| Why Does Jonathan Want Another FALCON 7X JET ? by Deen4me(m): 7:19am On Dec 25, 2014 |
Culled From Facebook If the President of the United States of America, the most powerful country on earth and the largest economy in the world uses just two Boeing airplanes (both are shown in the photo below) & one helicopter in his fleet, what is the President of Nigeria doing with about a dozen aircraft? Is he an angel flying to heaven? If the Pope, the head of the largest Christian Church on earth with over 1.2 billion members (that is almost 20% of the world's population) does not have his own private jet but flies Alitalia, the Italian national airline, what is a Nigerian cleric doing with three jets? If the President of Zimbabwe, who has ruled the country since 1980 uses a Boeing aircraft which is part of the national carrier (Air Zimbabwe) and he has to share the plane with passengers at times, what is Governor Amaechi doing with a private jet? If President Ian Khama of Botswana, the country with the highest Human Development Index in continental Sub-Saharan Africa and one of the fastest-growing economies on earth is using just one jet, what is President Jonathan doing with his garage of alonplanes? If the President of Egypt, the largest country in North Africa and the Arab World, the third-largest in Africa is using one private jet, what are our governors doing with fleets of private jets? If I list out the governors & ex-governors in Nigeria that have private jets, you go shock even though they are not paying salaries. If the President of Ghana flies just one Falcon EX 900 jet, what is our president doing with two Falcons, one Gulfstream and he wants another one, for what? Israel does not even have any private jet for their prime minister or president, anytime any Israeli Head of State wants to travel, the government leases an aircraft from El Al Israel Airlines Ltd, the national flag carrier of Israel and they pay. That is the same Israel that Jonathan will pack his fellow comedians like Suswam, Jang and Akpabio to go and do show while they refuse to pay salaries at home. And that makes sense to you, right? Japan is the world's third-largest economy by nominal GDP and the world's fourth-largest economy by purchasing power parity and also the world's fourth-largest exporter and fourth-largest importer and the nation with the highest life expectancy on earth. But as rich as Japan is, they have just TWO jets for the Prime Minister, the Emperor, Empress and other members of the Imperial Family. The most influential leader in the world, the President of Russia, has two Ilyushin Il-96-300PU jets for his use, and just in case you don't know, Russia has the largest mineral and gas deposits IN THE WORLD and is one of the largest producers of oil and gas in addition to being one of the five recognized nuclear weapons states. King Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand is the richest royal on earth yet na only ONE jet hin and hin entire family dey use. The King of Jordan uses one jet. The President of Kenya uses one. As unusual as North Korean leaders are, they use two. The Emir of Kuwait uses one. Namibia, one. South Africa, one. Luxembourg, one, and that is one of the richest nations on earth. Madagascar, one, which they just bought. Malaysia, one. Niger, one. Queen of England travels on chartered British Airways flights. So many world leaders use JUST ONE AIRCRAFT while some don't even have any presidential jet and many of them actually beg or lemme say hustle for lifts with their other president-friends, as in the case of President Cyprien Ntaryamira of Burundi and his ally, President Juvenal Habyarimana of Rwanda before the Falcon jet they were in was shot down in Kigali leading to the genocide in 1994. Very few countries of the world have a large presidential air fleet, Nigeria is one of them. Oh, I forgot. The King of Saudi Arabia is one of the richest people on earth but guess how many aircraft he has for his use? TWO. And they are not even Falcons, they are 'ordinary' Boeing 747s. You may not agree o, but there is something wrong with our value system, and that is if we even have any. Witches? Ah, puleez! By the way, if President Jonathan had any human feeling, he would start selling some of those jets. After all, in June 2012, to reduce the government spendings and implement austerity measures, Joyce Banda, the female president of Malawi decided to sell her country's only presidential jet & a fleet of 60 luxury cars & cut her own salary by 30%. But guess what? When she wanted to come for an event in Nigeria in July 2013, Jonathan gladly sent one of the jets in the presidential fleet to go fetch her from Lilongwe and return her home after the event. This is the same presidential fleet that he used the princely sum of N747 million to fuel. And who paid that money? Whose taxes? Nothing less than N9 billion is spent every year maintaining Nigeria's PAF. If you say I hate cluelessness, so be it.

For a man who had no shoes, what do you really expect of him |

The only reason I see to his fancy is that he wants to acquire enough to convey the horde of hangers-on he brought to Aso Rock from Utuoke back to Utuoke in 2015. He doesn't wanna do any to and fro flights. Just one way flight, simple. |

PassingShot:even if the money is not used for private jet and it is channeled elsewhere, the money will still be looted with the type of administration we have. |
