However, Ayanfe’s message centered on the importance of knowing one’s roots as a foundation for the future. “My advice to Nigerian youth is no matter how it may be, let us just go back to our roots (where we came from), and that’s self-discovery. Once we know where we are from (our ancestors), it won’t be difficult for us to discover where we are going,” he advised.
