Ooni’s Estranged Wife, Prophetess Naomi, Receives Honorary Degree

Estranged wife of Ooni of Ife, Oba Enitan Ogunwusi, Prophetess Naomi Silekunola, has been conferred with an honorary Doctor of Philosophy from Myles Leadership University in the Benin Republic.

She shared the news on her Instagram page on Friday advising her followers to work hard and ignore the heat that will follow so they can receive the honours.

She wrote, “A glorious night it is, for me and my loved ones. I’m excited to announce to you that another feather just got added to my crown. Today, I got conferred with the award of honorary Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) by the prestigious Myles Leadership University.

“While you walk through this world, please work hard. The heat will come but soon the honours will follow. The road may be bumpy but with prayers and consistency, the ride would eventually become smooth.”

Prophetess Silekunola announced her divorce to the Ooni of Ife in December 2021.

While there were rumours that the couple have sorted out their differences but Oba Ogunwusi finalised his marriage rites to Olori Mariam Anako, who was led into the palace on Tuesday, 5th September 2022. There are rumours of another wife on the way.
