The Ooni of Ife, His Imperial Majesty Ooni Adeyeye Ogunwusi Ojaja II, celebrates Children's day urging Nigerian children to believe in Nigeria and be dedicated to the development of the country.
The Ooni said this during the maiden edition of Children's Day Celebration organized by the Ile Oodua and hosted by Olori Wuraola Otiti Ogunwusi, on Friday in Ile-Ife, Osun State.
Words from the Ooni:
"Children of the past believed so much in this country and that aided the growth of this country. Patriotism from the older generation children helped this nation so much, but the country no longer enjoys such today again. "Today's children must also believe in this country, they must have hope in this country.
The children are the future of this country; we can do more for the children. We should be more afraid of the children than even the adult because the level of investment in them will tell on this country. Leaders must move closer to the children and that is exactly what you have seen my wife and I do today.

I have been reporting for several years now and I am very interested in visual news reportage with strong inclusion of photos and video multimedia.

Now Ile Ife has a king...........A king that is not after federal government contracts(Unlike his predecessor). As mighty as Ile Ife is, it should have been more developed and civilized than it is now but thank God the old things have passed away. God bless Oba Ogunwusi!!!

FOOL. YOU PEOPLE MUST HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY EVEN WHEN ONE IS TRYING HARD TO CARRY HIS PEOPLE ALONG. IS IT THE OBA THAT SHOULD BE PROVIDING GOOD SCHOOL AND HEALTH CARE FOR HIS LOCAL CITIZENRIES. IF SO, YOUR FATHER MIGHT AS WELL PROVIDE FOR YOUR COMMUNITY. IDIOT. COMMENT FROM PEOPLE LIKE YOU WILL NEVER MAKE THE GOVERNMENT WAKE UP TO THEIR OBLIGATION/RESPONSIBILITIES
