Queen Naomi Silekunola Ogunwusi, the estranged wife of the Ooni of Ife, Oba Enitan Adeyeye Ogunwusi, on Sunday, April 20, 2026, celebrated her 33rd birthday by throwing a birthday dinner for her family and friends.

The highlight from the event was Ooni’s first son, Prince Tadenikawo’s action at his mother’s birthday celebration.
A video circulating on social media showed the young prince dancing as he joined others in singing a birthday song for his mother.
Recall that in 2024, Queen Naomi made headlines after she organised a funfair for children in Ibadan, Oyo state. Unfortunately, a stampede occurred, and many lives were lost. She was later arrested and detained for several weeks before being granted bail.
In related news, Legit.ng reported that the Ooni threw shades at his estranged wife at an event.

In a viral video, the traditional ruler mentioned how people used to make fun of him before he got married, but later, he married ‘by fire, by force’, and people began complaining that his wife used to follow him around.
He also stated that his wife had left him, but now he had seven more wives. Three of his spouses, who were present at the ceremony, cheered and laughed at the king’s comments.
