PDPGuy:
For your first question, the constitution allows the states and FG to spend, without an appropriation law, for up to 6 months.
Thank you.

Please post reference in the constitution and required provisions for this.

Politics › Re: States With Signed 2018 Budgets In Nigeria (Infographic) by three:
Great infographic!

What we need now is;

1. An explanation by the States that haven't signed their budget into Law what legal financial appropriation they are using to run those States (for those actually running).

2. An explanation by the States yet to make the budget available online why this hasn't been done.


3. MOST IMPORTANT: Access to actual records for expenditure via a transparent Public Procurement Agency. How has the budget been disbursed, to whom and why (did these organisations fulfil basic procurement legal requirements).

THIS IS OUR MONEY AND OUR CHILDREN'S MONEY WE'RE TALKING ABOUT

Politics › Re: When Was Waste Management In Lagos Better? See Photo. by three:
Understand this...


1. APC/LASG is not interested the welfare of the average citizen

2. Lagos is a CASH COW!! Regardless of however this scam goes down. Some people will walk away with Billions

[color=#000000](imagine that you are given the opportunity to superintend over a fund worth Billions of Naira and you can spend any amount you want with the condition that you must create some new inititiative so that you can write a heading in a budget the details of which aren't shared with the citizens in whose name the funds are generated and drawn down)[/color]

3. VISIONSCAPE/CLI was a scam that began by working from the answer - How to become the sole collector of revenue from Waste Disposal!

[color=#000000](imagine collecting an average of N10,000 a year from N5 Million residences and businesses in Lagos State? N50BILLION A YEAR!)[/color]



VISIONSCAPE WAS NEVER ABOUT KEEPING LAGOS CLEAN! IT'S ABOUT A N50BILLION A YEAR SLUSH FUND!


FYI: For those who remember, Lagos was cleaner under Marwa, in fact there was a whole lot of development especially at the grass roots during Marwa's tenure and it is most ironic this is so, given that his was a military regime (unfortunately some so called democrats are worse than military despots)

Do you want to stretch this? His reasons automatically translate to personal opinions to "safe-land" your narrative? "His reasons" are not an indication of making assertive statements presumed to be facts?

Ok Lemme try this

The Pope is an impostor.....my reasons......A black man should have been elected and his ascension to the papacy..was through bribery
Nairaland is robust because it allows discourse.

Many come here to read comments - some for enlightenment, some for entertainment, some to educate others etc.

Anyone can make a supposition. It is left for them to prove that supposition or be ignored.

Your example above is interesting.

Some said there were black ancestors on the lineage of the house of Windsor, this sounded outlandish at first but references were made based on research. There is yet to be offered immutable proof but there exists some probability that a black royal existed.

The point is, hear people out, apply reason to the premise, if it falls short, draw the individuals attention to where it falls short, in turn offering verifiable references.

Let's all learn together.

This project is a PPP. How the rules play in competitive bidding is different. Since these guys are going to source for the funding and less from govt, then the valuation may not be so much the subject of scrutiny as the ability to source for the funding. Might I also add that these are one of the creative ways these our smart Lagos leaders of the Tinubu stock have been killing many birds with one stone and stay legit.
Mapet na wah for you oh! smiley

So you sabi d koko of d matter come dey form? grin

You are spot on as per PPP being abused in these parts and used as SPVs to circumvent established procurement laws in order to create opacity, non-competitiveness as well as siphon funds.

However, even the normal rules for PPP should yield a good return for everyone. Contractors have to make profit. The people need infrastructure (as established via a needs assessment) and the nation needs development. This must be within just parameters.

PPPs done right are not evil or opaque.

Bros,

Permit me to 'humbly" react to these your posers like these;

1. I believe the basic tenets (assumed) in public space discourse is for us to engage with candor and a sense of responsibility to how we present what should be knowledge. If the guy had come on the premise of asking to be educated in this regard, it would have been different. Why would you make emphatic statements and gaffes on something you do not know zilch about?

2. This is absolutely not intolerance to others' views. It is simply a call to a certain basic level of "discipline" in discourse or debates. The discipline is that you do not put out as facts statements that are false and expect not to be challenged; neither can you recourse to asking to be educated when you have made false assertion........."to thine own-self be true..............", what you don't know simply own up that you don't

3. No one knows everything...absolutely TRUE. no one is supposed to. We all contribute to knowledge so that we can as a collective know more. Following from this, you will then understand the danger of someone adding falsehood to knowledge.....

4. How will you know that you don't know? Simple. ACKNOWLEDGE IT when you don't know. Don't give a posture that you do when you don't

Cheers

He clearly stated that it was his reasons and not an empirical statement. He also stated 'mny have been embezzled' (sic) again no empirical statement there and clear indication of personal opinion.

Weren't you the same guy complaining that Ikeja terminal wasn't world class, now they brought you world class again you still say is a white elephant project undecided guy what is it that you want?
Appropriateness, Cost Benefit and Opportunity Cost

Add Transparency to that. (Do some research on public administration and public procurement - public is mentioned before these two words because the elected official or appointee is holding 'public trust')




If a man who has five children and earns 500k a month decides to send one child to American International School and the other four to Jakande school would that make sense?

Q1. Which Buses and what passengers are going to use the Ikeja Bus Terminal?
Q2. What is a Bus Terminal?
Q3. Is the Bus Terminal along an established transportation route?
Q4. Have you seen any World Class Bus Terminal where you first walk past the buses you are going to embark THEN enter the Ticketing Hall before exiting again to go back to where you started from?
Q5. How much did the Bus Terminal Cost?
Q6. Was the Lagos State Public Procurement Law followed?

Q1. Have you seen any Transport Interchange with Offices and shops built ab initio ABOVE it?
Q2. Who will rent the Offices and Shops and at What Cost?
Q3. If I can build 23 Bus Interchanges with the amount I'm using to build just one shouldn't I in the interest of the Public reconsider and evaluate Cost Benefit?

AtikuNetwork, I can't think of a better way to demarket one's principal. He is enmeshed in accusations of fraud particularly in the 1999-2007 privatisation process and the best thing you can do for him is make such a statement?

Bros,

You and @GavelSlam have just made my day with the sub on this "patently ignorant" guy. I laugh at times when some random "village rat" with access to cheap phones and data, post "emphatic-ignorance" about what they know absolutely nothings about. He talks about rail lines, but if he bothered to ask those living in Lagos or been to Lagos or looked at the diagram carefully, He would have discovered or they would have told him that Terminal 1 actually overlays an existing rail-line/proximal, as such the basement automatically replaces the old train station.
Intolerance to others' views or perceived ignorance is not a sign of intelligence.

It might be a sign of superiority BUT no one knows everything (FACT), HOW will you know that you do not know and who will then educate you on that which you do not know if you hold superiority over others?

You have a good point jor!

Lagos is projected to have 60 million inhabitants in the next 15-20 years
Rail is the most efficient form of mass transport

Lagos currently only operates ONE rail service with 4-6 coaches every 3 hours. Appalling is an understatement.
