One budget at a time. They need to really clean this mess up, it's embarrassing. The budget with the website doesn't have the N3bn cars, the one with the N3bn cars doesn't have the website. I'm not sure which budget is worse but they're too many allocations that are just suspicious

snailspeed:


Clap for yourself you hear. Keep worshiping Saint Buhari! You try

He is not fraudulent at aaaaaallllll. Na only steal he dey steal!

Reyginus:
What about hundreds of millions?

I WORSHIP NO MAN, BUT BUHARI KNOWS SUCH MISTAKES WILL RUBBISH HIS ADMINISTRATION

StOla:



The person I quoted already said same about his firm in the US.


Really to answer your question, Yes it is possible. It only means it is at least $1m to get us over N200m.


Again I say it is possible.

Ask around some top Nigerian companies. Mine is a global firm, and I know that the website with all the resources available on it is worth millions of dollars.

The minister still owes the public an explanation on how the estimate was attained.

Reyginus:
Lol. So he didn't examine the Budget?

Ola17:


Oh, so the budget was actually kidnapped from the senate after all. Are the jesters at the presidency aware of the implication of illegally withdrawing and tampering with the documents they submitted to the the senate? And I had such high hopes for this administration! Poor and naïve me!

mrmetoo1:
I'll say this, just because this is Nigeria I don't believe they'll upgrade the website for that amount of money. I believe this is one of those ways to steal money unless they come out and break it down further.

However let's try not too sound too ignorant. The OP said he knows guys that can build such website for N2m. What's such website? Do you know the kind of website they're trying to build? The company I worked for in the US spent millions of dollars on their "website" and spends thousands on maintenance and keeping it running. That was like a virtual office though, orders were placed through the website, payments were made, our whole inventory was on there, data entry guys were always adding new data. We in the engineering department used it to write notes and keep other departments updated on order progress and so on. Shipping and logistics kept records too, created shipping labels and so on. From the client side RMAs were created and so on and so forth.

Keep in mind the "Obama Care" website was built with $2.1bn, that's N400bn if we're using bank rates. The government was heavily criticized but they came out with a defense

To Update a Website? A website for ministry of Solid Minerals?

Buhari knows? Does he look like someone who cares to you? Did you not hear how he treated the Chibok parents today? You better wake up from the jazz they used to cover your face!

StOla:



Forget update. Focus your mind on "developing a website".

Too many illiterates in government offices who use terms so irresponsibly.


That is why we need to get a response from the ministry/minister.

But for your information, websites can cost millions of dollars. I can't even imagine my firm's website being down for a week. It could lead to a global change.

StOla:


Is there anywhere I mentioned that a website or software should be acquired for such an amount?

Kindly quote me saying so.

StOla:



Fashola's was also listed as "website update" but it turned out that to be more. From his explanation, the website was a repository of licensed software made available to the public with the cost already borne by the state government under the caption of "Website Update".

None from the mob of critics came out to fault the claim or prove that the licensed software available on the website should have cost significantly less?

I'm not an emotional critic or apologist.

I hope if a plausible clarification is given subsequently on this outlandish amount for a website update, you would hurry here to acknowledge your error?

Reyginus:
Why should I take 'developing a website' and not 'Website Update'? Isn't that clear enough? Don't the ministry of Solid Minerals have a website already?

snailspeed:


Please give me a break. Just stop this nonsense! Even Jumia or Konga website will not cost a 10th of that. What do you want to do on the site? A group of Ruby or Django guys will produce it for less than 5M and still tell you thank you. What do you even do on a site for ministry of solid minerals? It isnt even going to be a site for everyone because that ministry does not relate to every one. Its not like ministry of transport or youths and sports or ministry of interior or forein affairs. Their main clientelle are corporate organisations seeking to do mining business. Please dont make me laugh abeg

snailspeed:


You mind him? He is interpreting the budget here on NL and telling us what they really mean! Hahahahahahahaha

snailspeed:


Seriously? Is this your defence? Just about a year ago, you did not only insult GEJ, you people printed it on posters and banners and flyers than GEJ wants to spend so much in the budget, but now you are coming up with all these ridiculous explanations? so laughable

snailspeed:


You mind him? He is interpreting the budget here on NL and telling us what they really mean! Hahahahahahahaha

StOla:



Obviously he doesn't work in a company that will give such high security contract to a group of Django guys.

Get over yourself. He has already stated his reservation about a Nigerian government office having such a budget considering the corrupt peculiarities of Nigeria.

Concerning your question in bold, that is what the updated website should reveal. I believe the ministry would be responding soon. Lets see what explanation they have for such expenditure.

StOla:



Even if they had just a front page, it is on record that they had one. A new website will still be called an update.

Even if it was awarded to an entirely different company, it would still be termed an update.

So do you now understand that an update is not a change of font colour?

Cc: Reyginus

help3852:


MADAME EVEN IF YOU LIKE BRING MICROSOFT COMPANY TO DESIGN A BRAND NEW WEBSITE FOR YOU, THAT FIGURE IS FRAUD.

IF YOU ARE WAITING FOR EXPLANATION, YOU WILL WAIT MUCH LONGER

StOla:


Is that who you are?

Thanks for introducing yourself.

Now tell us something intelligent about the topic being discussed.

Reyginus:
Lolololol. Lol Again. And it will cost 795 million plus. Stop this nonsense bro. Why are you doing this? Do you think this is love? This is foolishness. Why not just simply say you need to hear from the ministry. What's this nonsense? What do you believe in? God? Dog? Humanity? Stop this.

StOla:



So you intend to only make noise online and then go to bed and pretend that this debate never happened?

You have already foreclosed on yourself deserving an explanation?

Whoever put that in the budget obviously knew people like you really do not care about anything.

StOla:



I believe I have made my position clear on the need to have the ministry explain this expenditure.


You however seem to be unable to wrap your has around the fact that a website can cost millions of dollars.

Not all people have the same exposure. However when someone has told you something is possible because it has been done, don't hang on aimlessly to a notion borne out of ignorance. Or don't you understand what it means that something has already occurred and become established as a fact, a history.

When I told a friend back in school that some employees earn over N50m pa in this country, they called me all sorts of names.
There is little I can do for the ignorant. Many of such people are now working jobs that pay what their narrow mind could fathom, I am working a job that my wild and adventurous mind could also fathom.


Stop arguing in ignorance. Same applies to Mr Django and his N5m website guys.

danmasani101:


What are you defending??
Your saint budget N795million to update website & you are here posting trash.
