These guys are all okun who do not have strong influence in kogi yet,they are restricted to kogi West also they were ministry of health and justice which are not strong for infrastructure like works,power,Agriculture etc

This was your assertion "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?" and I went on to list not only "strong representatives" but influential senators from "minority" tribe in Kogi. I also listed Bayo Ojo & Eyitayo Lambo (forgot about Kola Jamodu & David Jemibewon) and if you know how powerful as Ministers these men were in their time, you would know it's not by simply occupying "strong" office.
Do you remember who the works & housing minister was just before Fashola? Or the minister for power? A political office is only as powerful or effective as the person that occupies it.
I can tell you for free that Bayo Ojo & Eyitayo Lambo were members of Obasanjo's inner caucus & nothing could be more powerful than that; having unfettered access to the number 1 citizen, not just anyone but OBJ!
And yes, Minister for Justice is a powerful office anywhere in the world & if you're in doubt, the present occupier of the office in Nigeria is a case in point.

The only reason for your opinion is because you are from Abia, whose capital is competing with Lokoja.
Abia is the only state I've every passed through its state house and it's having a very very bad road, I gave up when I heard the govt house is rented.

Stop lying oga...

No bad road leading to govt house.

Also Abia is building their govt house

Masquerade spirit is really hindering the progress of the state.

Most of the indigenous people has ran away to other states looking for greener pastures.
This state is blessed with natural resources and supposed to be a tourist site they have hills and mountains and the weather conditions so cold most expecially at night

Shame on you, for how long and how many years. When was Abia State created, tell me which state in Nigeria stays in a rented Government house? shey you no get shame. When next is Ikpeazu sharing Kerosene and giving 500 Naira to women who gave birth. Start weeping if you are from Abia State

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

Minna own worse pass.

This is despite having 2 former presidents from that same capital.

For those who think by voting your tribes man your fortunes automatically become better, take note.

Only mumu people dey believe say Ikpeaszu share kerosene. I know ur kind and I don't even waste time on your lots.

I am sure ABia is more developed and organized than ur state if you will be bold enough to mention ur state\

DOes your state even do free delivery in PHC? DO the give free baby packs? Is it onlly the N500 you heard?

Umuahia is a shithole. I felt disgusted all through when I visited for two days. In conversation about state capitals or functioning states, Abia State should never come up.

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
most wealthy igbo men and women residing outside igbo land doesn't make igbo land less developed . If an igbo man built a mansion in lagos or Abuja expect him to replicate that fit in his ancestry village.... igbo Amaka
