Ooni And Ex Wife

 

OpenLife News reports that the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, Ojaja II and ex wife, on Friday at convocation ceremony exchanged lovely and romantic gestures.
It was a moment many did not expect to see.

At the event, the Ooni turned up in full royal regalia to celebrate his former wife, Prophetess Naomi Silekunola, as she graduated from Elizade University on Friday, November 13, 2026.

Naomi bagged a degree in International Relations after four years of full-time study, combining motherhood with academics. She had revealed ahead of the ceremony that she sat the JAMB examination again after more than a decade to gain admission. bb9e

The convocation was Elizade University’s combined 10th and 11th ceremony, covering 964 graduands, including 116 First Class graduates.

In a video that has gone viral, Naomi, dressed in her black graduation gown, cap with yellow tassel, and a green-yellow academic sash, is seen smiling brightly as she stands beside a white car, surrounded by a large crowd.

Their son, Prince Tadenikawo, is with them, wearing a white Mickey Mouse t-shirt and denim shorts.

The Ooni, dressed in all-white royal attire with his white crown, coral beads and a large white ceremonial umbrella held over him, walks up to them.

In the clip, the monarch is seen warmly engaging Naomi, exchanging pleasantries, and then bringing out bundles of N1,000 notes and handing them to their son as they posed for photographs.

Naomi is seen laughing, smiling and responding warmly, while palace aides, family members and onlookers crowd around them, filming the reunion on their phones.

A reunion years after separation:

The Ooni and Naomi got married in October 2018. Their marriage produced Prince Tadenikawo. The former queen announced their separation on December 23, 2021.

Five years after that separation, Friday’s appearance was widely seen as a public show of maturity, co-parenting and mutual respect — a father and former husband showing up to honour the mother of his child on one of the biggest days of her life.

The video, first shared by gospel musician Dare Justified, who described it as an incredible and memorable experience, has since gone viral, with many Nigerians praising the Ooni for celebrating Naomi despite their separation.
