They didn't even do it then cos it would have been stupid, that's to show how stupid you're as a person, did ur saviour even consider the hardship millions of Nigerians are subjected to. Business men are hitting loss back to back but u must lick the ass of a man that don't give a fúck about ur existence. How pathetic!
Mr man don't have orgasm on my comment. After you finish ranting like a 69 years old lunatic, you can tell me where I support the proposal.

VULCAN:
Our economy was many times stronger under Jonathan

Yet this fool would have insulted Jonathan in the run up to 2015 elections if he bought the yacht.

Tinubu would have used it to campaign for Buhari.

But it's ok for same Tinubu to buy it now.

It's not easy to be a urchnn

Which one of Nnamdi Kanu's Dogs gave birth to you? Where did I say it's okey to buy the Yatch, where?

I support Tinubu but can’t support nor defend him on this yacht nonsense. It is very insensitive at this time. Even if Ghana or Togo has it, we don’t have to copy everything. If it had been proposed and initiated by previous governments as I have read somewhere, let him stop it forthwith.

To early to complain. He's just stabilizing. Wait for your renewed shege. Nigerians must learn the hard way as usual till the day we will all have had more than enough. Till then keep enjoying your "progressive government" in peace!

The question remains, does the current economic realities in Nigeria today justifies this idiocy? How can government be creating multiple political ministries, buying foreign exotic cars for NASS and now this wasteful jamboree by a government?

It doesn't justify in any way. The way our government is run ehn! Especially in this time, ehn!

So why did you bring up the 2010 thread
To show you that having it in the budget doesn't mean it must be purchased

How does it not been purchased in 2010 mean it won't be purchased in 2023.
Besides, the 2010 own was not a budgetary allocation but a special request by the navy to the Nigeria 50th independence anniversary committee.
There's a world of difference which makes your defence shallow.
But I'm actually surprised anyone will still be defending this based on what happened under "corrupt and clueless' Jonathan.
Is Jonathan suddenly the standard to APC govt defenders?

You see why we always tell you people to verify. Same Navy proposed this time.
The Navy made the proposal but the outcome is different. And that's what people are worried about. In a time like this where people are at their lowest in terms of purchasing power then the president is accepting to purchase a luxurious yatch. Haba! Think about this without any political undertone.

Everyone should relax, especially the supporters of those 2 sore losers.


The yatch had been in the budget before, but it was never purchased for obvious reasons.
Keep deceiving yourself. Did they buy it? So why should they buy it now? Have you or anyone in your entire family including your ancestors entered a yacht before?

Tinubu Zombie.

I have a feeling that it was Seyi Tinubu that brought up this childish, insensitive and irrelevant idea.
Someone with National Interest at heart can never think of spending Nigerian money for such LUXURY nonsense.

After buying the boat at 5 billion, what next?
- You pay for operating license.
- You continue to renew the license.
- All the maintenence and upgrades that will follow within the next 8 years will cost another 4 Billion naira (this is naija).

No returns on investment. Just a total money guzzling machine.

Air fleet is costing the nation 12billion

The way you're foaming in the mouth like epileptic patient, one would think the Yatch had been purchased. A bitter soul like you wouldn't know that Nigeria's capital budget never perform beyond 50%. Has the President released the money yet? Must everything in the that budget be acquired?
