“You Cannot Mortgage Your Destiny for a Porridge” — Ombugadu

“Belonging to a political party does not make you governor. Trying to jam people’s heads together does not make one governor.
Sharing ₦50,000 or bags of food items does not make one governor.

“You cannot mortgage your destiny for a porridge.

“It is your prayers and God’s will that give power and make someone governor.

“Nasarawa, we must be united and take back our state. This is the time to make the decision that will take us out of darkness into light.

“The natives know their concerns and they know what they want. That is why someone who understands the yearnings of his people should be your governor. And that is why I have remained consistent in the race to become your governor to salvage our people.

“I am for Nasarawa projects, and I will remain for Nasarawa projects.”

— Dr. Emmanuel Ombugadu, during his visit to Sabon Rai, Lafia, for a New Live Programme.

Nasarawa: Kose, Road to Death

Inside the Wamba communities where residents cross water to reach markets, hospitals and homes - as Gov. Sule moves to rebuild the Konvah-Jimiya Road and Klama Bridge

From Abel Leonard, Lafia

At the broken bridge, another economy has emerged, an economy of survival.
When motorcycles and passengers arrive at the broken bridge, they are forced to descend into the water beneath it. The motorcycles are then manually lifted and carried across to the opposite bank by local residents who have turned the dangerous crossing into an informal livelihood.

These crossing porters also assist passengers who cannot safely wade through the water, carrying or supporting them across for a fee.

What should ordinarily be a simple crossing has therefore become a paid service. Residents must part with money simply to move themselves, their motorcycles and their goods from one side of the community to the other.

There is no functioning road or bridge, only water separating one part of the community from another. For someone seeing it for the first time, it is almost unbelievable.
