PoliticsRe: Presidential Air Fleet Expenditure 2015 - Presidency by Delafruita(m): 10:35am On Nov 18, 2015
RevDesmondJuju:
what they make for increased passengers they sacrifice for furnishing.

Commercial flights will also have smaller fuel capacities compared to NGR001.

Take off weights between a fully loaded commercial jet will not be different for NGR001
you can have your own opinion but you cannot have your own facts.pray tell how the increased furnishing leads to such an exponential rise in fuel consumption.a jet can be customised to suit the needs of the owner but it doesn't mean the fuel consumption increases like it does with luggage

RevDesmondJuju:
This is not Big Joe Transport.

A commerical variant has to be more commercially viable so cost of operating it per hour will be optimized to be cheaper.

Ode.
a commercial jet has provisions of more seats from 160 and above while a business jet like eagle one can't have more than 50-60 seats.its inconceivable to assume a business jet costs more per flight than a business jet.its outright false.a passenger flight has to input so many fees into its hour such as hangar fees,pilot and flight attendants fees,luggage per passenger and other fees to regulatory and airport agencies.the presidential aircraft doesn't contend with such.it foesnt pay hangar fees neither does it pay pilots since they are seconded from the Nigerian airforce.there is rarely ever any luggage to carry so I would agree with the cost of operation per hour of 4,404doLlars per hour.

I can understand the frustration of nigerians when we hears billions been expended on presidential crafts and I quite agree the PAF should be reduced to a maximum of 2 aircrafts but that doesn't mean we should turn fact on its head.eagle one isn't airforce one which is supposed to be an office on its own and costs $181,000 per hour to operate.but despite its high cost,it is a necessity for the POTUS just as eagle one is a necessity for the office of the president of Nigeria.

so long as you have the proper documents,the major question will be "has the said housing estate been completed and commissioned?".if no,then you will have to wait till it's completed and allocation is done.but before then,you will need to ensure there are proper court documents stating who the beneficiary of his estate is.if the estate has been completed and allocation was done but your father was bypassed,it means some sharp practices took place.with your documents in hand,contact a good lawyer and take up the case and you can be rest assured,you will get the property.

The intent of that bombing(though pathetic) was to send warning to the government and NOT to kill. MEND is known to be issuing warning and alert before their bombing since 2005. The police and DSS were informed, Journalists were sent mails and asked to vacate the Car park and Dust bin areas. Shamefully, nobody acted on the intelligence and it led to loss of valuable lives.


To be candid, I'm not in support of the action of MEND(bombing and attacking State facilities) but it is inappropriate to tag MEND as terrorists. Terrorists primary target is killing people....MEND has no target. Theirs is bombing facilities. Life is precious
is MEND a social group?or a pressure group?or perhaps you consider them a religious organization.

PropertiesRe: Is It Possible To Build A 3 Bedroom Flat With N2million? by Delafruita(m): 8:40pm On Nov 13, 2015
yinkaoke:
PLS HELP

I discussed this with my oga who intends to build his house in 6 months and he siad he will build with just N2m without the cost of the land but that the rooms will not be of a standard one and the 3 rooms too. i.e portable flats.

Please is it possible and can anyone give us the break down of how this is possible. his land is at Agbara

many thnaks
since its excluding the cost of the land,its very possible especially if the land is very dry then he won't need filling.the picture below is a 3bedroom bungalow which is in an area that needed quite a lot of filling sand.as at now,i think we have spent less than 2million and we have finished plastering and fixing the iron doors,burglary proof and windows.the initial estimate for the roof was almost 750k but we were able to reduce that by going to the forest in satellite town to get coconut trees to be sawed into 2x3 and 2x4.that alone reduced the estimate by almost 200k.
So in reality,2million isn't a bad budget but he wwill need to either do the construction himself or put someone he trusts and won't have to pay in charge.

Just imagine what ordinary Cameroon, Benin, Ghana would have by been doing to our people fleeing there for safety. Boko by now would have been declared the official army of the opposition. Honestly we need to appreciate that man GEJ for letting go.

I have a lot of respect for GEJ for accepting defeat even before the final result. For me I think this is patriotism at its height. I know a lot of ex presidents in Nigeria still alive who would have undermined the process for their selfish interest not minding if people would die
For this I salute the man GEJ even though I was his major critic because I wanted him to annihilate boko haram and their backers. I wanted him to deal decisively with the excesses of the CBN gov, the arrogance of some ministers and also prosecute some loud mouthed opposition.
I saw him as a self centered president but all that were wiped off when he let it go for national peace.
why should Assad "bow out" after winning a new 5year term?

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 ??
do former presidents of America use airforce one?president GEJ can only use a jet from the presidential fleet if president Buhari allows it.its called a presidential fleet,not a fleet for all leaders past and present.obasanjo,babangida,gowon etc cannot have access to the presidential fleet and same applies to jonathan.he will definitely be accorded certain number of security personnel as befitting his status as a former leader which is enshrined in the constitution
If indeed,president Jonathan made use of a presidential jet to Tanzania,then credit should go to both he and president Buhari for the spirit of cooperation. This shouldn't be sensationalised

It is not over until it is over. if Wike does not appeal within 21 days, he will remain in office for 21 days. If he appeals, then he would remain in office until the appeal is determined. The Court of Appeal has 60 days from today to determine the appeal.

Whoever is dissatisfied with the decision of the Court of Appeal has 14 days to appeal to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court has 60 days from the date of the judgment of the Court of Appeal to determine the appeal.

Meanwhile, Wike has an interlocutory appeal pending at the Supreme Court challenging the setting up of the Tribunal in Abuja and raising some other critical points. The appeal is for judgment on Tuesday. The judgment may yet change the calculations.
the electoral act as amended in 2011 states that all appeals of governorship elections end at the court of appeal.the supreme court can non longer entertain governorship election cases except pre-election cases

Be a little sensible. What is primary here is the fact that Mrs Harman saw legitimacy and legality in Kanu's action. It propelled her conscience and action. That she represents Kanu's borough was irrelevant as she wouldn't stick out her head if Kanu's activities were against the law. Come on, what is central here is whether Kanu acted legally within an international law which Nigeria was/is a signatory. And which the Dullard himself reaffirmed in his September address to the UN.

On point 28 of his address to the UN, Buhari said, "...Neither do we have the moral right to deny any people their right to freedom or condemn them to a permanent occupation" Even as you know that such a people are also backed by internaional law. Major media houses in the world have carried the news of Kanu's arrest, everything they wrote was in his favor.




The last time i checked Michael Adebolajo had a British rep of his borough. Why didn't he speak for him?
I guess comprehension of basic English is a problem for certain people.if not,I wonder how anyone in his right senses will call that letter of inquiry a petition.the MP is duty-bound to make such inquiries when she is notified that a British citizen resident in her borough has been imprisoned outside Britain.she clearly stated in her letter that she will like to know why he was imprisoned and the details of the process.how does that become a petition?she didn't even ask for his release neither did she make any request of intervention from Hammond's office.she simply asked for information on the details and some ignorant people think that's proof that their director is connected internationally?this borders on poverty of the mind

Unless that threat was actually carried out, it will not even reach court. Nigerians seem not to understand that you can't charge a person to court for a crime that was never committed in first place. It doesn't matter if Nnamdi Kanu threatend Nigeria or anyone, what matters is if he carried out the threat.
what sort of senselessness is this?perhaps you don't know Nigeria has passed its antiterrorism law and according to that law,just thinking about committing a crime or inciting others to commit a crime related to terrorism is treason.not to mention actively encouraging people to kill and maim people.the law now seeks to prevent crimes from been committed by nabbing the would be terrorists before they strike.

I am even surprised KANU was granted bail.he should have been held for 2days,allowed a visit by his attorney and then held indefinitely which would be in accordance with the anti terrorism law of 2011.

all those biafrans that keep listing the examples of Scotland and Catalonia while at the same time advocating violence against the Nigerian state are as ignorant as the people of south Sudan.did Scotland engage in threats of violence?has Catalonia called Spain a zoo with people from other parts been animals?

advocates of a war of secession shouldn't compare 2015 with 1967.in 1967,ojukwu was a GOC of a section of the army with control over arms and men,a pogrom had just happened and tensions were high which saw massive influx of Igbo's back to the southeast which made a large pool of able bodied men available for drafting into the biafran army.this is 2015.we are in a democracy which means the president has absolute control over the military so unless there is a plan for a coup by the Igbo's,followed by a massive return of all Igbo's to the east,I wonder what Magic the ipob expect to perform militarily.

Scotland isn't a good example for biafrans because Scotland already had its own government.it simply wanted to leave the united kingdom and be on its own.and for those ipob people who don't know,the scottish move failed because of the Scots who live within Scotland majority of who are connected to the business of scotch which in reality is almost every major business in Scotland.there are laws in place which were enacted by the united kingdom to protect the scotch industry by making it the exclusive preserve of the people of Scotland to produce Scotch within the UK and all over Europe and the Americas.there were fears that if Scotland breaks away,Salmon and his new government won't have the clout to maintain those treaties which will mean scotch could be produced everywhere else.a move which will destroy the Scottish economy.
I believe a referendum for Biafra will fail just like scotland because those Igbo's who maintain their livelihood in other parts of the country will vote against it.even the Igbo's within proposed Biafra who depend moving their goods to other parts of Nigeria will. vote against it because a break means more conditions before they can sell their goods.

PoliticsRe: Learn About Screening Ministers, According To The Nigeria Constitution by Delafruita(m): 5:19am On Oct 21, 2015
tinkinjow:
section 147(6) empowers the President to ratify the
nominees if the Senate fails to confirm them after 21 days of
submission of their names to the Senate.

Not that simple.

My friend stop twisting facts, I'm no lawyer but law to a very large extent is a readable subject.
The constitution did not say if the Senate fails to confirm just like that but if it fails to return the nominee - "....where no return has been received..." that ll imply for whatever reason the senate couldn't communicate its stand on any nominee to the president.

So in the event of a return being made, the nominee stands rejected and the president has no power at all other than send a new nominee. Simple.
Why do I feel u r the one trying to confuse people here.

and on the issue of two consenting senators from a nominee state, whether that actually take place or not, when the senate returns a nominee, it does so as the Senate as a whole and not as two senators, especially where it is not explicitly stated (as i assume) what numbers is required to confirm a nominee.
It ll be difficult to prove in court that a nominee was rejected by two senators except majority of them follow u to court or by signature.
the law isn't difficult to interprete but at the same time,it shouldn't be interpreted literarily.wherever the constitution says "where no return has been received/made" it simply means where no response has been gotten,the action for which the response was sought can proceed.there cannot be a lacuna.so if the senate doesn't confirm or reject amaechi after 21 working days,the president can proceed to make him a minister.
It's the same with when the senate sends a bill for the president's assent,even if he witholds assent after 21days,the bill becomes law if after another round of debate on the floor of the senate it garners a 2/3 majority vote and the signature of the president isn't needed anymore.

Hope this explains it
