Evil men

Umuekwensu

Some people will be going to church to blame the devil and look for miracle not knowing the devil is alive and he is a minister in the zoo

The baboon will visit in helicopter and you sleep for 2/days at bridgehead

And you say we should remain in the zoo called Nigeria and keep suffering

Fools

seunmsg:
Very brilliant and detailed response. I was particularly concerned by the allegation that the ministry returned billions of Naira meant for the second Niger bridge and it's good that the minister has now debunked that terrible lie. From my experience of how the ministry operates, I knew it was almost impossible for such a thing to happen.

The National assembly just wanted to play to the gallery and deceive gullible Nigerians with their watery attack on the minister. Hopefully, the executive will approach the supreme court and get a definite decision on the issue. It's high time this matter is settled once and for all.

seunmsg:


The minister can't just walk into ministry of finance and demand for money, that is not how government works.

The ministry of budget and planning controls the budget. All MDAs will submit their capital proposal to them and they will give approval based on the availability of funds and other factors that are best known to them. Once an MDA gets approval from budget and planning, it is then the duty of the finance ministry to release the funds. If there is no approval for a project from budget office, finance can't give you shishi.

allrightsir:

i am not a minister responsible for critical infrastructure and hence the future of Nigerians. If you have nothing to say in defense of Fashola keep quiet. This is the problem of Nigerians, instead if sticking to issues, you get sentimental and emotive. it's people like you that help keep mediocre people in positions of power, instead of asking what are they really doing and how effective are they.

dabraska:


Look, if I'm in Fashola's shoes, I'll do exactly what he's doing now. Blaming everyone. But I consider myself as grossly inappropriate and extremely incompetent for the role. So what nonsense is he doing? He's supposed to be competent and experienced. Your job is to make things work and not complain here and there. That was why you were put there.

Don't celebrate mediocrity. The ministry has displayed his gross incompetence and of course, he has to cover up by blaming everyone but himself.

ideologies:
who submits the budget to national assembly. bro you are talking from reverse gear.

ministry send proposal to budget and planning. Budget and planning approves sent to assembly, as soon as national assembly approves, and the President signs it becomes a law.

Do you know what a law is?

Mr. Fashola stated that the focus on contracts by the spokesperson is probably a Freudian slip that reveals his mindset and interests; when indeed he should be focused on developmental projects that strengthen the economy, which is the focus of the Economic Recovery and Growth Plan endorsed by the legislature.

allrightsir:


you have just proved my point: I am Yoruba! Unlike you and other tribal bigots that I have the misfortune of sharing a country and tribe with, your myopia, prejudices, tribal religious and political sentiments stop you from engaging your brains and I repeat, it is precisely because of people like you that morons continue to wander the corridors of power and brilliant Nigerians continue to power economies abroad.


Fashola is incompetent, he was incompetent as governor and he is incompetent as a minister, it's only in Nigeria (thanks to people like you) that someone with such an mediocre track record is put on a pedestal.

allrightsir:


look at my post history, you slowpoke, I have had course to state it many times!!!


Dont let the resources of Lagos deceive you, there are a few governors who would have done multipole times better with the resources of Lagos...Amosun being one.

seunmsg:


Stop discussing what you don't understand. MDA's don't just sit down and expect funds once the budget is signed. They still have to go back to budget office to get approval for their quarterly allocations. They will have to submit a proposal on how they want to spend funds allocated to them in the budget and back it up with advertised projects where necessary. The budget office will then give approval based of availability of funds, priority of the projects and other factors known to them. Ministry of finance will then release funds to the MDA after the approval.

Resources are scarce and budget doesn't get implemented more than 60-70% most times irrespective of whether the budget is a law or not. None of our budgets had performed up to 100% since 1999. So, stop the ignorant belief that ministers can just walk into ministry of finance and demand for funds allocated to their ministry in the budget.

Any yoruba man, who understands what Awolowo did with limited resources at the regional and federal level should be ashamed of himself for citing Fashola and putting him on a pedestal as an example of good governance. Fashola's govt was a govt of GROSS inflation of contracts and mediocre delivery, I talk from inside knowledge.

ideologies:
hahahha none has performed, or you mean none collected up the approved proposed sum.

seunmsg:


When you become a minister (I doubt that happening though), just walk straight to ministry of finance and collect all funds allocated to your ministry in the budget.

ideologies:
monies are remitted per milestone. stop deceiving yourself, most times ministers come back and review the cost and collect more than what was initially proposed. Go and learn that part too

allrightsir:


I simply said Amosun is doing well for the resources he met on ground. Any mor*n (e.g fashola) will look good when you have the resources of Lagos and an electorate like yourself.

you are clearly a nonentity not worthy of further engagement, you are here to reinforce your entrenched beleifs not to debate facts or be objective but I will leave you with this fact if this will not get you to think, nothing will.....Lagos is twice the size of Ghana in terms of economy, it's population is 2/3rds of ghana, and it's land mass will fit into ghana 100 times. So if you are educated and intelligent enough to understand the implications of these stats, come again and tell me Fashola was an exceptional governor.

The reason why Fashola is failing now is because he was always overated thanks to dumb asses like you

Nosaghae:

And you think that the minister cannot play to the gallery and deceive gullible nigerians

fyneguy:


oh my God!

Didn't you read the part where he said the high water levels halted the works?

ideologies:
you should be asking y fashola is the one minister complaining , don't u think so.


The project was inflated simple.

imagine 17bn for EIA alone

luvinhubby:
Fashola has just displayed the bigot in him :

You had 40 billion for Lagos - Ibadan and 12 billion for 2nd Niger bridge respectively in 2016 budget, you requested and had 26 billion released to you for Lag - Iba but did not request for a dime for 2nd Niger bridge, also, the NASS said that both projects has private partnership involvement and in your statement you said you wanted to complete all projects that you met which informed your decision to seek for total govt budgetary spending for the Lag - Iba road and you are still waiting for concessionaires to raise funding for 2nd Niger bridge.

Thank God for the NASS that is here to checkmate the excesses of political bigots like Fashola.

allrightsir:


So it is fashola that made the economy of Lagos what it is, not the fact that that terrorism drove the abokis away from the North and kidnapping from the east as well as the fact the lagos has always been the economic capital of Lagos with the sea and airport. Why is it that all the new key in industries in the last 6 yers are going to Ogun not Lagos?

I shame myself by arguing with r*tarded minds. Deisel fumes from Lagos generators have messed up your brain

Dumaknesset:



So who will you recommend that is not mediocre, Barth Nnaji!, I can see through your hypocrisy, pretend to be blind to all he has been doing, in order to undermine him, the Nass reduced his ministries budgetary allocations and that is the crux of the thread, you can't see all he has been doing even from his seminal rebuttal.

What is driving you guys over the bend is that the only super minister is an afonja, I can see through that. He can only deliver within the confines of what is assigned to him, or you want him to give you 24 hours light, when your Gej privatised the Phcn and your militants will not stop to tamper with gas supply.Hypocrisy, bigotry and tribalism the three cancerous growths in the brain of an average ipodian.

Do you think if I submit and inflated budget to you and it was slashed with counter facts and figures, I'll have the audacity to keep coming at you like that?
