Ooni celebrates ex-wife, Naomi at convocation

On Friday, the Ooni of Ife, Adeyeye Ogunwusi, joined family and friends to celebrate his ex-wife, Prophetess Naomi Silekunola, at her convocation ceremony at Elizade University in Ondo State. The monarch, dressed in traditional white regalia, offered congratulations to Naomi, who had just received a Bachelor of Science degree in International Relations.

Naomi, dressed in a black graduation gown, cap, and sash, had returned to school after over a decade and completed her degree through the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board examination. The celebration honored Naomi's resilience and determination, as she balanced motherhood with full-time studies. The Ooni and Naomi, married since October 2018, welcomed their son, Prince Tadenikawo, in November 2020. Their separation was announced in December 2021.
