The Ooni of Ife, His Imperial Majesty, Oba Enitan Adeyeye Ogunwusi Ojaja ll, on Thursday, has launched the first indigenous network marketing company called Organic Remedies.
Ooni said the company used to produce the herbs in solving health challenges such as COVID-19 and other related issues.
The monarch unveiled a series of traditional medicines, made from local herbs, that boost human’s immune system against infectious diseases, including the rampaging Coronavirus (COVID-19).
The product launch, which held at the Ile Oodua Palace of Ile-Ife on Thursday, was done through a platform called Herbal Remedies with the Ooni as the Chairman, in partnership with ace traditionalist, Dr. Akintunde Ayeni, C.E.O/Chairman of YEMKEM International LTD.
Addressing newsmen, the Ooni wondered why the African continent imports medicines and other medical ingredients from developed countries.
The monarch said “in tandem with my unwavering commitment to harnessing the efficacy of our herbs in solving health challenges such as COVID-19 and other related issues, today, I launched the first indigenous network marketing company called Organic Remedies.
“Traditional herbs are materials of our culture. They are significant treasures that our forebears passed down to us and we must be enthralled by such precious gifts and accord them maximum recognitions that they deserve in shaping our economy and bolstering the depth of our richness as people.
“It is crystal clear that the scourge of the COVID-19 pandemic has forced everyone globally to think outside the box for ways in which to combat this grave virus and the creation of Motorized Modular fumigators which I introduced and distributed country wide at the inception of COVID-19 has been a critical solution with a milestone of several opportunities. It is essential for us as a nation and the continent of Africa to look inwards and find compelling solutions to our various complex problems.
“In light of all this, we have now launched an immune booster under organic remedies that also targets the symptoms of coronavirus alongside other viruses by simply boosting the immune system.
“This immune booster has been duly certified by NAFDAC for distribution. We’ve also launched other organic drugs that are capable of improving and preventing specialized ailments.
“It is our goal to empower 100,000 youths in the next 15 months through the network marketing system.
“I employ all energized youths looking to earn a living or looking to add extra funding to their daily income to come onboard with organic remedies and grow the socioeconomic space for themselves as an alternative medium of solving some of the unemployment challenges that abound in Nigeria.
“Again, it is my greatest joy in finding means and avenues for youths and young ones to showcase their energies and bring life to their vision.
“Together, we can reconstruct our health system, unveil the richness of our herbs and significantly engage the ingenuities of our young populations as the only benchmark for our economic transformation.
“Lastly, I am using this medium to offer a special gratitude to the Federal Executive Council under the leadership of Mr. President for the approval of the development and regulation of herbal medicines.
“God bless Nigeria, God bless Africa, God bless all descendants of Oduduwa,” Ooni stated.
