AN OPEN LETTER TO OJOBIANS - FANTI B. COVENANT (YOUTH LEADER)
MY DEAR COMPATRIOTS
It is from my inner mind to formally write this open letter to all Ojobians, but mostly concerns the youths to arise and take us to the promise land.
Ojobo Community is a place where God purposely blessed with large land scale, educated people, talented people, charismatic and pragmatic people, and most importantly the oil. We have all it takes to be one of the most developed communities in the Ijaw nation, but we are still stagnant in one place as interior village while we owns the Benisede flowstation and shell is operating in the community till date without giving us our entitlements. Where are the indigenous lawyers and leaders?.
It is quite unfortunate that there is no electricity in the community while shell is enjoying constant electricity and purified water only in their company-yard with our oil. Its too shameful that Ojobo has nothing to boast of except the oil and we are not even benefiting from it. I usually share tears whenever I recall the last time I visited Gbesa Grammar school, everywhere in the school premises has turned to an evil forest, that is why most students in the school are not serious with their studies, just because there are no teachers, science facilities, chairs and all the class-rooms are malodorous and so tartareous. Where are the top politicians from the community?.

In 2007, Ojobo community produced four vital political offices (Council Chairman, Commissioner for transport/agriculture, State house of assembly and Federal house of Representative), and there was no tangible development from these above mentioned offices. Getting all these offices from one community is a good political track-record, but nothing to remember the representatives at all. What were they doing during their time in office?
The right time has come for all Ojobo youths to come together and do something out of nothing, before the blowing wind push us to early grave, there is no need or good reason for us to sit-down in one place and keep depending on our leaders that has failed their generation woefully. there's God oooooooooh
The constituted time for us to elect new Executive Council to pilot the affairs of our beloved community has come again. However, I would like to create this avenue to urge the youths to premeditate before taking any critical or drastic decision. Some of us are making wrong decisions just because of money, and that has been jeopardizing our lucent future. Why? Why?.
Lets not repeat our past records like the year 1994, 1999 and 2002. During these mentioned years, a lot of things (marriages were scattered, lives were lost, properties were vandalized) went wrong which we haven’t recovered some of them till date. Finally, I said it last year communal general election and I will still continue to say again and again that politics is not a do or die affair. Do not sell your vote, your vote is your yours, Therefore, always respect and protect your vote.
God let your will be done.
Your’s faithful,
(Youth leader)
