Reptyle: Nice submissions. Most "Kogites", just like the larger Nigerian society, like to look for simple solutions. When you point out the pervasive ineptitude in all sphere of governance in the state, they'll be quick to blame it on the Igalas, Egbiras and what not as if the likes of Sen. Smart Adeyemi, Hon. Dino Melaye e.t.c. have fared any better with all the humongous constituency allowance they cart away every month. Just like you pointed out, all the state needs is that ONE person with the will to set her on the right course; and unfortunately, I don't see such person amongst those clowns parading themselves as 'politicians' in the state. To even think Abubakar Audu is the 'best governor' the state has produced since the advent of democracy is a big indictment on the people of the state and that, is a big SHAME... 1 Like |

Valentinooo: I thought you already have a captain doing that already, or do you still need another captain for the job? Lol! I agree with you on Idris Wada...such a huge disappointment. Abubakar Audu still holds the record as the best performing governor we have had...and even he at best could be regarded as mediocre when compared with other States. |

abu12:What are you talking about? A state with enough resources but can't manage it should be fighting for more? Must it be Oil? |
Re: Is Kogi A Failed State? by Nobody: 2:13pm On Aug 26, 2014 |
lilprinze: with all these points above I would blame it on bad,corrupt, greedy and selfish leadership even states who don't have half of what kogi has are richer and more developed than kogi stateWhen they kept electing Mediocres as leaders. From Prince Audu Abubakar, to Ibrahim Idris and Now Idris Wada... |

With all the abundant resources in Kogi state, it should be one of the top five states in Nigeria. But yet again, leadership qualities are significantly missing. |
Re: Is Kogi A Failed State? by jamace(m): 2:27pm On Aug 26, 2014 |
Oklander: Very senseless move by greedy incompetent government if you ask me. why fight for more resources that isn't even yours while you have enough already and simply failed and failing to utilize or can't utilize because of your incompetency or don't simply want to utilize!!!Have you been to the disputed oil fields? If not, try and visit there so that you be more informed. For your info, I know the locations of the disputed oil wells and I can authoritatively tell you that they are in Kogi State. Those particular oil wells are in IBAJI LGA of Kogi State. |

There are two things that can keep a people underdeveloped these are 1) Curse 2) The mindset of the People Most of you blaming the leadership failed to realised that leaders are elected amongst the people ie they are not dropped from heaven Except a people are cursed, the way they view and approach issues around them can hinder their growth For example How do the Igalas think heaven will bless the work of their hands after denying others an opportunity to rule. Tivs, Northern and Central Abians, Muslim Northerners who think cheating their neighbours will attract divine help should think twice. |

3cycle: I served in kogi state in 2010/2011, left and then passed through the same town earl this year but menh I was highly dissappointed with the things I saw. Still the same old town with nothing new to Show for it except that my boyfriend then now owns a pure water factory and lives in GRA with the rich I served in Kogi too so I understand what you're saying. That's why till I left I never stop 'preaching' to my students to travel out to other states for university education and see what's out there. Its like there's this imaginary ceiling limiting people. |

And Kogi State share the same fate with Nigeria. When you bring too many different people together, surely there will never be unionism. |

abu12: why fight for what is not yours ? If there is oil on kogi's soil, why dont they drill a new oil well in their territory, not along the border, not in anambra and lets see what they can do with that oil. |
Re: Is Kogi A Failed State? by EasternLeopard: 3:22pm On Aug 26, 2014 |
crudedude: Any society that denies another their rights do experience that imaginary ceiling limiting their progress Take a look at Abia state As long as Ngwas are denied their rights, development will elude those who supports that policy and those who fail to kick against it when the opportunity arise Anambra have supported power going to Anambra North. Mark my words, Anambra will go far Imo has always supported JUSTICE FOR ALL Enugu and Ebonyi I can't say because I know next to nothing |

They dominate every sector of the government and they ain't even doing shii.I can't quote them all but all your posts here are right on point! haywire07: Maybe kogi will b better if okene is removed *no insult intended* bt those pple can burn cars and kill pple fr killing a dog..there's natural hatred existing among them ,so how do u xpect development where theres no unity?^^^And this right here tops the list of the most brainless comments I have ever seen on nairaland. |
Re: Is Kogi A Failed State? by flexxyworld(m): 3:37pm On Aug 26, 2014 |
What else do you expect from a state that can't make a revenue from the so called #CONFLUENCE. That alone can go along way in the development of the state, badt governance and un civilisation and almost all what the OP mention have failed in lokoja aside obajana. I prefer God deliver that state |

Hmmm na wa for ndi Kogi oo,with such natural resource the state would"ve been the envy of all nigerian state combined but the Governor and its people are too short sightted with little advancement. |
