Some people will later ask us what Goodluck jonathan's crimes are. This artice should jolt the senses of every right thinking Nigerian. These guys have zero concern for the people. He presided over grand larceny in the name of subsidy payout, then what happened, he increased fuel price. The subsidy thieves are still hobnobbing with him in Abuja today. Yet hungry Nigerians will echo the greed-induced sentiments of the grand beneficiaries of an incompetent and greedy leadership and still say they support Goodluck Jonathan because they don't want an aboki to get there. What logic! I still say that we never had it this bad under Sani Abacha and that is a fact. i may have been fairly young then, but I was not totally uninformed. PHCN for starters, was much better. profligacy in government was not to this extent. Frankly, i do not support a revolution per se due to its attendant negative consequences judging by the insensitive dolts at the top who wont hesitate to handle uprising the Ghadaffi or Omar Al-Bashir style, but the fact is THESE GUYS MUST GO either before or by 2015! Goodluck supporters (not the paid ones tho), you guys really need to stop giving a sh''it about this guy and his cohorts coz fact is he doesn't give a damn about you all! he doesnt care if you keep groaning in pains and go hungry while he rides in 10 JETS! TEN!!! Who does that? 7 Likes |

The national assembly should order that atleast six of those jets be sold to private airlines or even the rich jet-owning pastors. |

I wish our leaders have conscience. If I try to burn myself like the Egyptian that burnt himself to death which in turn started the revolution, but if I try that one for this country na so so " eeyah, eeyah" our people go dey talk, but I need a gun really fast. 3 Likes |

The government should consider reducing our no of fleet if we are serious on cutting down the cost of governance. However, there is nothing absolutely wrong in airlifting the Malawian president. |

solomon111: Most of those jets were not bought in jonathan's administration. They are here! making the usual excuse that our problems did not start under Jonathan. Did Joyce Banda buy the jet that she sold? Why didnt Jonathan sell the jets Obasanjo left? WHY DID HE BUY MORE? Oya answer. there you have the difference between a leader who comes in to solve problems and a leader who comes in to create more saying that afterall, he didnt start it!

geeez: Trust me some people will come here and defend GEJ for wanting to buy more planes than the Malawian president has in her fleet of cars This is the main problem " and our under-performing legislators have no reason to keep approving new purchases or the billions of naira they appropriate for their maintenance each year." |

Maxymilliano:A repentant Maximilliano. Welcome home prodigal son, we've been expecting you. That been said, i suppose, it is d same thing d opposition and offcourse well meaning Nigerians have been saying about d inability of d executive to limit its spending on frivoulities and channel such fund to generate employment. A government that is serious about providing gains of electoral promises will never engage in such excesses. This is a clear case of abuse of executive power, wastefulness and recklessness without d slightess interest of the masses at heart. |

It was a Tunisian ( Mohamed Bouazizi) who burnt himself and not an Egyptian. Moreover, Nigerians are too selfish to initiate any revolution. Only mere imagination of some folks, reason why those in government care less about the masses. The small fuel subsidy protest was jeopardized by the very masses always screaming revolution at every government misdeed. We can't simply put our money where our mouth is.

LastApostle: The difference between Nigeria and other countries highlighted by the OP is that our money pumps in like water(OIL) while the other nations tax their citizens. What about the Finance minister's warning of money running out? Our 'natural endowments' are being mismanaged and hardly filthers down to the average citizen, so the President curbing excesses as precaution and example to others would be exemplary. No matter how you try to spin it, 10 jets is indicative of a souless leader surrounded by greedy advisers. We as citizens should not encourage this sort of behaviour regarless of our affiliations |

solomon111: The national assembly should be the one to authorize the sale of those jets,and not the president. You are being clever by half. With all due respect (if any is needed at this point), the bolded is the most idiotic statement I've read today. As usual, the federal executive council meeting yesterday was devoted to the approval of contracts, the biggest of which was the purchase of three new jets for the Presidential Air Fleet. The planes, which include a Gulfstream G550 and two new Falcon 7X Aircraft, will cost the country $154.3 million or N23.2 billion. https://www.nairaland.com/495811/jonathan-buys-n23b-jets This was a few months after GEJ became President. Apparently, they have bought even more. |

Double194: I don't think he intended to justify extravagance. I reckon what he is trying to say is that the Nigerian citizenry are too docile to demand accountability. In other countries, this would have drawn massive protests. It is nice that such topics are being drawn to our national consciousness but in the end, all we do is speak big grammar with little or no attendant action. Accountability will start when we start demanding explanations from LG chairmen who will be forced to respond by demanding answers from their Oga at the top as well until it reaches the seat of power. Recent events in Brazil should act as a classic example to Nigerians.We cannot continue to disparage societal ills whilst standing arms akimbo and leave the battle for God. You cannot be 35 and going to church everyday to pray for a job miracle when there is a govt in place to serve you. And the sad part is that whilst the illiterate thugs are start to fade away, we are breeding a new sect of semi-literate and well-educated criminals!! 1 Like |

That the government is spending excessively and the citizens lack to will to question or stop it should not be the fault of Jonathan.

Even if u want to defer, next time, try to inject a bit of sense to it. The fact tat Nigerians don't question gov't doesn't give her licence to milk her dry.
