Earlier on Thursday, the queen took to her Instagram handle to disclose, “I shall no
longer be referred to as wife of the Ooni of Ife or as Queen of Ile-Ife” as she described
herself as the Queen of the people and mother of her son.
Naomi further alleged the hypocrisy of the monarch, stating that Ooni’s public
perception is a disguise of his true character.
Her post reads, “I bless the Lord almighty for His faithfulness in the last 3 years of my
marriage. In life’s journey, it isn’t how far. Still, how well, indeed though Satan should
buffet if trials should come, I have this blessed assurance controlling all situations and
saying to me it is well with my soul. Certainly, it is well. I made my journey into the
ancient throne of Ife with faith in my heart and love for the keeper of it.
“Few impressions I would love to correct. If anyone knows otherwise, they are free to
come up with facts. Let it be known that this decision to move on did not come because
his majesty is married to another queen. As many would love to assume, throughout our
life as a couple, I was the only married wife to him. There were side attractions, but it
was never an issue.
”I never approached him with any revelation of any sort, as many believed he contacted
me first and made his proposal known several months later.”
“The marriage was not an arranged one, as many have misconstrued. I never knew the
prophetess said to have introduced me to him. Instead, he introduced her to me after I
agreed to marry him. I was only being polite out of respect for him.”
“I have never been pregnant all my life before Tadenikawo; my son is my first ever
pregnancy with medical reports to back it up. The girl who is said to be my daughter is
my niece. I did my best to endure and make it work; many times, I smiled through the struggle, but I have finally realized 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.”
She further went on to say..
“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.”
“He is God’s way of saying I know about it all. In situations like this, there will be
aggrieved persons. I, at this moment, appeal to all parties involved to allow the peace of
God with the consciousness that there is a lovely little boy between us. I thank all of my
prayer partners and loved ones. I remain committed to all of my projects, charity work
and ministry. In this new season, I shall be focusing on God only,” she added.
Meanwhile different prominent figures have been reacting to this ordeal as some were
quick to pick sides and criticize the queen, as in the case of one actor Ogbolor who was
quoted saying
“ Be careful of the things you say when in high spirits, those words may come back to
hunt you.”
“which one is my marriage was ordained by God, then next thing you divorce later. Did
God change his mind? Or from the start, you simply used God’s name to make it look
good”
However sources from the Ooni’s palace in ile-ife discloses that the king sent Christmas
gifts to his queen before the notice of divorce on social media. Maybe it’s true her account was hacked or she made the statement herself in no time
the whole truth will be out.
We are keeping our fingers crossed.
