The former Queen took to her verified Facebook page to make the announcement.

Ex-Queen Silekunola Naomi, former wife of the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, Ojaja II, Friday evening, announced her conferment with a honourary doctorate degree by the prestigious “Myles Leadership University.”

The post, associated with two short video clips saw the excited former Queen being conferred with the honourary degree.

“A glorious night it is, for me and my loved ones. I’m excited to announce to you that another feather just got added to my crown.

“Today, I got conferred with the award of honourary Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D) by the prestigious “Myles Leadership University,” she wrote.

Queen Silekunola admonished that people should work hard while walking through this world.

“The heat will come, but soon the honours will follow. The road may be bumpy but with prayers and consistency, the ride would eventually become smooth,” she wrote.

The prophetess, sounding spiritual asked, “brethren, after all is said and done, will there be any stars in your crown when at evening the sun goes down?”

The conferment came just few days after the Ife monarch married Mariam Anako after the former Queen left the palace.

Naomi had announced separation with the monarch on Thursday, December 23, 2021, thus ended a marriage that produced a son, Tadenikawo, and lasted about 3 years.
