What to know about the founder of Oyotunji, a Yoruba kingdom in the United States of America, his many wives and how his son took over as king after his demise

In the 1970s, American-born Serge King established a Yoruba kingdom called Oyotunji in the United States and ruled it as a king, taking the name Oseijeman Adefunmi.

Years before his conversion, Adefunmi discovered that he was a descendant of a Yoruba ancestor enslaved during the transatlantic slave trade.

At the time, he worked as a graphic designer and nightclub dancer and was married to a Dutch model. His growing interest in black nationalism later took him to Cuba, where he became a priest.

On returning to the US, he purchased land in Beaufort County, South Carolina, and founded a self-governing community that practised its own political and social systems based on Yoruba culture.

He divorced his white wife, citing incompatibility with his commitment to black nationalism. As king of Oyotunji, he went on to marry five wives, all of whom lived within the kingdom.

The community generated income by offering spiritual assistance to Black Americans outside Oyotunji who believed in gods and devils, earning about $80 a month from this practice.

Marriage within the community was regulated. Men had to be at least 28 years old, while their wives were required to be 10 years younger. Women were not permitted to have children outside marriage.

While mu-rder cases were referred to the American legal system, the kingdom handled burglary and r--ape cases internally, imposing fines of between $80 and $100.

Explaining the experiment, the king said, “We are trying to live the same life as the Africans.”

Adefunmi remained the king of Oyotunji until he died in 2005, and was succeeded by his son, Oba Adejuyigbe Adefunmi II.
