Is Lokoja Really The Worst Capital In Nigeria? by babasolution: 10:22am On Dec 19, 2022
Have seen several threads and comments were lokoja is described as the worst capital in Nigeria and the most underdeveloped.

But is this really true given the situation of kogi.

Kogi state is composed of minority tribes who do not have strong representatives at the federal. How many strong kogi ministers have there been since 1999.

The federal investments in kogi such as the ajoakuta steel are moribund.The state investments like the dangote cement factory are doing relatively well but it's not enough.

Kogi population is relatively low with different tribes who stay more in their localities than in the capital, that's why I think lokoja is small.

Most kogi people either reside in Abuja or in their hometowns not in lokoja.

Have been in kogi before like over ten years back,I think the state is cool and quite organised. It just needs work on the roads which are particularly bad and clean up.

Lokoja is not bad as people paint it,most people that travel through lokoja only see the outskirts and assume that's how the whole town is.

Lokoja is a small town but not as bad as painted given the situation of the state itself

When we talk about the worst state capital in nigeria, just give to to minna or lokoja. The two states are still far behind

Bad governance is the issue with Kogi

Kogi is arguably one of the richest NorthCentral state, they have most mineral resources in aboundance.

Agriculture is also great there.

For Kogi to get things right, Solid minerals must be removed from FG Exclusive list and mining should strictly be local while tax are paid to FG, locals mine Gem stones and sell it so cheaply since they don't want FG taking over

Ajaokuta alone is enough to sustain Nigerian steel production if coal plant are permitted and Warri-Itakpe - Ajaokuta Rail is used for Cargo

On Agriculture comparative advantage for them is Rice, Yam and fish farming due to nearness to river Niger

And their best of all the best means of revenue is tourism leveraging on very lovely scenery, but to develop that they need infrastructure

On federal representative every States have equal representatives and ministerial each States most also represents. Bad governs cut across Nigeria because those governors are doing below par with the resources they have at hand.they lack prowess to use the human capital and natural resources within their reach

Some states have ministers with stronger portfolios.

When as there been a federal minister from kogi with a strong portfolio that is a big ministry.In this buharis government kogi state as only been represented by the FCT minister of state, that is a deputy minister of a ministry that is limited in scope

Yahaya Bello had a much improved 2nd term, lokoja is by far better than makurdi now. Benue is way behind.

undecidedThe problem with Kogi State is
that it is controlled by two of the most
wicked, fetish, hostile and unprogressive
tribes in Nigeria, which is the Igala & Ebira.


What they specialize in doing, day in
day out is usingwitchcraft and voodoo to target and disable real or imagined enemies.
The motor accident or spiritual attacks is
one of their favorite methods.


A sitting governor was victim of accident
several times & another elected governor
died on the day his electoral victory was
to be announced.❗️❗️❗️

Historically, Lokoja was the initially chosen
location for the capital of northern Nigeria,
but, oyibo changed mind because they
sensed the indigene's character. Note that
the first school in northern Nigeria was
sited there.
