Queen Silekunola Naomi, the former wife of the Ooni of Ife, Oba Enitan Ogunwusi, says she cannot remarry the monarch.

Naomi, who announced her divorce from Ooni in 2021, said she cannot survive in the midst of the traditional ruler’s six wives, adding that she is a soft and gentle woman.

She said this in an interview with Punch on Saturday, April 22.

The ex-monarch’s wife, who recently clocked 30, when asked if there is a possibility of reconciliation with Ooni, said: “I am going to answer that question with a question.

“As I have been speaking to you for the past one hour, do I look like someone who can survive in the midst of six mature and strong women? No!

“She is but a soft, strong, gentle woman and I can’t be a square peg in a round hole.”

Naomi, when asked if she is ready to remarry, said: It’s a different thing to be single and it is a different thing to be ready to mingle. But what I can say for sure is that I am a bride waiting to be dressed up.

“You know, ‘Eni ti won gbe iyawo bo wa ba ko kin garun’. I don’t know how God plans to do it because He is my event planner.

“But there is a big event waiting to happen (if you are) talking about that aspect of my life.

“Hmmm, you see this queen, it will take a strong king to get me; I am single,” she stated.

The Star recalls that Ooni, in October 2022, married his sixth wife, Temitope Adesegun Ogunwusi.

The marriage came barely a few days after Ooni married his fifth wife, Princess Aderonke Ademiluyi, who hails from a royal family, in Ile-Ife, Osun State.

The traditional ruler had earlier married Mariam Anako from Kogi State and Ashley Adegoke, who hails from Lafogido royal house in Ile-Ife.

The other wives of Ooni include Elizabeth Akinmuda and Tobi Phillips.

The monarch had earlier married Adebukola Bombata in 2008 but the marriage failed.

He later married Edo-born Zainab-Otiti Obanor in 2016 but the union lasted for 17 months before their separation.

The traditional ruler married Naomi in 2018 but the marriage ended in December 2021.

Naomi, who announced her divorce from Ooni via an Instagram post, said the divorce was not because of “side attractions” or other lovers, as many opined.

She stressed that her marriage was not arranged, adding that the circumstances were misconstrued by many.
