Queen Naomi Silekunola announces ‘divorce’ from Ooni of Ife, explains reasons

Her Majesty, Queen Silekunola Naomi, has announced her separation from the Ooni of Ife Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi Ojaja II.

In a statement posted on her verified Instagram handle and Facebook page on Thursday, she announced an end to the three-year marriage.

According to her, she tried to make the union work but said the monarch’s public identity is at variance with “his true self”.

The fair-skinned 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.

"I never approached him with any revelation of any sort, as many believed he contacted me first and made his proposal known several months later.

“The marriage was not an arranged one, as many have misconstrued. I never knew the prophetess said to have introduced me to him. Instead, he introduced her to me after I agreed to marry him. I was only being polite out of respect for him.

“I have never been pregnant all my life before Tadenikawo; my son is my first ever pregnancy with medical reports to back it up. The girl who is said to be my daughter is my niece.”

The Ooni previously suffered a marital breakdown in 2017 when he split from Edo-born Zaynab-Otiti Obanor, whom he married as a monarch on March 16, 2016. Obanor’s marriage to the king lasted for 17 months before the separation.

He later married Silekunola in 2018 and the marriage produced a son, Tadenikawo.

The 47-year-old monarch also had a daughter with Omolara Olatubosun as a teenager. Olatubosun gave birth to Princess Adeola Ogunwusi but of recent, there have been counter-claims between the Ooni and Olatubosun over who was responsible for the upbringing of their daughter.

Matter arising.....

Something are better left alone.

Sad.

Maybe marriage is not his game.

Like this one wants to divorce again?

As much as men want to be responsible,only women can make a marriage to work.
She has already dropped a heir to the throne and through that she is going to be the indirect future king of that house.

Woooow! This is shocking. They looked so good together. I bet the ex wife is somewhere sipping wine and shaking her head

No No No, Not again,

Honestly this is not good at all for someone like our great king.

people are turning yoruba culture upside down with civilization this days,

In the olden days you dare not divorce a king unless HE divorce you,neither

will you rejects A KING proposal to you, in facts now a days you cant try it with

ALAAFIN OF OYO or some first class OBAS as well. this is becoming ridiculous,

NEVERTHELESS, i think BABA as well need to adjust and correct the error if HE himself

is the major problem to his matrimonial home, I PERSONALLY FEEL SAD FOR THIS.

Divorce..., The end of an error.
Just live your life. What comes comes, what goes, goes.

Ok

Soldier go soldier come, Barack remain the same. Wife go wife come Oni palace still remain the same. The king go soon find replacement ASAP. But this married people keep proving to us that marriage and relationship na Scam. His Royal highness needs to do some spiritual cleansing

Chai my namesake
So sad

Asides from the spiritual/religion differences, there's been news of ladies & babies.
When I see her sing praises of her husband in the media, I wondered how long she would continue to act "all is well" when it isn't well ni afin.
She's emotionally strong though.

May God console whatever pains this speration/divorce might cause you.

This not good news to the ears.

This is a confirmation that the problem is with the Ooni and not the women.

To burst your bubble Enitan Ogunw usi's son is definitely not going to be king.

The throne of Ife is rotational amongst about three or four dynastic roots

Hmmmmmm

Ooni should just leave marriage for now and focus more on the development of the whole of Osun state...

Not everybody would be a married man, he should count his lose, and find a lasting solution to what makes woman leaves him after 2-3years before he embark on another marital life.

I wish you well sir

she gave reasons? seriously?

was this marriage every supposed to happen in the first place?

Hmm... Something else is up and not because of the Oba's public identity or whatever she wrote up there..

Ooni don chop breakfast

Inside Life!
Something is obviously not right with Ooni Adeyeye, I remember one of his baby mama claim he's a very dramatic man.

Why are most Oba's enthroned by Tinubu's influence controversial? Ooni and Oluwo of Iwo comes to mind, something is wrong.

OMG is damn cute..


Meanwhile if you need urgent loan check my signature to proceed..

Hymmm marriage! Marriage is not a day celebration.

But why are they all divorcing him, Inspite of his riches and privileged position in the society? Is he that terrible a character? He laughs and talks kindly but it seems he's a terrible human being. I mean how many wives have gone now? 3 or 4? And he's still young! Haba na

Haba!
Na wa ooo; what exactly is the problem with this man's marital life? Now you see that neither money nor status can keep a marriage, it is only by God's grace. Waiting to know what the issue is this time around.

I think I will begin to fear women now, just the way some nairaland urchins believed, with money in hand, woman can fall for anything. I mean guy that goes against their "belief, ideology, even spec".

Uhmmmm! Money and fame not always bring Joy!
