The person that did this video is an idiot that yeye bello pays 40 thousand monthly. I'm in lokoja since last year and I regret being there everyday

NIGERIA is truly beautiful. I miss it

This is serious

Damidave1124:
My state capital

To be sincere, Lokoja is not anywhere near being called a city. Yahaya Bello is too clueless to turn Lokoja into a city.

All he knows how to do is pay 30 percent salary to local government and primary school teachers school teachers. Just imagine a family man who's supposed to be earning 120k, and he's paid 35k, how is he gonna survive?

The funniest part is if dare say anything against his government, that little money that's coming every month will be stopped.

May God help us in Kogi State.

Come to Enugu to see development
And see what is called a city not this nonsense

offiahvictor:
local state

Poor state

Datikwerreboi:
Lokoja is unarguably the worst and most local state capital in Nigeria

omg he still dey owe salary? What is he doing then this capital worst too much,no wonder he likes going to Abuja and he bought presidential form? Chai this guy supposed be locked up reason why I don't really support youth as governor

UncleJudax:

Lol. Lokoja is a city?

A lot of states in Nigeria are really being ruthlessly robbed by these heartless politicians.

Abia, Imo, Benue, Plateau, North East states, kogi, Osun etc

have u been to osun before? Enter their capital before spitting trash

Nice video tour of the ehmmm .... city.... capital city. I'm not sure if the purpose was to promote Lakoja or Bello.... or mock both. If was to promote then video tour of Lakoja, Kogi State would've been good enough.... but not the State capital.... that's embarrassing. Tell us about the tribal mix and simply it was rated a second class town would've been all good... but not since 1917 ... that's a shame because more than 100 years later it now looks like a bustling village. Where is the commercial center of this city?.... no stores... no public transportation ... no offices... no one looks like they're going or coming from work ....no parks .... no streets ... not many cars... hardly any commercial vehicles... was there ever any town planning?... does the
city have potable water? If the aim was to mock Kogi and Bello ... fantastic job! .... village leader want to lead country!

Don't let nobody sugarcoat anything or show you some shitty and rigorously edited crap
Kogi is a very shitty state and lokoja Isn't befitting to be called a town talk more of a city
This isn't hate but coming from a first person perspective
Peace!!

Grgton:
haha it's a zebra

Or crocodiles...

All hail yéyé balloon

Sniper101:
I went through the video, I laughed.

Before now, I thought Benin city is ancient, local and dirty. Lol. But now i see that Lokoja is even worse

You no fit compare Benin with lokoja.

Benin is too big for that town. Lokoja is the size of Idah and Ajaka combined. Agbor even big pass Lokoja. Benin in terms of infrastructure beat lokoja five million times... Forget say Benin lack good roads, Omo e better pass Lokoja five million times...

Kogi state na dead state

The video covered mostly the ancient and old part of the town which covers the major highway used by passengers coming from the East to Abuja

Lokoja has pipe borne water. Some areas mostly the Modern part even have 24 hours electricity.

Offices are located in the newer areas of the city.

There is traffic normally in the mornings around Ganaja junction where there is an ongoing overhead bridge. I have a big wholesale store around there.

The poster is a real time joker. That is my state. There's nothing there. This is only Lugard road which is government house road. I challenge you to show all the major roads in Lokoja. Shame on you.

Lokoja is a city in Nigeria. It lies at the confluence of the Niger and Benue rivers and is the capital of Kogi State.

While the Oworo, Bassa Nge and Nupe are indigenous to the area, other ethnic groups of Nigeria, including the Kupa-Nupe, Hausa, Ebira, Igala, Igbo, Bini/Edo, and Tiv have recently established themselves. Projected to be the third fastest growing African continent city between 2020 and 2025, with a 5.93% growth. 

it's was listed a second class township by the 1917 township ordinance of the colonial administration. This shows that Lokoja is a old city.

Unfortunately you forgot to mention the Kakandas, that òyìnbó met by the riverside while oworo on on top of hill hill.
At the that time all the tribes you mentioned were not existing then.

Thank you!... makes no sense for OP to hype the town then take us on a tour of the ancient section making us believe what we are seeing is the highlight of one of the fastest developing ehmmm..... cities in the whole of Africa. Maybe you should do a drive around the modern sections and help balance this unfair coverage.
I was wondering why so few cross roads.... and with the divider.... how long one has to travel before getting the chance to turn back.

Why not post and help us get a better impression?

I'm sorry, but Lokoja is just....zero. a clear indication of continuous poor leadership that has plagued Kogi for a long time. A sensible leader would've taken taken advantage of Lokoja's strategic location as major transit hub, just like Benin, to generate much needed Revenue that's then invested in the city's.....sorry, village's infrastructure. And being a confluence town, I don't see why they haven't taken advantage of that e.g. marine services transporting people btw the farmlands of the North down commercial south via the Niger river.

Very useless state. Nothing good is coming from that state in the next 50years

telim:

Were do you stay in lokoja? Is being years i visit that town, will be coming to lkj next week to see my ppl in maigaris' palace

I stay at Lokongoma, beside synagogue church

Your stylishly advertising that failure of the governor. Dead on arrival project!

Weh done ọ!!!

But they've been surviving like we all have been surviving. If we haven't been surviving, these wicked souls in government would have tasted the true wrath of a people united by pains.

I think all we want is just to survive his evil regime. No one is willing to fight him, even if you try, the person will be harassed or arrested by security operatives.

what will you now say about governor ortom of benue another confused and clueless governor with no vision…they are all bunch of salary paying governors that’s all no plan to move the state forward…Benue state has not experienced any significant changes since 1999 except Fulani herdsmen

sirsugar:

After the conclusion of the screening he embarked on in 2016, he has been paying percentage salary to primary school teachers and local government workers.

Abuja is his first home

I think Ortom of Benue should be better. Although it's been long I visited Benue state, but the last time I was there, Markurdi beats Lokoja hands down.

Or crocodiles...

lol

Ekpoma is more developed than lokoja
