Ooni’s ex-wife, Queen Naomi says she’s single, waiting for a strong King
By Ishaya Ibrahim
Prophetess Naomi Silekunola, ex-wife to the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, has said she’s single and ready to mingle but only with a strong king.
In December 2021, Naomi walked out of her three year-old marriage to the Ooni.
She had announced on her Instagram handle: ”I, at this moment, announce that I shall no longer be referred to as wife to the Ooni of Ife or as Queen of Ile-Ife but as the Queen of the people and mother of my adorable Prince. Today, I announce the beginning of a new dawn and the close of a chapter. Today, I am a mother to God’s unique gift. I am no longer a slave to my thoughts of perfection,” she said.
In a recent interview with Punch Newspaper, the ex Ile Ife Queen said she’s a bride ready to be dressed up. She made the comment while answering a question about plans to remarry.
“It’s a different thing to be single and it is a different thing to be ready to mingle. But what I can say for sure is that I am a bride waiting to be dressed up,” she said.
She added: “You know, ‘Eni ti won gbe iyawo bo wa ba ko kin garun’. I don’t know how God plans to do it because He is my event planner. But there is a big event waiting to happen (if you are) talking about that aspect of my life. Hmmm, you see this queen, it will take a strong king to get me; I am single.”
Prophetess Naomi also ruled out the possibility of returning to the Ooni, who already has six wives after Naomi left.
“I am going to answer that question with a question. As I have been speaking to you for the past one hour, do I look like someone who can survive in the midst of six mature and strong women? No! She is but a soft, strong, gentle woman and I can’t be a square peg in a round hole,” she said.
