It was on October 2019 it happened, the people of Otuokpoti Community in Ogbia Local Government Area of Bayelsa State woke up to find out that Erosion was eating their community. It threw everyone into panic because the community had not witness such in more that 30 years, in fact, the last time it happened was when Late Milford Okilo was Governor of Old Rivers State and then it was handled.

An SOS message was sent to the State and Federal Government but until 2020 neither State or Federal Government did anything about it that was when Mr Jephther Yokorogha, a philanthropist and an Entrepreneur who hails from Otakeme in Ogbia Local Government of Bayelsa State stepped into help. By July 2020, he brought in a Dredger and other equipments to fill up the place.

On why he was touched to assist the community, in his words he said

"I heard of what happened to the community, I felt their pain so I decided to assist. I am a Bayelsan, it is the duty of Bayelsans to assist each other, that is the only way our state can grow. I met the Community king and told him I will assist, I brought the Equipment and started the work"

The paramount ruler of Otuokpoti community, HRH A.C.T Wongo noted that the intervention has brought relief to the people, describing the philanthropist as the second Melford Okilo.
