When G0v. Umo Eno emerged as a Gubern@torial Candidate for Akwa Ibom State, they told us he was STINGY.
That he doesn't give people money.
That to get anything from him, you go sweat like Christmas Goat.
Hence, if he wins, we no go see shishi.
Therefore, we go suffer for 8 years
A lot of people believed the narrative and ran with it.
Using its to demarket and c@mpaign against him.
I'm not a p0litician, but I understood that people always mistook businessmen to be stingy cos we no dey throw money anyhow.
Yes, when we sit back and consider how hard we worked to make money, we can't just throw it around anyhow.
Hence, we often earn the nickname "stingy man"
Personally, I can't count how many times some people called me stingy cos I couldn't part with some money they needed at some point. They won't even believe you don't have anything to spare at that point cos you owe a business, and they think you are always RICH
Now, seeing the way the G0v is giving is super amazing.
A lot of people never thought of it.
Let me say this!
The Purples Girls support group didn't start in this administration. But it is in his time, he choose to single them out and bless them with huge seed capital for them to start up businesses for themselves even as they continue to be G0vernment cheerleaders
I was there at the Amphitheater when winners of the State Football match were called. There were fixed prizes for winners, but HE sat there and doubled those prizes right there. It's takes a giver to reconsider a prize. That single action that night was extraordinary.
I was there when a statement was made about a certain dedicated driver in the Office of the SSG not having a car, HE gave him a car instantly.
The DJ who was playing there didn't come there expecting to receive some blessings from HE, but he spotted him and blessed her with some money right there.
Some of the farmers who decided to attend the event of that night with some farm produces from her farm for the HE was blessed financially, too by HE.
I was standing there telling myself "no be wetin them tell us about this man be this o"
Today, again, I'm just seeing dummy cheques.
Akwa Ibom sons and daughters are getting rewarded, appreciated, and encouraged for doing one thing or the other extraordinarily well and for outstanding performances.
Note: HE didn't have to do any of these things, and no one would question him for not recognizing, appreciating, or rewarding these outstanding sons and daughters of Akwa Ibom.
Now, this is my conclusion.
Most of the people who claimed this man was stingy didn't have any value to offer. They had nothing to be rewarded or appreciated for. They just wanted free.
Now, you understand why they got nothing, and in their frustration, they concluded he was stingy.
Businessmen have no free money for anyone. If you work, you will chop, if you refuse to work, na hunger, go finish you.
I believe this is the p0licy of his HE
I love how our G0vernor is celebrating excellence and trust me as long as we [Akwa Ibomites] continue to win, break records and be outstanding and extraordinary, this G0vernor we are blessed with will recognize, celebrate and appreciate us.
We are blessed with this man!
But you must work and show result if you want chop ooo!
I'm happy we have a listening and people oriented leader.
True True, those people who said he was "AKAGUM" lied to us.
May God forgive all of una this night in Jesus' name. Amen.
As a young entrepreneur myself, I'm really happy many entrepreneurs got this supp0rt. And I'm told this selection was not politically influenced. In fact, I learned delegates were sent to all LGAs to verify applicants and select the eligible ones.
If this is true, then it's super commendable.
We never had it this way before.
May God bless HE with more wisdom and more people oriented projects like this.
I'm just happy tonight!
If you didn't get it today, your time may come tomorrow.
Stay positive, keep hustling, keep winning
Indeed, this is truly our Golden Era.
Anyone where collect this equipment and carry am to go se||, holy ghooooooooost..
If you do not have a need for it, don't block those who legitimately need it to scale their hustle mbok.
God bless Akwa Ibom
Goodnight!
