If only you had sparred the 1minute to google hiw much some websites and web portals cost, you would not have embarrassed yourself so.

ivandragon:



I was wondering when you were going to show up to defend your preferred thieves...


I don't need to 'build' a website to know when an unreasonable amount has been spent.

go to the website, check out if the domain name is unique to it or not; navigate the site...

how many pages are there;

why are some links to agencies truncated after the first page?;


what is the content? is it just about uploading 'news'?


how interactive is the site?


when you are able to answer those questions, you can come back & chat from an enlightened perspective...

ivandragon:



stop dribbling at the mouth with confusion...


you are going round in aimless circles trying to defend what cannot be defended.

when was the NNPC contract presented to the FEC?


when did pmb as president or minister, append his signature to the said contracts?


look, you are free to indulge in your 'circle jerk' defence of your preferred looters.


those of us that want better transparency & accountability will, in our own little ways, continue to put the government on its toes...


you & your likes can continue to reap from the filth of unbridled corruption presently going on...

Illiterates should only speak on basic topics that can be argued at a beer parlour.

Spending $2m on a portal depending on what the complexities of it are and what level of integrated database is required, is not a child's play.

The ministry has itself revealed this information freely to the public, to prevent the likes of you from making a mockery of serious business initiatives as some scandal that has been exposed.

Its obvious you're one of those that pocketed this 700Million.....


Are you aware that the same ministry budgeted over 700Million for Website update last financial year?......

nuttyhnic:
700 million naira? My God! Have you seen what people are building in private companies in Lagos? Very advanced web and mobile applications + maintenance for below 3million.

GavelSlam:


Many people earn more than that figure.

Throwback:


Hahahahaha!

You are another one of them doubting Thomases.

A certain dude got a job with an oil major.

His pay package as a trainee to be further sent to France on training was over N30m/annum.

He is back in Nigeria working deep offshore with just HND, yet you are still doubting with B.Sc?

How much do you think NLNG pays its technicians who work with just HND?

Never limit yourself to your own habitat.

Industry averages

CIO Magazine conducts an annual State of the CIO survey and gathers data to compile an average spending budget across numerous companies. For 2013, it found that the average IT budget, as percent of revenue, is 5.2%. This is a slight increase from the 2012 average, which was 4.7%. Overall, businesses seem to spend between 4-6% of their revenue on IT, and this range is recommended by CIO Magazine.

Company size generally has a large effect on budget size, and should be taken into consideration when planning your fund allocation. Small and medium businesses surprisingly often outspend larger ones when it comes to their IT budget (SearchCIO.techtarget.com):

The average small company (less than $50 million in revenue) spends 6.9% of their revenue on IT
Mid-sized (between $50 million – $2 billion) spend 4.1%
Larger companies (over $2 billion) spend a relatively tiny 3.2%
As technology becomes a greater part of business operations, budgets have been steadily growing. The 2017 survey found that enterprise organizations project a 4.8% increase in 2017 IT budgets, and SMBs predict a slightly larger increase of 8% from 2016.

It’s important to note however that the companies that invest the most in IT aren’t necessarily the best performers. On average, the most successful small and medium companies are more frugal when it comes to IT spending (as long as they do it judiciously). Regardless of amount of spending, if investments aren’t made and used wisely, it will be reflected in that company’s returns and productivity.

You do realise the money wasnt for a 'contract' but rather was payment of NNPC's cash call to JV partners right?

You also do realise that the issue of breach of due process has been clarified with a confirmation that it didn't necessarily need to pass the desk of the board chairman?... You do realise the case has long been closed right?

So why exactly do you still dwell on a closed case when you should be focused on a more reasonable debate on the N700m portal?

I am done responding to you chaps on this matter.


I asked two pertinent questions, none of you have been able to answer them, so I leave you all to suit yourselves.


there are things going on in this administration that a lot of you close eyes to...

but, hey, its your choice, but when another administration spends $45b without passing through due process, I hope you would also defend it...

And is this not the result of that budget, or you are also stuck in the mud?

please read well before you comment...N1m/month job with just a Bsc...
I know many people earn more than that, but please do your findings and know if they got the job with just an ordinary Bsc, no higher degree(s), no certification(s)...

I like you comedians especially early friday morning like this. I enjoy your show bro.

Yes na.
All Poverty Congress, APC demons are annually budgeting for the same items even at inflated amounts.

And I insist people do get such jobs with just Bsc.

Knowledge Base differs.
Many people have no idea what they are studying, why they are actually studying it and what they intend to do with it when done.
The few that do, prepare for life post-graduation.

A number of first degree holders earn more than that even in our obodo Naija.

Another avenue for ICT illiterates to castigate what they do not know about.

So the equivalent of $2m was spent on an integrated portal? Should I head into the streets to protest that it should have been procured for N200k ?



Above is the only snag there. Are there enough competent people to manage such complex IT solutions or will extra funds be spent to procure the services of the likes of Accenture to manage it on their behalf?

greenek:


i wont doubt if you show proof..N30m/annum and thats 2.5m/month...wow, what would be the salary of the MD

Throwback:


Dude, N1m is nothing as salary per month in Nigeria. Many young guys and girls fresh from school earn that working with good firms that is largely oil and gas related but not limited to that sector only.

Maybe they think all those guys driving new cars and living in Lekki are yahoo boys and girls.

These are the people that blow a gasket when they hear that a website could cost $2m.

kernel505:



Your reasoning is below a primary school kid, a whooping sum of $2 million for a website site? You need your head checked.
