The ‘Adun Ife’ Humanitarian Club has today 9th of September, 2023 inaugurated new members of Executive that would be in charge of the affairs of the club for 3Years, as the founder, Sir. Olufunsho Adejare Aderoju sought for the government and public support to enhance the work of the club.
Adejare, while narrating the journey so far and motive behind the establishment of the club, he said due to cases of divorce that has rampant in the society which can later end with negative impacts on the generations of the couple and creates enemity among two families where husband and wife come from.
He added that, he present programs in various Radio station and some notable social media handles to metigate the divorce cases in the society and enlighten the affected couple on how to live together in a peaceful manner.
He concluded that, the club also supports some vulnerable people in the society and those that are not financially okay to live a better life.
According to him “no one is financing us, we contribute within ourselves to finance any project we want to embark on but we are seeking for support from individuals and government. We want government to support us financially because we cannot do it alone without them. Government should also see this program as a marrital issues mediator because God has used this program to find solution to various Marriages that almost crashed”, he said.
“The reason why i established this kind of Club is because there a lot of divorce cases in our society. And when couple have dispute, they do call police to intervene or sue each other at the court of law.
“Domestic violence also happens in many families, which is not good because it has negative influence on their children and future generations. I also noticed that when wife arrest husband or vice versa, the family of the victim among them will never want to see the person who arrest their son/daughter. Due to all these marrital issues i sensitize and orientate couple on how to uphold their home.
“I present Radio Programs tittled ‘Adun Ife’ on OGBC every Sunday, 6:10pm, Okun Ebi on Sweet FM every Sunday 10:00pm, Alajobi on Splash FM every Wednesday 9:45pm. I am doing all these so that my message will reach anyone who is having one or two problems in his matrimonial home; so that the problems they are battling with will not cause sickness for them.
“I further take my program to YouTube ( Adun Ife on YouTube) and Facebook (Adun Ife Fans Club on Facebook Page) where i discuss about marrital affairs so that when people see it, it will calm them and make them forget any challenges they are facing in their matrimonial home and live a better life.
“In order to lesser my stress because i need some people who can support me for the success of the program, i established this Club where i started from Whattsapp Platform in September 9, 2021 here in Ogun and Lagos State.
“This club has also prepared 500 copies of Exercise Book to distribute to students who there parents are not financially buoyant at the Primary School where our Patron, Alh. Chief Abdullateef Adenekan attended in his honour.
The newly sworn-in chairman of the Club, Alh. Ademola Mashood sought for God intervention in his administration and urged the members to be committed to the development of the club to succeed in any programs it embark on.
“I put everything in the hand of God Almighty and i want him to grant our wish in helping vulnerable people in the society. I want to charge my members to try as much as possible to always willing to contribute before we can seek support from outsider.
“If people see what we are doing and realized that we are doing it with sincerity, they will support us. Even, any of our members who need support can also benenefit from any project we do.
