I can see it is a Toyota and not Innoson.

Obiano also hates his people?

Pebcak:
Don't mind the idiot called StOla, he's delusional for the past few years Osun state has the worst waec results in the whole of Nigeria so why waste N50billiion on opon imo and claim you are saving N8billion they are not even spending

i have been to schools in ife and modakeke while in OAU, same goes for schools in Ede and Oshogbo and StOla is an big scumbag

What has the post you quoted got to do with the debate about the cost of the project that the OP falsely posted?

What has it got to do with me making you look like a fool, just because you lied that you read the whole of the 1st page of the thread but somehow missed the crux of the debate?

Next time, never rush to make comments.

yellowsun:
My simple question is how far has the Opon imo fared 3years after implementation? from my picture you can see the internet facility that accompanied Peter obi's computer still in active service. I am more interested in sustainable policies!

Is Opon Imo still sustainable in osun today or not?

You asked much more. You also made allusions to the position of Osun schools as opposed to Anambra schools.You went ahead to provide a link to buttress what you believe was a superior academic facility by the Anambra state government.

Now see link below and feed your eyes to what Aregbesola is also doing in Osun state

www.nairaland.com/2749096/aregbesola-set-commission-ejigbo-high

It is easy for anyone to think his own farm is the biggest, when you haven't any idea what else exist in the wild.

As for Opon Imo, I don't get your argument. Are you saying that an initiative that saved N8.6B relative to the alternative, is not sustainable?
Are you implying that the project was a waste while adjudged to have saved N8.6B?

Why should a cheaper initiative not be sustainable? That question should not even come up at all.

As long as Osun state wants to continue saving money, that cheaper alternative will forever be sustainable.

Except of course, the contractor lobby to supply books and other analogue teaching paraphernalia is greater than the common sense to provide a cheaper and advanced alternative.

yellowsun:
Oga can you post the positive effect this Opon Imo has bestowed on the students 3years after its implementation!

As for Peter Obi's you know the position of Anambra state schools compared to Osun today.
Checkout this thread for confirmation
Also take note of the solar panels and internet facility you will find in the 3rd pics

I am not a media representative for either state's government.

I believe useful information should be found on the state's website and from people who are resident in either state.

I have not heard that Osun state schools are suffering unchecked dilapidation. Instead, the news coming from Osun has been about the government commissioning great structures and promising to do more. I believe the bulk of the positive news that has emanated from Osun state since Aregbesola's tenure has been about the investments made in education. For this singular reason, I expect Osun to compete favourably with any other state in Nigeria.

While the pictures in the link you have posted look good, you sure haven't seen the pictures of the schools Aregbesola commissioned.


The bone of contention here is about the OP falsely propagating information about the cost of the Opon Imo project and comparing this false cost to the cost of laptops bought by Anambra state.

A storm in a tea cup.

Pebcak:
May be you are the bigger the fool here going by what the op posted and if you have a link of how much was spent show me and the fact that you are a bigger fool saying you can't believe whats online shows the extent of your stupidity first the fact that UNICEF participated in the project doesnt mean the project was not inflated how much is the budget allocated to education for them to claim they are saving N8.6B show me history of them spending that and show me a proof the project is at no cost to the government.

its ironical you claim and i quote "Do you believe every assertion made by any random anonymous Internet ID?" and you foolish self will tell me read the first page to the end because a different random person said otherwise you need to get yourself checked bro

Dude, why do you insist on making a fool of yourself this early in the year?

You lied that you read the whole of the 1st page before making your comment, I urged you to re-read it, yet you are still wallowing in idiocy.
You so much remind me of the NSCDC guy who embarrassed himself on Channels TV, instead of just admitting that he did not know his agency's website.

I raised the issue of credible news source. With all the sources provided to shame the OP in the series of posts that ended the 1st page, you still ask me for a credible source? Are you mentally handicapped or what?

You asked for the cost?

http://pmnewsnigeria.com/2013/06/19/opon-imo-inspirational-message-from-state-of-osun/

You need proof that it saved N8.6B by eliminating the alternative?

http://www.channelstv.com/home/2013/06/03/opon-imo-will-save-osun-n8-4-billion-of-textbook-procurement-costs/

That you do not know the economic concept of opportunity cost, easily explains why you need to go back to secondary school, so you can be gifted with the Opon Imo to read it up cheaper than a teacher and text book would have afforded.
This singular action of yours would have saved you some funds, but I ask, where is your budget for the alternative forgone?

Both links have been provided to you by a 1minute view of just the 1st page of this thread. Even the first link has an excerpt on the same 1st page.
https://www.nairaland.com/1516418/opon-imo-aregbesola-vs-laptop#19521074

It is either you go see an eye doctor, or you need special education for the mentally handicapped.

Some mothers do have 'em.

Bigprozzie:
Ill informed, mostly asinine sub analysis by an attention seeker


@ Topic

No decent Nigerian cares if any set of people are disproportionately affected.

1. The customs must be sanitized, Nigeria loses billions of dollars because of the corruption in the body. Importation of goods should not be the mainstay of the economy. Those brilliant igbos should start manufacturing the products they are currently importing

2. Ambode ordered the destruction of the shop at Oshodi and that is the right decision. The market is an eyesore and is used by hoodlums and criminals to victimise Lagosians. Besides, the LASG gave the traders enough notice to vacate the market.

The OP is just playing the devils advocate and he impresses no one.

StOla

I reckon you have yourself a brother in the profession of guessing.

Pebcak:
thats what i did before posting my comment and if i am missing anything I will be glad if you can point it out, inflating that shitty tab that costs #13,000 to #2.4 million can never be justifiable and to let you know no hasty assumption here i checked online to see whats all loaded in the tab and that still wont make up for the over #2.3million per tab

cost of building apps on android platform is about $500 - $5000 convert that @ #260 or lets go to high end apps like twitter with landing cost of about $15000 thats still about #3.9 million for the whole project not per tab so "EGBON StOla" how will you justify the excess spent on this project

the only point you can make is the project is not worth that much and thats not in this thread.

so STFU and reason before you type your hasty post.

Many posters then in 2013 on this thread proved themselves to be fools, now years later, you just proved that the world will never lack fools.

It is good you find the cost ridiculous and you even made the effort to look up some features of the tablet, but did you also look up the cost of the project from any reliable source?
Do you see any source referenced by the OP? Do you believe every assertion made by any random anonymous Internet ID?

The Opon Imo project saved the Osun State government N8.6B, not cost.

Apparently, someone suffering from conjunctivitis saw the report and thought that he saw cost instead of saved. He decided to raise some unnecessary dust, by comparing it to another state's project, only to end up disgracing himself and quietly disappeared from the discussion.

Mind you, the Opon Imo was a UNICEF supported project, which was commissioned with much fanfare and participation by same UNICEF.

Do you think they do not know what N8.6B is, to have identified with such waste if it was so?

I repeat, take your time and read till the end of the 1st page. I will be waiting for your response.

Pebcak:
Just seeing this and this is really an eyesore its a big shame
both are bloody thieves

OPON IMO @ #8.6 billion for 3600
lets break the price down that brings the unit cost to #2.4million naira each for the tab

went online to check the features of this OPN IMO @ http://osun.gov.ng/education/opon-imo/device/
and its pretty much an android 4.0 tab with 512GB of RAM and some other apps loaded on it

the latest ipad pro http://www.apple.com/shop/buy-ipad/ipad-pro/32gb-silver-wifi is $700 lets convert @ $1 = #260 the tab ends up @ #208,000 most apps on it are free dictonary, bible.... lets say they paid for 5 apps and lets include logistics (shipping and handling) that will not amount to over two million mind you the shitty tab they are using runs at about $50 (#13,000)

same goes for the laptop and printers

this is just ridiculous and insane

Read the whole of the 1st page, when you realise your hasty assumptions due to the fact that you believe every rubbish typed on the Internet, come back here and type your apology.

2years past, yet hasty conclusions still prevalent.

Some things never change.

teadrake:
And our award for the best pseudo financial institution whose ATM machine neither discriminate against unregistered customers nor Reject expired Naira/dollar MasterCard goes to DASUKI Bank limited. Congratulations

With Dasuki bank, every customer is a winner.

I love Buhari.

A part of him we thought was lost in the military uniform has resurfaced.

I have always wanted a leader who would not just fight corruption, but will fight it with fury.

"Baba go slow" has now turned to cries of "Baba slow down".

I have stolen nothing so I fear nothing.

If it is true, then it is time to ask GEJ what that special assignment was that he tasked Metuh.

They don't want him to spill the beans.

I certainly have no sympathy for such people. Certainly the story is trash.

Why do I have the feeling that whoever interviewed Sagay in this report also did not physically meet him?

I hope our rookie journalists and bloggers have learnt from the foolish dude who lost his job for such bogus interviews.

Descartes:
Forging one's signature is a crime punishable by law. Sowore should get ready for invite from DSS or EFCC for fraud.

Did you bother to read the report at all?

Didn't it state that Sahara Reporters detected the forgery and retracted the document from their own site?

Where is the fraud on the part of Sahara Reporters?

Candyrain:
Reason, what reason? Someone said this policy was taken to encourage local production. If that's the case don't you think certain things should have been put in place before implementing this policy?

Bubu earmarked N3.6billion to purchase foreign cars, how does this encourage local production when you have the likes of Innoson motors? I guess it's because he's an Igbo man.

You guys should be truthful irrespective of the Igbo hatred.

Nigerians have always preferred foreign commodities over local ones.
Even government officials and political office holders prefer foreign healthcare to the local healthcare they provided for the nation. Their children attend foreign schools instead of Nigerian schools.

That political office holders love to buy choice luxury vehicles at exorbitant prices is not new, but now that an Igbo man assembles vehicles locally, those who retain a preference for such foreign vehicles do so because they hate Igbos?

You should be truthful and stop guessing like a moro.n. Must every man's decision in Nigeria be weighted against if it is acceptable to the Igbos? Why the unnecessary feeling of self importance that has now taken a pathological dimension?

I guess Jude Okoye who bought a new luxury Benz car also hates his fellow Igbo kin who assembles his own vehicle locally?

How many vehicles from Innoson has the stae government of the 5 SE states bought so far? Do they hate local production too because the vendor is Igbo?

It is time you cure yourself of the victim and persecution complex that ails you. You shall have no tribal sympathies from a fellow victim of the Nigerian situation.

[s][/s]

You people did worse to gej admin, you may have short memory, I don't.

Atleast even you now know that Fortunato is a criminal even known in the mafia circles of Italy.

My memory serves me right, and I am now justified with all the revelations being unearthed. Even people who have not been implicated are already singing songs to implicate themselves before being asked to.

You on the other hand remain a bitter troubled soul who is not courageous enough to admit that Buhari is a patriot.

You are irritated whenever you hear news about government arresting and prosecuting people for corruption. You would prefer the corrupt benevolence of Jonathan over the staunch uprightness and patriotism of Buhari.

But there's nothing you can do about it, so your misery lingers on.

omenka:
Chai!!! I was wrong after all. Sincere apologies Bevista.

Indeed you were wrong.

Buhari has already posed a question to this set of anarchist.

He asked if they want him to vacate his sit for them.

They are the ones who voted for Don Fortunato to continue in office and be signing away our funds to their principals.

Those who are culpable are scared of arrest, while those who have lost their benefactors are now hungry, so it is fait accompli that they must all wail.

melvinjames:
Expect APC monkeys to gloss over the fact this man is a friend of Dasuki hence the probe. If Bubu wants to show how non partisan he is let him probe Tinubu, Amaechi or Fashola.

If Buhari wants to show his seriousness, let him arrest Jonathan who as "Don Fortunato" reigned as the head of the corruption cabal.

I hope you will give applause then?

melvinjames:
Who is fooling who? Only zombies would believe Buhari would probe APC members.
Buhari rewarded Mr Corruption (Amaechi) with ministerial position instead of probing him. Ambode told us how Fashola bled Lagos dry yet he got a portfolio, this story is meant for APC monkeys.

Many have already described enemies of Nigeria like you.

You're never pleased that the government is fighting corruption.

He does A, you would say Buhari did not do B. Then he does B, then you would say he is only deceiving.

He spends money on flights, you say he is wasting money, he reduces money spent on independence celebration, yet you will also take offence.

He gives the victorious golden eaglets just N20k per player, you complain that it is too small.

What exactly do you children of anarchy want?


Thankfully, Buhari is a one way traffic. His resolve to tackle corruption remains unshaken.

Candyrain:
Can you be truthful for one?

Which people are the highest numbers of importers? Be truthful for once.

Should the majority stakeholders in the importation business keep quiet in the face of harsh policies affecting business because of the minority in their midst, huh?

I can make a guess that the Igbos make up about 80% of importers, should they keep quiet because of 20% others are also being affected? Guy make you dey use your head.

It has always been the habit of Igbos to pull statistics out of their ass, so I doubt if that surprises anyone these days.

If Igbos constitute 80% of importers and other tribes are to take their own share of what Igbo false statisticians have left as remainder for them, then I reckon that the big industries who do the bulk of importation should make do with just 0.01% of importation?

Concerning the complaints being made by these importers, I welcome it if made from purely economic perpectives, but to inject the notion that the policy was designed and implemented just so that Igbos should cry is what I would not condone.

Nigeria has economic challenges, and the government of the day would do what it must to surmount those challenges it inherited without regard to tribal sympathies.

The government should not always have to stop to ponder on whether the ever crying Igbos would like a policy or not. Policy implementation always have positive and negative consequences, Igbos should learn to stop "tribalising" the demerits.

arresa:
The sun rises and sets only on their ass.

An Ogoni friend once told me that IGBO is I Go Before Others.

Very self centred in nature.

As long as one Igbo man is affected by a policy, it is wrong and done to persecute them. If no Igbo is affected, then a policy is great regardless of who else feels the heat.

SA men have an absurd sense of entitlement.

ShadowCabinetNG:
These Nigerian citizens quoted above who have expressed statements of fear are criminal elements too?

Go easy on the insult

Criminals have family members who have benefited from their thievery.

I hear police sirens blaring outside my house, I look out the window to see who the bell tolls for.
A criminal like Metuh hears police siren blaring 5 streets away, he quickly addresses a press conference stating unbidden, all sorts of "special assignments" a criminal president tasked him with.


I have no skeleton in my cupboard, I have nothing to fear with Buhari's anti-corruption crusade. If given the opportunity, I will bear the lance that will strike off the heads of the guilty.

ShadowCabinetNG:
This is what we don't want.

Why should people live in fear?
The comments on this thread tell a lot.

We never saw such in the last admin.
People were free.

We reject Gestapoism.

In a sane society, criminal elements must always live in fear.

Criminal minds must never be free to loot and destroy their country.

The last administration was a criminal's paradise.

We rejected a clueless leadership that had no will to sanitise the nation. Every criminal was happy and at rest with the last regime, but now they can't sleep well anymore.

Shadow cabinet should be ashamed of the party it represents.

Who knows if they also got a share of our arms money.


I heard PDP youths recently gave Dokpesi an award for helping to embezzle government funds. What a malaise to the nation they are, but Buhari has got their medicine.

Persecution complex!

If 8 people are affected by a government policy and just 1 of them is Igbo, then it is a deliberate agenda to persecute the Igbos.

The development of Lagos should have no recourse to tribal sympathies.

As long as no law was flouted in executing the demolition, I am in full support.

But my greater support goes to any effort that prevents the spring-up of slums, shanties and ghetto markets all over.
The Local Governments should be duly orientated in this regard. They play the greatest role in the degradation of Lagos, with their penchant for all manner of illegal structures presented as markets.

Buhari's battle with corruption was destiny delayed, not denied.

As for IBB who truncated that patriotic agenda, his stupendous wealth only reveals that the true motives for his coup was to get rid of the obstacle to his lust for filthy lucre.

It is time to fix "Mr Fix it" a befitting tiny cell in jail.

A man laid on the ground in the throes of death but was mistaken for being under the influence of the holy spirit, so he was left on his own for 20mins by those who should care.

It took 20mins for common sense to prevail over the bondage of religious mental retardation.

Why must religion induce idiocy to an otherwise free, sound, inquisitive and brilliant mind?

justice2016:
This is the original map of Africa in 1827 before the arrival of Europeans who came in and raped Africa into this mess we found Africa and suffice to say that Biafra was conspicuous in this map in the current position of SE/SS .

Do you have any answer to the question posed below?

nedu2000:
Who made this map,written in english,is it not the same europeans?

Also, the Portuguese who in the 16th century had visited the Itshekiris and even had an Itshekiri prince schooled in their university in Portugal, Are they not also European?

The Portuguese expedition that named Eko as Lagos in the 15th century, were they not European?


Do you know the history of Africa-European relations at all?
