he didn't know the true state of things with the Airforce because according to you he made promises based on untrue facts presented by gej about the state of things with the Airforce. The question is why didn't buhari conduct his own investigation before making promises about anything ? This is a simple issue . What was he planning on?

was he in govt with gej? .how many of us truly new the state of the economy?most only new it was in bad situation.only a few actually new it was very bad.mind you we had various govt agencies which were being forced to bring out false data,etc.within the military circle its a know fact that the alfa jets in use was not effective.to bomb a specific target the in some cases would have to do a bombing run of 4 runs sometimes as much as 6.there was no guided or precision weapons in our inventory. Many facts were hidden.Buhari has president has more information than ever before.so what's your problem
.

naijaking1:
Not just in Cross river or Akwa Ibom, come to Ikwerre, Ndoki, and Egbema, you will see poverty that will make you cry. And the story is not different from towns in former Ogoja, Awka, Okigwe, and Abakaliki divisions of the former east.
Somebody somewhere is enjoying the fruits of their environment without shame!

we are talking about. Oron in relation to akwa ibom. Pls tell how is there oil in some of the places you have mentioned. If you want me to tell you about poverty I will .all part and I repeat all parts of Nigeria is poor forget the semblance of affluence you see in the state capitals. Have been to 34 States in Nigeria. I can tell you poverty in endemic with the northern states worse off .now tell me is akwa ibom not enjoying at the expense of the Oron nation?.this is also what will happen even Biafra takes over .mind you this was what was obtained during the old eastern Division.am I correct?my point as always been that all resource producing areas should be carried along by all government agencies in developing their various areas ,even the north and Niger delta inclusive

onatisi:
we are both saying the same thing,it means that buhari himself didn't know about the problem before promising heaven and earth and it should be noteworthy to note that since the beginning of gej tenure buhari was bashing gej for not handling the issue well ,he even said at one time it was because of our soldiers low morale that was given boko haram the edge.

we are not saying the same thing my guy.

onatisi:
The question we should be asking is ,when buhari didn't have any knowledge about what our military capabilities were ,why was he promising to finish off boko haram within 2 months of taking power during his campaign? We had a government that was at the nick of finishing off boko haram only for buhari to come and slow things down? Where are the planes and weapons gej used just 12weeks back ? Have they suddenly got spoilt This man buhari can't be trusted . He is simply a babamegaslowslow .

he was basing his assumptions on the falsified fiqures of military hardware the immediate past govt was dishing out. The AIRFORCE lack proper counterinsurgency military precision aircraft,helicopters,we even lack basic ATMGs.the role of the AIRFORCE is recon,air Support and tactical preemptive strike.we don't have enough helicopter not to talk of jet fighter's. Do u even know the size of borno state?.the entire 5soth eastern states if placed inside borno,you would still have more than half of the state remaining. So you see our assets is just to small for any meaningful impact.and pls don't forget bulk of the six weeks fighting was done by the Chadians(who were paid over $1m per day) and south African rented force

AustineE1:
Most of the successes recorded in the battle field by the past government was through our airforce, but ever since this present government came in, not even a single successful bombardment has been recorded by the air force.
Why do I have this feelings that PMB has surrounded himself with incompetent people.I guess he was never prepared for the task ahead.

what do even know about the AIRFORCE or its role in counterinsurgency. Olodo

Baawaa:
PDP,bad opposition, lies cannot take the party to anywhere

of course this is stupid.how can someone spew this rubbish. How many was even on his entourage.unlike Jonah and his wife fe traveling with over 600 to the us.everyone new buhari was cost conscious thus the few people who followed him to the us.
If you guys want to talk bring facts not fiction.

wise0ne:
I have read several post and comments by this great Nairalander and they are always informative, educative,intelligent and breath taking. he always bring to the fore, some of the hidden agendas, hipocritical doings of the present government administration. I came accros this article and I was shocked and filled with awe, that politicians take Nigerians for granted and go scot free..

who him be .I think I would start matching him facts for facts now.when someone comes and start dishing out half truth,only for him to be praised I start getting worried. I think is time I match this barca with facts.

chinchum:
hey! go and sleep, you are the joker here. he should apply his creativity to solve peculiar needs of Nigeria and Africa. i repeat there is no point trying to reinvent the wheel and developing a plane worse off than the one built by the wright brothers in 1903, there is absolutely no innovation in building that trash, all I see is vain glory and ego tripping. I read here some days ago that a policeman developed a bullet proof using local materials, I want to believe that can be readily put to use as it is expected to be way cheaper than imported ones and it will still provide about the same utility , that should be celebrated!!! many people still suffer and die from drinking dirty water, a local technology that develops a cheap, cost effective purifier should be celebrated

guy your right. Many are blinded by sentiments. Tell me what is the use of what he feels he has invented.usefulness is =0.the stuff is not useful.even the usefulness of the initial bike has been defeated. We like calibrating stupidity please check this links and come back to comment.This are all teens.

Pls go through this links and pls compare with the contraption of an okadaplane thanks

Truth24:
Lovely

as in comedy or what. Have any one imagined how the rider is going to be positioned. To me is just stupidity and waste of time it would have been better he converted the bike into something more practical like a farm mini tricycle truck.there is a lot of science and engineering that goes into plane making.we like praising what we never work instead of us to encourage the teaching of science in primary and secondary school.I bet if he had gone to a standard school such type of contraption would not even have crossed his mind. Is just like when I see a 50 years old man building some funny looking local toy and displaying by the roadside every for onlookers to give him some money.and people will say heeyahh if govt can help him he can start build trucks.Now ask the man simple laws of motion he knows nothing. its ridiculous.teens in advance country do more than that .they even build robots with AI.we practical solutions to solve practical things.Please tell me what will the okadaplane solve.rubbish

Sowell25:
what are you calling my name for?
Oron nation produces 85 % of the oil in Akwa ibom (Oron territory also contains 80% of the numerous resources found in akwa ibom/crossriver region ) as the former mayor of crossriver,Clement Isong sighted the Exon Mobil at Eket instead of Mbo due to ethnic bias. most of the oil is offshore in Oron territorial waters and the highest concentration is towards bakassi area,and that's why there was a scramble for it.(I know it's easy to assume that ibeno territorial waters contains more oil because it's the at the coastal forefront,but that has nothing to do with the oil concentrates). most of the Pipelines are connected from Oron territorial waters underground to Eket.

So I guess you do not see the injustice on Oron nation,and you do not think the governor should have been Oronian. You see,I wish there there was a better way to say this,but black people are stvpid and primitive ,and that's why Africa will always remain backward until you think right and do the right thing.
Oron has to secede from Akwa Ibom.Once Oron secedes then i'll no longer have any problem with ibibio. I truly wish the entire akwa ibom/crossriver region was developed and everyone live in peace and progress,then governorship ethnicity wouldn't even matter,but it's unfortunate that black people are so stvpid trying to suppress and hinder each other's progress. Oron's only recourse is to get a new state with Ibeno. Just as the Akwa ibom people cried for a new state and God answered their prayers,I trust that he will answer Oron's prayers and Rescue Oron from the predicament.you guys do not know the hole you are diging yourself into .all of the marginalization and injustice has created disunity and enmity ,and it will be used against the ibibios and annangs in a few years when all those white elephant projects have decayed and you are down .

*It's funny,I know more about your history ,topography and geology than some of you guys who lived there all your lives.

you are quite correct. Most of the oil if not all in akwaibom belongs to the Or on people. The oil is mainly offshore. And they are the worst for it.I have been to the or on villages you need to see the marginalization .it is just too bad the way they are treated.forget ikotepkene or uyo. Come to akwa ibom and see poverty in human form especially in the or on villages.

theSpark:
They were trained as commercial pilots. Or is it an illegitimate pursuit or security breach?

to be sincere this guys have choosen the wrong job. How many of you will feel comfortable boarding a plane which u are told the pilot use to be a militant/terrorist/freedomfighter. How many airlines companies do you think would want to take them in. In global settings now ur past is checked has it determines ur pyschological make up or profile. This is what the airlines look at. Simply this guys are not employable because they have psychotic tendencies to react to issues in a confrontational way. They will find it difficult getting employed global. Even in Nigeria were we have pilots without jobs whose record are clean.the militant pilot should forget it. Ask ur self who would u prefer. Remember the recent German airline pilot incident. Where the pilot deliberately crash the plane.it would have been better for ordinary Niger delta youths to have gone and learnt piloting instead of the militants.even how relevant is this skills when we dont have enough planes,airport and even job.it is a total waste because i dont see how the Niger delta is going to benefit. Other entrepreneurial skills would have been great with the the funds being wasted as take up grants for them.

Somebody has been summoned to somewhere in ikoyi towards Banana island and called to order......
Now he's cool with the present state of Osun. Well I was told he's loved by his people - they don't mind not being paid salary

many just come to here to spew rubbish .argue is loved by his people.this is a fact. Osun has the largest civil service workforce in the southwest apart from lagos.and i think 3rd in Nigeria .coupled Jonah mismanagement,crude oil price crash and APC state revenue attack scheme which treatment was given to all apc states.while pdp states where given free money from the ecological funds.this affected many apc states with osun feeling it more because unlike others in the west it has more workforce and less igr.benue is still owing in some instances 10months from the last pdp administration

kokoA:
After dem go come here dey misbehave like Orubebe; "Buhari is partial, Buhari is a tribalist, we cannot continue with Buhari, na only north north, etc". Thesame man they refused to vote for have appointed their son as DG of one of the most lucrative government agency. Even GEJ appointed his brother (the sacked ijaw man), to tell you how lucrative that agency is. Carry on Baba, you will be vindicated.

tel them ooo. Nimasa is one of the major political party money supporting agency. This is the place you will see a mid level staff carrying more than 6 latest pad at once. I once saw a director with 7phones. The place ooze money.so are guys going to start complaining

b3llo:
Is it the Oil that is making this people act sick! I now know that some people are not happy seeing Nigerians living in peace.

guy u correct die. They are asking for 300bn from where.while at the same time they are asking the multinationals who would eventualy provide the money interms of taxes and royalty to govt for the 13% derivation to leave.is this not stupidity at the lowest level?.this militants dont think

NDPVF:
[s][/s]Ijiot,WE DONT CARE.If he likes,let him pay allegiance to 50 more countries,we have decided,saraki is our SP.adjust your shock absorber,or buy more,you are yet to open more thread on saraki.BTW,is this passport a new one?.Was it not there when APC gave him ticket to run for senate?.just gerrout.

see ur type. Even buharis cows are smart .they would even tell you this line of thinking is wrong.did you know he was of dual citizenship?did he declare this to even his own party before contest.or when he was formally in pdp.we are just getting to know.so this should continue? The ? Should be what is the stand of the constitution on this.if it is allowed its fine if not what does it say. I have friends who are of dual citizineship.the question is what does the law say about it when contesting for public office.in america you cant be the president or even any public office if u have a dual citizenship

citizenisb:
A lot of times we try to project the image of the benign, peace loving drunk from Otueke to cover up the complete rot his administration represented. It is just a repeat of history as most of us know that Shagari is a good man but his administration was very corrupt.

I stay in Abuja and I know that the corruption under the GEJ administration was monumental and the enormous revenue accrued to the government was wasted even much more than Abacha, Babangida and Obasanjo combined. Why are we so wicked to keep on defending his administration.

Buhari has a lot of personal flaws but if we can remember this election was a referendum on GEJ not necessarily about Buhari in the swing states of the South West and North Central.

Whether he appoints Ministers this night or next year it is a huge relief from the madness we just went through for six years.

It will take a lot for us to recover with the depleted external reserves, crash of crude prices, a possible Greek default, reduction in summer travel and GDP/ Oil use due to terrorism fears, a huge slowdown in China, 30 million barrels of stored Iranian crude about to hit the market with the removal of sanctions and two possible interest rate hikes by the US Federal Reserve.

We are in interesting times no matter who is at the helm and the earlier we all hunker down and pray to weather the storm without terrible social unrest that will come with job losses, subsidy removal, Naira devaluation and corresponding hyperinflation adding to the Boko Haram insurgency decimating the North East and the bankruptcy of the states.

Let me give you a brief example; Buhari told the governors to negotiate longer loan tenors with the banks up to 20 years to reduce the strain and inability to pay salaries, do you know how that will affect bank profits and systemic liquidity. What will happen to their Oil and Gas loans if oil prices dip further.

May God help this country but please it is sheer wickedness to bring up the previous administrations records. In other climes they would have been shot by now.

you have said it all. A word is enough for the wise and non-bigoted or ethnocentric person. I rest my case

Shut up! You have nothing meaningful to contribute to this topic. Keep you fingers crossed and watch what the intellectuals have to say!

i concur.some treads are meant for only the intellectuals.some people without well developed cognitive and reasoning abilty,just jump on topics without properly reading it to understand the subject matter

My brother what do u expect from slaves? Slaves will always be slaves. Use and dumped like bag of sardines. The most annoying part is being a slaves to cows no be say na even America o or even China but illitrates Malus. Somuch for their so called "litracy"; I guess their educatn is on how to serve their slave masters faithfully.

what do u expect from a group that prides it self at being smart but in the real sense is actualy stupid. Ur case is just like a son who ask d dad for his share of property. whos was brougth back after spending is goodwil.but over time was given some freedom only for him to believe he now has more wisdom than the sons in the politics of home management and now decides to out smart the sons who erstwhile were considering bringing him back to the main fold.they sat back and allowed him to rake when all stem was exhhausted.they lectured him and reminded him his place.mind u the other brother he claimed he was championing his cause has already seen is mistake and sorted it out with is other brothers.while smart but st-pid was stil claiming he was figthing the cause of the junior.at the end it was revealed that all the while it was its own cause he was atually pursueing.what should he do. Remember the prodigal son?.guy i can make an holywood blockbuster out of this story.and whenver idecided to shoot the movie.i will give u a call for the audtion of the role of the smartbut st-pidguy.its possible you might be selected or maybe more better guys with bigoted minds like urs will out smart u.

jejemanito:
It's just an helipad... But then

Do I blame nigerians? NO!

Why?

Because APC taught nigerians on how to feed on destructive criticism and propaganda!!

And PMB's actions and inactions have so far ensured unlimited supply of such 'food'

u keep saying propaganda.what is propaganda?is when facts are distorted.now tell jonas group stealing nigerias money is it a fact or propaganda.claiming nigeria now produces 80% of its rice consumption is it fact or propaganda.the issue is, an helipad is cheap.just 1m-2m atmost.mind u this people dont have a vacation spot like obama's ccamp david.nigeria president use their private home. Have u ever lived in the north? The dust will end cuasing more isseus to the helicopter . cost of maintenace will be high.security issues are also involved. An IED can be planted on a bare ground without the naked eyes knowning .but a properly designated point can be guarded and monitor.even some private buildings and comercial buildings have helipad in lagos.there are comercial/private helipad.the cost of fueling a jet to katsina is more expensive than an helicopter.mind you the remaining fuel in the plane wil stil be discarded after each trip.lets be resonable

An helipad costs less than a million naira to construct depending on the terrain

my guy it seems this barcanista of a guy has really lost it i use to think with time and age people tend to grow more rational.his case seems to be the reverse.i sense a great deal of cognitive decline on how he sees issues.we should be objective . Pdp must get it acts right.barca needs to reinvent him self. I plan opening a tread for serious spiritual deliverance prayer confrence on nairaland for erstwhile progressive who were lured with stomach infrastructure.who sold their hearts for asaro-porriage.many have not realize,while some have but lack courage to return to the truth.some left the right path because of promises of appiontments.

chiefololade:
Most of the people ranting don't know the meaning of helipad

A helicopter landing pad (helipad) is a landing area or platform for helicopters. While helicopters are able to operate on a variety of relatively flat surfaces, a fabricated helipad provides a clearly marked hard surface away from obstacles where a helicopter can land safely.

Cost less than 5 million naira, compare it to cost of fuelling SUVs from Katsina to Daura in four years

guy u are kind of corect.but the actual cost is less than 1m .it is just a concrete hard surface tha is painted in green with an H painted in white on it.people are very myopic.it will only cost more if it is elevated or ontop of a building because of needed reinforcement

seunmsg:
So Saraki is finally feeling the heat? I taught he would continue to grandstand and call the bluff of the party. If he had simply accepted the party decision on the principal officers, all this crisis would have been over. As it is now, even the president has seen that he is an over ambitious guy who can't be trusted. No matter the reconciliation that may be done going forward, he will always have to continuously watch his back against impeachment. The senate is too divided for him to preside over comfortably for the next four years. It will be a miracle if he survives as the senate president for 4 years.

guy u are rite. Lets just watch and see. This is going to be the biggest political game nigeria will ever witness. They will start wit ndume.he is going to be the first casualty.is court case is going to come up.the speed in which he will be convicted wil be schoking

i always wonder why this rubish alwasy gets frontpage

onajo2000:
The National Leader Of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Bola Tinubu have been accused of sponsoring PDP Media Watchdog by Northern Youths Movement (NYM). The group which called for the resignation of President Mohammadu Buhari, Daily Post reports.

The PDP Media Watchdog had called for President Buhari to resign after he said his age -72 years – might hinder his effectiveness in office.

PDP had later denied being affiliated with the group, saying it had no hand in its activities.

However a statement from NYM says “the comment made in South Africa by President Buhari, regarding his age was deliberately hyped by Tinubu’s hatchet men in the media and the call for the president’s registration was aimed at gauging the reaction of Nigerians,” “Also, we are aware that Tinubu’s camp is working on the possibility of President Buhari not completing his term, either due to failing health or death.”

“However, we youths in north are aware of his (Tinubu) plot against the north and we wish to tell him that we are watching.”

“He has failed in his attempt to hijack the National Assembly and use it to impeach President Buhari and we want to assure Tinubu and his cronies that President Buhari will not only complete his tenure, he will go for second term.”

you people will never stop all these rubish.is this how PDP wants to get back to power? My south east bethren. Is tinubu your problem.all kind of concoted lies can not stand.any way we have heared more than this during the campaing. Tinubu and our president cant not have issues and where they do they will sort it out. They are matured.their game is far above what is seen or read on newspapers or what some of this taniods propagate which is majorly lies

$30Bn in foreign reserves.
Who told you FG didn't pay salaries before GEJ left?

my guy arrange ur self .eh did not pay many agencies are still been owed 4 months . The issue some of this saTANiods are having is ur inability to understand the difference btw foreign reseserve and ECA.FR is used to backup are ability to pay for goods and services in the int market. Is not really savings.but rather a show of ur liquidity status. SWF is meant to used in the future,it is never meant to be used.korea as 400bn dollars, angola that just started closed to 50bn.what id 2bn we have .mind you obj left more than that .only for jona to deplete it to this rubish level
