I have simply pointed out the gross hypocrisy of Fashola and reasonable people understand how such hypocrisy (and its MUMUCIOUS acceptance by gullible folks) contributes to the general rot that has been our lot for the large part of 53 years since independence.
I hope you will appreciate if not everyone is carried away by JUST words like you seem to be angry

PoliticsRe: PTF Vs Sure P by DahomeyAmazon(f): 9:41am On Dec 09, 2013
theoctopus: Onitsha Owerri road, PH-Owerri road (work ongoing), Second Niger Bridge (work On going), Enugu International airport remodeled, Sure-p job creation in all the south east states, East corridor railway rehabilitation from Enugu to PH to Maiduguri about to be commisioned. Modern heart surgery center in UNN, to mention a few

Please can you show me one PTF project, not just in the south east, but the whole of the south. Please I am begging you
Nigerians never took
Abacha seriously on this project until Gen Muhammadu
Buhari was announced and inaugurated the chairman of
the PTF in March 1995 . That PTF awarded contracts
worth billions of naira is not news . The news the PTF
made within the four years it existed was and still is
that contracts awarded were executed to their logical
conclusion and for those not executed , the PTF got
every kobo back . Before PTF , contractors were used to
abandoning contracts and bolting away with their
advance payments. It never happened in PTF . When
Buhari visited the Onitsha end of the Enugu-Onitsha
express way awarded to a local contractor and
discovered the job was abandoned , he simply called on
the bank that guaranteed the contractor to pay back .
There and then , the contract was terminated and later
awarded to another contractor. From that moment ,
banks and insurance companies that provided bonds to
contractors learnt that the old order had changed and
had to monitor projects it guaranteed.
For the years it existed, PTF published its annual
reports and always addressed press conferences to
respond to issues arising from the reports . And each
time it did , it challenged anybody who could deliver on
any of its projects at a price cheaper than what it cost
the PTF to submit his proposal . Nobody ever did.
In one of the presentations of its annual report, the
Executive Secretary of the Board of the PTF , Chief
Tayo Akpata , maintained that the roads constructed by
the PTF not only cost less than World Bank funded
roads but were also better qualitatively . He challenged
anyone to prove the contrary . Until the PTF was
scrapped, nobody did .
While the PTF existed, contractors never needed to
lobby and grease palms to get LPO’ s . You only needed
to belong to the appropriate group of the
Manufacturers Association of Nigeria and other
professional groups to qualify. Not a few contractors
received requests to supply the PTF in the comfort of
their offices . It was so unbelievably true that some had
to travel to Abuja to reconfirm if the LPO’ s they
received were genuine . And genuine they were .
To be paid for a completed contract, all the contractor
needed was to present a certificate of completion issued
by the ubiquitous consultants engaged by the PTF and
his cheque would be prepared. And with a proper letter
of introduction, a contractor could send a third party to
pick his check across a counter in the Finance
Department without any ceremony. One cannot also
forget in a hurry the PTF drug revolving scheme. Under
this, the PTF set up offices in hospitals across the
country and supplied them with drugs . The financial
consultants employed by the Fund ensured that receipts
from the sales of the drugs were used to replenish the
stocks in an unending cycle that banished out- of-stock
anthem the Nigerian public were forced to listen to
before then. And it was not easy to divert PTF drugs
to the parallel market. The smallest tablet supplied had
PTF logo engraved on it . Somebody attempted diverting
the drugs and was caught . General Buhari took up the
case personally and ensured the culprit went to jail .
After that, nobody heard of diversions again .
The strategy of the PTF in procuring these drugs is
worth reviewing. Over 60% of the drugs supplied to the
PTF were locally produced. In fact, the PTF only
imported drugs that could not be produced by the local
pharmaceutical firms . The pressure on the existing
pharmaceutical companies was so much that almost all
these firms had to increase their capacity by expanding
and employing more hands . Neimeth Pharmaceuticals,
Emzor Pharmaceuticals among others can be contacted
to affirm or disprove this . This policy was deliberately
made to ensure that more jobs were created within the
economy. Builders who built for PTF would also tell you
that they were not allowed to import paints. There was
a list of all the paint manufacturers in the country
maintained at the PTF from which builders bought
paints. Within the same period, the capacity utilisation
in these companies soared as they expanded and
created more jobs . A look at the records kept by IPWA
plc and other existing paint makers within the period
under review is worth attempting to digest the profundity
of the PTF intervention in the building sector; and other
sectors it intervened in as its model was so overarching
that critics labelled it the alternative government .
This column is not enough to put in a proper perspective
the job General Buhari undertook and did while in PTF
but it suffices through this glimpse to understand the
mindset and the strategy of this maelstrom which the
ruling elite hate for his forthrightness – a quality in
short supply in governance today.
One can cite the number of roads and hospitals
rehabilitated by the PTF . One can also quote the
billions it spent. The essence of the PTF , however , lies
more in the multiplier effect its intervention had on the
economy as a whole than in the number of what it did ,
which on its own was equally impressive. This distinction
is what differentiates growth from development . While
the former is quantitative , the latter is qualitative . As a
political economist , I know that the economic development
of any third world country lies in qualitative
transformation.

Sincere 9gerian: All that you listed are products of your jaundiced and crooked imagination. I did not leave any online forum. Besides, you'r not in any position to determine which thread is silly or not because you lack the sanity of mind to do so.

And whenever I see the manifestation of the threat to make Nigeria ungovernable by the duo of Tinubu and Buhari, I will NEVER hesitate to make a mountain out of it. National development is a COLLECTIVE responsibility and no one individual, not even the president of a nation, can single handedly develop a nation.
You were just accused of falsehood and you just proved it, what has ungovernable got to do with Tinubu and Buhari?
You are anti Nigeria, you are a demonic lair

This is a public forum and if you dont like the way things are done around here stop visiting, and i assure you, you aren't gonna be missed. You keep yelping like a rabid chuwawa outta whose mouth a bone has been yanked. As much as you think the mods are bias, alot more folks in here think they are fair. What gives you the impression your opinion is superior to others? If you were being revered as a king in the little cocoon from whence you emerged and you were expecting thesame treatment here only to be disapointed, deal with it man! If you want a forum where only your opinion would be heared, create one. We've had enough of your whining!

Sincere 9gerian: Who was the coward that created this thread? Why didn't you make this observation in the thread in question? I know I saw your ID viewing that thread on several occasions before it was closed. Why wait for the thread to be closed only to create another thread on the same matter? Why didn't this your emotional outburst take place in the thread in question?

Unlike the sentimental ranting you wanted to pass as statements of facts, valid and SPECIFIC questions were raised in that thread. I'm sure if you had spewed this thrash on that thread, right thinking persons would have taken you to the cleaners. I personally asked that the thread be closed so as not to create further conflict but I didn't realise a coward was waiting in the wings to create another thread on the same matter. Yours is a clear case of cowardice or at best clueless copycat?

All I and many others have asked for is FAIRNESS and nothing more. I am sure the moderators and super-mods got the message. The opinion of one coward whose courage failed him when it mattered most remains inconsequential.
I see the ordinary mouthpiece has started attaching too much importance to Himself. FYI you are nothing more than a village rat.

Ngwakwe: From the tone and the format of the paragraph he mentioned Achebe's book, There was a Country, it was conspicuously obvious that FFK don't have the book neither has he read it but chose to summarise the content from controversial point of views arising from media talkshows and Yorubas defence of Pa Awo after its launch.

When writing an essay of this magnitude, he ought to cite the page containing what he thought was Achebe's attempt at rewriting the history before putting up the correction and seeking for Ohaneze Ndigbo to render apologies to Almighty Sophisticated tribe in Nigeria.
Why should he qoute from a story book? A fiction of someone's imagination. Ashebe is nothing but a pained story teller. A failed diplomat who couldn't convince the world about ojukwu's greed. biafra
