When you read an intelligent person's comment, you will know. Most people on nairaland don't understand the cost implication of keeping an old aircraft. Poor men spend more on mechanical items than rich men, why? Because a poor man will buy a bicycle for N10,000 and use it for 5yrs and spend N25,000 on maintenance of the old wrecked bicycle, instead of using it for say 2 years to trade it in for a new one in order to cut maintenance cost.

But a rich man will buy same bicycle for N10,000 and use it for 2 years and trades it in b4 it starts developing unpredictable mechanical faults that will cost much to maintain, and then acquire a new bicycle for N12,000 and spend say N5,000 only on maintaining the old one b4 he traded it in.

If do the arithmetic, the rich man spent: N10,000 + N5,000 + N12,000 = N27,000 to own a clean bicycle for 2 years, whereas a poor man thinking he is prudent and wise in spending, spends: N10,000 + N25,000 = N35,000 to own a wrecked bicycle for 5years.

Dear nigerian youths, let's stop all these sentimental cursing and abuse of our own national president pls. OBJ was so horrible a president but Nigerians didn't curse and abuse his office like Goodluck, pls why all these hate for this man?

Goodluck is doing his best but our country has been totally destroyed by past leaders and won't take 6 years or even 10yrs to repair pls.

Let's reason well and stop allowing these wicked politicians claiming they are the new change to incite us against one another while they party and merry with their children somewhere.

Let's criticise Goodluck or any other Nigeria's president with respect and wisdom pls for the good our nation.

Don't kill your fellow citizens; whether Hausa, Ijaw, Igbo, Yoruba, Tiv, Bini, etc come next year for anyone.

If Goodluck wins, fine for him, if Buhari wins, fine for him. Let's warn our friends and mates ahead pls. Violence will only kill us the youths while the politicians enjoy more!

Let's be wise. Thanks

Thanks a lot for sharing your open letter.
However as per my post that you quoted, it will be MORE effective if you address it to the "opposition" SINAtors and representaTHIEVES, particularly those for your constituency so they can at least SCORE huge political points and at most put enough pressure to ensure the budget for the acquisition is not approved by their colleagues in the NASS.

This is how to make our democracy work better for us, don't you think

akinsadeez:



But bro, did you read the part where it is stated that the trade in will still involve Nigeria paying 400 million naira as deposit. That is almost half a billion being paid as deposit meaning there will still be further payments ( to an amount we cant determine). What sense does it make to pay that much to upgrade a plane in a presidential fleet that already has eleven planes and is one of the most luxurious in the world.

nwaanambra1:


even firefire cant defend this!?

Its no easy job being a GEJite!


GMB 2015 by God's grace!

Demdem:


Use ur brain and read up.
Will the trade in cost the government additional hundreds of millions as deposit to manufacturer?
It's right inside the article.

I did use my brain and read up, being abusive with your words doesn't prove your knowledge. I have replied as to my earlier response, its just above, read it up.

From this article, despite frantic efforts by SH to sound alarmist, it is still very clear that no new jet is being purchased, rather a trade in is being done for one of the available jets. For those who know, in such procurements, manufacturer trade in could be aimed at achieving sustained warranty support, equipment and spare parts availability and to save money in the long run. It is often more expensive to maintain an older model of a product than to trade it in for a new one with better features. That is part of why firms change even official cars after 3 years most times.

Is the size of the Nigeriam Government large, yes! Is this particular procurement a wastage, we do not have enough information to say yet. During budget defence, the leader of Presidential Airfleet will be on ground to present his reasons and APC NASS members will have their chance to engage in logic and not all this emotional outburst by farmiliar handles on NL.

ibnjarir93:
Most of these jets are going to be sold when Buhari becomes president next year. Believe me!

Coolguy89:
he is just a thief,I really hate dis man wit passion

Firefire:



If the government cannot show signs of cost savings at this critical economic downturn, it is a pity.


Can we start scrutinising all State Government budget as well, ?

Honestly, our leaders are extremely WICKED!

What kind of extravagant lifestyle is this

Let me assume it is just a budget and not planned to be actualize

Demdem:


I wasn't abusive instead I challenged u to annex ur God given talent which u did after my challenge.
After reading ur response, it's obvious u still see nothing wrong with the trade in despite being in austerity times.
All I can say to u is shame.

That is the stark difference between

- those who support Jonathan based on his better performance record compared to his predecessors and the 36 state governors
and
- those who support General Muhammadu Buhari.

While Jonathan's supporters are free to exercise their freedom in criticizing him as deemed necessary, those supporting the old soldier pensioner apparently do NOT have such liberty.
Na one way traffic be dem case like zombie, joro jara joro!
QED!!!

Let me try to break this down to you and others who may be getting unnecessarily excited about this TRADE-IN.

a) Assuming you are going to spend N600 million on repairs and maintenance of the current jet over the next 4 years.

b) Assuming you have the option doing a TRADE-IN now for N400 million and reduced repairs & maintenance on the brand new, more fuel efficient jet of say N80 million over the next 4 years.

Will it not make better financial management sense for the lean AUSTERE times to take option (b)

I have simply made assumptions to simplify the issues that the decision makers could have taken into consideration.
It is over to our NASS representatives and senators to verify those details BEFORE approving this aspect of the budget.
