From all indications, Naomi Silekunola, an ex-wife of the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, has returned to winning souls for Christ, her core area of competence before she abandoned it all to become a queen in Ile Ife. The mother of one ran an interdenominational ministry based in Akure, Ondo State before marrying the traditional ruler. She was also the founder of two Non-Governmental Organisations, EN- Heralds ministry and Women in Need of Guidance and Support, WINGS. She was involved in running the ministry on a skeletal basis while functioning as queen in Ile-Ife.
Recall that THEWILL had reported that shortly after she left the Ooni’s palace, she embraced life with a new fervour and relished her newfound freedom with so much gusto. Her holier-than-thou image, which she had projected before she became a queen, went with the wind. Instead, she projected an image of a good girl gone bad, turning her back on evangelism, attending parties and dancing to worldly music.
Her style of dressing also changed as she cultivated a taste for extravagant and colourful dresses with very intricate styles. Also, Naomi who is now the recipient of an honorary doctorate degree, seems to be confused about the name she wants to be publicly addressed now that she has returned to sharing the gospel with fervour.
She is yet to get over her time as the Queen of Ile Ife and sports a myriad of names with queenly attachment. While her social media pages refer to her as Queen Silekunola Naomi Ogunwusi, her names on the Christian programmes she has been invited to, refer to her as either Queen Prophetess Naomi Silekunola Ogunwusi or Prophetess Naomi Silekunola.
These days, she gets invited to minister at gospel conferences. First, she was invited for a church ministration at the Christ Chapel International Church in Akure, Ondo State. Then she also organised a prayer ministration on Facebook Live and later this month, she will be part of the ministers invited to share the gospel at Christos International Abuja Worship Center.
