Earlier this morning, Queen Naomi took to her verified social media to reveal that she and her spouse have divorced.
“Today I announce the beginning of a new dawn and the close of a chapter. Today, I am a mother to God’s unique gift. I am no longer a slave to my thoughts of perfection. I, at this moment, announce that I shall no longer be referred to as wife to the Ooni of Ife or as Queen of Ile-Ife but as the Queen of the people and mother of my adorable Prince.”
Taking to social media, Nigerians expressed grief over their separation, urging for a reconciliation between the couple.
It would also be noted that some mocked the Ife monarch with the popular slang saying “Ooni don chop breakfast”.
