The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, has gone viral after adorable videos of him and his first son with ex-wife, Queen Naomi Silekunola, Prince Tadenikawo, surfaced online.
In one of the trending clips, the Ooni was seen carrying his son as he accompanied him and his mother, Queen Naomi, while bidding them farewell after a visit. Another touching video showed young Tade holding his father’s royal staff and praying for him, calling the monarch “his joy.”
The emotional videos have sparked reactions online, with many social media users insisting the Ooni still has deep affection for his ex-wife.

Past Family Moments
Just last month, the Ooni celebrated Tade’s 5th birthday, calling him his beloved son and describing him as “the promise of tomorrow” and the continuation of their royal dynasty. He prayed for him, saying Tade is a gift and a testament to God’s grace.
For Tade’s 3rd birthday in 2023, the Ooni and Naomi reunited at the palace to celebrate him. They were also seen together again during the opening of a project in Akure, Naomi’s hometown. The Ooni was captured speaking with Naomi as she held their son, alongside other wives of the monarch in attendance.
Background of Their Separation
Queen Naomi shocked the nation in December 2022 when she announced the end of her three-year marriage to the Ooni. She later explained that she would not return to the palace because the monarch now has six wives. Naomi said her marriage had both sweet and bitter experiences, and she was “too soft and innocent” when she entered the palace, but life has since taught her much.
In October 2023, the Ooni also addressed the end of his marriage, saying people mocked him for not having a queen. He said he prayed to God, who told him to be at peace. According to the monarch, “fast forward to now,” he has queens everywhere in the palace.
The new video of the king and his son has now reopened discussions among fans, many hoping for peace and unity between the ex-couple.
