So you mean Fashola now owns a bank...APC are just full of dullards.

InglishTeechar:
The project description states 'upgrade' of website, meaning the website already exist, so are you telling me that he intend to use tax payers money to finance a personal project?...because the last time I checked the name of the website is www.tundefashola.com and not Lagos state government. Haba receive sense in Jesus name

Happiness87:
which you know as long as he's in APC he will never be found guilty, hahaha

realborn:
I'm disappointed at Fashola if this allegation is true. It looks like a dash to political allies.

He should have kept his coded looting within bigger contracts as it has always been the case. Extending same to baseless awards like "Post Handover Personal Website Upgrade" at N78m is ludicrous and stinks of greed.

I pray he his able to defend this corrupt gaffe. Otherwise, he should lead the covert plea bargaining process by returning every penny with fiduciary interest back to Lagos's purse through the phony company.

On repentance, he is still one of my favorites to someday lead Nigeria - Duke, Fashola & El Rufai!

How old are you?

socialmediaman:
I don't know that. The law ideally is blind, but he's genuinely respected among Lagosians for his achievements and inclusive governance so I guess lots of people will be heartbroken to see it end this way.

shegsrules:
Older than u, at least ur pic has shown how old u are.

Bgino:
My dear SOCIALMEDIAMAN i beg to differ with ur opinion on this..in ur great epistle on the 17th of july titled OUR CRIMINAL POLITICIANS MUST RETURN OUR MONEY u made a clarion call in the nineth paragraph urging Nigerians to avoid ethnic sentiments beclouding our sense of judgement in issues regarding the recoveries of our stolen monies..if u fail to condemn Fasholas fiscal and financial reclessnes in the award of contracts during his tenure..then the share in the general evil is certainly yours..The likes of Fashola and Amechi and many state governors have blundered the resources of Nigeria over the past decade with impunity without prosecution..78million for a website development...? Haba bros

Happiness87:
no true, just that they are too busy waking up by 4am to get to office by 7. 30am and return home by 9pm. They don't have time to pay attention to details,

a state with 200bn IGR, if 50bn is used judiciously for projects, you can steal 150bn and they will not notice.

that is what is happening in Lagos, similar in Akwa Ibom, Rivers and kano

socialmediaman:
Read this before you conclude:

I am not here to find Fashola innocent or guilty or hold a brief for him. I do not have the details of the contract so i would wait for a statement from Fashola before drawing my conclusions. Fashola is definitely not crazy to award a contract of 78 million for just a website upgrade. There could be more to it, let's give him some benefit of doubt

If you're knowledgable about websites, you'll know that a contract like this would involve much more than the website itself, like:

Development of custom school management software (ERP system)

Development of taxi service management system ( example Uber)

Development of other custom software management systems for the Fashola projects

If that's the case, then This is no biggie, it's worth the amount, but I am not holding brief for Fashola on this as I do not have details of the said contract award, when he releases a statement, I'll do my own personal assessment about it. We're in an Information Age though, his bad. But for now, I'll say innocent until proven guilty.

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.

it is u dat should shut ur stinking mouth, d guy was only trying to analyze d mode dat surround d contract, and he seems to know more abt d job dan u, u claim to be educated but ur line of discussion doubts Weda u actually went to school, u didn't educate us on y u think d amount should not be up to dat , instead u ar speaking British Ghetto Grammer , U PDP apologists ar only Wailing, Fashola will definitely get appointment in dis government, and if u ar not happy after it has appened, I personally advice u all to follow Oba Akiolu's Theory.

1. Personal or not, you have no clue per the content of former state's executive's retirement package so you can not reach any kind of conclusion per any wrongdoing. Even his prewdecessor has something similar and obviously done by the same vendor.

We are talking about legislated budget instituted by a constitutionally legislated government agency.


2. The agency in charge did not hide the project, it's intent or the amount. It's right there fully disclosed for the public to see.

When people commit illegal acts or wrong doing, they hide it away from the public including you.

3. The state procurement agency awarded the contract and you can not tell me you know terms of the contract, what it includes or doesn't.

4. With all the millions of ways available to steal billions and get away with it, is awarding a 78 million naira website contract and disclosing it on a public website for everybody to see the best and smartest way to steal..?

This is nothing but a pointless hysteria over nothing..

What happens when tanoids are trying by all means to lift the hook of Saraki head. Using Fashola n Ameachi to distract efcc n d media

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.

You've spoken well.

While Fashola is someone I hold in esteem (comparatively), I think he sure has a lot of explaining to do on this. Of course, it's a possibility to spend that much (we've spent a few millions on a couple of sites we own too), but we need details like you rightly mentioned.

Personally, I would pefer those attacking you for your comment to point us in the right direction if they have such details.

For example, there were some allegations about cost of building some schools in Lagos by Fash, which I rightly screamed: fraud!

Sabrwahaqqo:
My dear Bgino, Before we penalize, we need 'fair-hearing'. This 78 milli ish will continue to be ordinary noise till proved otherwise.
Fashola I suppose will not be soo stvpid ( forgive the gravity of that word) to allow this huge expense on a 'mere' website soo apparent if no concrete reason don't back it- My opinion
But like I've said we need fair hearing before crucifixion.

ThisMeansWAR:
he is actually right, software engineering and database are not beans.. take mtn website and data base as examples. do you know how much they pay their engineers to keep those things functioning every month?
nairaland as a simple web forum alone, do you know how much and man power that keeps the site going? you think it's just Seun that is still doing all the work like some shitty blogsite or WordPress? think again.

Sabrwahaqqo:
Yasss!

mekaboy:
My friend shut ur trap and stop talking rubbish. Do u think there r no developers here?

Which website in Nigeria cost 15m to develop talkless of 78m?

socialmediaman:
Custom made ERP websites could cost as much as $3 million dollars or more. They are deployed in hospitals, schools and universities, government, oil companies, banks, multinationals, construction etc. A major Bank in Nigeria once paid N4 billion Naira to develop their website which runs an ERP software on it

Jman06:
you are a hypocrite for calling for fair hearing now that fashOLE is involved. Why didn't you call for fair hearing when Odua was being accused? Or when so many unfounded allegations were being leveled against GEJ's administration?

Blaody tribal bigot!

laudate:
That bank was daft, with a capital D! Oracle, SAP, Microsoft etc, all sell software applications that can do these things. Worst case, ask them to customise a few areas for you, if you want to integrate it to your website. It would cost you a little extra, but it can be done. Get enterprise licenses for all users. If you go to India, you can get software developers that will build these things for you at a far more reasonable cost, than what you have quoted here!

ERP solutions are one dime-a-dozen these days,and you want me to believe a bank paid 4 billion for their own? Haba! There is more to this story than you are telling!

mekadinho:
I keep saying it, u guys represent hypocrisy, lies and propaganda, u guys hv 2faces, always ready to cover ur stinking mouth why shouting dat anoda personz mouth is oozing. Would u hv written ds nonsense n trash has it been d subject of d story is a PDP member? U guys disgust me.

owobokiri post=367

socialmediaman:
That was around 2005 or so, open source ERP solutions were still at infant stages at best, you needed to completely customize and deploy. Still, ERPs cost money for customization, depending on the application, talk about server and network infrastructure etc

25273:


This is the problem with you clannish people. How can you try to juggle facts so brazenly on this issue just to defend your tin god? Did you give Princess Oduah the "benefit of doubt"? Did you "give the benefit of doubt" to Jonathan?? Why is it so hard for you guys to condemn your own?? From the Lekki road contract, through the monorail to this, has fashola left anybody in doubt as to his corrupt penchant to loot Lagos with his oga tinubu? This is exactly how some of you were bussy abusing some Deltans for protesting in favour of ibori. You do this while defending Tinubu. Somehow, it managed to escape your knowledge that your god tinubu is far corrupt than one thief named ibori. . Tribal mutants.

Read bro. It's a website upgrade! Check page 2 of the attached document. The docs were published by Lagos state public procurement agency
