We join our voice to the Isoko Need Light Campaign.
Now that the elections are here, Isoko politicians and Delta leaders alike are all over the communities canvassing for votes in darkness, not many have mentioned what they will do differently when elected.
Just play with the Isoko electorate, give them rice and leave until the next election season
No Light No Campaign in Isoko.

Archiving our Isoko history.
The International African institute in their anthropological and linguistic study of Africa gave the first grant to Missionary Rev. J.W Welch a Christian Missionary Society (CMS) for his documented work on the Isoko People of Southern Nigeria in its 1932 report.
James Welch traversed the Isoko Upland and Riverine territory in 1920s to early 1930s.
Though his respective accounts of our kingdoms may not be full proof and correct because apparently he was colonial missionary and his account will always come with some bias and all, he documented the earliest set of written history in print of the Isoko people which was a huge deviation from the developed Isoko oral, artistic and sculptural documentation style of the time.
