One of the things the Ooni of Ife is popular for is his number of wives. One of his wives, Prophetess Silekunola Naomi Ogunwusi, left him months ago and people are speculating that she will return.
Now, Prophetess Naomi says there is no going back.
She has ruled out any possibility of reconciling with the monarch and returning to the palace.
Naomi had published her break-up with Oba Ogunwusi on her social media handles on Thursday, December 23.
”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.
Too Soft To Cope
In September 2022, the monarch began picking new wives and has so far picked six women as wives.
In a recent interview with the Punch, Naomi who is the mother of the crowned prince, Tadenikawo, ruled out going back to the palace.
She said that the ‘monarch now has six strong women in the palace and believes she is too soft to cope there’.

She said she had no regrets about her failed marriage to the Ooni but had taken all the lessons. They have shaped her, she says.
