Queen Silekunola Naomi Ogunwusi,
The former wife of the Ooni of Ife, Queen Silekunola Naomi Ogunwusi, who recently clocked 30, shares with SAMSON FOLARIN some of her life’s experiences and how they have shaped her into who she is.
Queen Silekunola Naomi Ogunwusi is a woman of different parts. Can you provide a highlight of your journey so far?
I started ministry at a very young age, or let me say that I started to have a good relationship with God at a very tender age. Before I got to know the Lord, I was having some supernatural experiences. However, at the age of nine, I gave my life to Christ, and got baptised with the Holy Ghost with evidence of speaking in tongues. I went through primary and secondary schools at the Akure Academy before I got admitted to Adekunle Ajasin University. I became popular there.
I was going to 18 years when I got God’s call to start my ministry formally, and I went into evangelistic ministry. For some reasons, I could not continue at the university at that time; that was because of the call. I was doing fine academically; I came out with flying colours in anything I did at that time. However, one was stronger than the other.
I continued full-time until I was 25 and got married. I am still in ministry; many assumed that I got married and stopped ministry. I had several crusades while in the palace, and I have gone on outreaches; we have videos to back it up. I am currently back in school, studying at the Elizade University.
You started ministry at 18, what was the reaction of your parents and why start at such a tender age?
The hand of God upon me was very evident. I was born into a very strong Christian family. My parents have a background in ministry. It wasn’t strange the things happening around me and to me. The manner in which I was operating at that time; you know when a child tells you, ‘Daddy, don’t go out today, this and this will happen’. And it would happen exactly how I prophesied it.
