When Silekunola Naomi declared that her three-year love affair with the first-class monarch had come to an end in September 2022, the media erupted in excitement over the controversies that surrounded the marriage of the Ooni of Ife, Adeyeye Ogunwusi (Ojaja II), and his ex-wife.

In a message published on her verified Instagram account, the prophetess turned Olori claimed that while she had made efforts to make the union work, the monarch’s public persona was incompatible 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.”

Meanwhile, before Ooni’s marriage to her, he had had a daughter, Adeola Ogunwusi with his ex-wife, Omolara Olatunbosun in 1994.
Following the rumour that Naomi might return to the palace after she celebrated her 30th birthday, she cleared the air with The ANAEDOONLINE that she had moved on and didn’t want to join the six other oloris in the palace. This report highlights the six Ooni wives that he married after divorcing Naomi.
