Mr management expert, you are yet to answer the question in bold. How can a cobra give birth to a lizard?

Aloy~Emeka:
Nairalanders and their fish brain. Do these Fashola apologists think that either  Fashola or Tinubu  will agree there is a rift between them in the media?.

mekusxxx:
I hear you!

Just wait until the ''rumour'' (note the quotes) unravels.

The Security Trust Fund is not a government institution; it is not an agency under the purview of the state government. It’s an agency initiated by the government and funded by outsiders. It’s not an agency of the government, so I cannot go there and ask them to open their book.”

From your website

So Fash instituted an NGO, forces/persuades/cajoles/hoodwinks people to donate money into it and then turns round to award a contract for the purchase of helicopters with the same money to his brothers. Interesting scenario.

When asked if he was aware, as the chairman of the House Committee on Security, of the issue of the helicopters, he said, “I am not complaining. The Security Trust Fund is not a government institution; it is not an agency under the purview of the state government. It’s an agency initiated by the government and funded by outsiders. It’s not an agency of the government, so I cannot go there and ask them to open their book.”

babapupa:
Let me school you a little bit,

The money for the helicopters came from the police trust fund. Fashola and the state has zero jurisdiction over the trust fund  because the money doesn't belong to the state. Fashola  didn't award the contract because he has no authority to do such, the trust fund's governing board did.

I'm not asking you to stop peddling your rumor and ignorance since it's gonna be like preventing you from doing what you do best, lmao

IG to commission Police patrol vans
Latest News Dec 3, 2009 By Anayo Okoli

Umuahia—The Inspector-General of Police, Mr Ogbonna Onovo, will soon commission 40 new patrol vehicles procured for the Abia Police Command by the state government.

Abia Police Commissioner, Mr. Jonathan Johnson, made the disclosure while taking delivery of brand new Hilux Patrol vans donated to the Command by the Chairman of Isial Ngwa South Local Government Area, Dr. Anthony Agbazuere.

A happy Jonathan noted that the gestures received from the government of the state and the support from Agbazuere would propel the command to do more in fighting crime.

“I will say that I am a very lucky man. I have seen love, I have seen commendations and I have seen encoura
gement since I came here. This is one thing that will normally propel us to do better,” Johnson said.

He called on other council chairmen in Abia to emulate Agbazuere, saying that if all the 17 council chairmen should provide vehicles to the police “it would go along way in providing equipment for the police to fight crime.”

Please prove that the money is Police money. I am not the one accussing him. It was in the papers.

agabaI23:
Gotcha. However I think your last sentence relates to my understanding of the cheering in your first post . . lol

One thing I have come to understand is that as far as the people are not standing for their votes to count, it will always take the godfathers to get to the position of governance.

This means that even those who do not subscribe to Godfatherism will have to follow that route as a means to an end.
I do not think the masses should let him stand alone because he is falling out with his Godfather in other to serve the masses.
Don't you think that the detractors will think twice if the masses resist any such moves? That could count as  a step  towards taking back their government methink.

MissOyinbo:
Everyone needs to wake up, we know Fashola has done a lot but do you think he has done what people really need. basic amenities, to start with electricity for the country to be in good standing. We need him to help turn electricity on and be permanently stable. I only see him focused on things that are not the basics for an average citizen of this country. Once power is stable in Lagos or Nigeria as a whole everything else will fall in place. If Fashola can stabilize electricity we will vote him in as President. The reason why I am laying emphasis on Power and Electricity because that is the number one basic amenity that we citizens of Nigeria need to succeed in every aspect of our lives.

brooklyn99:
^^^^^hey, triablist, yeah u^^^^ u know this thread is not about the faults of lagos right?its titled the "best gov", but then again what do i expect from a clear tribalist. hahhahahaha, i seen you pics of abia. dont u think itd be a good idea to let the governor of lagos govern that sh.it hole for like 4 months so he can effect some changes there?

honeric01:
where? Lagos or Mogadishu?

Abagworo:
whose areas were neglected by yoruba and northern led government.

puskin:
Why should they ban "ogogoro" when there's no money for "STAR".
Another law designed to tame the poverty stricken populace.

A DUMB PROCESS.
HOW where the Governors picked for Voting,
the poster just woke up and put names there.
Arrant NONSENSE! m not a part of this sarcasm

felele:
Babapupa, thanks for this.

One tiny detail, however: The governor in his address does not mention the issue of ownership of the facility. I guess he forgot to add the words "own and operate" after "design and build".

I still see Deux staff all around the complex doing this and that. In what capacity are they working in that complex. They are there cleaning, pushing patient wheelchairs, dollies and such like around.

To drive the point further home, a close friend recently took his father there after a mild heart attack. He was originally in the emergency ward, where he spent about N100,000 on sundry blood tests at the BT Diagnostic centre. Thereafter, he was recommended to go into the Critical Care Unit, but was asked to pay a deposit of N300,000 for his care. At the end of one week in CCU, he was asked for an additional N70,000. He was then moved into the male ward in a 3 storey building nearby, where he spent an additional week and paid another N70,000. These charges did not include the costs of drugs and other tests conducted after the initial blood tests. MRI scan cost N68,000 at BT Diagnostic centre.

BT Diagnostic Centre is owned and operated by Bola Tinubu. The CCU is owned and operated by him - even the doctor in charge is a Tinubu! There are other units within the complex that are privately owned/managed, like the morgue, for instance. I have no arguments with private ownership.

There's just this nagging ethical issue that refuses to go away, which makes it one kind for a Governor to be the one owning these facilities. Na only hin get money for Lagos? The bidding process was clearly not an open one. If it was, kindly refer us to the the newspaper advertisements calling for expressions of interest and or bids.

Like I said, there's not a problem with PPP. It's just that the private part of that PPP MUST NOT be connected to the operators of Government Apparatus in any way, else there is a SERIOUS conflict of interest which means WE the people will not get the best bang for our buck.
