Foremost Delta based social media development as well as equal rights and justice crusader, Atsepoyi Freedom, popularly known as "Mr. Jollof" has stepped up his 'everywhereStew' advocacy, saying if the federal government allows every of the 36 states in the country and Abuja to exploit her 'stew' in the next four years, Nigeria will be truly counted amongst the greatest countries in the world in terms of economy and infrastructural development.
Atsepoyi who is the African Action Congress, AAC Candidate for Warri Federal Constituency Seat in the forthcoming 2019 general elections, described 'everywhereStew' in Nigerian context to mean the wide variety of untapped natural resources, such as Lead/ Zinc, Limestone, Cassiterite, Clay, Dolomite, Gold, Gypsium, Kaolin, Lignite, Coal, Asphalt as well as Oil and Gas among others, which abound in the 36 states and Abuja, the federal capital territory.
The development advocate while promising to initiate a bill at the National Assembly that will provide the necessary legal framework for the 36 states to commercially exploit their God-given natural resources (stew) and pay certain percentage as tax to the federal government, opined that the implementation of his Mercies" everywhereStew" concept, will not only make Nigeria great among the league of Nations, but save the states from the current near insolvency, which make most of them rely heavily from FAAC allocations to pay their civil / public servants stipends called salaries.
According to Atsepoyi ( Mr. Jollof) the over-dependence on just one stew, Oil and Gas from the Niger Delta" have raised hatred and laziness amongst Nigerians, because we are used to one particular type of stew, whereas we have so many stew that are sweeter than oil and gas".
