Heart of a Queen: Applause As Ooni Ogunwusi’s Estranged Wife Blesses His New Marriage

Deposed queen Zaynab Otiti-Obanor forgives and forgets Wishes monarch bliss in his new union

At last, Zaynab Otiti-Obanor has made peace with her grief. She is done ruing the sluice of the icy wind that extinguished the warmth in her marriage. Thus the former Queen and heartthrob of the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, has seen beyond the poetic justice or injustice of her crashed wedlock to the paramount monarch and congratulated the flamboyant monarch on his grand marriage to Yeyeluwa Silekunola Naomi.

The former queen, also known as Olórí Wuraola, who split with the Ooni in August 2017 citing “irreconcilable differences,” surprised her fans when she posted the message on her Instagram page. Her gesture of solicitation shocked not a few people who expected her to still be nursing her wounds from the acrimonious break-up.

Unlike the vast multitude of forsaken women, her highness, Zaynab Otiti Obanor has moved on from her recent disappointment. The former Queen of Ifè understands that a bridge can still be built, while the bitter waters of anger and betrayal are flowing beneath.

Hence her gesture of reaching out to the man with whom she spent a whirlwind year at the top of the world before things fell apart.

Perhaps in memory of the good times, that they spent together, she has forgiven him. She decided to let bygones be bygones and sincerely wish her successor, a better and happier marriage than she had.

Her message was contained in a photo card which reads: “It was once said that there is nobility in compassion, beauty in empathy and grace in forgiveness. Congratulations to The Ooni and his new bride, Shilekunola Naomi Moronke Oluwaseyi. May God bless your union.”
