In a statement released by the Palace, the Ooni disclosed that he got tagged on Twitter a few months ago by a young man who made a brilliant pencil drawing of him. He noted that the boy was invited to the palace in appreciation for his work.
According to the Ooni, " The 17 year old superlative Samuel who is just about to graduate from secondary school has been adopted by me ( Ooni), his fees till his tertiary education will be taken care of by me, and he will be gainfully employed right here in my palace.
"Its clear that if we all work together as a people, irrespective of our special positions or privileged social status, we can deliver access to sustainable socioeconomic opportunity that suit our people. It was an endless gratitude for me meeting his mother who is a corn seller and who demonstrates an incredible heart of motherhood. She reveres in awe of the Stool of Oduduwa at the sight of me.
"I thank God for the position he has put me in. Since my ascension, my Royal Stool is dedicated to ambitious young Nigerian populations who are daily pushing hard through the barriers of economy instability and uncertainties to gain better livelihood and reconstruct the multifarious challenges that are existential to our survival as a nation.
Oba Ogunwusi further reaffirm his commitments to continuing in the mission of discovering beautiful souls like Samuel, who need help. He promised to continue to help and support outstanding talents.
