Royal Rumble As Ooni’s Wife Says Husband Is Two-Faced

By Tosin Olatokunbo

The wife of Ooni of Ife, Sikenuola Naomi has revealed that her husband is not sincere. According to her, the image Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi II projects to the world is not his true colour. The revelation is contained in a statement by the queen, announcing her divorce to the monarch, on Thursday.

Some watchers of the Ooni’s palace said tension is now high in the royal family, barely a day after Oba Ogunwusi revealed that he once contemplated suicide as a young man.

In a statement on Thursday, Sikenuola said her marriage to the traditional ruler has broken down completely, without redemption. She, however, shocked the world after she said in the statement that what Oba Ogunwusi projects to the world is not his true self.

According to the Olori who said she tried all she could to save her marriage, “his Majesty has a picture he would love the world to see and perceive him as and another one which is his true self “.

Speaking on Wednesday at the opening session of the maiden edition of ‘Memorable Moments With Music’ at The Muson Centre, Lagos, Oba Adeyeye said frustration almost pushed him to taking his own life.

He said, “This is a very great moment for me. There is power in music. When I almost committed suicide in my younger age as a real estate business man, it was music that saved my life. Music is a perfect communication with God.

“I had become very successful in the real estate sector at a very young age. I took a loan of N8 billion about 12 years ago to build high rise building which I had to pull down by myself when we were already on the 10th floor, and the money went down the drain.

“Life turned upside down thereafter and the only option was for me to commit suicide, but listening to series of inspirational music reset my thinking faculty to remember the common saying ‘There is Hope When There is Life’.

“I have since then adopted music as a very powerful solution tool when faced with challenges, and I made up mind to invest in music and art for the economic empowerment and mental liberation of our youths and the less privileged people in our society. Ladies and gentlemen, whatever you are going through, please don’t give up. Use inspirational music to elevate your spirit

“This is indeed a calling for me and I feel so happily fulfilled tonight with this 1st day of this musical project, a 3 day musical show which I tagged ‘Memorable Moments With Music’”, Oba Ogunwusi said.
