Queen Naomi Speaks On Returning To Ooni’s Palace After Six Wives
Queen Naomi Silekunola, the estranged wife of Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, Ooni of Ife, has stated that she has no hope of returning to the palace because she cannot survive among the king’s six wives.
This was revealed by the mother of one in an interview with The Punch.
Her soft and gentle nature, she believes, will not allow her to survive in such an environment.
“As I have been speaking with 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,” she said.
When asked about the lesson she learned from her first marriage, she stated that it was a mix of both sweet and bitter experiences. She went to the palace when she was too innocent and soft.
“I am hesitant about speaking about my experiences in the palace. But in my usual way of talking, it was a bittersweet experience. Details, I will not be sharing, but it was a bittersweet experience. There were really sweet moments and there were really bitter moments.
“Lessons learned are personal and they have helped in shaping me. I am enjoying 30 so much. 30 makes me really strong. I am too innocent; I think I entered the palace too innocent and soft, but life is not like that, you have to be strong, bold and courageous,” she added.
