Omoluabi is a symbology and descriptive way of identifying a true born good character of hardwork, integrity and intellectual acumen filled with divine wisdom, this are common sense and attitudes Yoruba are respected for in our environment in the past.

My call is to all my fellow Royal fathers, Yoruba Leaders, parents, teachers and government to take the bull by the horn and join the call for promotion of a total rebirth of Omoluabi (God's Own Begotten Child) virtues in our society.

It is not too late for all of us to join our hands together to build our heritage respectively. We must all start inculcating the act of imbibing the ethos of love, hardwork, integrity and build confidence in our present generations of Youths before its too late.

As a foremost Yoruba monarch and custodian of culture, traditions and norms of my people, I join the Arole Oodua, His Imperial Majesty, Ooni Adeyeye Enitan Babatunde Ogunwusi - Ojaja II and the good people of Ibese Land to pray that may the spirit of our founding fathers continue to help us build more prosperous, united and formidable Yoruba entity.
