The Sample plaque/certificate & trophy 

This is one badge of honour that all the recipients, most especially this young trailblazing developer/builder by name 'Sijibomi Ogundele' would sure to treasure, to carry around everywhere with much aplomb and pride. Especially as it is coming from the one rated by all, as the boss of all bosses, the king above all other Yoruba kings in Nigeria, his imperial majesty, the Ooni of Ife, 'Alaiyeluwa Oba Adeyeye Enitan Babatunde Ogunwusi', Ojaja II.

Since his imperial majesty came on the throne of his forebears, he has done his best to bring new energy to the palace of the Ooni of Ife, the home of  Oduduwa, with many innovative ideas and one of such is the "Royal African Young Leadership Forum", which is under the umbrella of the Ooni of Ife Global Outreach. Part of the mission of this outreach is to help rebuild Africa's greatness with the youth at the epicenter of this thrust. So part of the agenda is the identification of and the celebration of future leaders in the various sectors of Nigeria.

So in doing the above, the highly regarded royal father played host to 100 bright and futuristic Nigerian youths making waves in their several sectors of the economy, across all geopolitical zones in Nigeria. The areas in purview were Governance, Entrepreneurship, Technology, Creative, Culture, Innovation, Academics and Leadership.

One of the recipients of the Royal Awards was Sijibomi Ogundele aka Sujimoto who is growing in leaps and bound as a developer of note. The Royal Father, the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye himself was a developer too before the assumption of the throne.

Some of the other awardees were Funke Adesiyan, Politician, actress and entrepreneur, who is currently a Special Adviser to Nigeria's First lady, Dr. Aisha Buhari; Seyi Awolowo, a grandson of the late sage and Premier of the then Western Nigeria, Pa Jeremiah Obafemi Awolowo, the young man was a recent housemate of Big Brother Nigeria House 2019, the #pepperdemgang; then also were the likes of Eyitope Kola Oyeneyin, Adedimeji Lateef, MC Lively, Ajebo, Jerry Mallo, Yomi Makun of Yomi Casual fame, Hon. Chima Obieze, Dr. Ibidapo Fashina and very many others.

The very well put together event held at the expansive, Oduduwa hall of the Great Obafemi Awolowo University, OAU Ile Ife, Osun State. 2 of the special guests of honour that helped the Ooni  in presenting the awards to the honored recipients were, the Honorable Minister of Youths and Sport, Mr. Sunday Dare and His Excellency, the UAE Ambassador to Nigeria, Dr. Fahad Al-Taffaq.

Sijibomi Ogundele. who is also very well known by his company's brand name Sujimoto, who was one of those prominently recognized by the royal father, later after receiving his award addressed the media thus -

It was a great honour to have received this call to duty and recognition from the most distinguish frontline traditional ruler in Africa – His Imperial Majesty, the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi. This award of excellence is a continuous reminder that he who works hard will stand before Kings because I strongly believe that there is no nobility in poverty and it doesn’t matter whether you are from Ikorodu or Ikoyi, immediately you substitute recklessness for diligence, your true potential becomes a reality”.

This, to me, is not just an award. This is a symbol of responsibility-to uphold the Omoluabi spirit — the spirit of integrity, the spirit of perseverance, and the spirit of nobility.


As I sat in a room filled with more than 1000 students and over 99 awardees from fashion,
entertainment, technology, manufacturing, business, and other industries, I realized that the Nigerian youth have not even utilized up to 10% of her potential, our true asset is not in crude oil but in the potential of young vibrant people of our nation. The future of Nigeria is dependent on the opportunities we give our youth. The Ooni has set a precedent for us all to follow. I am happy for the opportunity to be part of a block-chain of young Entrepreneurs, making a difference. I left the events of the weekend humbled and overzealous to do more; inspired to be an agent of change in my industry.

WHEN THE DEMIGOD-OONI OF IFE OBA ADEYEYE BABATUNDE ENITAN OGUNWUSI GOT TRAPPED INSIDE LAGOS CONTINENTAL HOTEL'S SHAMBOLIC LIFT

In what was like a bad joke that played out for several minutes and caused some major panic, the Ooni of Ife, his imperial majesty, Oba Enitan Babatunde Ogunwusi Ojaja II, who is South West Nigeria's most respected king and in fact one of the most valued African king in the whole universe, who is also a spiritual father of the entire Yoruba race across the world was temporarily embarrassed by the malfunctioning of technology, a lift (escalator) at the Continental Hotel earlier today, where he was lodged.

The freak show or shame has been a problem at the supposed 2 or 3 star hotel waiting to happen for a bit now and when it finally trapped a supposed 'demigod', a highly valued man (personality) at that, reputed to command or have at his command and authority, not less than 201 out of the 400 plus deities that abounds, then it is a problem that would after all find a permanent solution after wards.

The management of the hotel located on the Island, at Kofo Abayomi, in Victoria Island to be more precise, we believe would henceforth do all that's in their power and in their own interest to make sure such an unbeffiting, unpalatable and embarrassing occurrence would never happen again, especially to the man who is the focal point (like the highest ever ranked prophets of other religions) of traditional religious worship in Yoruba mythology. The Ooni is reputed to be a direct descendant and representative of Oduduwa, who is reputed to be the founding father of the Yoruba race. So he is the mouthpiece of traditional Yoruba religion in the whole world. Such is the immensity or 'immenseness' of his position and powers, if ever there is a word like immenseness.

When the unfortunate and ill timed incidence occurred, all the multitudes of the King's hangers on or troops went into an absolutely stupefying and incredulous panic mode. It was a shock 🤯 to them, likened to a spirit, being trapped in a box. Until the lift began to work again and the revered monarch came out unscathed before relief gladdened the hearts of all that were in the vicinity. And in a most calm manner, Kabiyesi stepped out of the faulty contraption and still waved to his admirers in his very regal manner to show that all was well and that he wasn't in any way fazed by the temporary incidence, like it was just one of those things that 'mere mortals' normally encounter every other time.

The Continental Hotel Lagos has been a shadow of itself since the Incontinental brand withdrew from managing it. Unlike how things used to be prim and proper and functioning well then, things have been a bit funny for a bit now from what we hear. We can recall we were at one of the suites sometime back 2 years ago at a birthday party and was astounded that the ceiling was leaking and a bucket had to be placed at the spot to gather the water dripping down. So the lift malfunctioning and trapping the king at such an hotel was just one of those things (problems) waiting to happen. 

HER ROYAL MAJESTY THE QUEEN OF IFE,OLORI NAOMI ADEYEYE OGUNWUSI CLOCKS 26

Mennnnnn, since the prophetess-queen got married to the very beloved symbol of the Yoruba culture and heritage, in the person of his imperial majesty, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Babatunde Ogunwusi, the Ojaja II, the Oonirisa Adimula of Ile-Ife (the land of love) it seems bliss unlimited has found a permanent home in the Kabiyesi's household. And from all indications, one of the major source of this unlimited bliss is his wife, the Queen of Ife, Olori Naomi Shilekunola Morounke Ogunwusi. It's like madam is bringing credence to one of her names Shilekunola, meaning opening the door of wealth in her household.

The above assertion also just gives credence to the time honored sayings of the sages that "he who finds a wife, finds a good thing". There's no doubt about the fact, that Kabiyesi found his rib in his young, quite naturally beautiful wife, who apart from running her prophetic ministry prefers her anonymous cocoon.

You need to see both of these lovebirds together or in the same vicinity for you to better understand that there's what the couple share or that exists between the 2, that's more on the spiritual plane, very supernatural to say the least. It's a deep, quite deep connection and love. And both surely fit each other to a t.

As the Arole oodua, the Ooni stands tall in the stead as the very embodiment of the Yoruba culture and tradition, he is actually like what the Pope is to the Catholic when it comes to the traditional religion. And so any wife that the Ooni must marry must fit perfectly into his calling too. And Olori (queen) Naomi obviously fits perfectly into that mold.

The maiden, the Leader of her own fast growing church organization who came into her husband's house and her now home, 'chaste and pure' just clocked 26 (twenty six), on Monday April 15, 2019 without much fanfare contrary to expectations of people who had expected loud celebrations etc, but the only thing that pointed towards the queen adding another year was only the avalanche of well wishes that poured in from left, right and center on the day. Apart from that, every thing else was quiet, even from the palace too.

Maybe am oracle had spoken or maybe the palace just felt that instead of plenty noise, that it was better to just have more of a family celebration than anything loud, especially since it's only 26 and not as of she was clocking 30 or 40 which are more significant numbers to celebrate.

But notwithstanding, we here at Maestro's Media just wants to wish the Olori many more great and fulfilling years on Earth. Happy belated 🎂 birthday. 

AND YET MORE ABOUT THE NEWLY MARRIED YEYELUWA OF IFE, OLORI SHILEKUNOLA NAOMI MORONKE OGUNWUSI

Her Royal Majesty, Yeyeluwa of Ife, Olori Silekunola Naomi MORONKE Ogunwusi https://maestromedia.blogspot.com/2018/10/exclusive-pictures-from-ooni-and-wifes.html?m=0

His Imperial Majesty, the Arole Oodua, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Babatunde Ogunwusi Ojaja II 

Reverend Mother Esther Abimbola Ajayi 

FACT FILE--
The whole world has been agog since the news broke about the Yeyeluwa's marriage to His Imperial Majesty, the Oonirisa Adimula of Ile-Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Babatunde Ogunwusi, Ojaja II.

Until this union was sealed, little was known about the Prophetess and Evangelist previously, who was the Head of her own Ministry known as the EN-Heralds Ministry, which is an interdenominal ministry, a very popular one at that in Akure, Ondo State.

She began her public ministry call at the your age of 18, but became a full time Evangelist at 21, October 19, 2011 t I be more precise, so yesterday Friday, October 19, 2018 would have been her 7th year of call to bar or should we say call to the service of God.

Olori Silekunonla Naomi Moronke Oluwaseyi now Ogunwusi was born April 15, 1993 so she's 25 years old going 26 now.

She apparently not totally confirmed though, left AAUA, that's Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba-Akoko, Akure, Ondo State at 100 level, that's in her first year to pursue her call.

She has about 6 other siblings. It's very likely that now that she is married and her sphere of jurisdiction has changed, most likely that her mom Pastor Funmilayo Grace Oluwaseyi would take over the running of her thriving ministry, since she can't continue to run it by herself anymore, especially now that she has become a full-fledged, partner custodian of the Yoruba tradition and culture around the world. What that actually means is that she cannot be combining the dictates of traditional religion, with Christianity!!!

Although again, with the Ooni's assertion that all the religions, most especially that Christianity and Islam came from the Yoruba Traditional religion, maybe a combination, some sort of merging something of the 'chrislamherb' package, can be worked out!

According to the yet to be confirmed gist, Kabiyesi the Ooni of Ife actually met his now Olori only 9 months ago in February of 2018 to be more precise. It is said that the meeting point was in Ife, at the Ife resort developed by his imperial majesty.

Apparently, there had been a programme sort of, put together by the ministry of the renowned Iya Adura, Reverend Mother Esther Abimbola Ajayi, the founder of the UK based C & S, Love of Christ Generation Church, one of the fastest growing churches in the UK.

Rev. Mother Ajayi is a noted preacher of love across board, who wants the unity of all the white garment churches all over the world. She is a noted philanthropist also.

If what we hear is to be believed, then Reverend Mother Esther Ajayi might actually have introduced the Olori to the Arole Oodua, the Oonirisa Adimula, a his Imperial Majesty at the Ife resort programme and the rest, like they say is now history.

May nature most graciously, bless this union most abundantly with all types of blessings that's possible. 

EXCLUSIVE PICTURES FROM THE OONI AND WIFE'S MARRIAGE CEREMONY. A MAESTRO'S MEDIA SUPER EXCLUSIVE.

H.I.M, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Babatunde Ogunwusi Ojaja II and Yeyeluwa SHILEKUNOLA MORONKE Ogunwusi 

Like we already said in our earlier report, it was a low key occasion that took place in Akure, Ondo State. To be more precise the classy traditional ceremony held at Ijapo Estate Akure yesterday, Thursday, October 18, 2018. Kabiyesi was not in attendance at the ceremony though, after the ceremony was when the queen was brought to Ife. The Ogunwusi family attended the wedding on the King's behalf.

The family was lead to Akure by the King's father, Prince John Oluropo Ogunwusi. And his wife, Olori Agba, Margaret Ogunwusi.
Also in attendance were:
Prince Adegboyega Ogunwusi, Prince Adetunji Ogunwusi, Prince & Princess Jide & Folashade Fadairo, Princess Adesola Ogunwusi, Princess & Mr. Seye & Foluso Kolawole, Princess Adebimpe Ogunwusi & Mr. Bolaji Jimoh, Princess Bunmi Ogunwusi, Princess Adebambo Ogunwusi, Princess Doja Ogunwusi.

The new Yeyeluwa of Ile Ife was brought to Ife at 10pm, last night to begin her new life as the Olori (Queen).

With this done now, it practically silences all the speculations that had surrounded his imperial majesty all of this months. All of those connections that were speculated before have now been finally thrown into the dustbin of history!

There's in fact a school of thought that believes that some of those connects that were speculated and that gained traction in the media might have been stylishly sponsored by those women mentioned just to see if they could stylishly drift in or so that thgey could slide in stylishly into Kabiyesi's DM.

Kudos to the Kabiyesi. Now that the little distractions are over, it's now time to completely focus on advancing the glory of the Yoruba race around the world and the preaching of the message of love, that his imperial majesty has picked as a major focus that needs undivided attention.

Congratulations to Ife's New daughter and wife of the King! We are waiting to celebrate the twins, with much pomp!!!! She was born on April 15, 1993, so she's 25 years old.

More pictures after the break.

Ooooo WOW SO THE WAIT IS FINALLY OVER, AS OONI PICKS NEW BRIDE. HIS WIFE EVANGELIST/PROPHETESS SHILEKUNOLA NAOMI MORONKE NOW OLORI OGUNWUSI!

The palace has somewhat come out to confirm that a new wife for the king has been found. Judging by the message from the OONI'S IG handle, we can now tell you categorically that the Ooni of Ife, or better still the Oonirisa Adimula of Ife, Africa's number one and most reverred king, the son of Oduduwa himself, the chief spokesperson for the Yoruba race, his imperial majesty, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Babatunde Ogunwusi, Ojaja II has finally again, found his long lost missing rib.

The new wife is a stunning beauty from Akure in Ondo State and she is a prophetess and her name is the former Miss Prophetess/Evangelist Shilekunola Naomi Moronke Oluwaseyi of the En-Herald Ministry, who is 25 years old. The gorgeous lady of 'God', had a major program in December of 2017 in Akure, Ondo State, tagged 'Hosanna Night', it was the 1st of it's kind program in that city. See the YouTube video above.

This marriage, which was officially stamped yesterday, is the 3rd missionary journey for his revered majesty. Both his earlier marriages ended in divorces and the prayers from all and sundry is that this would be a far more successful journey than the earlier 2. His first was to Olori Adebukola, which was at a early age and which didn't yield any issues till it scattered, and the last which was to Olori Wuraola Otiti from the Benin kingdom in Edo state lasted only for several months, before the centre couldn't hold again and both had to go there separate ways, that one also didn't yield any fruit too.

This time around, it seems like the oracle took its time to search and pick the right personality to be the queen (Olori) of Ife better still Ile-Ife. The beloved new wife of Oba Ogunwusi is a young lady at only 25 years old  It is the fervent prayer of all and sundry that this particular oracle's choice this time around would be the very best.

We can tell you categorically and authoritatively that it was a low key traditional marriage ceremony yesterday, Thursday  October 18, 2018 with only very close family members on both sides in attendance. Moronke's parents and siblings were part of it all and she even arrived the palace about 10 yesterday. We can also tell you authoritatively, that yesterday's ceremony is just it, no big wedding ceremony is coming up anywhere again, except maybe some kind of reception though, if people go to visit the Kabiyesi.

With this union, this marriage is the amalgamation (merging) of the traditional religion (isese) of the king, who is a father of all religion and the Christian faith of his new wife. We pray that the blessings of God would pour upon the newly married and make this a very fruitful one. We are in fact already awaiting in the next few months, the twins that would be the first fruits of Naomi and the 2nd fruit of Kabiyesi but wouid now be his 3kids.
