[color=royalblue]At this point, one just have to believe that Tinubu is enriching himself from NNPC.

If up till now, Kyari is still there, fogerriittt.[/color]

The joke is on every individual that actually believed "This administration will favour me and my family in Jesus name"

GloriousGbola:
But na wa sha. We have a jet that has been sitting in Canada paying parking fees for the last 10 or more years? Why did the fg not simply requisition that as the ofiicial jet?

That's the elders say : If dem explain Nigeria give u and u undertand, then the person no explain well .

Even if we don't covert the jet to presidential jet, we should've at least sold it and use the money for the benefit of Nigerians.

But then Nigerians are greedy and the problem of Nigeria. The Dan Etete man made as much as $800m by allocating oil well to himself and later selling it to shell . Whopping $800m going to one man. This just shows Abacha's family was right that they can't be as poor as Dangote

Someone in the fg is feeding them info of Nigeria's assets.

Obviously, nothing goes for nothing na. A typical Naija public servant will sell the country to a foreigner with enough dollars dangled in their face.

Somebody is definitely getting paid to point them in the direction of those assets.

Ballzproblem2:
Dj play me davido "shopping spree" .

Their money don nearly complete o.

$57m Dan Etete jet + $2m Loserpool home + whatever they make from the sale of the remaining two presidential jet already seized is supposed to be = the $70million court awarded settlement.

FG should sha punish Ogun state and the irresponsible ex-governor(s) .

[color=royalblue]According to the report, 2 escaped.

So maybe the weapons dey their hand.[/color]

Exactly. A 5 man gang will most likely have just one gun while the others without gun will use physical force on the victim

swiz123:
Where did this happen and was it in broad day light? It's difficult to stop someone with a gun, so I wonder how they were caught.

My friend’s friend own happened at Kola-AIT, Alagbado, Lagos.

This particular one izzou posted happens at Ikorodu .

The truth is a lot of non-state actors now have guns in their possession and use it to rob/kidnap nowadays . Forget about daylight , these people know a lot of Lagosians always mind their business so they take advantage of that .

swiz123:
Where is the gun they used ? I hope you don't believe they went to kidnap someone weaponless?

Wait till police parade them in their regular briefings to the press, u will see the weapon in that video.

This is just a picture taken by one of the eye witnesses at the scene. There will be several pictures and videos taken at different times showing the weapons which may not make it to the mainstream social media. When the police arraign them, u will see the weapon.

These bastarrds are everywhere on a proll. One of my friend's friend was attacked in similar fashion. He was at the gate of his house about driving in when those guys pulled up on him and collected his lexus. They hit him with the butt of the gun, collected the car and wanted to force him in the booth before he bolted.

They weighed the risk of running after him and left with his car. He was able to put a call through to the person that did the car tracking and the car was demobilized within hours. He recovered his vehicle where they abandoned it and was grateful he neither lost his life nor his car.

As expected, police collect better money for the fact that he got his car back when they did absolutely nothing to get the car back.

mostob:
What do you mean by 'all that? He started as a LB in those two matches and he inverted into midfield. Those were the two games he played before he got injured na

In summary u've only watched him in 1 and half competitive games for arsenal.

But if Arteta decides to use Zinchencko ahead of him for tactical reasons u will question Arteta's decision right?

mostob:
Timber rarely plays (FB) without inverting unless Arteta is against it. Against City and Forest last season, he inverted into the midfield.

So it was those two matches he did all that?

popizaino:

I weak.y brother 😃

mostob:
Well, we better go with Timber. He is defensively better and can invert too. He should just stop the showboating.

Inside which match did Timber do all of these? 🤔

Jodera:
No, oo.
I'm not even saying he's the poorest player on the pitch on Saturday(even Saliba gave away some cheap balls).
Far from it.

I'm just saying Zinny is someone who might be our weak link(due to "you know why" ) and he might be easily targeted by Emery and Aston Villa. The White, Saliba and even Timber instances might be a one-offs but can we say same for Zinny when it comes to defensive actions and not switching off?
That was just my point of concern.

Fair enough. But we should be mindful enough that the manager will most likely have his plan which may involve the LB inverting into midfield when we are on the defensive side.

I won't be surprised if Zinchenko is started ahead of others just for that single reason.

Jodera:
At a point he was losing focus even in the first half and when he was being targeted by Wolves, Arteta have to quickly substitute him.

I can imagine how it will be against Emery and their fast wingers

What if I tell u that White and Zinchencko were both rated the same point (6) by most rating websites for their respective performances in the game vs Wolves?

Even Timber who came on gave the ball away which nearly resulted in a goal against us.

I am not stanning Zinchenko o, but he was not the poorest player on the pitch that day for us sha.

GloriousGbola:
You will note that the 'experts' are not named.

Unfortunately we don't have anyone in aviation on this thread to corroborate or counter the statement from an unnamed expert source.

So it is now about the experts being named or unnamed?

We are in serious trouble

Dem don tire to blame human beings, na God/force majeure remain to dey blame now

GloriousGbola:
The claim is that there are multiple Nigerian Boeing engineers, the fg can easily service and maintain boeings. The data says otherwise. Add to the fact that our civil aviation is not that big to begin with and then ask yourself what percentage those crashes constitute of the total air fleet in Nigeria.

I don't know where u read the bolded. The expert said Boeing is one of the fleet that Nigerian engineers are mostly mastered in

It simply means Nigerian engineers specialize more in servicing of Boeing aircraft more than any other aircraft. Why? It's simply because Boeing is more common in the Nigerian sky than any other make of aircraft. It's just like how Toyota is more common than any other brand of car on Nigerian road.

Now what does that have to do with air mishaps? Where is the correlation?

I will ask once again: Are u saying the experts don't know what they are saying about their own field?

Jodera:
I hope Arteta is readying Calafiori or Timber for Aston Villa match


I no wan see Zinny against Bailey or any of their wingers o

But he didn't play badly this last game tho

GloriousGbola:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Aviation_accidents_and_incidents_in_Nigeria

This is a list of aircraft mishaps in Nigeria. Several of the planes are Boeing planes. Since we allegedly have several Boeing engineers, why did this happen?

Like seriously?

This is just like asking why are there so many Toyotas involved in accidents on Nigerian road. Which other brand of vehicle is more popular than Toyota on the Nigerian road? Is it Opel or Renault that we expect to be top on the list of accidented cars in Nigeria?

How many aircraft in the Nigerian sky are not Boeing?

GloriousGbola:
I posted something on the state of things with Boeing as an aircraft manufacturer. No one who follows aviation news will even consider buying a Boeing plane right now

As to the other claim - Where are the Boeing engineers in Nigeria? You think people who are actually trained and certified would have stayed on Nigerias depleted aviation industry where they would be at the mercy of corner cutting businessmen?

It is in fashion to bash this admin and that is all these 'experts' are doing.

So, in summary the experts don't know what they are saying ?

Aviation experts say the new aircraft was unnecessary waste of money ; Tinubu supporters say Aviation Experts no know wetin dem dey talk 🤔

√(x₁ – x₂)² + (y₁ – y₂)² = Peter Obi

nihilistjnr:
Omo I hear say dem dey treat Nigeria like palmpay defaulter.

How private investor go sey seize Nigerian government owned property in the UK to sell on Ebay of all places.

I think it's fake news. For 1 liverpool is a shithole. I can't imagine nigerian government having property there, let alone property worth that much...in bloody Liverpool.

Then I also won't imagine any house being sold on bloody Ebay.

Still, the news funny die sha. What a country.

I saw the news also.

Amosun's administration in Ogun state really need to be investigated o; who knows what other aggrieved investor is lying in wait to drag the country to the cleaners due to his maladministration in the state. I've been reading lately that he really cancelled a lot of contracts/projects arbitrarily just to spite Gbenga Daniel back then.

Instead of being remorseful, his aides are busy dragging Pat Utomi who has come out to confirm indeed Amosun was moving mad by cancelling contracts here and there.

Amigoss:

So the owner wants to abandon the gods inside bad governance while he japa to Germany ?

See wetin man dey do the gods o

obonujoker:
Rubbish team.

No UTD players even after we win FA Cup

Humor me, which United player do u think will displace anybody on the team? The same players y'all cussed all season?

TrebleChamp:
Tinubu that upgraded from the Peugeot 504 Salon he met as official car in 1999 to Mercedes Benz G63 (Wagon), no be today him dey blow Govt money to live like a King.
Same PJ Buhari used for 8 years suddenly developed faults that they could no longer fixed or maintain, any excuse to justify blowing 150bn naira on a bigger more luxurious PJ is allowed. Let them keep it coming.....

It’s only people that want to be deceived that will get deceived jare . Tinubu has always lived luxurious life at the expense of the state .

Well, he already said it’s his turn so let him enjoy .

Everybody go Dey alright las las .

Let them buy more aircrafts for the VP, senate president and even house of reps speaker.

Later we will go hat in hand to borrow more loans from our foreign partners

If my old car breaks down 7 times in 2 years, i will use church mind and know that it is irreparable.

Planes and cars can't send you voicemail that they don kpafuka. It is usually either they keep getting faults despite repairs OR they stop in the middle of the road/fall from the sky.

It is a simple sturvs.

Well, I will keep my fingers crossed to see what the new buyer would do with the old plane when it’s eventually sold .

In fact, from the day it’s reported sold I will keep tabs on the aircraft and see how long it will take for
It to fall from the sky

izzou:
[color=royalblue]If Tinubu can settle for a 15 year old plane, then Nigeria is truly broke.

By 2031, the plane would be 22 years old.

Whoever is cumming in should budget for another plane

God bless our president[/color]

I think it’s clear now.

God bless the president , God bless the country and God bless the new plane 🙏

afrodoc2:
This actually not relevant and has also been answered. Some of the worst and unsafe cars, boats, ships still have buyers. The fact that someone else is bold or foolish enough to keep using an unsafe vehicle does not mean everybody else should do the same.

Issokay

raumdeuter:
That means we should still be able to use the aircraft the Wright brothers used for their inaugural flight?

Age of planes dont matter, this plane below is flying to London will you enter?

Yes , that’s a nice suggestion since it’s coming from u.

raumdeuter:
Your old shirt, old shoe, old car etc someone will buy it and use it.

Even a broken down car someone will use it, All the Tokunbo cars in Nigeria are cars some people decided its too old for them to drive

Unfortunately an aircraft is not an old shirt or shoe. That’s just another false equivalence .

This is an aviation expert as far back as 2018 talking about the fact that age of aircraft don’t actually matter .

But I know u will not agree with the expert. No wam!

seankafor:
individual risk tolerance no be the same? Despite numerous kidnappings some people still dey travel 🧳 for road 🛣️

Shey u Dey hear talk 😂

So that individual will spend million of dollars to buy an aircraft he knows will crash Abi ?

afrodoc2:
If you are saying all the reports of the president organizing emergency transport because of his plane developing faults are false, then you have a point.

Planes like any other machine develop faults over time too. None of us here will want to enter a plane if we know it has had multiple faults recently, but we want the president to keep using it?

My question still remains unanswered . Whoever buys the old aircraft will he park it in a museum for exhibition or it will suddenly become airwothy in the hands of a new owner?

Another question: Is there any report anywhere that said the plane is irreparable?
