Queen Zaynab Otiti Obanor, the now estranged wife of Ooni of Ife Oba Ogunwusi, has a few hours ago, taken to her social media page to congratulates the Oba on taking a new wife.
Queen Zaynab who was married to Oba Ogunwunsi for about 17-months, before the union crashed, congratulated the Ooni and his new wife, Olori Naomi Oluwaseyi, a 25-year old evangelist, sending her best wishes to the couple.
The former Olori Wurola Ogunwusi now Zaynab Otiti Obanor was criticized for the break up of her marriage, as many would never ever think of leaving such Royal sumptuousness, and as such, for the first time in the history of the crown, the general public instantly got interested in the happenings at the Palace of Ooni of Ife, currently managed by HRM Oba Enitan Ogunwusi Ojaja II .
After their breakup, the former Olori Wurola Ogunwusi, took to her social media page to explain the breakup, and why she had to leave the Palace. She said:
“We have got to stop this culture of shaming and vilifying women with false stories of infidelity & nefarious behavior. The spreading of false information (through “sources” afraid to be identified) is the mark of cowards and a cover up for guilty parties to justify their horrific actions. There is absolutely no truth to the media circulated lies of infidelity and infertility- on my end.
What I can confirm, is that the Ooni and I are no more. I inhale love & exhale gratitude. My journey continues as a Humanitarian aiding women and victims of domestic violence & abuse with the United Nations. No matter how much time you’ve invested, no matter the use of media to silence & manipulate, no matter the circumstance, slander, embarrassment, threats and lies: Get out and seek immediate help!
We’ve seen this movie before. Women being dragged in the press & blamed for everything under the sun. This behavior is unacceptable. I urge those involved to be mindful of their actions for the eyes of our Almighty God are always watching. The seeds of slander is a cancer that harvests to eat away the souls of the planter.
The throne is sacred and the attempts to tarnish the name of a Queen, in defense or on behalf of a silent King makes all involved look terrible. Remain dignified in all you do. It’s not the end of the world, but the start of a new chapter and you must turn the page with grace. The world is watching.
As I bid adieu to this chapter, my wish to you all is to step into your lives – boldly & fearlessly, the way God intended and live not just by words, but through example. The best chapter in our lives is the one we are writing now. Thank you for your love and support.
With peace, love & light, -Her Highness, Zaynab Otiti Obanor.” She had said then.
In her latest post in congratulating Oba Ogunwusi, she said:
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.”HH Queen Zaynab
