solomon111: Most of those jets were not bought in jonathan's administration. GEJ met 7 planes. If the right leader for Nigeria, he should have sold off 5 or 6 to leave 2 or 1. Instead he brought three to augment the PAF to ten and create a bigger fiscal headache on top of what existed that should only be reduced drastically. This is a direct example of GEJ worsening the problem. Let us speak the truth and shame the devil. OBJ and GEJ are the same in being part of the problem of Nigeria rather than the solution. When most nations far richer than Nigeria do not entertain such excess, what can be OBJ and GEJ's excuse for such if not that this is what their Party believes in? Just simply say wrong is wrong and stop dragging names from the past into issues as mitigation for what is currently being done wrong in the present. What GEJ is doing is wrong, thoughtless, highly profligate and anti-people. Nothing OBJ did can detract from that. They are both callously greedy in my opinion. Only an unrepentant jingoist will not be extremely dejected by the parts in red below that show what GEJ is. Who is happy to know that the amount spent maintaining GEJ's planes is N7 billion more than is spent on equipping the police force? Which kind of leader would sanction such if not one who "does not give a damn" about Nigerians? http://www.nigeriannewsservice.com/nns-news-archive/headlines/budget-2011-presidency-to-spend-n18bn-on-fleet Budget 2011: Presidency to spend N18bn on fleet 4 Likes |

yuzedo: And it would've been ungracious/insulting if Banda spurned the Nigerian Government's offer, even though that's exactly what should've happened. Truth is,there must be something questionable about that woman's integrity. 9 out of 10 times if dt woman comes to Nigeria u can be sure a Presidential jet from our fleet was sent to fetch,and return her to Malawi. Won't waste my time commenting on GEJ's profligacy,...Tunde Bakare sed it all,....GEJ is going to bankrupt this Nation. |

In a bid to defend you pay master, you become completely dillusional and pathetic.

This is not about politics, i don't defend any political party, but it's about dispassionately leaning our voice to condemn this heinous act that directly affect poor Nigerians out there. |

dare2think:Where in the world was it recorded that money 'ran' out of an economy. The finance minister is just taking precautionary economic measures to check government expenditures and fiscal deficit. By blowing the trumpet, all agencies of government saddled with generating revenue takes drastic measures to supplant the economy. The financial regulatory agencies and controllers also take strident fiscal measures to empower the government spending and reduce public lending etc |

Re: Nigerian Jet For Malawian President by Nobody: 12:01pm On Jul 16, 2013 |
I do not support fiscal recklessness in govt but I view every report from Punch these days with justifiable suspicion. PUNCH is Tinubu's dog, with no credibility. Meanwhile, the NASS can organise a public hearing on this matter so that the true number of presidential aircraft and circumstances under which they were bought would be made exposed. Also, this issue can be tabled before the president at the next presidential media briefing. I cannot judge based on what Tinubu says through Punch. We need to hear from all sides. Some of the aircrafts Tinubu's Punch counted as part of the ten or nine may no longer be air-worthy. Ten cars can be parked in a compound but only five of the ten may be road-worthy. Also there's nothing wrong in Nigeria sending an aircraft to pick up the president of Malawi. Yes, Nigeria is a poor country but Nigeria is far far richer than Malawi. |
Re: Nigerian Jet For Malawian President by stagger: 12:02pm On Jul 16, 2013 |
All those aircraft were met by Jonathan. They were purchased by Shagari, IBB and OBJ. The older ones are no longer allowed to fly to most other countries because they violate the noise limits imposed by the EU and the West. Some have been put up for sale. So we should not blame GEJ for this. I also do not see why we cannot afford to pick up another African President for a function. Nigeria is rich and can afford it. The issue is that only a few have colonized the wealth and it has not spread down to the populace. |

Here's a breakdown of the fleet including their registration numbers. I also got pics of almost all of them. 2 Falcon 7X jets (5N-FGV & 5N-FGU) Delivered 2010 2 Falcon 900 jets ( Gulfstream 550 (5N-FGW) Delivered 2010 Boeing 737 BBJ (5N-FGT)(Nigerian Air Force 001 or Eagle One) Gulfstream IVSP Gulfstream V (5N-FGS) Cessna Citation 2 aircraft (5N-AYA) Hawker Siddley 125-800 jet A Dornier 228 (NAF 029) 3 Presidential Helicopters - AW139s (NAF 540 & NAF 541) Last unknown. Costs 2 Falcon 7X jets purchased in 2010 cost $51.1m each, while the Gulfstream 550 costs $53.3m. Another less known fact is the dedication of an Airforce C-130 especially for 'Presidential duties' making it 11 aircraft in the Presidential Fleet. |

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. With the assured air of indifference that marks every post you make on these boards, we are once again reminded that Nigeria's Presidential profligacy is all in order. Nice. Ignorant apologists and downright dishonest charlatans who definitely know better may argue the point that the older aircraft need to be replaced due to maintenance issues (becoming expensive and dispatch reliability). In Nigeria this would have been an abomination! The current Air Force One being used by President Obama was delivered to the US government in 1990. There are aircraft that serve top US government functionaries that are equally as old as the current Air Force One.
