Politics#changebeginswithme: FG Spends N5bn On Presidential Fleet In 15 Months by Hollawaley(op): 6:57pm On Sep 11, 2016
I Saw This On Omojuwa's Blog;
Despite the biting economic recession in the country, the Federal Government has spent the sum of N5bn on the 10-aicraft Presidential Air Fleet in the last 15 months, document obtained exclusively from the Presidency by Saturday punch has revealed.
According to the document, the Presidency put the amount of money so far released for the Presidential Air Fleet since the inception of the current administration in May 2015 till date in the region of N5bn.
The breakdown of the sum showed that N2.3bn was released for PAF by the Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation between May and November 2015.
That figure included releases for personnel costs, overheads and capital expenditures; out of the N5.19bn appropriated for PAF in the 2015 budget.
Of the sum, the Presidency said N99.715m was spent on aircraft maintenance, spares and subscription services.
The sum of N98.5m was also spent on operations; N165.373m on training and N85.5m on personnel medicals and overheads.
During the period, the document claimed that PAF spent N1.350bn to settle outstanding liabilities carried over from 2014 while N500m was refunded to the NSA for financial support rendered for the maintenance of the Fleet prior to release of funds.
According to findings from aviation experts, however, the Federal Government may have spent about N19.9bn on the 10-aircraft PAF in the last 15 months of President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration.
The large-size PAF inherited from the former President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration is the second largest airline in the country, coming after Arik Air which has 23 aircraft in its fleet.
According to experts’ estimated projections of expenses made in line with the cost of running and maintaining airplanes, about $65.13m (N19.9bn), using the official exchange rate of N305.5 per dollar, may have been spent on the 10-aicraft presidential fleet between May 29, 2015 and August 29, 2016.
According to the Presidency, the PAF contains 10 aircraft. These are: Boeing Business Jet (Boeing 737-800 or AirForce One), one Gulfstream 550, one Gulfstream V (Gulfstream 500), two Falcons 7X, one Hawker Sidley 4000, two AgustaWestland AW 139 helicopters and two AgustaWestland AW 101 helicopters. Each of the two Falcon 7X jets were purchased in 2010 by the Federal Government for $51.1m, while the Gulfstream 550 costs $53.3m, a former Minister of Information, the late Pro. Dora Akunyili, had said.
The price of other aircraft in the fleets could not be ascertained. But according to Wikipedia, price.wescrawler. com and airline executives, the factory price of other aircraft in the fleet are: Boeing Business Jet, $59m; HS 4000, $22.9m; AgustaWestland 139, $12m; and AgusatWestland 101, $21m.
This brings a combined estimated value of Nigeria’s PAF to $347.4m (N106.13bn).
According to airline chief executives and industry experts, airlines spend between 15 and 20 per cent of the cost of an aircraft on its operation yearly.
They explained that averagely, a little less than one-fifth of the cost of the plane is spent every year on insurance, flight and cabin crew, maintenance, fuelling, catering and training.
Using a conservative percentage of 15 per cent, it means that about $52.11m (N15.92bn) must have been spent on the presidential fleet by May 29, 2016.
A quarter of the annual maintenance cost ($52.11 or N15.92bn) would also have been spent to maintain the 10-aircraft in the presidential fleet in three months after May 29, if the Federal Government followed experts’ recommendation on maintenance of its air fleet.
This means that between June and August this year, an additional $13.02m (N3.98bn) would have been spent in principle to maintain the 10-aicraft presidential fleet.
It means, all things being equal, between May 29, 2015 and August 29, 2016 (15 months), the Presidency would have spent $65.13m (N19.9bn) to maintain the 10-aicraft presidential fleet.
Though the amount ought to have been N12.8bn, the depreciation of the naira from 197/dollar to 305.5/dollar at the official interbank market raised the amount to N19.9bn. This indicates an increase of 45 per cent.
Aviation experts told Saturday PUNCH that depreciation in naira value had made the cost of maintaining airplanes to go up astronomically.
This, they argued, was because airline and aircraft maintenance expenses were denominated in dollars.
They therefore urged the President o reduce the size of the PAF as soon as possible.
The General Secretary, Aviation Round Table, an industry pressure group, Group Captain John Ojikutu, said Buhari needed to reduce the PAF and sell aircraft belonging to most of the Ministries, Departments and Agencies.
He said, “It is high time the Presidency reduced the number of aircraft in that fleet. We can’t be spending our scarce forex to maintain a large fleet of 10 aircraft.”
A few weeks after his inauguration, Buhari had reportedly ordered the immediate disposal of some of the planes in the PAF.
However, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, later denied knowledge of such directive.
“The story of the order for the sale of aircraft in the Presidential Fleet, about which so much interest is being expressed, is not known to us,” Shehu had said.
Other aviation experts and Nigerians had called on the President to reduce the fleet.
A former Assistant General Secretary, Airline Operators of Nigeria, Mr. Muhammed Tukur, said the aircraft could be sold to both airline operators and private individuals who could use them for commercial purposes.
He said that this could generate more revenue and create jobs.
Nigeria happens to be one of the few countries with a large PAF.
Most major countries in Europe and Asia maintain two aircraft in their PAF. According to Wikipedia, Japan maintains only two Boeing 747-400 planes in its PAF.
Netherlands government operates only two aircraft, a Fokker 70 and Gulfstream IV to transport the Dutch Royal family and government officials such as the Prime Minister and other ministers.
The Queen of England and the UK’s Prime Ministers often go on British Airways chartered flights for long trips.
Countries like Ghana, Algeria and a host of others in Africa maintain only one aircraft in their PAF.
Reacting to the development, Chairman, Coalition Against Corrupt Leaders, Mr. Debo Adeniran, said spending a whopping N5bn on maintenance of 10 aircraft at a time when many states “cannot pay salaries and dozens of families going hungry across most parts of the country is insensitive and a hallmark of an anti-people regime.”
While condemning the All Progressives Party-led Federal Government for engaging in the same ‘sins’ it accused the ousted Goodluck Jonathan’s administration for, Adeniran said the high level of waste on the part of the government in the face of hunger wasn’t what Nigerians yearned for while electing Buhari.
He said, “Spending that type of money on maintenance of aircraft is not the best at this time. It is profligacy, it is unnecessary and smacks of insensitivity on the part of the regime that is supposed to effect positive change in the lives of the people.
“A few days ago the Federal Government launched the ‘Change begins with me’ campaign but I disagree with the government that because it is like shifting the goalpost to Nigerians. This administration has not shown us that it has good plans. All the policies that have been implemented so far – both fiscal and monetary – are anti-people. This is not the type of government that we yearned for.
“They criticised Goodluck Jonathan of keeping a large fleet of aircraft but they are also doing the same thing. I think Buhari is alone in his anti-corruption fight because most of his cabinet members have not been able to detach themselves from the lifestyle of the past regime.
A former Governor of old Kaduna State, Alhaji Balarabe Musa, said President Buhari administration “is as wasteful as the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan.”
He also asked the President to sell some of the jets in order to minimise wastage.“They should sell off some of the jets in order to reduce wastage of our economic resources and also to demonstrate the change they are talking about,” he said.
Meanwhile, on Thursday, Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity to the President, Presidential Garba Shehu, hinted that there was a committee already deliberating on trimming the presidential fleet.
He made the revelation in a reaction to a tweet by blogger, Japheth Omojuwa, who asked why the Presidency has yet to reduce the 10 aircraft on its fleet.
“There is a government committee already in place, working to reduce the number of aircraft in the presidential fleet,” Shehu said

TravelKenyan Police Chopper Crashes (Photos, Video) by Hollawaley(op): 9:42pm On Sep 08, 2016
A police chopper bought at more than Sh680 million crashed Thursday evening, leaving four police officers on board seriously injured.

The chopper was overflying Mathare slums when it crashed within the National Youth Service field at about 4pm. The chopper which was unveiled in April this year at the National Police Service Airwing was badly damaged. Police said the four officers on board were on routine patrols in the city when the incident happened.


Officials said there were three officers and an engineer from the manufacturing company- Augusta Westlands, an Italian Company.

Those at the scene said the pilot tried to make a hard landing on the field when it went down headfirst before landing on its back.

This is the second police chopper to crash in less than a month.


A Bell type chopper crashed within Wilson Airport on August 22, injuring two including an instructor.

When the second one crashed Thursday, senior police officers led by Nairobi police boss Japheth Koome and head of police airwing Rodgers Mbithi rushed to the scene and ordered the area be cordoned.


It was not immediately clear what caused the incident.

This incident leaves the police without an operational chopper. The chopper from Augusta Westlands, an Italian Company had boosted police operations in the country with even some politicians booking it for their political trips.

It had increased the capacity and improved police ability to quickly move troops to any trouble spot and generally improve their mobility.


The crashed chopper had a capacity of 15 passengers and could take off and land on autopilot.

The Augusta Westlands, an Italian Company was paid Sh683 million in the 2014/2015 financial year for the helicopter that can cruise up to 300kph.

Interior Cabinet Secretary Joseph Nkaissery praised the chopper as the best for the police service when it was unveiled.

As part of the deal to acquire the chopper, 10 pilots and six engineers were trained for three months at the manufacturer's headquarters in Italy.


The chopper is a twin-engine helicopter that has an endurance of six hours, which means it can remain airborne for at least six hours without refueling. It has a capacity for a vertical takeoff with just one engine with a full load at high altitudes.

Warning: graphic images. Viewer discretion advised.
A fully conscious greyhound dog is carried over to the vat by a man, and dropped into the boiling water. As the dog screams in agony and wails for mercy, two men drop a cover over the top of the vat and hold a bamboo pole over it to keep the cover from being forced off by the flailing dog desperate to escape the pain.
The video shows a number of spectators, who can be heard laughing as the dog screams in pain while being boiled alive. The laughter adds to the horrific and heartless act by these men. There is nothing which can justify this type of brutal crude barbarism.

This atrocity took place on Shijiazhuang, the capital of North China’s Hebei Province, with a population of just under 2 million people.

CrimeThe Power Of Weed! Hilarious Video Of A Young Man Smoking Marijuana by Hollawaley(op): 12:10pm On Sep 08, 2016
A video making the rounds on social media has shown a man doing what has left many people holding their sides from laughter.

This is the video that has caused quite a stir on social media.

Intended as a comic relief of some sort, the video has got people laughing hard online.

In the video, a young man is seen entering a secluded place to smoke “weed”.

He is clad in what resembles a school uniform.

As soon as he enters the secluded area away from sight, he drops his bag, removes his clothes and brings out his weed to smoke.

Soon he finishes and then the trouble began. The young man, obviously high on the weed, begins to wear his clothes back but in not in the same way he wore them in.

Instead of putting on his shirt on his trunk and his trousers on his legs, he goes on to wear them the other way round.

The video is undoubtedly a lighthearted way of showcasing the evils and dangers of smoking marijuana.

The rapper was shooting a video for an undisclosed single, at the Afrinolly studios in Lagos, when he received a pleasant surprise. But a specific surprise came to Nigerian Hip-hop artiste, Illbliss, whose music video was crashed by Zuckerberg.

The rapper was shooting a video for an undisclosed single, at the Afrinolly studios in Lagos, when he was interrupted by Zuckerberg, who was on a tour of the facility. The video shoot was paused, as Illbliss and Mark engaged in a 10 minute conversation about Nigerian music, and other matters.

Zuckerberg mentioned the moment in a post on Facebook:

“Visited Nollywood, crashed a hip hop music video, and met some of Nigeria's biggest stars,” he wrote.

Illbliss is working on a new album which will be released this month. A tentative unofficial title of the project has filtered to the media as “Illygatti”. The video interrupted by Zuckerberg is off the album.
The rapper recently sparked fears of a retirement, when he let loose some cryptic message on Instagram. “Thank you all for being with me through this amazing musical journey...Goodbye...to the game...I'm gone...Next Chapter", he wrote.
Illbliss is the owner of talent management outfit, The Goretti Company, which is responsible for launching the careers of Phyno and Chidinma.
