The Ooni of Ife, Oba Enitan Adeyeye Ogunwusi has
advised the people in the country at all levels to imbibe
the spirit of dialogue and compromise to tackle all
problems facing the country

– The monarch said these two tools are strong tools to
moving the nation forward

– He said the absence of dialogue and compromise by
the citizens are the main cause of sectional agitations
in different parts of the country

Oba Enitan Adeyeye, who has been at the forefront of
empowering the youths said secessionist groups such as
Niger Delta Avengers (NDA) and Movement for the
Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), came about because of the current political set-up could not give satisfy their needs.

While addressing a conference organised by All
Progressives Youth Forum (APYF) with the theme, ‘the youth diversity conference 2016,’ the first class monarch urged Nigerians to see the strength in the youths as well as differences in language and culture.
The Ooni of Ife was also part of top Yoruba monarchs, who graced a one-day stakeholders’ meeting aimed at making the teaching of Yoruba language compulsory in all public and private schools in Lagos, about a week ago.

The Ife traditional king stated: “It is frustration that has led them (youths) to do what they are doing. They cannot fish in their water, they cannot farm on their land, yet nearby people are taking billions from oil. The people are peaceful people.

“We need to appease to them. Its difficult to build but its very easy to destroy. Look at the history of Nigeria
politically and economically, its been very peaceful, the
people of the South-south have been very peaceful.
“Look at the people of the South-east of this country; very wonderful people. We know they can not stay in one place, they are driven by commerce, they are driven by activities moving all over the country, you found them everywhere and that is one of their greatest strength.”

While also speaking on the blame game of why the country is not moving forward presently, he said: “If we continue to deceive ourselves that help will come from Europe or China, we are deceiving ourselves. Our help is with us already, the youths are the solution to our challenges. Let us talk less of our challenges but emphasis on our strengths.”
