A Powerful Write up From A Fedpoffa Student About Ojoku Day Anniversary

What's next?
Is celebration what's next?
Before a celebration Can took place, there must be a tangible or reasonable for it. Is it a new development that brought a celebration or new company in our land that we are celebrating
Ojoku was never the best and next step for a village that continue to remain in the same look even after decades, this yearly celebration never have developmental or economical advantage on this blessed land. Or are we talking about like 3 or 4days boom in the town and after those days the ones lousy and lively town will went to sleep till next year, or are we talking about the land that's tasty of young bones but full of elderly peoples and fulanis who are managing the town when the owners went away till another ojoku day, ask some reasonable elders in the town how hard and sad they are seeing virtually only aged fellow roaming the town, I witness a scenario when the tiles in a mosque around obeles compound has already been decaying because it's only aged people worshiping there and no strength for them to clean it up, and I never go alone I was with an outsider and was mocked like it was more than that, I was ashamed because am Part of those who cause that, since I was born I have never live in ojoku for a week than when I was an infant which I was told
Can we just stop the altitude of running to Lagos after we are done with school cert?
Is this the same town that has produced Rep, senator, director, get al but their father land remain in the same shape of it's ancient look? We are all guilty of the problem and it's duty of me and you to collectively find solutions to it in a shorter possible time
Ojoku day is not the next and best thing now, why can't we use the money we are giving away to saheed osupa that will add nothing to life and look of the town than to that of Lagos base who will be only proud of hearing their name in the record?
We will build it ourselves, nobody will do it than me and you
May Almighty Allah bless and protect us all
