...Even in Fayemi's 'worst', He did better than Fashola as far as this Screening is concerned.

@ Op the Disgraced and discredited ignorant can't read and comprehend protection seeker.

Please when you are done with your latest idiocy and foolery, show us where Fashola or the commissioner signed any checks and last time the world checked, signing checks and the rubbish you posted are 2 different things..


Many of the nuisance wailers on NL post better half baked than you so you are a lousy and sub par wailer...

Must you make use of senile words? - Senile words? You seemingly want to engage in a discourse way beyond your intellectual capacity....




You are the one lacking understanding,cos the constitution spelt out the roles to be performed by every stakeholder as the op rightly quoted. Interesting. Bros what the constitution spelt out is obvious, what is ridiculous is the jaundiced interpretation. Barcanista is playing mind games, but you're simply gullible



No one said due process wasn't followed,what the op tried pointing out is the moral decadence in awarding a contract to develop a website for 78million naira.I knew your intellect is limited. The OP rebutal is on the alledged incorrecteness in Fashola's defense that there's an INSTITUTIONAL PROCESS followed. The OP in this case is not arguing the morals. He on premised his argument on the constitutional provision which he claimed Fashola interpreted wrongly. Even if I will oblige you an argument on that premise, as some as said, the provisions and instituted process can only be addressed on legality terms and not your moral cry. Was there an instituted process? was it followed? was it breached? I expected that someone would have gotten the terms of the contract by now, and give a breakdown analysis of the details of the contract. It could be that it was indeed a fraudulent contract. But let us demonstrate factually and intelligently that it is and not this watery arguments.



Such issues are brought before the concerned commissioner which he (fashola)appointed,and I believe his commissioners brief him on happenings in their various ministries. Bros, in structured organisations, tenders board is a semi-autonomous entity and the commissioner CANNOTinterfere with their works till they submit their final recommendations to it. The commissioner CANNOT even amend their recommendation. If he has any exception, he sends it back to them for further clarification. The tenders board is also an audit-able entity. The commissioner is also not into price verification. There is an organ of the tenders board that has the responsibility. So that the commissioner briefs Fashola on is relative. The important thing is that whatever will get to Fashola from the commissioner, would have gone through scrutiny......





You are just speaking english,a competent commissioner who fashola appointed should know that there is no where in the world where a website costs 78million naira,and so even kick against such an outrageous cost inorder to save money for his ministry,unless ofcourse he has ulterior motives.At this point, I'll say, stop being childish. I'm not Fashola or holding brief for him, but when we bring a technical argument, let's make sure it's sound. The contract details is not yet public and till then I hold my final comment. If and when the details is made public and Fashola is guilty, I will humbly submit.....




Can't u see you are demented,its you who now reasons in reverse gear,what is the purpose of appointing commissioners then if not for advisory purposes since the governor can't be everything. You don't expect fashola to do market survey,thus his reasons for having commissioners who give him the best possible advice,whether he likes it or not, he appointed his team by himself, he appointed people he felt shared common goals with him,maybe budget inflation is a common goal they share too *just saying*You're still a toddler in common sense.



The accountants act based on interventions by politicians,in this case the commissioner who can be said to be an extension of the governor.This is new. Accountants act based on intervention by politicians? I would rather you assert, who sign cheques? accountants?

aresa:
Besides, the vendor asserted that the contract demanded multiple websites including the yearly Lagos count down website, uploading and maintaining thousands of videos and photos on multiple media platforms and maintenance is lifetime maintenance.

The noisemakers should just go and tell us or quantify financially what they charge per man hour to do the same job for forever... This really sounds like a very good deal to me...

TIMEISWISDOM:
I watched in awe as Nigerians especially the educated youths were celebrating the ignorance of the senators and irresponsibility of Fashola.

I have always said it that Nigerians greatest problem remains poor educational system that churns out half baked graduates who can barely make rational decisions.
No wonder the ruling class will always tell us to our face that we are not yet ready to take over leadership.
Once he is our tribesmen, or on the good side of the majority in our immediate environment, we swallow whatever the said person offers hook, line and sinker without any thought.

The coming generation of Nigerians leaders could be far worse than the present!

Who approves any contract if not him..

Thou he is better than Lie Mohammed.

Fashola got an overwhelming Yee from the senators compared to Lie lie mohammed who got 40% 'Nee' but was approved.

menumchi:
Hehehehehehehehe! I laugh in pidgin.

This conversation is really interesting. It goes a long way to say that the Nigerian Youths aren't dumb as alleged by the 'elders' and I'v learnt a lot.

Anyways, I think the OP made some points and those who replied have made arguments worthy of note.
Suffice me to make certain deductions from the foregoing narrative:

1) Fashola wasn't under any oath whatsoever or legal cross-examination. It was more or less an interview session for a Ministerial portfolio so he has the right to self-defence and to counter questions intelligently (as most of us will, if put in that condition) using any mechanism at his disposal, as would any other nominee.
......For instance, d outrageous amount spent on website design was thrown @ him (Fashola) and he technically defended himself, whether or not he was right or wrong was left for the Senators to decode. #pls tell me who wouldn't do dat when in dat condition.
.........The issue of the amount is sometimes a function of the contractor that executed d design and dat largely depends on the kind of website the State actually wanted (leme leave dat for the I.T gurus). More so, price range also differs cos what Mr. A will 'charge' to design a website will b different from the price of Mr. B since there isn't any fixed price to website design and dat goes for all other technical and expert jobs. #Bt trust me, dat amount was way outta line#...........
....Talking abt d issue of who signed cheque or not, the Chief Admin of a State can't categorically say he is unaware of what went out of d State coffers, or who signed a certain amount to be released and for what purpose. Cos b4 even d entire process is concluded, he (d Chief Admin) must give his express approval. And so to me, his claims on 'institutional process' is neither here nor there. Cos if dat should b be anything to go by, it simply indicates he isn't meticulous and his admin prowess is questionable.

2) It is left for the interviewers to ask him (using Fashola's interview as a case study) relevant and pertinent questions with regards to his antecedents as a Governor, Leader, Administrator and perhaps as a SAN. And hence they failed to do that, that is to the advantage of the nominee, bearing in mind that he needs d job else he won't be there. Cos I know u don't expect the nominee to remind the interviewers of questions they probably should ask him/her. Nobody goes to an interview room/hall and after d session, starts reminding d interviewers that.....oh! U forgot to ask me dis and dat.

3) And I think we should be more constructive in our criticism with respect to the OP's narrative and let go of issues bothering on political party sentiment, tribal inclinations and character/personality assasination cos we are one Nigeria and whether we like it or not, we are all inteconnected in one way or the other. So to an extent whatever affects A will have an impact on B as well.

4) Finally, I would say that our 'interviewers', the senators of the Federal Republic should bear in mind that they are representing the entire Nation and so questions that bothers on Nominees' skill set, admin and leadership prowess, competence, versatility on the issues affecting the Nigerian State and pragmatic approach to combating these issues rather than allowing themselves to be bamboozled by intelligent speeches and grammar renditions and applauding same to the utter chagrin, disappointment and disillusionment of the populace.

#Fashola or any other nominee isn't the problem of Nigeria.
#Not a fan of Fashola or any other nominee. The Senate should try and do a good job for us.
#Lets all hope for d best as we keep evolving democratically.
#God bless Nigeria and NL.

Does it have to end in insults and abuses when someone shares a contrary opinion with you? Why not just show why you don't agree with him and cut out the insults!

You re not the only one, the average Nigerian is that way: just pass by a newspaper stand and see people insult themselves in the name of argument.
