Kogi is the poorest state in West Africa
No presence of government in kogi. From lokoja tru okene to the area of cement companies. The government of Nigeria is wicked both present and past. Buhari support group vehicles where also spotted in that mess.

which section of the road is this?

It was an alternate route inside one push that we went to follow. That's what saved us but we still spent some hours there.

Good roads?
Because Nigeria started in 2015.
Before you complain of Buhari 3 years,why don't you ask about your PDP good 16 years?

What stopped them from fixing it.

There is a big difference between 16 years and 3 years.

And you thought the change was going to be within 3 years because Buhari is a magician that will just snap his fingers and everything will change?

To destroy is even easy to do than to fix ok.

It's unfair that what your PDP couldn't do for 16 years is what you are expecting Buhari and APC to do within 3 years

Don't mind those jokers. To them government started 2015. ..and I think 72 hrs is an exaggeration. A vehicle drove for 72hrs in a 6km journey? I think the writer is trying to be mischievous.
6Km is something a bicycle can do in 15-20mins if the rider is moving at lets say standard 10-15km/hr. There is no truth in that comment.
Either the writer is being tricky or the readers are gullible.
Don't mind them.
They are quick to point out Buhari 3 years in power even with low price of crude oil our major source of income but they will never mention their PDP failed 16 years even though we made so much money this period and Buhari wouldn't have been doing all this projects now if those governments before him were good.

Money which is supposed to be used in fixing our decaying infrastructure is being distributed to some people under the guise of social intervention. I don't know when Nigerians will learn sense? Every now and then we keep voting for dullards and men with low IQ, we later turn back to scream that government is not working.

2019 is coming for us to elect a new leader, but we prefer to vote for a dumb retiree who thinks Nigeria is a retirement compensation plan for himself and his cronies. The pathetic part is supporting a political party who places a professor as the vice president and the president is a tyrant masquerading as a lover of the masses.

How I wish the youths can think objectively and salvage the nation from the wreck in which its found itself.

Our children will someday ask us if we truly voted for an old man to be a President and left the intelligent professor to be his vice. Our children will question our stupidity and will find it hard to wrap their heads around our level of stupidity...

grin grin grin
we shouldn't have voted him cos he used funds for social intervention right? But I bet u voted those that failed to develop this road while in power but rather stashed the funds in foreign currencies in foreign private accounts. Can't u see how imbecilic you are.

Those who stashed our money in foreign accounts deserve to be executed publicly. It sounds so terrible when a supposed man of integrity tells us that the likes of Abacha was not corrupt, but today the money retrieved from the same Abacha is shared to people.

Politicians are not voted to share money, but they're voted to fix our dilapidated infrastructure, not neglecting the aged in our society, but putting in place a sustainable measure towards fixing our society. Shalom grin grin grin

Your gullibility stinks. So you don't even know what a gridlock means? Sometimes you can't even move at all in a gridlock for several hours.

I can only imagine. That road is terrible! God! Passed there a week ago and I wondered if no governor of Kogi state has ever passed through Okene. I was finding it hard to believe that any governor will frequent that road and it'll be in that terrible state.


Yahaya Bello is the most Useless Governor we have in Nigeria at the moment. He has been for the past 3years. Sometimes I find it hard to believe he is in his 40s. That guy lacks vision, na only to accumulate wife and worry about who should be first lady he sabi.

Oga, if a road is inaccessible for 72hrs then even those coming from Abuja will be trapped right down to the city. You have probable traveled nowhere in your life to believe that bullcrap. Only if you even know what 6km in 72hrs mean.

I was caught in it yesterday from on my way from Lagos to Abuja. It was hell. I wonder if there is a Gov in that Kogi state. If Buhari goes to toilet, he will declare public holiday and the mumu can't solicit help from Fed Govt to fix those roads.
Few pictures. This was even an alternate route in the Bush we went to follow.
this has nothing to do with the governor the road is a federal road and it has been awarded to a contractor by the federal government what exactly he should he do again reaward it? The road is part of a long stretch that has been awarded the heavy rain and trailers breaking down made it worse and cap the whole thing it happened at a time when the road is usually very busy.

Foolish Igbo, the 5K given to poor Nigeria is what should have been used to fix the road.

What happened to the billion of dollars Allison Madueke stole ?
How about the millions of dollars found in Patience Jonathan account nko ?

I told you once the way you reason you deserve nothing but being stoned to death.

and PDP you voted for 16 years couldn’t do but you expect an APC you didn’t vote for to do it in 3 years ? I have never seen a tribe as pathetic as you Igbos all my life.

Yet the same dumb people populate this current dumber government. It is dumbing to leave out 2015-date, because Kogites and Nigerians voted the Dump APC to change things, yet all we see are Fire Brigade projects on paper. The dumbest thing will be to support the Dump people's return in 2019 but it wont be the first time we will be dumbed

Lol.
Because brainwashed people thought they were voting a magician in 2015 that will just snap a finger and everything will change over night.

We knew from day one that Buhari was not going to change all the wrongs of many years within 3 years and even 8 years will not be enough but we can see that he is laying that foundation for this nation to stand on in years to come.

We just pray that after Buhari 8 years another person like him that will continue from where Buhari stop will come and in matter of years,Nigeria will be the talk of the world.

We that voted Buhari are patient and ready to give him more years and I believe we are still in the majority.

Wailers can continue wailing.


The people that were going to serve in Buhari government before were not going to come from heaven but one thing is sure,they will never try the looting and rubbish they did under your so call hero.

You are crying just because of Buhari 3 years and you tag him a failure already but you wanted us to still give PDP more years in 2015 after they wasted good 16 years doing nothing.
