Queen Naomi
Morenike Naomi Silekunola Ogunwusi popularly known as Naomi Oluwaseyi is an Evangelist born on October 12, 1993.
She became the new wife of Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi on October 17, 2018. Naomi who was only known as a Prophetess, is now the queen of Ile Ife, Yeyeluwa Oodua.
Naomi is quite beautiful, gorgeous with a flawless skin to compliment, in fact it is right to say that the new found status really befits her.
I did my best to endure the marriage
The ex-queen wrote, “I did my best to endure and make it work; many times, I smiled through the struggle, but I have finally realised I had just one assignment, my son, and when God is done, He is done. He chose Saul to be king, and when He was done, He told the prophet Samuel I have moved on.
Religion was never an issue between us; please refer to my interview on News Central TV. Instead, His Majesty has a picture he would love the world to see and perceive him as and another one which is his true self.”
The evangelist then declared, “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. 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.”
Responding to some allegations, Silekunola said that her “decision to move on did not come because his majesty is married to another queen”.
She further explained, “As many would love to assume, throughout our life as a couple, I was the only married wife to him. There were side attractions, but it was never an issue. (Punch)
