Former Lagos Gov. Fashola Spent $400,000 To Build A Personalised Website

By



News report that former governor of Lagos State, Babatunde Raji Fashola shelled N78.3million of Lagos tax-payers money on his personal website, has stirred a huge buzz on twitter.
In tweets and retweets, commentators have been expressing derision and disgust that the former governor could have approved such a questionable expenditure under his watch.

The consensus is that the cost was grossly exaggerated and over-inflated.
A WordPress website, like http://tundefashola. com/http: //tundefashola.com /should not cost more than N3million, according to expert opinions.
The story was broken by BudgIT, quoting a budget report on the website of the Lagos State Public Procurement Agency.
The contract was awarded in 2014 to “Info Access Plus Limited”. A Google search by TheNEWS did not turn anything out about the company. (SAHARA REPORTERS)

The Trouble With Advertisements Nowadays

By
The one thing we can't escape from nowadays is advertising. We see adverts in papers, magazines, shops and in huge bill-boards beside the road. The purpose is to persuade us to buy a that product. The trouble with it is that they don't appeal to our common sense. For cosmetics adverts, the maker is trying to say that any girl who uses the cream, will become as beautiful as the girl on it. Some also have photos of people working in schools thus justifying that the product is scientifically proved. Imagine!
