Well, I am glad Steven saw what I saw, when I moved to Ogun State after 35 years in the UK. Bottom line, Ogun State is an economic power house, in terms of land mass, Ogun humbles lagos state, Ogun is also the gateway to not only Lagos, it is also the main gate way from Lagos to other states of the federation. In comparison to Lagos, Ogun is a natural resource rich State, we share the deepest coastal sea shore with Ondo State(A big shame we lost the Dangote Refinery to Lagos State). Real Estate opportunities are enomorous, land prices have certainly gone through the stratosphere. In the sphere of education, i believe Ogun State has the greatest concentration of Universities compared to any other state in the federation. In terms of industrialisation, Ogun has the largest concentration of industries in the entire federation. From Sagumu through Kobape right down to Abeokuta, new industries are springing up daily. To crown it all, like Lagos State, we have been fortunate enough to have his Excellency Dapo Abiodun as our current Governor. Prince Abiodun has quietly without any extravagance continued the fantastic foundation works laid down and brilliantly executed by our own Jagaban, Senator Ibikunle Amosun. More grease to our dear Govenor's elbows, Long live the Gateway State, may father lord continue to bless our beloved state with visionary leaders that will continue to add value to our state.
You have said it all
@@StevenNdukwu Thanks young man, you are doing a brilliant work, more grease to your elbows, stay safe and blessed.
You seem to be a benefactor of the current government of Ogun state. Ogun state has if not the worst infrastructure in Nigeria for a state close to Lagos. No roads, no water, No light, nothing at all
You must be delusional if you think the governors are really that helpful
@@enabulujames7066 In the 1st instance, Rome was not built in a day, like the Govenor said, we are too impatient as a people. I have been in the state close to 14 years now, I have seen the transformation of Ogun State over these past couple of years. Yes there are areas of concerns that needs to be worked on, however, lots of positive vibes coming out from the gateway state. No state has pipe borne water, light is a function of the Federal Government, the road networks are gradually being improved upon. This Govenor started off concentrating his efforts upgrading the key point roads in and out of Ogun State, in particular he is building the roads leading to the industrial heart lands of the state. In Abeokuta where I reside, some key roads within the core abeokuta township are being upgraded. Kenta idi aba, Sagamu to Abeokuta, Elite Road, Idi Aba to ajebo right through to Ibadan express Road currently being upgraded. The Govenor cannot do it all, in the midst of limited scarce resources. Stay the course if you live in Ogun State, and most importantly "Patience is a virtue". Am I a direct beneficiary of the current administration in terms of employment? Certainly not, just a humble farmer who lives within the gateway state, neuther am i a card carrying member of APC.
I'm an African American (with Nigerian heritage) I want to visit, plant roots, and invest in Nigeria. How can I connect with you and/or create partnerships with people in Nigeria who are already investing? I don't have the money today but I will in the future (my channel is a testament to my conviction). I want to see Nigeria succeed. Stay up Steven.
Lol do your research man. Wouldn't want you to burn your money
This is mind blowing. For real!!!! People like you do the work to let people know the good happening in their communities and country.
We are so tired off only negative stories!!!!!!
Thanks for doing this 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Excellent video 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Ogun state one of Nigerias best hidden gems ! I had a blast visiting last year
Am a Ghanaian 🇬🇭. Steven, I agree with you the Ogun state - Abeokuta is underrated. I tell you, what this governor is doing, very soon Abeokuta will take over all the state capital in Nigeria. My next visit to Naija will be Ogun State.
Great content!!
Sujimoto always giving the vibes.😃
Total respect Sir.
Wow
Nigeria really is a Powerhouse
Love from the Great Zimbabwe
IT IS (YORUBA REPUBLIC) INSIDE D COUNTRY CALLED NIGERIA NOT NIGERIA
U are already going places, I remember when u had under 3k subscribers. Well-done bro. Am very proud of you 💗.
This is where I schooled. Federal government college Odogbolu. ♥️🇳🇬💪🏽🇳🇬
By the time the trains in Lagos start functioning, I don't see why people won't live in Ogun and work in Lagos....simply take the national rail to Lagos and connect to your destination.....ogun should be developed to discongest Lagos. Weldone Mr. Governor.
Majority of lagos workers lives in Ogun state Sango, Ibafo, Mowe, isheri magodo oloworoira ijaye to name a few
people have been doing this for two decades
@@babayanjuadetunji1627 lol....what is the percentage of people who live in these towns and work in Lagos and people actually live and work in Lagos? Put all these population together including those in Oyo is not even upto the population of Obalende. Lagos is extremely congested....decongesting it means other neighboring states have to be developed, that aside, on the other side, people can permanently leave Lagos to these states and still go to work in Lagos with the rail lines in operations on a large scale.
You're very correct that's why I bought land at itori papalanto train station because in the next 10years Lagos go hear am from Ogun state. Especially with this train thing.
I did my nysc in Abeokuta and I will say it a very nice place to be.
Good work Steven 👍👏🏽
This is what good leadership is about.
God bless you Steven for doing this
Love the direct employment approach. Locals citizens and businesses benefitting directly from the growth taking place in their communities. Kudos Ogun State
This is beautiful for a State like Ogun. Great work Governor.
Otta deserves some attentions!
Yes, Ado-odo/Otta and Ifo. if those two LGAs are touched, trust me The Ogun state governor will be rated alongside Lagos state governor.
He won't touch there..it seems all the government, disperse that side
Great work, governor? Lmao
@@richardomonuwagbale2318 why obasenjo
Nigeria just needs to get her act together in electricity, all will be well.
I love this governor. God bless him
I love sijimoto's passion.
Beautiful Ogun state. Thanks for sharing Steve 👍🏾
I need the energy of that Suji guy ... Great job Steve 👍🏾
Suji is a billionaire o 😂😂😂😂
I swear I thought I was the only one who notice him
Thank you AT
I thought you and Steve were chilling together in Zimbabwe.
I so much love his enthusiasm. He's so passionate about his work. I admire that, honestly.
Great to see other states in Nigeria investing much in infrastructure.
Steve visit Ebonyi state, its transforming fast.
I’m highly impressed with Governor Dave Umahi. He’s done well for Ebonyi State..
Good job steven🥰🥰🥰🇳🇬You are really making us in diaspora to have a hope in our country.just keep the good work on , we need more of this positive content and vibes from home.🇳🇬
He’s the man of the people ❤❤❤❤❤
Wow I'm so proud of my State ❤❤❤
From Indonesia support like ❤👍
Wow! The Governor of Ogun state just became my role model
Good job Steven for bringing Ogun State developments and good news to us all. Great Job Governor!!
I'm very glad to see such development much love from Ghana🇬🇭
Good one bro,pls help educate many that Nigeria has 36 state excluded fct.
As such the nation is diverse with many cities.
@@kokoedem6058 educate who tho
Awesome video! We Nigerians are not paying attention to the good things going on. The country is changing, and growing, yet MANY people don't see it. The negative things going on has blinded people from noticing the SUBTLE changes that is happening. Everytime l zoom in to different states in Nigeria, l ALWAYS see new developments, that is barely mentioned in the news.
A lot of people may find it hard to believe. Nigeria is going to RISE and be a GREAT country, that one day the whole world would be talking about. Imagine, l saw an Indian lady in Nigeria, boldly said, you can become the richest man in the whole world from inside Nigeria. That is how much potential in Nigeria that is untapped.
25 years ago, when Dangote was just coming up, he used to say that, there is money flowing all over Nigeria and Africa. I thought he was crazy for saying that. Look at him now. He is the richest black man in the whole world. He saw what MOST people didn't see.
I would HIGHLY advice anyone who read this, to pay close attention, and seize the UNLIMITED OPPORTUNITIES, which unfortunately 99%
of Nigerians don;t see. That does not mean, that one should ignore the bad news going on in Nigeria.
Nigeria's 200 million market, is not something that can be ignored. Not to mention the 1.2 billion African population, that is a HUGE goldmine waiting to be explored.
Keep up the good work. I appreciate what you, Tayo Aina, Wode May, and other vlogers are doing, by exposing and showing us the MASSIVE potentials all across Africa, that we have ignored for a long time.
Thank you so much
@@StevenNdukwu keep up with the good work 👍
People don't see positivity because they don't want to see it. Believe it or not, some people are more comfortable living perpetually in negativity because it removes the onus on them to do better. "After all, what is the point,?" they say. No-one is saying Nigeria is Eldorado, but when every single person is talking negatively and focusses ONLY on the negative, how can positive things even show their head? And the first thing they do when it tries, is to remind you how there are so many more negative things to cancel it out. Awon abatenije.
People living in Nigeria are paying attention, is people living outside Nigeria that are feed with negative news about Nigerian
@@fabuchap2545 That's a good point you made. I didn't realize that some people just like to dwell on negative things only.
As a Kenyan I must say these is what devolution is all about.The governor has done he is doing amazing job.Kenyans we must learn from Ogun state.Indeed Africa is rising..
U better dont conclude. They are showing fake face for u
@@oluyomisamuel6921 Are you saying this is fake?
@@nomahope3182 i tire o, maybe he thinks this is computer generated😂
@@oluyomisamuel6921 how sad must your life be that you cant see anything good?
@@oluyomisamuel6921, you have no shame. Keep on deceiving yourself that Nigeria is not moving forward. People like you can’t even do anything if voted to be a local government chairman. Sight…
You are the MAN, for real. Your videos show Nigeria, and Africa, the true Nigeria and Africa. Your American brothas and sistas and all over the Diaspora are very, very proud of you.
Thanks for always watching
Wow so government's can do this type of development in Nigeria? This is impressive. And i have not heard anything about crude oil, yet some states have all the crude oil but can't even develop anything due to poor leadership and mismanagement. We need more governor's with such development driven minds and selfless service.
One of the underlooked state in Nigeria.
This is partial truth and i really appreciate the work the governor has done so far. i live in ogun state ibafo to be precise i am not happy at the neglect of my part of ogun state our roads are very bad and not motorable at and we have been neglected for too long. Ibafo is located on lagos ibadan express way about five minures drive from Alausa in lagos. we have been neglected for too long the population is well a million people no government presense at all. i would like you to beam your seach light on ibafo, mowe, asese, magboro
I can't still believe this is my State Big thanks 🙏❤ to my GOVERNMENT
Glad you enjoyed it, I hope you tasted Gbegiri and ewedu, supported by Pando yam
It is but Kudos to past Governor he did everything , transformed Abeokuta from village to city I don’t know why Dapo is taking the credit . The only thing he did is the entrance (that interchange entrance)
@@waliuadebayo129 I understand you bro 💯 but all the same Big thanks too everyone behind the Transformation we really appreciate 🙏🙌💙❤💜
@@waliuadebayo129 bro, only real ones know
I am following the state development because of my interest in Estate development in the state. I followed Vbloggers focusing on the state and Oyo state. Sincerely,Ogun state is underrated. At the same time the past governors, before Amosu Administration, were to be blamed for lukewarm development in the state. They didn't do so much to harness the state closeness to Lagos.The present governor efforts to continue where his predecessor stopped should be appreciated especially in area of infrastructures. I particularly appreciate the dual carriage way that is being constructed along Agbara. It is quicker way to link Badagry expressway to other West Africa countries,instead of driving through Sango Ota to Oshodi -Apapa, in Lagos. Well done,Sir.❤️❤️❤️🇬🇧
Amosun did more than Abiodun in 4 years Abeokuta before Amosun is a village everything you are seeing now was done by Amosun
Sujimoto's enthusiasm is on another level he is so passionate and i love seeing Africa making big progress kudos Nigeria but spare the forest please. One love from Kenya
Spare what forest when the forest is in excess
@@chrisoghenetegamaloney5799Well, the problem with Nigerian builders is that they get rid of all greenery during construction. You'll find that there will be nothing left of the forest you think is in excess by the time they finish construction.
Thank you for promoting and documenting beautiful places in my state! Great content Steven 👍
👍👍
Great job Steve. This is the kind of videos those of us in the diaspora want to see; the rest of Nigeria, not just Lagos and Abuja. We know there are great places and states outside Abuja and Lagos. This kind of video helps us make informed decisions about our plans for Nigeria - investments or coming back home.
Stay subscribed for more 🙏
I quite agree with you! But not only Steve Ndukwu's videos, and the consumption is not only for (Nigerians diasporans 😖)..
But for Nigerians at home and abroad to recognise that government is not only the presidency in Abuja, but it should be across states and local government areas!!
@@StevenNdukwu Sure
@@aframaco9491 Oga abeg no vex. I didn't mean that it's good for the diaspora only. Secondly, his videos give good details and enof info for business use. They are fit for such purpose. There maybe other such vloggers, I stick with him.
@@isoryte201 Too right! I Love Steve Ndukwu!!
I call him the Duke!
His videos are hard hitting, but beautiful and truthful!!
Whao! This is impressive. This is an alternative to escaping Lagos craziness while also enjoying doing business in both states. And it's not far from Lagos; some part of the state has already spilled over to Lagos state. Nice one Steven
I was born in ogun and shool there before relocating to 🇬🇭
Steven, you never disappoint!
Thank you for bringing Ogun State into our homes and minds!
This is really inspiring and what purposeful leadership is all about. Fantastic!
Ogun state is very underated 😂
I bought my land in 2020 here in Orilemo along Sagamu Interchange/ Abeokuta Express for 500k.
Today, to get a plot in same place, you will have between 2.5M - 3M depending on the seller.
To get to anywhere you are going in Nigeria by road , you must go through Ogun State.
Yes..pls what do you think about those estates along papalanto?
I love your content digging deep and bringing out to the world to see.
Wow!!!
This is so beautiful!!
I’ve always been familiar to Ogun state cos my mum is from there and 90% of my education was there
It’s good to finally see the state receiving recognition!
But also they should not forget important but ignored places like ota
The road is quite bad and it’s a major road to other places
Thank you for this Steven 💜
And kudos! You met with the governor 🥳
Thanks for watching
Ehhhhhhhnnnn??
Steve "The Original Duke" Ndukwu is flexing!!!!!!
Interviewing GOVERNORS now Abiiii??
It is clear that Steve has used his passion and talent as a TH-camr to cultivate the necessary connections!
Sujimoto's connection in gaining access to the Ogun state government cannot be overestimated !
I am impressed with what I am seeing!!
The Duke goes from strength to strength!
Powerful Positive Youth!
That your host guy l, such high energy and passion! I’m convinced
Really impressive. It’s good to see south western governors doing a lot for their states and not depending on FG for development. 👏👏👏
You're doing well brother for visiting my state 🙌 👍🏾 God bless you
Nigeria has a lot of potential
This is amazing ... congratulations ❤❤
I love love love this! Wow!
Great video Steve
Beautiful work
Good job, Steve.
Wow wow this is awesome 👏🏾
lovely video Steve do ya thang
Well put together
God Bless the Presenter , The Governor of the State as really tried ,If he is voted back and allow him to handle Federal Roads ,Gbagbe Eeee ,More Investors will prefer Ogun State than Lagos State .
Thanks brother This a great channel
This is indeed an eye opener. I was in Olusegun Obasanjo Library, Ogun state in 2019 and I also enjoyed the best Ofada Rice in the world in Oba's palace
Great job Steve.
great work brother !!! congratulations for this amazing and informative video !
You mailed it once more
Thank you
OMGOSH!!! 5 million Naira is equivalent to about 12K in US$!!! That’s a steal for an affordable home this huge!!! Another great and educational video Steven! 🌍🇳🇬🐘❤
huge fan of your videos. welldone
Awesome 😍😍Thanks.
Steven you and Tayo Aina are really promoting Nigeria in way to get more foreign investors and tourism to states.
FGN should have give national award to both of them instead of Teni
Tayo Aina don’t make campaign videos like this! This is obviously a campaign video for DA, we ogun state inhabitants know the truth
@@adedolapoboluwatife368 Ogun state is 3rd in IGR only after Lagos and Rivers state, ogun state cant be fixed in 4 years but ogun state is going in the right direction.
Thank you Steven for showcasing my state
steve that's a great and beautiful job
Well done to his excellency, good job david
Great work
This is an amazing video.
Excellent Steven! Your work is inspiring…
This is amazing 👏
All states across Nigeria must do the same. Form east to west to north to south.
This is a beautiful and informative documentary
Thanks for giving me more insight on my state I really love your content
I'm happy Ogun state is now moving forward and the governor is really trying but there are some places we need the governor's attention in sango area and sango link road to ijoko to agbado the road there is very bad may God continue to help out governor
wow this is great, thank you brother for the great video, l so much appreciate it
This is absolutely awesome Steven.
It will be nice if you could use your relationship with the governor and Ogun state government to dive more into details of how small and medium businesses can easily invest in Ogun state.
Governor Dapo has embarked on strategic projects like Ijebu-Ode Epe road, Cargo airport, housing,... It will be great if Ogun state government can create MDA that will strategically support small and medium scale to easily investment e.g. acquiring of land with the necessary documentation with ease and reliable online platform to verify land documents for Nigerians in diaspora.
Please do you have information about the housing project of Ogun state government in other part of the state (Sagamu and Ijebu-Ode)?
I know that construction is going on in Sagamu and Ijebu-Ode but it quite difficult to get detailed information.
Steve is so good at his job, nuff respect bro👏🏽❤️
Wow this is amazing love it thank you so much for sharing
Keep it up Ogun State!!! Much love from SA
One of your most passionate and enthusiastic videos on TH-cam over the years, well done Steven
Wow. This is impressive
Great work bro
Stephen your doing a fantastic job keep up the good work- God bless you 😊
It's good to see what the governor is doing. However more can still be done.
Welldone Keep it up
From Adamawa witching this.. ugun is lovely. I hope to visit very soon. Love seeing good things being done by our governors. If we have good state governors across all states we wouldn't car who becomes president of this country to be honest.
Exactly!!!! Vote for the presidential candidate who wants devolution of power from Abuja to the 36 states!
It would make Nigerians appreciate the need to put superb candidates in as governors !!
Great content 👍
Hello Salam iam obaid from pakistan karachi your home countery Nigeria is very beautiful my wishes Nigeria great success and good future to you
Congratulations Steven. You’re one of the hardest working content creators. Kudos to you. Now, your hard work is being recognized. Kudos 👏🏾👏🏾🔥🔥💯💯
This is so beautiful.
I really enjoyed this video, I am so happy about Ogun State Growth
Wow. This is amazing. For sure, a lot has changed there in Ogun State. And thank you for representing Kenya on your right wrist. Shukran.
I click the moment I get a single notification from you...alarms on
I am impressed. Wow
Fantastic!!!!
Such a great video and well done for interviewing a governor. Please assist me with information about the real estate especially the yellow roof. Thanks
