thelastPope: @lastpope, and you can defend this type of budget? I recall that u said you have abt 40+ pple in your employment, am not sure your budget wld look like Bauchi's "The Bauchi State government budgeted N138.7 billion for 2012, an increase of about N21 billion over the amount in 2011. Yuguda intends to finance the 2012 budget with N69 billion from FAAC, a paltry N7.3 billion as IGR and another N58 billion as loans. In what should be a violation of any sound fiscal responsibility law, nearly 40% of the budget will be financed through borrowing for two years in a row. In 2011, Bauchi State’s domestic debt was about N91 billion, so by the end of the year, Bauchi would be in debt to the tune of some N150 billion. Public debt charges this year is some N6.3 billion and rising. It looks like Yuguda is determined to leave behind a debt-ridden, if not financially insolvent state!" |

TouchDown: This thread has been a waste of my time. Came to see if there would be any information on the amount budgeted for feeding but I didn't see any. When you assert something, the onus is on you to prove that which you assert. This has been a one-sided affair and I'm not happy. I came to see a good debate, I don't like the way Gbawe and Naptu rode roughshod on you. My brother, next thread insecure9gerian will start will be one where he is seeking information regarding the number of planes Fashola has in his fleet in an attempt to gain crude and inane justification for how his messiah, GEJ, unnecessarily, profligately and callously maintains a bloated number of Airplanes yet seeks further funds to augment this condemnable fleet. Jonathan just disgraces Nigeria with his antics that are nauseating, blatant and "I don't give a damn" show of inhuman greed and amazing leadership lack of empathy. My guy, see for yourself and note that the likes of Inscere9gerian and his supporting cast should not be taken seriously. Inspect what is written below ,indicating callous waste, and align it with the consideration that Nigerians are some of the most wretcehedly poor people on earth to note what GEJ is. The man is hollowly called "fresh air" and "transformation" by nauseating sycophants like Insincer9gerian yet the reality shows GEJ is transforming nothing. In fact he is worsening waste, bureaucracy, bloated governance, corruption and heightening inefficiency everywhere. http://www.punchng.com/news/fg-spends-n9bn-annually-on-10-aircraft-presidential-fleet/ FG spends N9bn annually on 10-aircraft presidential fleet |

Demdem: Demdem, this is one of the most ridiculous and unintelligent things I have ever heard! So you think entertainment is when the governor puts a bottle of moet on the table while talking to his guest? Haba! I thought you were better than this. You are justs disgracing me, walahi! 1 Like |

thelastPope: it goes beyond that but most obviously starts from there. That is why we are asking u to bring out evidence of such things occurring at all. If after the public gathering, there is an exchange of envelopes or feast going on afterwards, let us know. U av said nothing so far. |
Re: What Was Budgeted By Lagos For Feeding In 2013? by Guk: 11:00am On Jan 16, 2013 |
thelastPope: @lastpope, you have fallen my hand by this statement. Am disappointed! This is a document of 56 pages that tells the whole world how much was budgeted and how much has bn spent so far carefully detailed and presented at the State Executive meeting by Hon Comm Ben Akabueze. Pls go and read it again and be educated http://www.lagosstate.gov.ng/subpage.php?k=35 |

Guk: Have you ever heard of the word "subjective" and "relative"? I dont have to defend the budget. Am just letting you know that you cannot say a budget is bad because the items are not like LASG budget. Is that not clear enough? I dont even want to read the bauchi budget because I believe the items will annoy me. Like if I see millions being spent on pilgrimage. But, my point is, that might just be what is obtainable in that part of the world. In terms of borrowing, you could say the same for LASG. They are borrowing massively too! |
Re: What Was Budgeted By Lagos For Feeding In 2013? by Afam4eva(m): 11:03am On Jan 16, 2013 |
It's funny how some people are implying that the LASG does not budget for food. Which money do they use in purchasing the food they eat at Alausa? All the dinners they host all year round, where does the money come from? Is it Fashola's private money that he uses to do all these things? |
Re: What Was Budgeted By Lagos For Feeding In 2013? by thelastPope(m): 11:05am On Jan 16, 2013 |
Demdem: This statement can only come from someone who have never been to a government function. Even in advanced countries, about all government functions have some form of entertainment. You have just showed you are no where close to government but are just a pawn in the scheme of things, no offence! |

Guk: My good friend, you are throwing links around like ping pong! I have already seen the one that has some breakdown and there is no governors expenditure there. That is why I posted that of the chief of staff. |

seanet01: First go to your Gully erosion pervaded east and ask them how much their mummy governors are using to feed their kidnappers every year.That you are in existence is one reason this country wil never move forward. Nonsense so accountability is only for FG. |
Re: What Was Budgeted By Lagos For Feeding In 2013? by Demdem(m): 11:08am On Jan 16, 2013 |
@lost pope For example, look at Governor Dickson who became a governor months ago entertaining and enjoying life Dont u think its will be much more reasonable if this thread was directed at the bayelsa governor demanding how much he budgets for entertainment in a financial year? This is more like it.

thelastPope:Now, if you truely care about State Government budgets,expenditure and making Nigeria better, your target Should be States like the same Bauchi that annoys you and Niger Delta States that receive so much but deliver nothing. Questioning the best run state in Nigeria will only pass you off as an Oposition seeking to discredit the efforts of your rival. |
Re: What Was Budgeted By Lagos For Feeding In 2013? by Demdem(m): 11:11am On Jan 16, 2013 |
thelastPope: shut up. it happens well here in PH and Bayelsa but it will be wrong for me to conclude and see it as a general trend. |
Re: What Was Budgeted By Lagos For Feeding In 2013? by Guk: 11:11am On Jan 16, 2013 |
thelastPope: Point of correction, i didnt compare Lagos Budget wt Bauchi budget. I only used Bauchi as an example of Bad Budget wen u said there are none. True, Lagos is borrowing massively, but for the umpteenth time, read this properly and you will see how LASG services its debts.http://www.lagosstate.gov.ng/subpage.php?k=35 LASG does not use loan to service debts. LASG IGR is enough to run the engine of the state and they can tie proceeds of the their projects to pay back loans see one explanation here https://www.nairaland.com/1164136/fashola-denies-obtaining-15m-export-import |
Re: What Was Budgeted By Lagos For Feeding In 2013? by thelastPope(m): 11:12am On Jan 16, 2013 |
Demdem: @lost pope Demdem, I will not follow you on this your BRT ride! Just for the last time. There is always entertainment in government functions and events and no one has said it is wrong in the first place. The only thing the @op asked is how much was budgeted for it. GEJ Aso rock food expenses is not even wrong and no one has said it is. The only debate is how much and how justifiable the amount is. Stay on topic! |
Re: What Was Budgeted By Lagos For Feeding In 2013? by Demdem(m): 11:15am On Jan 16, 2013 |
thelastPope: And we are saying (at least for now) Fashola does not entertain We have pictures to butress this fact. Bring urs up also and lets discuss it. |
Re: What Was Budgeted By Lagos For Feeding In 2013? by Guk: 11:15am On Jan 16, 2013 |
thelastPope: You have seen it but you have not read it, cos if you have, you will respect the transperency and accountability of LASG |
Re: What Was Budgeted By Lagos For Feeding In 2013? by thelastPope(m): 11:18am On Jan 16, 2013 |
Guk: Simple way to describe it is, one mans meat is another man's poison! LASG people want good roads, bauchi people want pilgrimage! You cant exactly classify that as good and bad. Its subjective! Do you see Bauchi citizens demonstrating on the streets that their money should be used to build good schools instead of being spent on pilgrimage or bride price for men who want to marry widows? You need to understand my point and lets move on so we dont derail the thread... |

Guk: For the umpteenth time, if you go to Abia state, you will see a well outlined budget in their budget office. That does not mean they are doing nada! Rochas started performing from day one without a written document. You are talking sentiments. Lets stay on topic. |

Actually, from the documents I have seen so far, it will very difficult to audit the LASG! The items are not detailed. The auditor will have to make a lot of assumptions. "Personnel Expenses" is a very vague term! It can range from a cigarette to a tissue paper to cinema tickets! lol |

Conduct audit? with a quarterly review document? A document that only highlights? What do u want to see there, Hon Comm stating how much Baba Kamoru the head driver collects??

Re: What Was Budgeted By Lagos For Feeding In 2013? by thelastPope(m): 11:36am On Jan 16, 2013 |
Guk: That is why it isnt a budget. A budget is done before you implement, not after. So in a budget, you cant just say "personnel expenses". It wont fly. It would have being nice if the actual budget is available! |

All the dinners they host all year round, where does the money come from? Is it Fashola's private money that he uses to do all these things? Then why don't you bring the precise figure here? I don't know why so many of us are hellbent on disgracing the expensive formal education our parents paid for. It is ridiculous for anyone to think the State bears no cost for feeding the office of the Governor. The substantive point is that the cost associated with feeding the office of the Governor, if insignificant, does not have to appear as an independent entry in a budget. That is the point OP and his acolytes here remains too thick to appreciate. It is topics like this, and the response to it, that makes me appreciate what Nigeria is and why many Nigerians are not optimally developed to the extent this is reflected as tangible impacts on the nation's greatness ala innovative workforce capable of effective and critical thinking. If there is no documented figure anywhere detailing budget allocation for the feeding of the Governor's office, why run around with gossip, fabrication and assumptions when a reasonable and balanced person will work with reality and the official figures available/unavailable to make decisions? The only conclusion critical thinkers , used to working with facts, can draw is that there is no substantial expenditure attached to feeding the office of the Governor of Lagos State. Anything else is market woman gossip. No body is information minister to others here and we should all stop displaying intellectual laziness that shames our Nation. Folks should simply supply official figures here to back their insinuation that there may be a significant amount spent on feeding Fashola. If they can't do that, then I suggest they shut up |

Guk:Guk or whatever the heck ur name is, you are simply a lost case. Ur paymasters will surely be disappointed by ur performance 2day, oh! wait a minute thats actually what they pay u to do. When I saw the two links u provided I thought to myself here finally is the answer to the question the op asked but lo and behold on opening and going through them I discovered they are as empty as most of u fashola apologists. Pls can u tell me how the contents of the two posts by thisday and saharareporters answer this burning question?n Where in these posts is it stated in blue and black how much Lagos State budgeted for feeding in 2013? Posting budget review online is not the issue here get it son. I assume you have forgotten the question asked so I will do u a favour by reposting it: What was budgeted by Lagos for feeding in 2013?. That is the question so all ur ranting should be about answering it ok? |
Re: What Was Budgeted By Lagos For Feeding In 2013? by thelastPope(m): 11:44am On Jan 16, 2013 |
Gbawe: That there is no detailed budget doesnt mean that there is no expenditure. You are confusing yourself there. There is expenditure so there should be budget. Even the document on quarterly expenses on the LASG site omitted the expenses of the governor while all other personel expenses were included. That means there is no transparency. The reason you can question the FG is not because only the FG has such budget but because only the FG has put theirs in the public domain. The @op is asking for LASG details to be put in the public domain and he is very right! |
