The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, appears to have lost another marriage.
Her Olori, Silekunola Naomi, has declared that they are no more husband and wife.
The Ooni had previously lost his marriage to Edo-born Zaynab-Otiti Obanor, whom he married as a monarch on March 16, 2016.
He later married Silekunola in 2018 and the marriage produced a son, Tadenikawo.
But Silekunola, an evangelist, said in an online announcement on Thursday that she has moved on as she can no more endure certain things.
According to her, the monarch is not what he shows to the public, and she did all she could to save the union.
She says in an IG and Facebook post: “I did my best to endure and make it work; many times, I smiled through the struggle, but I have finally realised I had just one assignment, my son, and when God is done, He is done. He chose Saul to be king, and when He was done, He told the prophet Samuel I have moved on. Religion was never an issue between us; please refer to my interview on News Central TV. Instead, His Majesty has a picture he would love the world to see and perceive him as and another one which is his true self.

“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. 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.”
