Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, Ooni of Ile-Ife, has called on Nigerians to stop blaming the government always, but to rather do something for the betterment of the country.
Ogunwusi made the call during an official showcase of Ojaja City in Akure on Friday.
The Ooni stated that his passion for the country motivated him to undertake this project, with the aim of reducing the housing deficit.
According to him, the official showing of the project is to actually let everybody who matters in the country know that whenever there is a will, there is a way.
The Ooni said, “A lot of good things can happen in this country and if we believe in ourselves, believe in Nigeria that Nigerians can do it, then our deficit of housing will continue to reduce gradually.
“We cannot continue to cry over it. We know that we have a housing deficit in the country, but we need to make do with what we have to get results.
“We need to buy in Nigeria, we need to produce in Nigeria including our housing needs.
“And our project here is a city on its own. It is over 100 thousand square metres and we are trying to showcase what is possible in Nigeria.
“We don’t need to leave the government to do everything for us and I believe Nigeria will be in a better place if we rise to support the government at all levels.
“We are always blaming the government, including the media, but what are we all doing individually for our dear country?”
