Every good point made here usually hits home. I guess it is because we are talking about home. Prince Oguegbe makes a lot sense in observing the kind of leadership (or lack of it) we have Okpofe.
Whereas the 'elders' and leaders have chosen to minimize the intelligence and strength of the 'younger' generation, the younger people have really not made serious efforts to dissuade the 'elders'.
If I didn't believe in the power of a virtual community such as this, to bring people together from far and near to form a solid movement, capable of addressing these issues and bring about change, I would not bother to keep it running.
I do not believe however, that only members of one branch of OIU should be charged to change Okpofe. There is something every one us can and should do. It is probably easier to be relevant if one is closer home. People in the USA have no magic wand to make these issues disappear. You can not bite from a distance.
From the contributions that have been made here at the Town Hall, I do believe though, that with the collective effort of all enthusiastic Okpofe men and women, we can begin to reform our community. A lot of ideas have been suggested, can we beging to look at some of them? We are the people we have been waiting for, to make Okpofe better.
History will not forgive us if we fail to try.
The time to start is now...
