Nigerians Reacts To Divorce Report of Ooni of Ife

Some Nigerians have taken to social media platforms to react to the “divorce” of Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, Ojaja II and Prophetess Naomi Silekunola.

While some lauded the ex-queen for her decision to take a bow out of the royal home, some took swipe at the monarch over the pregnable statement issued by the Prophetess on the personality of the the foremost traditional ruler, which according to the mother of Crown prince is different from the image he is portraying to the world.

Below are some of the reactions:

An Instagram user, Asologe wrote, “What is hidden to man, God clearly sees all. We didn’t love you because you were the Queen. We loved you for YOU! We loved your personality! We loved your Person. God bless and guide you on your new path. We clearly also can tell where the problem is.”

Another user, aderiounke posted, “It is well with you. Not that it matters, but I am solidly in support of whatever decisions you make for the sake of your mental and emotional health. Inú yín á dùn kalé.”

Oluwabusiolahmie stated, “Thank you for the honesty, Queen. Marriage is the most loving and also hardest institution to be put through. I know your decision to move ahead would have been a tough one. God continue to keep and bless your prince.”

Some sets of persons noted that the Ooni might possibly be the source of the problem and not the women who are leaving him.

hon.l.a_amhandin stated, ”Be like say this Ooni get Issue o na this second time be dis.”

In August 2017, a former queen to the Ooni, Queen Zaynab-Otiti announced that she was leaving the Ooni.

She went on to change her name on her verified Instagram handle, from Olori Wuraola Ogunwusi to Queen Zaynab-Otiti Obanor.
