Don't run into debt because of ur first trip to naija, be urself

Is this true ?





The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) has acquired a new aircraft for N4 billion ($28 million).

The aircraft, a Gulfstream 4XP, with number 707EA, arrived Lagos from Bahamas last Sunday.

Industry insiders said the Gulfstream 4XP is a transatlantic aircraft that has the capacity of about 15 passengers depending on the configuration.

The church acquired the aircraft years after the General Overseer of Living Faith Worldwide, a.k.a. Winners Chapel, Bishop David Oyedepo, acquired a Challenger aircraft, with number D6640, which was parked a few meters away from Adeboye’s Gulfstream when THISDAY visited the airside of General Aviation Terminal (GAT) yesterday.

A pilot told THISDAY that the aircraft and many others privately owned by Nigerians are not registered with Nigerian code “N” because “they usually say that they chattered it for a while whenever they are questioned. You know Bishop Oyedepo of Winners has been operating this aircraft (pointing to the Challenger) for sometime, but it has remained in foreign registration number.”

THIDAY also learnt that Oyedepo has ordered for another aircraft bigger than the one acquired by Adeboye.

By 2.00 pm yesterday, officials who looked like engineers were seen inspecting the aircraft, which was allowed to rev for hours.

Besides buying the aircraft, a lot of money would be spent in maintaining it and paying the crew, in addition to the landing and parking charges.

Unlike a commercial aircraft which is always in the air, the private jet will spend more time on the ground and must be checked before taking off.

An aeronautical engineer with one of the airlines said besides the mandatory checks, much money would not be spent on its maintenance for now “because it is a new aircraft, but you know that there are rotables which are time-bound parts which are changed regularly.

“The same with refitting parts. These are parts that are changed after every 12 or 15 calendar months whether you are flying or not. So, acquiring a private aircraft means that you are ready to be spending money to keep it going.”

Expressing surprise on the purchase, a former official of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), who craved anonymity, said with the present global economic recession, it was shocking that anyone, even a business man could spend such money on a private aircraft.

He said: “This is unbelievable. You know the amount of poverty in this land, which I know is widespread. How can he acquire such aircraft when he knows that members of his church are suffering?

“Look, even the Pope does not have a private jet. I am a Catholic. It is true that Catholic is the richest church in the world in terms of artefacts but the Pope flies Alitalia. How can the Pope tell the church that he wants a private jet?”

Since 1999, many Nigerians have acquired private aircraft.

I agree with CNN , Lagos is the worst place to work but not on earth. Lagos can still do better l think. Lagos lack everything a city should have so working there would be hell.

Carry Arms to do what na ? Protect poverty abi

Think the British should come back rather than khaki boys

Nigeria that is long time dead , a land that shouldn't be called a country better still should be ruled again by British. Even if you are a professional or bla bla bla gone are the days when everyone should be a professional to survive or make ends meet.That is why we still have some many problems in land called Nigeria and we have a lot to learn. UK or US isn't heaven rightly said but please compare our so called professional with the real professional here abroad.Our professional still need to learn from the original professional except fraud that we need not be thought. Anyone doing professional jobs here should resign,go back home because you can do such jobs in Nigeria, monkey people. If your a cleaner in whatever areas so long it pays your bills and your happy doing whatever your doing, abeg carry on. Non of the so called professional will pay your bills cos no one cares about you. 5% of the population smiling while 95% piling certificate , still no future. Nigeria is good if you have a good job still we have brain drain from western world, why are those brains coming over to UK/US since they have a good job or better P.A income ? We need to wake up in that country

God bless whoever is behind this action. Guess, its the best thing that will come to Lagos state. That market is a shame,

PaBLo(A):
Switzerland, non-racist, Steady Economy, hospitality perfect!,

?

Swiss what when we talk about racist in-fact, its everywhere and its not different in Swiss. Its the only country you will know what is call racialism ,they are racist even a white skin fellow European, say German or Italian or even a french man who reside there can tell you how he or she feel residing in Swiss. Although its a nice small expensive country but its not the best in Europe, l would say one of the Scandic countries, preferably Sweden. Certain points make Sweden the best,

@poster, becareful whenever ur there and l think u can get hotel for less than € 50 per nite.Sorry no link

The issue of electricity should be solved before high speed train or whatever. On which force will such high speed train work with ?They keep fooling the Nigerian people they are suppose to serve, Fela said it all , animals in abada mostly OBJ

If you post more details about her or him, we all know she's going to stay and not just visiting. l "may" help if helping will not end up in trouble.

You don't have to look at it with western way of life. We are Africans and African will always be Africans in-fact, Kenyan men or worst than Nigerian men. Guess we are 100 % better than other African. That guy there is 100 % Naija remember he was visiting unlike you trying to cultivate western ways. Why didn't you help her yourself rather than looking at the man ?

Save yourself the pain and sleepless night counting star above, even in marriage there should be line.Why would you need her password ? Your crazy in-fact

EKENEA:
what is the diamensiom of the building.

, Am not sure if this is what you mean 32.93m X 30.61m X 28.65m X 30.66m ( 100ft X 100ft ) 2 plot. The old plan is with an Architect who should review the plan and update it , so can't say much on dimension.Thanks

Hello Nairalander,

Haven't got any idea about building a house in Nigeria but wish to build one. Recently, l was in Nigeria and got a good offer from a retired Military officer for an uncompleted duplex building ( Decking Level ). After bargain and paper works by my lawyer the place is now mine. Firstly, the land hasn't got Certificate of O. neither is there a survey plan. Secondly, the uncompleted duplex is,4 bedroom,two garage,kitchen. ( Building plan dated 1994 ).Can someone update this building plan to 5 bedroom instead of two garage ? Can l continue with the project then do the paper work at the same time or later ? Or doing the paper work before the project continue ? How much would it cost to deck the duplex and another 5 bedroom with living room at the top ? Its for residential purpose only,thanks for your reply and ideas,

Get ready for stress each day of your three weeks there. Get ready for porthole, polluted air and malaria on your return to the UK. Hang out and have fun while in nigeria, some of the donts are:
Dont argue with the nigerian cops, they are trigger happy
Never stop for no one on da highway as a Mr. Nice guy.
Never eat what you not sure of.
Drink only Eva water
Never sleep with a babe without double jacket, especially in abuja.
Dont expect a change when u buy anything.
Dont act too big to the local people.
some of the do(s) are:
Have fun, make friends, make good connections, don't expect too much, but see nigeria as a land of opportunity.


Expect to stand on the line not less than 60min before you get your passport stamped at the arrival. Do thanks giving when you return

Avoid traveling around (Calabar,ABJ or Jos) cos there is no good road and no safe flight.Catch your fun however.

Its great guess l was in naija when you visited.How is the Uk today

@poster,nice pic and time you had there. When next you visit, am a stone throw away from swiss

OBJ or not, our country lack good road or road network after 1960. I almost missed my flight because of that Lagos / Ibadan expressway ( what is express on the way sef ? ) Porthole every time your trying to change gear and the worst we have monkey as drivers . Trailer,bus or cars. That road is the worst road in Nigeria, may God help us traveling that road each day. Lagos / Ibadan port way is hell way until Jesus come

So many animals on this forum, Fela said it before, well, mamaput you know your own story isn't better than the Nigerian Men here in Germany, your comment suck and it sounds you need a doctor

@poster, wish you fun time here in Germany unfortunately am on my way to Naija .

Nigeria police account section and those top, old ,big stomach who kids fly across Europe and America for shopping or lunch should be checked . Nigerians will never have hope in it police until police reform is done. All the donations from western countries and yearly or monthly allocation to our police force are wrongly managed. We have no police in Nigeria but robbers www.nigeriapolice.org

Pay Tv is about repetition where ever on this earth though better than normal channels however so much Tv watching turns your IQ downwards. A friend of mine said pay Tv is for shift workers,you may not get better than your life sport event, Hack or crack that shit

Great project for the country after a long time but the fact is all the hungry monkey without law and order in their brain will still make the place look like a war zone in a short while.Lets hope it will be managed well and we don't need to burn candle or touch light while waiting to check in or out,

Please can anyone tell me how much would C 180 Benz Classic cost, (tokunbo, 1997 Model ) in Nigeria.Thanks all

Nigerians we are happy to call white ( Black ) instead of saying its white. The poster got some point correct and its 100 % true while few are old fashion. For me Nigerian women at home are totally out of the question, no good blood in them all.No hard feelings to those of you reading this post based in Nigeria. This days marriages don't even last long like the days of our grand fathers, there is no need even thinking of getting into a marriage contract in the first place. Better the American way, make kids and let your baby mama stay apart, NO MARRIAGE, Seen many cases here,guy dating Nigerian ladies for years and finally getting married , relocate the lady abroad and at the end they start growing wings,they really can. This topic is more than we all read and post opinions here, who no go no sabi
