Maybe u didnt see this>

How about that, Oluwole boys no dey dish out more fake - authentic documents than this one . . . My lips remain for now

oyb:

1,500,000 for fuelling generators

and the gej administration claims to be serious about resolving our power problems and skyrocketing diesel costs

and the shameless apologists are as  usual , defending squandermania as long as it is done by their son

violent:

^^stop being an ídiot!  it makes no sense for a widely read online media to dish out forged documents that are easily refuted!

SR might have erred in the past in terms of opinions,Lies,deceit and shameful propaganda that were exposed as being misleading ( rephrased correctly) but when they present documents, it's always the case that such documents are genuine

violent:

forgive my outlash, I am not always like that, my coffee just happen to come late and with bad taste too!

kcjazz:

Wouldn't it be nice if Mr. President says lets forgo long thing and just do this in Aso Rock, no time for long speeches?

If this document is true, which kind flower will cost N3 million 1 week to the day of event?

My people, although I don't support GEJ or anything PDP, and as much as I hate to say this, the list is still reasonable compared to what obtains everywhere. The 1.5million for gen is obviously the church taking advantage of the event to fund their monthly overhead. We all know that people always take advantage of the govt. At the slightest opportunity, we all feel its d national cake, why would a whole church wait till when there is handing over before taking the opportunity to buy their own sound equipment? I wouldn't be supprised because the catrhedral that hosted the wedding between prince william and kate also used the opportunity to fix some things in the church. A standard line array sound equipment for a church costs between 30 to 40million although it depends on how big the auditorium is ( trust me, I know guys that are into sound), I think the extra mark up is one minister somewhere / one govt official somewhere asking for their own share before approving the bill. Let me cite an example.
My company recently did a project for a local govt. The actual cost of the project is 1.5million, but the project co-ordinator said he'll take 1million before he will award the contract, we were also told that d chairman would take 2million before approving it, so we were told to do another quotation. The project was finally done to the tune of 4.7million, which is more than twice the original cost.
The problem with Nigeria is beyond what we, its the whole system.
May God deliver us

Rhino.5dm:

wtf!  so you are now transfering the blame to the CHURCH o ma se o!

These people will go to any length to justify their corrupt ridden self.

If a church ask you to pay 15 million to fuel gen for your child naming events will you PAY?

Can't just believe the % moorons having access to internet.

Bush inauguration in 2005 $150 million
Obama's $170 million (N25 billion)

We like comparing ourselves to the US so lets compare this.

What you should be worried about is the utilization. Most of it will go to security I guess.
The population of US is 307 million, Nigeria is about half of that.

That amount is 1/5th of that of the US 3 years ago.
What is the problem with that?

afterall he is d easiest person to blame

he is not the easiest person to blame, he is the only person to blame, on several occasions Yaradua cut budgets or bills citing the very obvious- ridiculous shameless overprice these dude come up with, I remember he cut the Nigeria 09 budget and told them to cancel the damn tournament if they cant manage that amount!

What do you really think will happen if Jonathan decide to have this inauguration in house? you think the stock market will crash? or you think African leaders wont ask us for peace keeping soldiers again?

Just because something is this way dont mean you just have to nod your head to it, cancel the damn thing, nothing in the constituion says it has to be done with 'new uniforms and 3 million naira flowers from kenya'

The one he did last year in his office is that illegal?

I beg to disagree with your choice of words, the fact that U don't see things from someone's point of view doesn't mean U shld start name calling, it won't butress your point, it will only show to the whole world how immature U are. I believe you should act your age and argue your point like an adult and stop the beer parlour attitude for the sake of civilization. I have given my reasons for understanding the quote for this event, in the document it was clearly stated that 2.5million is allocated for honorarium for the officiating ministers, yet you don't want to blame the church. What happens to the sound systems after the event? Yet you are not blaming the church. Its like robbing a dead man of his belongings and still claiming innocence because the dead man didn't stop you from taking his things. The govt asks d church for quotation for sound or asks for a consultant to give them a bill, the govt will not tell you not to give them a bill of 25million for sound system, what d govt will do is add an extra 20million or more to your quote. This is the point I'm trying to make. The whole system is corrupt. Or is it the president that will go to the market to buy fuel or buy projectors? Let's be realistic here. What we are looking at is a situation where some people exploit the country while instead of condemning these people, we blame everything on d president, afterall he is d easiest person to blame. The whole system is corrupt, from the church to the minster to the govt officials, to the officiating pastors asking for 2.5 million as honorarium (why not do it for free if they are working for God?)

Let's face it, I'm not defending GEJ for using our hard earned money recklessly, I am rather blaming the system which allows for stuffs like this to happen.
Are bills like this debated on by any agency or maybe a public forum?
Where are the funds coming from? And what part of the budget is it included in?
These are questions that needs to be answered.
