Ejeben Advises Urhobo Youths To Shun Blackmail, Embrace Political Maturity.

By Henry Ubus.

Multiple award-winning philanthropist and CEO of the Wilson Ejeben Foundation, Chief Wilson Brume Ejeben, has offered heartfelt advice to Urhobo youths regarding political participation, emphasizing the importance of patience, character, and respect for leadership.

In a recent post shared across his social media platforms, Chief Ejeben cautioned young people against the growing trend of political desperation and character assassination in a bid for recognition.

“In this life, everything has its time and season,” he wrote. “When it comes to politics, my advice is simple: take it easy. Don’t be in a hurry. Learn it step by step, with patience and understanding. Politics is not something you rush into like a market fight. You watch, you listen, and you learn.”

He decried the attitude of pulling others down to climb the political ladder, noting that such acts though they may gain temporary attention ultimately lead to lost opportunities and closed doors.

“This attitude of pulling people down, trying to blackmail leaders just to make yourself visible, will not take you far,” he warned. “Respect those ahead of you. Let your time come naturally, through your good works and character, not through jealousy and backstabbing.”

Using a relatable analogy, the renowned philanthropist likened politics to farming, stating, “You don’t plant today and expect to harvest tomorrow. Learn well, behave well, and your own season will surely come.”

Chief Ejeben concluded his message with a clarion call:

“Abeg make we respect our Urhobo leaders.”

The respected community figure has long been recognized for his selfless contributions to society, and his message is seen as a timely reminder for youths to build leadership through integrity, humility, and service.
