Ooni graces ex-wife Naomi’s graduation at Elizade University

The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, has attended the convocation ceremony of his former wife, Prophetess Naomi Silekunola, at Elizade University in Ondo State, TVC News reports.

Silekunola earned a degree in International Relations after four years of full-time study at the private institution.

She revealed that she returned to sit the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) examination after more than a decade to gain admission, and spoke about combining motherhood with her academic pursuits.

Gospel singer Dare Justified, in a post on Instagram, said the monarch was present at the ceremony alongside family members and friends to celebrate the milestone, and congratulated the new graduate.

The university held a joint convocation for its 10th and 11th graduating sets, with 964 students receiving degrees, 116 of them with First Class honours, according to the report.

Ogunwusi and Silekunola married in October 2018, but the former queen announced their separation in December 2021. The former couple have a son, Tadenikawo.
