The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi Ojaja II has revealed that he almost committed suicide after a failed business venture.

The monarch made this disclosure while speaking speaking at the maiden edition of ‘Memorable Moments With Music’ at The Muson Centre, Lagos.

According to the Ooni, he had attempted to commit suicide after collecting a loan of N8billion from the bank.

“There is power in music. When I almost committed suicide in my younger age as a real estate business man, it was music that saved my life. Music is a perfect communication with God.

“I had become very successful in the real estate sector at a very young age. I took a loan of N8 billion about 12 years ago to build high rise building which I had to pull down by myself when we were already on the 10th floor, and the money went down the drain.

“Life turned upside down thereafter and the only option was for me to commit suicide, but listening to series of inspirational music reset my thinking faculty.

“I have since then adopted music as a very powerful solution tool when faced with challenge,” Ooni said
