Iconic Mount Patti, Lokoja Kogi state Nigeria

Glass Bridge, Georgia

The current location and terrain of the glass bridge is the same thing  as the Iconic Mount Patti here in Lokoja. The Mount Patti Hill is a 1503 foot-tall (458 m) mountain and tourist attraction in Lokoja, Nigeria. It is famous for being the place where British journalist and writer Flora Louise Shaw (later Flora Lugard) gave Nigeria its name.

The name (Nigeria) was coined by Flora Shaw in 1914 when looking at Lokoja from top of The Mount Patti. It came into her mind because of the view of the Niger River and Benue, 6 kilometers away from the Mount.
Painfully enough, we are yet to have a governor or president that can be exposed enough to creative economy and tap into this tourism centre capable of drawing tourist across the globe. Ones this petroleum jelly is harnessed, it will create jobs, generate revenue, diversify the state and the financial quagmire of the state from depending on allocation fro federal government relaying on mono economy.


A Leader is someone who can create something out of nothing basically to (solve problems)  capable of addressing the primary needs of the people particularly a the grassroot. 

A leader who sees payment of workers salary,  construction or rehabilitation of basic infrastructures which are its primary responsibility as achievement in office is grossly bereft of ideas, creative sense and innovation. Such a leader is simply a circumstantial one. He or she is existing, occupying space, not living or making lasting impact. 

Think twice before vying for a political post particularly whether you can make an uncommon difference or not.
