Development can only be achieved through purposeful leadership, believe in a common purpose and absolute faith in God.
We wish to thank all members of OLOMORO Telescope. As the name implies, Asaba, Abuja and the world will be viewing OLOMORO with a telescope; while OLOMORO will inturn be viewing Asaba, Abuja and the world with a telescope all for the sole purpose of development for the Community.
The internet is a dynamic and veritable tool for change; therefore, we will appeal that caution and self control be applied in our choice of words. Remember that if you can read this note, you are either already an elite or an aspiring elite/future leader. Don't let us down.
This forum may be used for sharing information primarily on Olomoro. Since Olomoro cannot live in isolation, related information on Isoko and Delta State that is of benefit to Olomoro can also be shared here.
