In a rare and deeply emotional moment, the Olu of Warri, Ogiame Atuwatse III, shared a moving birthday message to his beloved wife, Olori Atuwatse III, capturing the hearts of many across the Warri Kingdom and beyond.
Taking to social media, the revered monarch poured out his soul in words that revealed not just admiration, but a profound and enduring love. “As we celebrate another year, I am filled with immense gratitude for all that the Almighty has done and continues to do in your life,” he began, setting the tone for what would become a poetic tribute to a woman who means everything to him.
He praised the Olori not only as a Queen full of “compassion, kindness, and generosity,” but also as the irreplaceable center of their home — “the heartbeat” of their family. As a mother, he honored her gentle strength and tireless patience in nurturing their children.
But it was his reflection on their relationship that moved many:
“You are the sunshine that brightens every day, the calm in every storm. Your love and laughter are joys that make my life richer, my heart fuller, and my spirit more at peace.”
This tribute offers a rare glimpse into the softer side of royalty — a king, vulnerable in love, honoring the woman who shares his throne, his home, and his heart.
Olori Atuwatse III remains a deeply admired figure within and beyond the Warri Kingdom, celebrated for her wisdom, grace, and charitable work. Together, their love story continues to inspire many — a bond of deep respect, enduring affection, and divine purpose.
