President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday appeared in a new 2019 Mercedes-Maybach s650 bullet-proof car, which an expert says it is worth at least N280million.

In 2018 budget, N907m was earmarked by Mr Buhari for a phased acquisition of new vehicles and spare parts in the presidential fleet during the year, while in 2019 budget the president set aside N843 million for purchase and maintenance of motor vehicles for the year.

An online newspaper earlier on Wednesday put the price of the car, which they erroneously described as 2019 Mercedes-Benz S-Class S 560, at $170,000 (N61million).

But an exotic car dealer who had previously supplied vehicles to the presidency spoke to DAILY NIGERIAN on the condition of anonymity, saying the car is 2019 Mercedes-Maybach S650 bullet-proof.

According to him, if the car is factory armoured, it could cost up to $1million (N360million) as it is not a base model. “Even if the treatment (installation of bullet-proof glasses/panels) is done in the aftermarket, the price for a customised version like that will be around $800,000,” said the expert.

“In the aftermarket, the cost of installing bullet-proof for that type of vehicle is around N80m. These kind of vehicles are insanely expensive. Even the wheels alone can cost up to $30,000 each.”

He told DAILY NIGERIAN that an order for a new Mercedes-Maybach S-Class was placed by former President Goodluck Jonathan in 2015 at the cost of $280million after some defects were detected in the armour of the 2014 Mercedes-Benz s600 he was using.

“If the price at that time was N280m, how much do you think it will cost today, considering the prevailing exchange rate?”

He said with Mr Buhari’s appearance in the new vehicle, it is apparent the president had dropped the defective 2014 Mercedes Benz s600 bequeathed to him by Mr Jonathan.

The expert however said it is unclear whether the order was cancelled or a fresh one was made by Mr Buhari, who initially insisted on using it despite the defect.

According to him, when Mr Buhari was first sworn-in as president in 2015, he placed embargo on purchase of new vehicles for the presidential fleet. “The embargo had to be lifted because of the vehicles inherited are either not mechanically sound or had issues with their security,” said the source.

He added the presidency also purchased a new bullet-proof BMW 7 Series to complement the president’s staff car.

According to a review by caranddriver.com, the 2019 Maybach S-class cars have 621-hp twin-turbo 6.0-liter V-12 engine, which provides “effortless motivation”.

“They are best enjoyed from the rear seat, where passengers can stretch out and relax on hot-stone-style massaging leather recliners and enjoy the Burmester audio system while an atomizer fills the cabin with one of Maybach’s five signature fragrances,” a review by Drew Dorian of Buyer’s Guide said.

“The Maybach models ride on a wheelbase that’s 7.9 inches longer than the Benz-branded S-class cars and nearly all of that extra length is dedicated to the rear seat to create an extra-spacious environment. That’s not to say that the front seat isn’t luxurious.

“The driver and front-seat passenger are treated to most of the same luxuries—including the massaging seats—and the dashboard’s dual 12.3-inch digital displays provide access to the car’s infotainment system.

“A host of driver-assistance features are available including an adaptive-cruise-control system that uses navigational data to slow the car down in preparation for corners and an automatic lane-change feature that watches for gaps in traffic and merges the S-class when it’s safe to do so.”

My wife has been really helpful from when we started dating, she has actually taken me from grass to grace and helped me from a self contained to a 3bedroom flat. She has been helping with house expenses for over a year now, I do work but my salary is very small, just around 60k.

She is into business which flourished so much but it's a little down for now. She helped made our marriage possible by contributing far more than i. She is every woman's dream and is even poised to help me secure a better job and a side business.

I have also contributed my part in helping her grow her business though not financially but through technical support, expert advice and more as she just started her business the very month we started dating but though in a small way with very little capital.

I feel I have over burdened her with my own problem and she is carrying way too much on her shoulders cos her parents and siblings are also depending on her.
I felt a pinch of her frustration when I asked her if she could help transfer a little sum of 200 naira to me for airtime, she was about doing it when I told her I actually wanted to send the amount as airtime to my dad,then she flared up saying she will take care of me, herself and even my parents! I felt bad and terrible cos I rarely ask her for money to send to my people except on very rare occasions which are but a few.

I kept mute and didn't feel like talking to her and we haven't exchanged a proper conversation since last night when it happened.
. .
What do I do? Even when I try to initiate a conversation, she doesn't seem interested

she's stretched thin, there's something going on in her mind, when a woman stops talking to you she's about to make a horrible decision, I better massage her and pet her to confession, let her vet the anger and you should shut the f#ckup never to reply, then make up with outings and gifts, a shoe and a bag will do. next time know her limits and don't thin her out.

whats that house boy doing there

use your head man next time she misbehaves, keep calm and wait till she's in need of sex , only then can you unleash rage with your di*k, then you pound her to submission, it's a trick that makes women kneel to u in the morning and greet you sir, never beat a woman, theres a part of a woman's brain that's empty it only records and keeps beatings and pains and they don't forget it, it's God's way of controlling we men against abusing a woman, the consequences are dangerous when a woman is set on revenge, never give her the opportunity to set her path on revenge, go back and beg her if it means you hurting your self please do and stay married, without her you are irresponsible and not a complete man, no matter how bad, and start something in your life even if it's helping her wash dishes in her restaurant just contribute to the success of the family, stay blessed

simple, a man with good intents, let's see what apc has, next level of suffering

see frameup, that her ex should be visited, quickly

incompetence is now a national virtue, a call of duty and sacrifice is now seen as foolery and a waste of one's life and time, our soldiers die daily and yet no war plan, even as an ex general we still don't have a war plan against Boko Haram, may God help those answering the call beyond duty in bornu, as for the the Armed Forces all we can do is pray for them

jackass or bloody swine

rubbish, no Benz! it's like masturbation no babe no orgasm
