Chief Orji Kalu, the immediate past governor of Abia state and Chairman of Slok Group of Companies has purchased a brand new Gulfstream G650 jet worth $72 million (N11.5 billion).

The jet, according to bayoadeyinka blog, landed Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Lagos, in the early hours of Thursday 18 September from New York.


“It is arguably the fastest civilian jet in the world, has room for a basketball team, 8,000-statute-mile range and some of the most sophisticated avionics rivaling nearly anything in the sky, and it’s also perfect for doing business on a global scale.

Gulfstream described the aircraft as ultra-high-speed, ultra-long-range business jet and the gold standard in business aviation. Former governor of Borno state, Ali Modu Sheriff was first to acquire the jet in Nigeria,” writes the blogger.

Incredible news

The rich is getting richer while the poor is getting poorer... Oh Lord have mercy upon my family

Congrats to the man as he's now the second Nigerian to own it. SLOK group is still in money apparently.

Ochendo 1 will follow suit when he will leave office of governor of Abia State.

The blackman and specifically Africans are in serious trouble.

For someone who has no meaningful achievement other than being the ex governor of a broke state whose people are forever running away to seek refuge somewhere else.

Pity! Just who are these people seeking to impress with all these primitive acquisitions when our country is in so much poverty and strife?

Nigerians and their showmanship Why not buy the cheaper one? Is not the same flying it will be doing?

Please start thinking like a rich man. You will be suprised to know that maintaining these aircrafts doesnt cost as much as we may have imagined. These guyz re smart and smhw they have been able to design a method whereby the aircrafts also generate income. They have the means to buy but it is not their responsibilty to maintain- there is a 'market' to maintain it,theirs is just to own it.

Orji Uzor Kalu was arguably the richest of the governors during his time before assumption of office.
