  "account": "The Ooni of Ife, Adeyeye Ogunwusi, honored his ex-wife, Prophetess Naomi Silekunola, at her university graduation ceremony on Friday. Naomi, who graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in International Relations from Elizade University in Ondo State, donned a black graduation gown, cap, and sash during the event. The 76-year-old monarch arrived in royal attire, including a white crown and coral beads, and exchanged greetings with Naomi, who was accompanied by their son, Prince Tadenikawo. The Ooni presented two bundles of N1,000 notes to the boy during a photograph session. He praised Naomi's graduation as \"another beautiful milestone\" and prayed for a brighter future. Naomi had returned to college after a decade, passing the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board exam to secure her place. She and the Ooni married in 2018 and have one child. Despite their separation in December 2021, the monarch chose to celebrate Naomi's academic achievement.",
