Some Nigerians are bothered how the marriage between the Ooni of Ife and a former evangelist will work. They are also concerned about the impact of the union on her faith. Can she still be a Christian?

The Yoruba kingdom of Ile-Ife now has a new queen named Shilekunola Moronke Oluwaseyi Naomi.
Before
moving to the palace on Saturday, October 20, 2018, she is believed to
have stepped on blood as part of the ritual required to become an Olori to the Ooni of Ife, the supreme monarch Oba Ogunwusi Adeyeye.
Pulse is unable to confirm the authenticity of a picture of the queen supposedly walking on blood.
Before becoming the wife of the revered king, Naomi was reportedly an evangelist.
Some
clips of her overseeing the deliverance congregants at a crusade has
surfaced on social media and has generated mixed reactions from
Nigerians who are concerned about the impact her new status could have
on Christians.
A video of the Olori
shows her laying hands on a woman who seemed to be troubled by a
spirit. Some assistants work together to ensure that she is still while
the former prophetess delivers her.
In more comments on social media many have found it difficult to manage the conflict between the characters of the queen.
The Olori did not step on blood though. Did she?
A Twitter profile Bimbo Adeola felt a need to educate those in doubt about the meaning of the ritual requiring the Olori to walk on "blood".
It is probably "camwood" mixed with liquid what some Nigerian have identified to be an animal's blood.
Adeola
got into a conversation with doubters and also schooled them about why
the palace guests had to be fed after attending the traditional wedding
ceremony of the king and his third wife.
