very simple.”

Natalie
Babbitt was an American writer and illustrator of children's books in her thought provoking
book titled ELEGANCE: THE PHILOSOPHY OF SIMPLICITY submitted in a quote that
“Like
all magnificent things, it's very simple.” 
Such can be said to be the story of
the man, Ooni of Ife, His highness,Enitan Adeyeye Ogunwusi, Ojaja II, who is
said to be nothing but a child of destiny. But he did have a prophetic birth –
destined for greatness.
Today, Ooni Ogunwusi, from the stock
of the Giesi Ruling House, fulfills his destiny as he receives the staff of
office from the government as the 51st Ooni of Ife, on the throne of the
legendary Oduduwa, progenitor of Yoruba. Ooni Ogunwusi has a great pedigree,
descending from Ooni Ojaja Orasigba who reigned from 1878 to 1880, as the 44th
Ooni of Ife. Ojaja Orasigba begat Adegosan Adewole Ogunwusi, who gave birth to
Joseph Olagbaju Adewole Ogunwusi (Jnr), the father of Prince John Oluropo
Ogunwusi, the father of Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi – the present Ooni of Ife.
Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi is, unarguably, a true 21st century monarch who is
bringing grace, elegance, style and
intellectualism to the premier throne of the Yoruba race.
intellectualism to the premier throne of the Yoruba race.
Such grace and simplicity is what
makes the Oni to be different from traditional chief of those days that hardly leaves
their palace or attend external functions, not anymore, the present day Oni,
leaves and mix freely with youths,
footballers and musicians, and it is no wonder that come tomorrow, at the MIKE
OMOTOSHO ANNUAL LECTURE 2017, he has been named as the father of the day and
will be giving the keynote speaking duty
Confirming this, Dr Mike Omotosho told CERUTTI MEDIA that he is excited that his Oba, friend and brother will be attending the 2017 lecture live, speaking in a similar vein as to what motivated the lecture, Dr Omotosho stressed that “ I have spent the better part of my life touching lives all over, it has become my lifestyle; I touch widows, orphans and the mammoth less privileged all over, not just in my state Kwara

This trait was to eventually
continue when I became A Rotary Governor, that herculean seat saw me traveling
all over doing same thing, impacting life, and do not forget every January 14th
which is my birthday used such day not for merriment with myself and family, I
use that day to dedicate being with
masses, so since I HAVE been doing that myself and under Rotary, I felt it is
only logical and practical that every January 14th instead of just
being with the less privileged or widows/orphans, why not face a very large
crowd, the public and bring up topic of discussion that if well implemented by
listening audience can change their lives for good, hence the motivation of the
annual Mike Omotosho lecture
On his message for youths who have
phobia for agriculture the astute Omotosho divulged that The “Youths of today
must be enlightened on the benefit of them loving and taking agriculture as
full fledge career, it is not a crime to do something different today to boost
the low or less-fancied image of
agriculture among many youths today, for example we have many private Universities, the Afe
Babalola University; the Igbinedion University; the Elizade universities, so
why not we come up, say with a full fledge agriculture University like the
University of Cassava, where young student can learn all about the billions
that come out from the end result of the Cassava circle? We must make every
effort to change the perception our youths have on agriculture today, and we
hope that the Mike Omotosho 2017 lecture, tagged: Agricultural sector in view
of unveiling opportunities available within and proposing solutions for
lingering challenges in the Nigerian Agricultural sector towards a sustainable
economic growth." Will in no
small way help change the bad mentality many nurse about agriculture
