We all know the ignorant one now. You should go to sleep before you keep talking trash. You need it. In case you don't know, the funds are not given personally to the senators but to the ministries that would be oversee the projects. Get enlightened.

obiscolly:
Please i'm not here to convince you or anyone. You're entitled to your opinion and you might as well keep it to yourself. I wonder how much he can do for his constituency in a government that has been virtually non-existent since inception. Little if you ask me.

chizpim:
This guy knows nothing about governance, even when the united states was broke they never said it, instead they printed money to back their economy. What is wrong with this cow called buhari his scaring away investors. Who will like to invest in an economy that is broke. This is total rubbish and not acceptable.

obiscolly:
I see prospects in this man. I always wish he ran for presidency. But again if he ran, he would likely not have won because Nigerians are too blind to know what's good for them. Anytime he decides to run, he has my vote! As for now, i can only say this is another wasted tenure. Let's wait till 2019.

einsteino:
You fail to see his point. When is buhari going to do something tangible? are we going to get the Nigeria of our dreams by blaming past govts? NO one said pdp didn't contribute to our woes but we are saying buhari's inactivity is hurting the nation at the moment. Let us live in the present cos that is where we can effect "change" not the past.

kakaG:
No doubt your a one of the APC Zombies pictured above.


While waiting for Mr. Presido's locomotive engine to kick start, also be informed that those who put him there are already making other plans. This your die hard patriotism makes you sound dumb.

In am very sure after four years this administration will still be blaming PDP for their failure. See, the truth be told Mr President needs to work out something now and suspend this his unnecessary journeying. After all wasn't that the reason they took power in 1983? If he didn't believe in it at that time he shouldn't be doing so now.

The mark of a man is taking up responsibilities, making things happen and not blaming others for his flaws.

Henrypraise:
My friend make we no go far na u post diss one:

Henrypraise:
My friend u just don't get d gist, d senator is sayin enough of d blame game, fix d problem.
Trust me, dia ar certain tins dat will show he is functioning or he is solidly fixing pdp's mess. E.g

1. The Chibok Girls
2. The head of shekau
3. Steady light (uninterrupted)
4. Job/ employment
5. Functional refinery
6. 5k for unemployed youth
7. Once daily feedin for children
8. 1naira to 1 dollar
9. Security
10. Fighting corruption to a standstill by getting back our money, the once de alleged PDP stole (20billioon dollars, 1.8 trillion naira, 50billion, 30trillion, 400zillion n so on n so forth) at least de told us d last administration stole des money. Let dem recover d money n show us.

Afta doin half of des tins, we can now say, he is building a solid foundation.

abacrested:
Well said,but the truth remains that Buhari is unfit at this stage to govern nigeria. He will be a disappointment, mark my words

donodion:
Aresa,which ever way you chose to twist or read meaning to my opinion is OK by me regardless how pissed you seem. I'm not bothered really.

I admit I didn't see the logo on that Cessna tail with the NCS Inscription and for that I withdraw the ' diversion of fund' aspect.

However , the 2012 article you kept posting to support the purchase and use of a Cessna luxury jet for border patrol placed the joke on you.
You can sing that you rhyme " US and Australia" uses Cessna for border patrol all you want but it won't fly. Clearly that Cessna jet been used by NCS " top brasses" is no more than a luxurious jet.

Give us facts with particular to that jets accessories supporting it been designed and remodelled for border patrol and surveillance to buttress your pointers and not corrupt government statement releases. Until then.....

The purchase is part of a bid to boost the capacity of the agency in regards to curbing smuggling on the country’s border.

Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, the Minister of Finance, who commissioned the new aircraft on Friday at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, said it would help the Customs Service to strengthen aerial surveillance of the various terrains along the country’s borders.

Captain Mbaya disclosed that the plane is fitted with the state-of-the-art equipment and could fly long distances, revealing that he flew the plane from Kansas City, in the United States and refuelled in Spain, before arriving Abuja.

California30:
Nigerian mentality.
In America, all the former presidents still moves and lives with lifetime securities, lifetime staff, lifetime medical team and they still flies the government jet.

They do have lifetime protection.

Why are you bothered because a former Nigerian president travels with a cheap presidential jet ??

loomer:
Lol, u wey no dey ignorant, yet u no fit see simple difference in the pix u put
You think say na to dey blow grammar mean say u dey educated?

aresa:
Not interested in your ignorant and unintelligent babble..

loomer:
Lol, u no educate me on anything

Make u look the plane wey u say US dey use and the one wey nigeria dey use, u go see say US own dey bigger. So like I said, the naija plane no be for border but for private use of who ever buy am.

realnas:
In as much as using aircrafts to patrol our borders by the NCS is a commendable effort I still blv that a UAV I e an unmanned aerial vehicle can do a better job of patrolling our borders , now let's look at the mechanics of a manned aircraft over UAVS firstly it will cost more 10 million dollars to purchase a cessna similar to the one the customs r using aside from d cost u will need pilots to fly the plane , grounds crew men for maintenance all these put together costs money , the pilots stand th e risks of either losing their lives and limbs in the event of a crash [God forbid ] instead we can purchase drones from israel or china from what I can gather it costs roughly less than 2 million dollrs to purchase a wing long drone frm china or a ch4 drone these drones can stay in the sky with their high definition cameras for more than 30 hrs that means they can stay longer in the sky compared to a manned aircraft and the risk of losing lives is non existent cos the pilots r controlin d drone frm a control room just my 2

The Federal Government has purchased an aeroplane for the Nigerian Customs Service (NCS) at a cost of N1.73 billion.

The purchase is part of a bid to boost the capacity of the agency in regards to curbing smuggling on the country’s border.

Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, the Minister of Finance, who commissioned the new aircraft on Friday at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, said it would help the Customs Service to strengthen aerial surveillance of the various terrains along the country’s borders.

Okonjo-Iweala congratulated the Comptroller General of Customs, Abdullahi Dikko, on the acquisition of the aircraft and urged the agency to work harder in order achieve better results for the country.

“The aircraft is an investment for which the country expects good returns,” she said.

“The terrain around the country’s borders includes difficult-to-access riverine and mountainous areas, which make monitoring and combating of the activities of the borders challenging. Several customs personnel have lost their lives or sustained injuries during attacks by smugglers in recent times.”

The two engine 12-seater aircraft with registration number 5N-DIA,which can fly up to 45,000 ft in altitude, will be captained by Kuhi Mbaya.

Captain Mbaya disclosed that the plane is fitted with the state-of-the-art equipment and could fly long distances, revealing that he flew the plane from Kansas City, in the United States and refuelled in Spain, before arriving Abuja.

Dikko said the aircraft would be used for the benefit of the customs in enhancing its revenue collection and surveillance around the borders.
The ceremony was honoured by the deputy controllers general, air force chiefs and members of paramilitary organizations.

ighodalonosa:
This is a private aircraft and not a border patrol aircraft. check very well and u will agree with me. i know military planes very well more than some airforce men. And point of correction, jets are not used for border patrol but helicopters. you only scramble in jets when there is a military incursion into your airspace.

shine96:
We voted for change. Wastage of limited public fund. He could ve used Arik.

donodion:

Patrol aircraft is supposed to be helicopter gunships that can land anywhere.
