The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, recently caused a stir by reuniting publicly with his estranged wife, Prophetess Naomi, and their son, Prince Tadenikawo, at the grand opening of his Ojaja Park in Akure. Prophetess Naomi, dressed in a stunning ensemble, attended alongside her son and was seen engaged in conversation with the Ooni, sparking discussions on a potential rekindling of their relationship.
The event showcased the Ooni’s significant cultural investments in Akure and included a “Night of Praise” celebration. Many of his other wives were present, but it was the interaction with Naomi that captured widespread attention. In one clip, Ooni was seen speaking tenderly to Naomi, with Prince Tadenikawo by their side, prompting fans to speculate that the King’s affections remain strong for her.
Naomi and the Ooni’s marriage officially ended in December 2022, when she announced their separation, citing personal reasons and hinting at palace challenges. Following the separation, the Ooni expanded his family by marrying six additional wives, including Olori Mariam and Olori Tobi, and welcomed three children with two of them.
The reunion in Akure quickly went viral, with social media buzzing about their connection and if it could signal reconciliation. Here’s how netizens reacted:
@ShadesOfGrains: “The way he looks at her—it’s clear the Ooni is still in love with Naomi.”
@Ire_Clothing: “This is beautiful to watch! I hope they come back together.”
