“I Can’t Survive Among Six Mature, Strong Women” – Queen Naomi Says She Won’t Return To Ooni’s Palace

Queen Silekunola Naomi, former wife of the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, said she won’t return to the monarch.

KanyiDaily recalls that Queen Naomi had announced the end of her three-year-old marriage with the Ooni on December 23, 2021.

The mother of one, who is a prophetess, disclosed that she tried to make their marriage work but the monarch’s public identity is clashing with his true self.

During a recent interview with PUNCH on Saturday, April 22, Queen Silekunola Naomi said she will not return to the palace because she cannot survive in the midst of the other six mature and strong wives of the monarch.

The monarch’s ex-wife, who confirmed that she is single, described herself as a bride waiting to be dressed up, and that it will take a strong king to get her.

She said, “It’s a different thing to be single and it is a different thing to be ready to mingle. But what I can say for sure is that I am a bride waiting to be dressed up.

“I don’t know how God plans to do it because He is my event planner. But there is a big event waiting to happen (if you are) talking about that aspect of my life. Hmmm, you see this queen, it will take a strong king to get me; I am single.

“I love surprising people. I want it to come and let everybody just wow! The world should just wait; there is something huge and beautiful”

On whether there is a possibility of reconciliation with the Ooni, she said, “I am going to answer that question with a question. As I have been speaking to you for the past one hour, do I look like someone who can survive in the midst of six mature and strong women? No! She is but a soft, strong, gentle woman and I can’t be a square peg in a round hole.”

Although Queen Naomi refused to give details of her experience with the Ooni of Ife, she described her stay in the palace as a “bittersweet” experience.

She said, “I am hesitant about speaking on my experiences in the palace. But in my usual way of talking, it was a bittersweet experience. Details, I will not be sharing, but it was a bittersweet experience. There were really sweet moments and there were really bitter moments.

“It is not yet time to talk about it because some things are meant to just teach you by yourself. I believe the messages are just for me at the moment, when God wants to enlarge and expand on it and make it a message for the whole world, then I will hear his words and talk about it.

“Lessons learned are personal and they have helped in shaping me. I am enjoying 30 so much; 30 makes me really strong. I am too innocent; I think I entered the palace too innocent and soft, but life is not like that, you have to be strong, bold and courageous.”

KanyiDaily recalls that Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi had revealed why he had married six wives within the space of two months, after his failed marriage to Queen Silekunola Naomi.
