Olasijibomi Of Sujimoto Luxury Construction Declared Wanted By The EFCC

greatiyk4u:
Do you know how many of the buildings that have collapsed while still under construction?
Many have not even started yet he was already mobilized.... collecting money for contract and not executing it is fraud

Neddstark:
And if indigenous contractors are used in other regions instead of Igbo contractors, you cry discrimination.

IGBOPROMISE1:
I hope so too! There are many Igbo contractors that could have done a better job, and done it with passion too! The likes of Spyder that commented earlier on this thread is good at these sort of contracts, and there are many like him prepared to do the job! I suppose Mbah was looking for a ‘big name’ in the industry to avoid the exact same problems he’s now having to deal with!

Mynd44:
If the tables are turned and I said this, all of us here will not rest for the next 21 market days.

You know what you are doing

Penguin2:
I’m not trying to be tribalistic. I’m just saying that there are projects that should best be handled by an indigenous contractor while you outsource others.

Imagine Katsina governor wants to build smart Mosques in every ward, who do you think will be more passionate about the project and strive to deliver it as envisioned between an Igbo Christian from Enugu and a Muslim from Katsina?

Or imagine governor Lucky of Ondo State plans to embark on Cocoa regeneration project to make Southwest what it was in the times of Awolowo as regards Cocoa production, who do you think will be more emotionally attached to such project? A plant scientist from Kano or an Ondo indigene with verifiable history of delivering similar projects?

You know what I’m talking about, not that I have issues with the guy being Yoruba.

The MD of Enugu State Broadcasting Service (ESBS) is a Yoruba man that previously worked with Channels Television, have you ever seen me express misgivings with his appointment?

The CSO to Abia governor is from Edo, have you seen me express reservations with his position?

An Igbo contractor would have been passionate about the project and delivered it in the spirit of “Nkea-bu-nke-anyi”.

Mynd44:
Yimu. You cannot hide what you said or the intention behind it.

exactly, a non-Igbo person can't care about Igbo pupils as they hate them all is what you mean. There are building companies owned by Igbos all over the country and imagine people start saying they should be given contracts because they wont be passionate.

The first day I saw an Innosoon truck was was 2013 and then governor Fayemi bought those trucks while ignoring Lanre Shittu, did anyone cry? no

I have met the CEO of Sea Horse Lubrication, Ebuka Onunkwo and he said his products sell more outside the SE , imagine people saying only an Hausa man can be passionaye Hausa drivers and their trucks hence don't buy it.

And you are here defending your bigotry. Continue.

Zocalite:
I was travelling from Ezeagu to different different Local Governments, I had an accident that my back got broken but I didn't tell anybody.

.....

By this you should know say he's spinning the story.

But that's how to become wealthy in nigeria Sha

He defaulted in paying the governor's percentage to the appropriate quarters

Penguin2:
So this guy is reason why the Enugu Smart Schools in every ward has not materialized as Peter Mbah envisioned it?

This is not tribalism but I blame Mbah. There are Igbo contractors who would have delivered that project without all this kind of drama that is happening now.

An Igbo contractor would have been passionate about the project and delivered it in the spirit of “Nkea-bu-nke-anyi”.

I hope he learns from this.

AndroBlaze:
Read between the lines.

He admitted on the video that from DAY ONE, the cost the government wanted him to build the schools at did not make sense, and the government apparently accepted this.

Which suggests even if not for inflation, he would have definitely had to cut corners to deliver.

What you people don't know is that this is standard practice for a lot of government projects and that is why a lot of them don't last or contractors abandon the projects halfway (if it even gets to halfway).

Most government officials don't go after a lot of these contractors because they've already collected their own part even before the project begins.

I was not there when he did his project (so I can't say if his own followed the exact same tune), but this is no news nor a major earth shattering discovery, everyone in their circle knows these things.

AndroBlaze:
Sometimes I believe we get the kind of people we deserve in Nigeria.

How can a professional accept a contract to build substandard buildings as SCHOOLS, and be openly saying it, and because he is shedding tears in the video, Nigerians will start supporting him.

If the buildings collapse, just like Lekki Gardens own did, and innocent children from poor and average families now die, people will be calling out government, Tinubu is wicked, Mbah is wicked... conveniently forgetting their was a contractor who knew he could not meet standards that took the job in the first place!!

Could this grown man who is already wealthy (thanks to Nigeria being a basket case) not just say "No" and move on??

Is it every contract that we must take in this country?

Anyway, he has shed tears now so it cannot be his fault.....chai it is good to be an "Elite" in this country ooo, these kind of followers there mumu never do

Kukutente23:
Your thinking is warped
You're blaming a contractor for a state gov asking him to build substandard schools?
Who has responsibility for ensuring standard between the contractor and the heartless state gov?
Who gives out contact specifications between the gov and the contractor
Some of you can defend anything as long as it's politicians involved
I just hope your pay is worth it

Kukutente23:
You mean there are only 22 wards in Enugu state?
How come there are so many uncompleted projects in Abia? Were they all given to non-Igbo contractors?

123papas:
The Enugu State Government is wrong. How can you pay a Contractor in advance without an APG?

AndroBlaze:
Oga it is you that is struggling to think outside the box without blaming all your problems on politicians.

You heard only one side of the story and you just assumed that everything he said was 100% true without even listening to how he was indicting himself. You should be old enough to know there are always 2 sides to the story and a grown man applying theatrics is likely embellishing things

For your information he accepted a contract of over N11bn to build 22 schools. Thats N500m a school with change on top. Government gave him N5bn as mobilisation fee.

As bad as Nigeria is currently, N500m in Enugu is far more than enough to ensure standard structures. Go online and see the rubbish he was building that was collapsing and injuring people.

So between me an you, who is the one defending people who don't care about your existence and make their money of the corrupt basketcase that is Nigeria??

Some of you just talk anyhow without even the smallest verification.

Kukutente23:
You have changed tact.
I am not referring to Enugu's side of the story or any other extenuating circumstance
I am calling out your theory that a contractor has an obligation to ensure standards in govt approved contracts
That's warped thinking regardless of any other circumstance that may surround this particular case
As a matter of fact, the govt narrative is at odds with your initial take. The govt actually paid him well for the contract and monitored his performance which enabled them to come to a conclusion that he was defrauding the state
Your initial case which transfers responsibility for ensuring that govt contracts are done according to standards to the contractor is what I am correcting. It is wrong, false and totally irresponsible.
Government is the primary regulator of all economic activities in all countries of the world. Learn that lesson today!!
