The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, has acquired 30
square miles of land in Ile Ife for cocoa, oil palm and
rubber plantation.
The monarch stated that the agricultural investment
would create jobs for no fewer than 40,000 youths,
adding that this move would further reduce crime rate in
Ile Ife and the state.
Ogunwusi, who said this in a statement made available to
our correspondent in Osogbo by the Director, Media and
Public Affairs of Ooni’s Palace, Mr. Moses Olafare, said he
would dedicate the year 2016 to youth development.
This project, Olafare explained, was apart from the resort
being built by the monarch where about 3,000 youths
were currently engaged.
The statement read, “Kabiyesi has dedicated the new year
2016 to turn around the fortunes of the youth by
unfolding a new vista of hope in terms of gainful
employment. Already, no fewer than 3,000 youths are
engaged at ongoing project site of Ife Grand Resort,
spanning over 1000 acres of land established by the
monarch to provide job opportunities for the people.
“Specifically, the targets of Ooni Ogunwusi are beyond
the shores of Ile Ife and critical arrangements have
reached the advanced stage to take the unemployed
youths off the streets, with a view to checking the
growing crime rate in our society.
“To achieve this feat, 30 square miles of land had been
acquired at Ife reserve to drive massive agricultural
revolution which would pave the way for cocoa, oil palm
and rubber plantation. This scheme would create job
opportunities for no fewer than 40,000 people.”

hmmmm...........good one.......

We hope so

That is not your role.
Your role is to be spiritual head of the yoruba religion. Culture,tradition and ifa.
Is it not a problem if the Ooni is not enlightened enough to know his place.
He has close to 150 million Active practitioners of the yoruba religion and all the modern branches(Ifa, Santeria ) at his fingertip yet they run after the petty chicken change they get from government contracts.
Leave job creation to the state government and fulfil your role and destiny for the benefit of the oodua nation.
I hope some of the men in the diaspora will travel back home and work on him.
Just building a first grade ifa university ( a university broken away from the ignorance of Christianity and Islam with strong support for science and technology )and the biggest ifa temple will go a long away to turning Ile ife into a global centre of religion,pilgrimages education,culture,arts and tourism.

'Leave job creation to the state government'.......How many have been created in the last 17 years?
