FacelessPatriot:
Perhaps you prefer PMB should sit down and do nothing for 4yrs

barcanista:
What you should concern yourself with is the legitimacy or otherwise of my criticism.

barcanista:
With due respect Sir, I still don't see how this sermon relate with the thread. You make allegation that the last administration was the most corrupt but you have nothing to justify your claim. Add to this, you expect everyone to sign up to such a blind assertion. I shake my head! I don't even expect you to agree or disagree, my own is to share information that are based on FACT and can stand the test of time. You may continue to beat around circle in your bid to defend YOUR APC team/colleagues. But I let you to your conscience (if you have any)

philips70:
Barca, I can't engage anyone who defends corruption and corrupt people in any meaningful discussion.

The day you and yours will come out to accept GEJ and the PDP ran one of the most corrupt government in modern Nigeria is the day I will tell you my position on all the posts you have been creating. How do you expect me to take you serious on corruption issues when you are defending corruption with all your strength.

I brought in Ogundamisi because you like every other PDP members label anyone who criticizes Jonathan and the PDP as APC members. FYI, my cousin Prophet Jones Erue who runs a ministry in Portharcourt is the Delta state APC chairman but I have not spoken to him in years. So count me out and don't force a political party on me just because I constantly state my disdain for that treacherous party PDP.

Bro, I understand your tribal sentiments on the topic. Arguing with you is already a lost cause hence I won't waste more time on u.
Oh and before I forget, I'm a Nigerian not a Biafran.


Have yourself an amazing day.

CaptPlanet: Give credit where it's due. GEJ God will continue to bless your generation forever. Your good works will precede and succeed your lineage infinitely.


GEJ forever!

CaptPlanet:
Atleast the state govt produced something to back up their claim. Fash on the other hand only uttered some words and you bought it hook, line and sinker.
I raised issues but your busy calling names and throwing tribal tantrums, instead of you to argue wisely. Isn't that enough to show how biased your analysis are?

It's such a pity that someone like you who claims to be educated will prefer to stoop so low just to make a point.

Shows the level of your reasoning.

CaptPlanet:
This whole exposé came to light because the LASG said Fash inflated the price of the project to the tune of 78m and posted proof. The governor came out to say that a project initiated in his name firstly, wasn't his. Secondly he claimed he used below 10m for the website without proof.

The company told you how much they got not how much Fash embezzled from the govt.
That's why I said there was no common sense in your earlier post.

If truly fash used 10m, why didn't he show proof? Or did u not also see the document LASG posted? So you expect me to believe the utterances of a Nigerian political without proof and u claim your an intelligent individual?


I'm sorry for you. Honestly I am.

CaptPlanet:
Wtf are u going on about? A serving state governor spent 78m of state fund on a personal website and you're calling people trolls and bigots? What happened to common sense? Is it that you're having a hard time with comprehension?

CaptPlanet:
Lagos state govt published proof of 78m, Fash didn't show us any proof for 10m. This grandstanding won't fly! Fash jobbed us QED.



You want change in our country, start with yourself!

laudate:
Bros, na God I take beg you... stop trying to defend the indefensible.

Not all those who visit nairaland are tech-illiterates. Upgrading a website is NOT rocket science. Ask any software developer, programmer or IT-savvy person. Even the big tech giants such as SAP, Oracle, Microsoft, Google etc, would provide you with tech assistance to carry out such a project for less than one-third of the amount quoted up here. In the past few years, there has been a proliferation of tools, kits and info., for developing and upgrading websites that do not cost an arm and a leg. Even cyber-security solutions are increasingly more affordable these days! So where are these huge numbers coming from??!

I don't want to go into details, but saying you spent 78 million to upgrade a website, is like saying you spent 750,000 naira to charter a cab for 3 hours, to go by road from Lagos to Ibadan, in a painted city taxi. Is that taxi gold-plated?

The agency you mentioned is owned by the state govt, and takes directives from the governor. Do all ministries not have a commissioner or permanent secretary that is accountable to the governor?? So who is fooling whom?

780 million is NOT small pocket change, that can be hidden as a line item in the balance sheet. Ask any accountant.

They stated in their description that the 78 million was for "upgrade of a website." Those were their own words. Not mine.

So why are you trying to act as if those figures and description were pulled out of thin air??

Genius100:
Dumb OP. Obviously the IT company that built the website registered it, so the name of the registrant is the name of the representative of the IT company....

DeLaRue:
This seems a more reasonable response than Mr Fashola's own, but your explanation is not without its own problems:

- why were these 'other sites' not listed along with Mr Fashola's site in the list provided by the govt

- just as N70million is too much for a website or a series of websites, N10 million for several website including 'lifetime' maintenance is also implausibly low. How long is lifetime? 10, 20, 0 50, 100 years?

- i suppose 'lifetime' means to the end of Mr Fashola's tenure. So, has the website shut down now? If not, does it means Lagos tax payers are still paying for a website extolling/peddling Mr Fashola's messianic status.

Finally, what do you say about an elected official using public funds to pay for a website that appears to be aimed solely at advancing Mr Fashola's own political standing. Are you comfortable with this.

There really is no point asking PMB to fight corruption, but when it comes to an APC politician, we want to sweep everything under the carpet.

This can only damage the public's perception of the anti - corruption fight.

tpiander:
the site featured thousands of news reels, photos, etc, quite a lot of work.

dont know what some folks are complaining about.

i guess they only like seeing pictures of gutter, low self esteem people.

DeLaRue:
My brother, let's leave aside all the conspiracy theory about who sacked who, payback etc.

Even at N10 million, that is still grossly inflated. Secondly, and more importantly, why did Fashola use govt funds to build a website in his own name.

Would have been all these big words assuming I didn't add the small "if".... we still wait for the man of the moment to clear the "if"..... unless you have some other information.

mykl01:
If he does or does not get appointed it's nobody's problem. The point is you can't be serious about fighting corruption if you are surrounded by it. Nigerians (some) voted APC on their anti-corruption mantra and so far, from the issue of public declaration of assets(150 cows shouldn't take so long to count) to this latest scandal it seems they were short-changed. If this 78 million deal is true, we would love to know if they will still fight corruption or not because you cannot run and scratch your anus at the same time.

Duru1:
The above is arrant nonsense only capable of coming from a deluded Nigerian. Must the development of the any part of the zoo called Nigeria initiated by the elected son of the soil? Where is the essence of the so-called "One-Nigeria"? There must be massive infrastructural projects initiated in Bori , Opobo or Yenagoa in order to transform the cities to the standards seen in Lagos/Ikeja and Abuja. If the transformation is hard to initiate by government at the center, it is natural to allow the communities to manage the resources within their neighborhoods. One goon in Nigeria had suggested that the Daura Dumbass has every right to appoint ministers from his village. By the same token, communities in Nigeria have all the rights to take control of the resources from their communities. It is unfair that Lagos State is solely benefiting from the infrastructural projects erected by the federal government of Nigeria from the resources very alien to Lagos.

mykl01:
While you are in the act of governance, your spending should reflect your earnings and the socioeconomic environment at that time. 78million for a website upgrade by a public servant for his personal website is a colossal amount of money and I can't see how to justify it. If he is a business man, it wouldn't have been a scandal.

Why Lalasticlala and other supermods have not taken this to FP is baffling.

Reports say the United States Embassy in Abuja was flooded with American investors who wanted to make enquiries about Nigeria’s automotive industry.

Pulse.ng reports that this is as a result of president Muhammadu Buhari’s recent visit to the USA, as the investors were apparently impressed with the Nigerian leader’s presence and quality of his delivery.

The report further revealed that the embassy’s Counselor for Economic Affairs, Mr Alan Tousignant, during his visit of Director-General of the National Automotive Design and Development Council (NADDC) on Friday in Abuja, explained the reason for the investors’ visit.

President Muhammadu Buhari of Nigeria and his American counterpart, Barrack Obama, seem to have found a synergy

Mr Bello Rasheed, the Principal Executive Officer (Information) of NADDC, explained that Tousignant visited to make enquiries on the Nigerian Automotive Industry Development Plan (NAIDP), expecting to get answers for the deluge of inquiries from the American government and its business community on the NAIDP.

“Tousignant said that there had been an upsurge in the amount of business inquiries from America since the recent visit of President Buhari to the U.S.

“He told the NADDC DG that quite a number of the latest inquiries from potential American investors were on the Nigeria auto industry.

“Therefore, he needed to know about applicable staff structure, incentives, availability of skilled personnel, current total installed capacity, local value addition and industrial clusters and infrastructure.

“He also asked questions on applicable safety standards, annual national vehicle demand, export potential to other countries, among others,” a statement by Rasheed hinted.

The NADDC DG, Mr Aminu Jalal, was also excited by the “keen interest shown by American companies and businessmen in the industry” and he told his visitors that two American automobile giants, Ford Motors and General Motors, had confirmed their interest in starting vehicle assembly operations in 2016.
“The NADDC DG explained that Nigeria is the largest economy in Africa with very huge market for automobiles. He stressed that the auto policy is intended to transform Nigeria into a major vehicle manufacturing hub for leveraging on Nigeria’s abundant trainable labour force and material resources especially petrochemical-based.

“Jalal told Tousignant and members of his team that with a population of over 170 million, Nigeria could not continue to run an import dependent economy,’’ the statement said.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) had blasted president Buhari over his visit of the US, stating that he embarrassed the country while in the White House.
