Ooni Of Ife's Ex-wife Queen Naomi Makes A Bold Statement During 1st Public Event

Queen Naomi Silekunola, the estranged wife of the Ooni of Ife, created quite a buzz when she was seen in public with the first-class Yoruba king for the first time since their separation. On November 11, 2024, the former couple was spotted interacting during a public event in Akure, Ondo State, where the 31-year-old prophetess resides. Reports indicate that Naomi didn’t have to attend the event, but she chose to be there for their 4-year-old son, Tadenikawo, who was scheduled to spend quality time with his father and learn about the traditions.
The father-son reunion touched the hearts of many, especially through Tadenikawo’s interactions with the Ooni’s other wives, who showered him with money and affection. Surprisingly, Naomi’s interactions with the monarch were casual despite their shared history. However, they remained amicable and respectful, reflecting the saying that time heals all wounds, suggesting they may have put aside past grievances. If we were to make an educated guess, it would likely be for the sake of their son’s wellbeing. Nonetheless, many people disagree. They believe that Queen Naomi’s recent efforts at co-parenting with the Ooni might be connected to Queen Ashley Afolashade, the Ooni’s fourth wife, who recently welcomed a son with the monarch and has been promoting him as the crowned prince. To many observers, it seems that Queen Naomi’s actions might be a strategy to secure her son’s position as heir to the Ife throne.
