ruled for over 50 years.

Paying tribute to him, Badirat said she received news of his death with shock.

She added that her marriage to the monarch was sabotaged because she was his favourite.
