You remind me of a dude who I schooled with and served NYSC with.

While discussing our career plans as engineers and what potential jobs were available for fresh graduates like us, I told him assertively that I couldn't settle for a job pay less than N500k/month. He looked at me with such disgust, wondering why a fresh graduate should feel so entitled to such pay he found outrageous. He contended that N100k/month was good enough.

Less than a year after service, he got his own N100k/month job while I got myself a N1m/month type of job. I still wasn't contented and aspired for something better, while my pal is still today aspiring towards a pay windfall of N500k/day.

This same category of people wonder why I would spend N45K on a Lacoste polo shirt or N60k on a Tommy Hilfiger jeans. When you can buy same at Balogun market in Isale Eko for less than N5k each.

The above true story is the mentality in display when people wonder why one website is N2m and another is N500m or more. Lack of exposure!

Throwback:


An aimless critic like you would still have found fault if it was a N5m portal.

You would have claimed Bayo also builds website for N500K.

People like you are stuck in the mud till the high tide overcome you.

You belong to the Huawei and CCECC mentality. Some of us belong to the Ericsson and Cappa & D'alberto mentality.

So when matters like these are discussed, it is no surprise what side of the divide we align with.

Throwback:


The portal is for fun. It is to stream you tube videos.

Are you happy now? Did you read the content of the news at all or you are another aimless critic on the prowl?

Nbote:


Oga can u please list 3 major issues bedeviling d sector and how d website is going to fix it... Only den will I respond to ur "aimless critic" jab

ivandragon:



lol...


just look at you... a moth thinking itself to be a falcon...


you are a political ranter for your preferred looters, that's all you are.

Throwback:

I repeat, you are stuck in the mud.

Throwback:


Dude, Fayemi and his ministry made a mistake.

They should have let things be as they met it. They shouldn't have bothered with a budget that went beyond just paying salaries of redundant ministry civil servants.

You want growth but castigate money expended to modernise an income generating ministry?

Nobody will beg Union bank to spend the money they refused to spend when the likes of Zenith and GTB were investing in ICT.

It is Union bank that will perish or wake up after the party has ended like they have now. As for the aimless board members who had no vision when the likes of GTB and Zenith were "wasting money on ICT", what is the value of their Union bank shares now?

Nbote:


Now tell urself d truth, who's aimless now? I simply asked u about d issues u claimed d website would solve and U are comparing banks?

The portal was designed for mining investors to perform business processes such as online mining licences and mineral titles applications, online payment of royalties and fees, database for revenue drive and to block revenue leakages.

keep quite & stop being an ignoramus...

have you visited the website to see if it justifies that amount?


have you forgotten that there was an uproar when this amount was said to have been budgeted for website in 2016? so why won't it boldly come out to say so when it had been padded ab initio... same way the $25b NNPC will be defended by the likes of you when they tell Nigerians that they have executed $25b in thin air...


you just keep jumping up & down to defend rubbish simply because it is your preferred thieves doing the looting...

seunowa:

Just look at an illiterate who has no knowledge on ict oozing d usual rubbish..just stick to factual matter,there is no missing $25b or non-existing contract awarded by NNPC.
Kachuwu who authored d memo has clarified d matter but it seems u are a soldier who has been mobilized to "go" but cannot process "come" once u already set off

Throwback:


I afforded you something deeper, yet free, but a simple man just wants his wooden chair rather than a forest of mahogany.

So let me stoop to your level of comprehension and give you something simple that was already in the news report you refused to see.





Guess what?

I just received an email from Accenture, notifying me of some task for which my response has become due. I wonder how many millions of Dollars my firm pay them to manage just some aspects of our database and ICT resource?

I reckon we could have found a cheaper alternative from Bayo for just a couple of millions in Naira?

My firm must be very wasteful.

Nbote:


What is it with some of U always dodging questions and beating around d bush. D mining sector setting up a website is totally pointless and not a priority. Priorities are so for a reason and getting it right is what determines and shows clarity and a clear cut path.
Anyways here's a KPMG report u shld seesince u want to kip making excuses and baseless scenarios

Would investors b downloading d minerals directly from d website or d mining will b done on d internet?

I do not see any problem with spending money to develop another revenue generating sector of our economy.

Must we always criticise every money spent, even when spent appropriately and to generate more income?

I have already highlighted the need for trained experts that the ministry has already alluded to.
