Nlanders, I personally think that it's out of place for an army officer to use any of the aircrafts of the Airforce unless of course in a war situation,
The Nigerian Army should have a transport plane or helicopter for their chief.
I see this action of the army chief using an Airforce plane as longer-throat on the part of the army chief, a competent army ought to have its own fleet of planes same as the Navy should,
And I'm sure there were Army helicopters he could have used.
Rip to him!

if you're suggesting this, do well to also support them with whatever financial assistance they needed

The defence allocations running into billions if naira can do this and more for them.
Why would the Airforce be responsible for the transport of Army officers when it's not a war situation?

what is Airforce, army and Navy do you think there's any difference btwn them?

A lot of difference, Airforce is in charge of the air, Army controls land, Navy controls the waters.
They have their different functions,
There's no way the Navy would abandon the waters and start taking over land and vice versa, that's why the Navy and Airforce doesn't possess battle tanks and other equipments for land warfare.

3/4 of the planes in the presidential fleet should be handed over to the armed forces. They're the ones doing the job. The country has close to ten airplanes for the president alone! Where is he flying to? The man just likes flying around.. Release the planes to the commanding officers of the different security agencies fighting wars and sit your behind in a place. Some of the presidential planes are packed most times while his service Chiefs fly in these outdated planes.

Methinks the Army needs to be given a fleet of planes separately from the Airforce,
Same as the Navy, I don't see a reason why the Airforce should be responsible for the transport of the army chief.
I'm not comparing Nigerian Army to the US Army but the US Army has its own fleet of planes and pilots and doesn't need the help of the Airforce unless there's a war situation that needs the general cooperation of all armed forces, since we tend to copy the west why not copy this positive aspect too?

The Airforce is only responsible for the transport of the President, its not a branch of the Army, it should only be serving the army during war situations or national emergencies as stipulated by law.

From my little knowledge
Navy = Ships and Submarines
Airforce = Aircrafts i.e fighter Jets, Drones,
Army = Helicopters, Tanks, Drones, fighter Jets, Heavy artilleries.
but then you are correct the army should also have aircrafts too but i don't know for naija

Is he the only person that died in the crash?There were about 10 personnel on board that plane but the coas seems to be the only person that is getting all the sympathy.So others are not important?

The presidential air fleet is not responsible for only the president. It is also responsible for the transportation or the vice president, Senate president and the speaker of the house while Eagle on is exclusive two the president. The PAF has also been brought under the air force now instead of being an exclusive arm off the presidency (cost and security issues I think)

The PAF does not actually have 10 aircraft's again. It consists of 5 planes and one helicopter right now as three planes have been sold off and two other planes returned to the airforce.

And this will prevent the FLEETS from crashing too when the unfortunate situation comes knocking?

MALIGNANTGuest:

And this will prevent the FLEETS from crashing too when the unfortunate situation comes knocking?

No. That’s not what he’s implying. Don’t be mischievous. I agree with what he said. The Army Corp should have its own means of transportation, especially for transportation of its topmost man.

I be wan ask too. So many airforce personnel lost their lives for their bullshits games.

He sent out the army helicopters to Arondizuogu to harass Igbos.

The aircraft belongs to Nigerian Armed forces and not Nigerian air force.

come to South East you will find multiple Navy base and check points in remote villages that doesn't have any access to stream let alone river..

Even the Army has an airwing unit. Their head office for that unit is opposite UniAbuja perm site - close to the airport. So I don't know why it should even be flying in the planes of Airforce

So you don't know we are in a war situation??

the airforce is already in charge of the presidential fleet so shut up

get educated Nigerians. So you saying if army officials were to travel on sea they should have their own ships and not use that of the Navy?

Check the duties of the airforce

Can u just shut up if u have nothing sensible to add here. Nigeria navy, Army (as it is in most places of the world) have their own fleet of helicopter and fixed winged aircrafts. A little research would have saved u this ur folly.

yes but in war periods like this the airforce should do most of the airlift operations so shut up

Lols, anyways setting the record straight.
The Chief of Army Staff
Chief of Defense staff
The Navy
The Airforce


They can use any of each other Planes, ships and Tanks. Whenever they feel like.
The Head of Army, and Airforce can make use of Navy ship if they're going to somewhere via water.

The Head of Army and Navy can make use of Airforce planes.

The head of Navy and Airforce can make use of Army Cars and tanks.

They're all under one body.
Chief of Army staff using Airforce aircraft isn't wrong!
