gurunlocker: Illiterate, you obviously did not understand what you just read. Jonathan bought faulty fighter jets for Boko Haram war – NAF The military reconfigured that plane to make it usable because crooked and corrupt jona with his cronies bought worthless planes that can not fight, can not carry bombs hence the reconfiguration. Look at the blue bomb holder under the wing. Our military men just put it there to carry bomb because what jona bomb doesn't have that and can not carry weapons, it was just a dud. Who buys war plan that has no bomb bay and can not carry bombs? Ole Jona and his looting gang. Can you drop bombs from a plan that can not carry bombs under the wing or anywhere? No .

“The NAF had earlier looked overseas for assistance without much success to get the aircraft reconfigured for combat roles. A number of vendors invited to Nigeria to assess the platforms had concluded that it would be difficult or almost impossible to undertake the project since the Original Equipment Manufacturer had long closed down the production line. who are these morons? 1 Like |

naijadeyhia: Quite honestly I don't think Jonathan gave a shit, they weren't killing his people, there were stories that made the rounds that certain people said let them be killing themselves. So long as it was limited to a certain region and the lives that were lost were those of poor Northerners who are regarded as little more than goats, nobody cared. That's the shame of the Nation called Nigeria as even even those of us in the south became numb to the daily killings. It became just another excuse to make money for some. |

arresa:why trying to talk smart you became really naive. I mean you are just unintelligent. You would be one of those who cried that the past administration didnt buy anything but now that he has claimed to having bought you have now being programmed to crucify him by all means. Here is what your ignorance reflects.......that in your small mind when a president signs money to buy aircraft the same president goes to the aircraft market by himself to buy the craft hence you say he Jonathan bought substandard. Your small mind did not reason that these same airforce chiefs doing inspection in the photo posted here where the so called experienced men who went overseas to by the aircrafts. In your small mind Jona did the buying. What is happening to you now is what it means to be zombidized |

No wonder he is angry at our judiciary for slowing prosecution down. How In Gods name can anyone let this happen under his watch... how?

Stupid lies One... the US has not and did not sell any weaponry to GEJ. Two...US doesn't use alpha jets. That's Damn too condescending please. Three... these alpha jets were some of the jets in the Nigerian Air force inventory that were decommissioned due to lack of maintenance in the past. Please stop these lies 2 Likes |

Lionsclaw: So we should just agree with you that the ineffectual buffoon bought obsolete planes that can not fight or carry bombs? A plane that can not fight or carry weapons is useless, so he did not buy anything, he stole our money and spent it on worthless piece of crap that we still have to spend money and manpower on to make it do what we want it to do whcich is carrying weapons to the battlefield to kill terrorist? Can what the useless buffoon carry weapons to sambisa? No. We just found out today that jona and his military men stole our weapons money and hid the money in their wives bank accounts while they saddled our brave men with worthless peice of crap... Keep quiet abeg.. |

arresa: Are you talking about this man, your former employer www.nairaland.com/attachments/2135824_image_jpeg9f360c5ab7736510df54c882e9dbf188 TTC in talks to sell old trains to Lagos. Are they safe enough? AUGUST 10, 2011 As Toronto trainspotters gleefully take maiden rides on the TTC's Rocket, commuters in Lagos, Nigeria may be about to get some new trains of their own. Our old ones. A TTC spokesperson has confirmed that the commission is negotiating with a private group to sell up to 260 used train cars to the West African megacity's new transit project. "I can confirm that the TTC is in discussion with a third party that wants to purchase trains for Lagos," said commission spokesperson Brad Ross. "Over a period of time, they will be taken out of service and then transported over to Nigeria." The cars being considered for sale are the TTC's old H-5 and H-6 models, which will be decommissioned as the TTC rolls out its new fleet of Rockets. Ross predicts the earliest they could be shipped to Nigeria is sometime in 2012. Traffic snarls are already a major economic problem in the Nigerian capital, a booming city that will reach an estimated population of 25 million by 2015. A new above-ground rail system designed to carry 1.5 million people a day has already broken ground, and Lagos Governor Babtunde Fashola has said it "will be the most multi-dimensional and most impactful" of the government's efforts to reduce traffic congestion. Fashola visited Toronto earlier this year to inspect the TTC trains. The Lagos deal would be the first of its kind for the TTC. Decommissioned cars are usually sold for scrap metal and can fetch up to $1,500 dollar each. While Ross declined to discuss specific figures, he says the sticker price for Lagos is "significantly more" than scrap prices, putting the potential profits to the TTC in the millions of dollars. It is not unusual for technology from western nations to end up in poorer countries. Marketplaces in Africa and Asia are flooded with North American clothes, computers, and even cars, but the purchase of larger technology like trains is rarer. The cars will have to be significantly refurbished to fit existing infrastructure in Lagos, and some Nigerian media reports have lamented that the government appears to have settled on "tokundo," or used, trains instead of brand new vehicles. Although half the cars are more than 30 years old, Ross is adamant they are perfectly safe and are only being decommissioned for capacity reasons. But he also admitted the TTC is not required to make sure the cars meet any safety standards before selling them. "Once sold, it's up to the new operator to ensure they are in good working order," he said. "They do need to be maintained much more frequently than the new trains, simply because of their age. At some point they will run out their useful life." Murtaza Haider, director of the Institute of Housing and Mobility at Ryerson University, said the age of the cars is definitely a cause for concern. "We should be ensuring that there is some service life left in these vehicles and we're not going to be playing havoc with the lives of those who would ride these vehicles," Haider said. "There's metal fatigue, and that metal fatigue could result in dangerous conditions. I would be paying a close watch on this for the next ten years to see how many accidents do happen in Lagos." He also warned that while rail systems are glamorous as far as transit infrastructure goes, they are not always as effective at reducing congestion as other options. Nevertheless, new rail systems are frequently preferred because governments can take advantage of kickbacks from large contracts. According to media reports, the cost estimates for the Lagos rail project have varied wildly from $1.2 billion to $30 billion. In 2010, a Nigerian government watchdog accused Fashola's government of widespread corruption. "More often than not, politicians favour rail transit because it is more expensive," Haider said. "It's almost useless in some cases, and less productive in most cases, than a bus system. But you can't buy busses for $30 billion. You can inflate prices and make a lot of money buying a rail system."

josh4ever: Between 1977 and 1991 only 480 alpha jets were produced. Long since decommissioned its only being used now for training and airshows. So private owners have them. These 2 came from private owners within the united states. I had to help you break it down in a way you could easily understand. #ekpa 1 Like |
