The
Ooni of Ife has reportedly gifted Queen Naomi 2 brand new luxurious
cars and a mansion. This is according to a report by City People
Magazine. The report has it that the two luxurious vehicles are the official cars for the new Queen. Read the report as gathered from City People below:
The
residence of Ijako Estate, Akure of the Oluwaseyi bubbled penultimate
Thursday, 18th of October, as the royal Entourage of his Imperial
Majesty, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi stormed the residence of
Evangelist, Prophetess Shilekunola Morenike Naomi, to seek her hand in
marriage.
The royal wedding, which was kept away from the public
and media glare paraded those who matter to Kabiyesi and his new found
love, Naomi.
Let us gist you about Prophetess Naomi. She is the
25 years old founder of a popular Akure church, En-Heralds, at Sunview
Hotel Alagbaka, Akure. It is a big church that boasts of more than
1,000-strong congregation. She started the church 7 years ago, while she
started her public Evegelism 8 years ago.
She is a very popular
Evangelist in Akure and her church is known as the prayer warriors’
church. Very gentle and highly reserved Prophetess Naomi runs the church
with her 50 years old mother, Prophetess Oluyemi, who is an Indigene of
Ikenne-Remo. Her father is from Akure, while her father’s marriage to
his wife has lasted over 30 years. Their marriage is also blessed with 6
children, 3 boys and 3 girls, while Oloori Naomi is the 3rd child.
Prophetess
Naomi is known for a very famous crusade and praise programme entitled:
Hosanna Night every December to mark the anniversary of the church.
Many Akure Christians look forward to the programmes not just because of
how she ministers, but because it is always star-studded with A-list
Nigerian Gospel artistes performing. Last October, Prophetess Naomi
brought Tungba Gospel Musician, Yinka Aiyefele, Yetunde Are, Kenny Kore,
and Biyi Samuel to perform at the crusade tag: “Hark the Herald Angels”
at The Dome, Akure, Ondo State.
She is a graduate of Akungba
Akoko University. The very eloquent and highly respectful Young Oloori
doesn’t keep friends. Her crowd is small and her mum is her best friend.
She is always in the company of her Mother, whom she addresses as
“Wooli Agba” or Wura Mi”. They are always sighted at Malls together in
Akure. Our source said the Prophetess hardly went out alone and she
loves wearing flowing gown too.
Do you know how kabiyesi met his
Oloori? City People’s investigation reveals that Kabiyesi met his
beautiful Oloori through her mother many years ago.
It was
further revealed that it was an extended relationship with all siblings
of Oloori Naomi Ogunwusi. Even the Prophetess was at the palace in
Ile-Ife 3 months ago to pray for Kabiyesi and that was when Kabiyesi
fell in love with her calmness and cool disposition.
It was
further explained that Kabiyesi didn’t only fall in love at first sight;
he was impressed and induced when he knew that Prophetess Naomi was a
virgin at the time.
This was why kabiyesi asked her out and
promised her marriage without further ado. City People’s investigation
reveals that it took Oloori and Kabiyesi 3-and-half month to pick a date
for the marriage and preparations kicked off immediately.
The
first thing Oonirisa did was to keep the date away from many as
preparations went on among top family members. All the engagement stuffs
were also sourced by Kabiyesi’s siblings who were also warned not to
discuss it with outsiders.
As early as noon on that Thursday all
was set for the royal journey to the residence of the Oluyemi in Akure.
Of course, Kabiyesi didn’t go with them as tradition doesn’t permit
him. He has to be at home awaiting his bride. He can also not prostrate
for anyone and tradition demands he prostrates for his in-laws.
Who
were those on the Royal Journey to Akure you may ask? They include
Kabiyesi’s father, Prince Aderopo Ogunwusi and his wife, Mrs Margret
Ogunwusi, Sooko Ekun, Prince Bimbo, who is Kabiyesi’s elder brother.
His
elder brother, Prince Tunji Ogunwusi, and his wife Ibilola Ogunwusi,
who flew in from London. Also on the entourage were: Prince Jide Fadairo
and his wife, Princess Folasade Ogunwusi, Princess Adesola, Princess
Folusho and her husband Kolawole, and Princess Adebimpe and her husband,
Prince Mobolaji Jimoh.
The Princesses were all clad in luxury
white lace matched with Royal blue headgear. Their traditional Iyun
beads were from Tjcollections, while the Ogunwusi Princes and their
brothers-in-law spotted white flowing Agbada.
Also in attendance
was Obalufe, the Emeses, Osoro, and Ooni of Ife inner caucus Chiefs who
all together were 40 in number. All drove to Akure in style in 15
vehicles, which were mainly Benz series. They were led by escort as
their hosts welcomed them at 5.31pm.
The Oluwaseyis, who were
fully set awaiting their new in-laws quickly commenced the event at a
few minutes to 6pm with opening prayer by the bride’s family. Princess
Adebimpe Ogunwusi Jimoh, who is the immediate younger sister of
Oonirisa, introduced the Ogunwusi’s family to the Oluwaseyis, while the
bride’s family also introduced their family members.
The angelic
bride walking tall like a Queen that she is came in looking regal in an
embellished fully-stoned aso-oke with a light make-up from Akure make-up
Pro. Oluyemi Oluposi of dashingbride makeover while her royal Iyun hung
beautifully on her neck as she welcomed her new family.
The
Ogunwusis couldn’t take their eyes off their beautiful bride as the
bride’s family admired the Luxury Lois-Volton set of luggage which was
filled with luxury attired for the new Queen. Because the new Queen
doesn’t wear earrings, Kabiyesi also sourced for best collection of
wristwatches for her. The big yam tubers were 89 pieces, Palm oil, rice,
atare, honey, and others items were also put on display as Yoruba
culture and tradition dictates
The Oluwaseyis didn’t keep them
waiting for long as Prophetess Naomi was handed over to Oonirisa’s elder
brother, the Sooko Ekun of Ile-Ife, Prince Bimbo Ogunwusi, who then
handed her over to the Ogunwusi sisters.
Few minutes past 10pm,
the Ooni entourage drove into Ile-Ife, where Oloori Ogunwusi was
received at the entrance by Oonirisa’s Chiefs. Prayers were led by one
of the Oonirisa’s Chiefs called ‘Loowa’ (Next to kabiyesi among Chiefs)
while Obalufe also prayed for the new bride before she was presented to
Ekerin Iyalode, who is a top member of Oonirisa Ruling house “Geesi
ruling house. That was after a white Ram was killed, while the Oloori
did the needful according to tradition of Ife. The Ekerin Iyalode poured
water on her legss as the calabash was broken. Then the breaking of
kolanut followed.
She was later ushered into the palace where
Oonirisa had already “Gunwa” on his throne. Kabiyesi, Oba Adeyeye
Ogunwusi received her with open arms and prayed for her. He exchanged
wedding bands with her and told her to sit at the right side.
The
emeses who are the closest chiefs to Kabiyesi then welcomed her
officially with all the Oloori of the source praises, while she was then
told to move to the left side of Kabiyesi, which makes her the new
Oonirisa Oloori.
