In his address, Prince Eniola Adeyemi emphasized the unifying power of football and music among youths. These two activities have the ability to bring young people together, creating a sense of unity and shared purpose. By investing in football and music, Prince Adeyemi believes that the government can provide opportunities for youths to develop their talents, build positive relationships, and contribute to the development of their communities.

Prince Adeyemi also highlighted the potential for football and music to promote social cohesion and community engagement. When young people come together to play football or make music, they are able to put aside their differences and focus on a common goal. This can help to break down social barriers and foster a sense of community spirit. By supporting initiatives like the Ramadan Football competition, Prince Adeyemi hopes to inspire more young people to get involved in football and music, and to experience the many benefits that these activities have to offer.

Finally, Prince Adeyemi advised the Owode Descendants to secure sponsorships from prominent brands like Indomie and Coca-Cola for future editions of the Ramadan Football Competition. This, he believes, will not only make the competition more lively but also provide opportunities for participants to receive exciting gift items, motivating them to perform at their best.
