According to him, the official showing of the project is to actually let everybody that matters in the country to know that whenever there is will, there is a way.<\/p>\n

The Ooni said, \u201cA 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to buy in Nigeria, we need to produce in Nigeria including our housing needs.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd our project here is a city on its own. It is over 100 thousand square meter and we are trying to showcase what is possible in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t need to leave the government to do everything for us and I believe Nigeria will be in a better place if we rise up to support the government at all levels.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are always blaming the government, including the media, but what are we all doing individually for our dear country?\u201d<\/p>\n
