I feel ashame thinking about Kogi State always.

OPPORTUNITIES IN KOGI STATE

•Out of 31mineral resources in Nigeria, Kogi has 27.

•By landmarks Kogi is bigger than Lagos.

•Kogi is the first federal catipal territory in Nigeria before Lagos.

• Ajaokuta steel company alone can beat many countries' natural resources.

• The fertile land in Eastern and western part of the state can make us compete with Benue as food basket of the nation.

BUT NO DEVELOPMENT BECAUSE

1. Lost opportunities. Our past KINGs had many golden opportunities squandered away. The federal government wanted building airport in Ankpa but the Onuh at that time refused citing that they don't have enough land to give to white men.
The federal government proposed Barrack same in Ankpa but the King said the sholddiers will finish their daughters.
Dekina would have being the economic hub but the King troubled the white and they left there to settle at Onisha and you can imagine the economic boom in Onisha till date (although I equally know Igbos as economic technocrats).

2. Foundational issues. During the reign of Ameh Oboni 1, there were many sacrifices that were done to fortify the land to an extent of using his daughter for atonement. His successors may not have been able to follow his steps in those sacrifices dilligently and that may have great effect on the descendants except those who strongly believe in their God.

3. Fetish practices. I know Africans to be spiritual but the fetish practices in Edo, Ogun, Kogi, Akwa Ibom, Benue and other related states is so alarming but the unfortunate thing about Kogi is that they don't know how to convert their charms to Money making machine unlike Edo.

4. Poor political leadership. I know Nigeria doesn't have good leaders and Kogi is an example of it.
Prince Abubakar brought University but he killed his administration with pride.
We thought we have had enough of Abubakar not knowing that after him, the political leadership will be in downward slide.
Ibro Idris did not bring development but pay salary
Wada started half salary but paid every workers.
Yahaya Bello sacked many civil servants without replacement and called them ghost workers and the people that are not in his good books like any employee through Dino and other PDP'S doesn't get paid. Even though you are in APC and your godfather is not in his good books be sure no salary for you.
Money for infrastructural development and for civil servants that he embezzled without singular project in the state is what he is trusting vying for President.

5. Poor mentality. While Igbos compete with their brothers and try to overtake them for who have the highest money, my Kogi brothers witch-hunt their brothers for being successful. That's why you see many of the rich men investing and spending their money in the cities without doing much in their hometowns for fear of being killed. In fact they prefer helping other people than their own people except for few individuals.


6. Ignorance. Many of them don't know it but they believe they know more than you that knows it. So even trying to help them requires lots of wisdom because of their interpretation to the help you want to render.
There are more to it but let me stop here while the elders in the land will tell us more.
