Ok


No matter the level of evil or corruption being perpetuated by Nigerian politicians\leaders, there will always be a Nigerian supporting them ..unfortunately, this same Nigerian will be dragging front seat, sandwiched between the driver, another Nigerian in front seat of mini-buses that don't even have space and be loaded like olden days sardine

The pilots may not have training on the latest aircraft systems which is very risky

meum:
Same thing I asked when they boldly said they changed the plane because it was 19 years old. Meanwhile it’s still an old plane they bought for $100M & refurbished for $50M.
Hmmmm!

Excerpt culled from this website says:

Aircraft lifespan varies significantly. On average, airlines keep planes for 20-25 years before retiring them. However, this can differ based on the type of airline and region. Full-service carriers often boast newer fleets, averaging around six to eight years, as they prioritise passenger comfort and fuel efficiency, and they often have deep pockets and supportive shareholders. In contrast, some low-cost carriers, especially in developing regions, operate older aircraft to keep costs low. Older aircraft are generally safe, however, thanks to rigorous maintenance and safety checks mandated by aviation authorities worldwide. Yet, the perception of safety can be a concern for passengers.

Irrelevant comparison from an irrlevant group

Since when did we start comparing every single act of our Govt to that of the U.S

Even in cases where our FG fared better, negativists would still call it propaganda

Buy the plane at an inflated price.

Then sell the other jet fleet to family and friends at a very low price.

Sales reps of both deals are affiliated to family and friend.

In the end, BAT, family and friends smile to the bank.

Scam Nigerians again.

Their homeless supporter are twitting to discuss the strategic benefits of this outrageous scam.

Sovereign nation proposing to borrow $500 million US Dollars the same week the its President unvailed a 950 million naira worth of escalade made in the US and an Airbus valued at over #150 billion naira with two other planes in the presidential air fleet trapped in France over $75 million judgment debt while the hunger ravages people to the point that some in Kano ate a dinner of fertilizer. Disgrace of nation.

Ignorance dey worry u and all obidient including your messiah peter.

Can Nigeria spend 283,000,000 million naira per hour to maintain it presidential plane like Air force one


The US Air Force currently maintains and operates two VC-25A aircraft (heavily modified Boeing 747–200) that are commonly used as Presidential transports.

Replacement cost for each of these aircraft is somewhere around $325 million dollars, and somewhere around $177,000 per hour to operate
