The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, and his estranged wife, Prophetess Naomi Silekunola, ignited a wave of intrigue and emotion as they reunited under the public gaze for the first time in years, alongside their young son, Prince Tadenikawo.
The high-stakes reunion unfolded at the lavish inauguration of the Ooni’s latest venture, the iconic Ojaja Park in Akure, Ondo State—a sprawling complex embodying the monarch’s grand vision with its five-star hotel, entertainment center, children’s park, shopping mall, school, and luxurious estates.
On Sunday, November 11, Naomi’s arrival at the night of praise, a ceremony woven into the opening festivities, left attendees abuzz.
With Tadenikawo at her side, Naomi, in viral video, approached the Ooni, who was surrounded by his new wives, those he wed following their separation in December 2021.
In a powerful display of cultural tradition and humility, Naomi knelt before the monarch, a gesture rich with respect and the unspoken nuances of their shared history.
For a fleeting moment, their pleasantries bridged the silence of years past, while onlookers observed the exchange with bated breath, sensing a blend of reconciliation, dignity, and the undeniable pull of old bonds.
Prince Tadenikawo, who served as a symbolic bridge between his separated parents, became the center of attention as he moved through the vibrant celebration.
Smiling onlookers and well-wishers surrounded him, and he was blessed with cash gifts in a show of admiration and goodwill.
