Been a while we've seen Amoto here. I hope he's okay?

Someone is talking about lack of foreign exchange to defend Naira, you are countering with Tinubus suggestion of quantitative easing as response to the pandemic at the height of the pandemic in March 2020 when most countries enacted QE. Nobody asked Meffy to be printing 24/7 to balance budget, your screenshot is time specific to March 2020 when most of the Worlds GDP collapsed by up to 30% so everyone knows that suggestion is time-specific, and what it is in response to. USA GDP growth for March 2020 highlighted below for example.

Quantitative easing is a recognised policy tool to jumpstart consumption during severe economic downturns. along with aggressive rate cuts and asset purchase programs; and every economist called for that all around the world during COVID as a textbook response to the slump of March 2020.

Ignorance should not be worn on the head as a badge of honour. Someone is talking A, you are talking B.

monerozi5590:
You ain't getting the point. I am replying like some. You talk bad about my zone and I do likewise.

I have never attacked any zone. I am only replying.

Ok

monerozi5590:
Why not channel the energy in addressing your zone vices too instead of calling out the North every damn time. Why not address the other sides too.

Na only North get vices. Lets place vices side by side and see which zone come out on top.

That's the same thing I'm doing bro.North is one zone that's ridicule with beggars, religious crisis and Fulani herdsmen. Which of these can you find in other zone?

Can you mention any vices in other zone not in North. For how long are you going to defend and sugarcoating 'your' zone even when people are suffering?

When you are ready to mention that "8" vices from other zone, be ready to receive twice that number from your zone.

monerozi5590:
Who are the beggers. Apart from Almajiris and people that have disabilities( quite unfortunate).

Come here and see Hausa guys engaging in real work. They aint lazy. They put in the work. Go to any Hausa community and I bet you you won't see any man/ youth at home during the day, unless the man is sick or very old. They don't engage in scamming people or doing yahoo or killing their girlfriends for money or doing cultism and killing their fellow human in the name of game.

Terrorism is in your zone too, maybe you don't know.

Which of the vices should we discuss in your zone. They are many. I can count up to 8.

Bro, instead of channeling this energy to address the vices, hold those responsible for it and possibly proffer solutions to them, you are here defending your zone that have been recently subjected to all manners of vices. You get energy oooooo.

...............ECONOMIC PROSPERITY




I doubt in entirety the depth of our love for this country Nigeria. People's opinion to national integration and economic prosperity are been impaired with hate, sectionalism and political affiliation.

This habit developed by Nigerians will continue to cause a monumental havoc to our country and thereupon, propel us to be more quasi in our quest to sustain social economic development of the country.

No country can strive without shared vision and goals of not just the leaders but also the led. however, the led in this country appeared to be polluted in their clamour for normalcy with poor sense of judgement and unjust assertions.

Few weeks ago, there was a public outcry for the unprecedented rise in the price of naira to dollar, and the inflicting hike in commodities and food items. This took our concerns and we all went to our various mediums to render our displeasure.

Mr president who appeared to be pragmatic and proactive in administering governance started putting up measures to quench the flame. His continual engagement with necessary stakeholders in private and public sectors said it all, and we've started seeing the result gradually.

For fair and just submission, I think the channel we clamoured with when it get tough should also be use to commend when it's getting better. let's not allow anything outside the context of reality to shape our believe for the growth and development of this country. Else, we might not get it right soon.

We have a president that accept responsibilities, display empathy and show compassion to power. All he needs at this crucial and trying moment is for us Nigerians to play our individual quota by complementing and supporting his policies to economic prosperity and social justice.

Mr President is up to the game, and I'm most convinced he will leave Nigeria better than he met it. May Tinubu succeed.

I wish him well

No dull moment here at all

liveLongNprospa:
Lmaooo.. Like I said, you are still very much a fan and you are not really struggling yet.
When you see shege and you realise the man doesn't have sense, your language will change

Ok

liveLongNprospa:
Lmao this one still be fan.
Nor worry.
Give it a few more months 😁

I wish he succeeds and makes better for the common man on the street. I don't pray for things to get worse than this.

You were once a senator, Governor and now the president yet you lack the process/stage of implementing policies.

I, personally, am not against your policies but the manner in which he has been doing it is inhuman and wicked. I hope he realises this and backtracks.

No be only one road lead to market nah.....

The match should have been buried with 3 goals up in the first half and Early second half but Enzo, nkuku, Jackson and Sterling decided to be useless.

Nkuku is just too lazy.......

While underscoring the performance of someone in leadership position, your evaluation must be constructive in such a way that it has to tally with the imperfection of human existence, and also agreeing to the dynamism of life cum diverse motives of team players. This draw my conclusion to the 8years of Alhaji Yahaya Bello's administration.

Hitherto, You must all agree with me that the terrain of leadership had been lopsided with thunderous clamour from the end zones for inclusivity and fair treatment. Considering the complexity of mindset and the heterogeneity of our existence, it was indeed a tough moment coupled with uncertainty in the judicious utilization of state resources akin with wayward developmental strides.

2015 becomes a moment of restoration and liberation from the political slavery bedeviling the state. Indeed, the emergence of Alhaji Yahaya Bello broke the jinx and put at end to mutiny of the system. At this point, the expectations was high most especially from the angle of the shortchanged zones.

Swearing him into Office was a momentous development in the anal of history. And the motive imbibed to clear the debris and bring idealistic initiative was glaring to all.

I won't considering scoring him 90% because he has his weakness being human but statistically with fair and just evaluation, Yahaya Bello has tremendous done well. I say this without mincing words - and it should be taken to the future.


*UNITY AMONG THE CITIZENS*


The EBIGO Agenda was enforced to replenishes our mindsets and correct our believe. it was set up to enforce unity in diversity, and also to right the mistakes of the past so that a workable and prosperous Kogi could be achieved.

There is no sane individual that might choose to fault this rare initiative. EBIGO has really worked for us hitherto to the tale end of his exit from the Lugard house. We must credit Yahaya Bello for entrenching such a deserving idea to cleanse the notion already imbibed by us all. Though, the recent election has hampered the progress made in this regard because of the uncultured traits of the political class and their desperate bid for political relevance. They succeeded in leveraging on the dynamics of the the recent gubernatorial election to divide us along ethnic line.


*SECURITY EXCELLENT*


No doubt, there is a significant improvement in the security architecture of the state with Kogi been ranked as the second most safest state in Nigeria.

Yahaya Bello's decisive and prudent approach has attracted this feat. His consistent engagement and review of the security happenings of the state, and his untainted commitment to bring normalcy was at topnotch.

Insecurity was brought to control with criminal elements having it so hard to perpetuate their hideous crimes. They were left with minimal strikes - and Yahaya Bello should be given accolade for contributing significantly to the security balance already witnessed in Kogi State


*ELECTRICITY IMPROVEMENT*


A just and objective assessment of the electricity distribution of the state will put Yahaya Bello on a greenlight. His far-reaching tentacles and smartness had attracted several interventions in this regard most specifically in the aspect of solar electrification.

Operation light up Kogi East was institutionalized with a proactive step in launching quite a number of Transformers and high projective lines to improve the deplorable state of power distribution in the east. A replica of it was also felt in other part of the state with undeniable changes and improvement.


*AGRICULTURAL HUB*


In line with the determination to make Kogi State a food basket of the nation, Yahaya Bello's administration has established one of the biggest Rice Mill in Nigeria known as Kogi Confluence Rice Mill. The state government also paid its counterpart funds for the smooth take off of both the international fund for Agricultural development/Value chain Development project (IFAD/VCD) and the APPEALS Project specially for the promotion of cassava, rice and cashew value chain.

Still part of efforts to enhance food security, he denoted 100 tractors and  immediately distributed them across the 21 local government areas of the state. The incentives were  meant  for farmers, women and  youths,  as part of efforts to boost food security, create employment and income for the people of the state.


*HEALTH SECTOR REFORM*


Yahaya Bello's imprints in the health sector was superb. He brought a new lift to our depleting hospital structures and also added some new ones with world-class facilities.

The establishment of Reference Hospital; a hospital that got Nigerians talking because it vast coverage of medical facilities. The hospital has the hyperbaric oxygen chamber is debuting for the first time in Africa.

There are several host of renovated and constructed hospitals across the state the other senatorial districts. And I think that has gone a long way to rejuvenate the lost glory of the sector.


*Education Upliftment*

Yahaya Bello's government brought all the parastatals under education closely to enable them advance the progress of education in the state. However, through prompt payment of counterpart fund, the State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB) became an example of government policy towards a standardized basic education in the state.

Apparently, to boost the sector, he established the GYB Model Primary Schools across the 239 wards of the state and also established GYB Model Science Secondary Schools each in the three senatorial districts of the state, including Lokoja the state capital. He renovated 2,000 classroom blocks in both primary and secondary schools across the state.

Bello's efforts in our tertiary institutions are commendable. He established two more universities to meet the target of diverse discipline and speciality. Our institutions are in league of the fastest growing institutions in Nigeria.

These highlighted sectors and the imprint therein culminated to my submission of Yahaya Bello's 8years reign as the fourth executive Governor of Kogi State.

While I wish him the best in his political trajectory, I implore kogites to be guided in our assertion of his administration and see him as someone who has redeemed the image of the state and set standard for prosperity.

Yahaya Bello left an indelible contribution to the progress and development of Kogi State. he has set pedestal for successive administration to strive. I'm hopeful he will be vindicated, and posterity will be sincere to him.
