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

This post is totally misleading with it's heading. I know your intention is tailored towards the absurd amount spent on procuring a Presidential plane given the economic conditions and impact on the people.

Now note that a 34 year old US Presidential Airplane otherwise called AirForce One must have underwent a complete overhauling both in both parts due to wear and tear and most especially technology gadgets for security purposes within the plane and outside for the safety of the inhabitants of the plane while in the air. This plane is originally a brand new.

The Presidential Airplane always procured for the GCON is always a USED plane and upgraded to meet certain specifications by the handlers of the president. Those who are entrusted with this procurement are the ones feeding fat on the excess amount lumped to purchase such airfcraft.

Some Nigerians and mediocre comparisons...

Why would you compare American standard with Nigerian standard?

Shallow-minded Hoebeediients.
Because you ape the American presidential system of gov’t and use it to ‘justify’ all manner of profligacy and expenses!

It should be clear to all by now that Tinubu and his band of thieves have nothing upstairs and nothing to offer Nigerians! They just wanted to capture the office of president just so Tinubu can tick the box that he was president and enjoy the effizy and criminal acquisition of wealth that comes with the position! All his travels so far, how have they benefited Nigeria!?

Bola likes anything French and since Airbus manufacturing plant is domicile in France it makes it easier for routine maintenance of the said aircraft. And since he regularly frequent France for medical tourism, as he is maintaining himself, he can also use the opportunity to maintain the aircraft as well.

Even the Booing 757 owned by Donald Trump is 33years at Present. After he bought the plane fairly used, he refurbished it by changing the engine to that of Rolls Royce.

One thing about aircraft it isn't about the age but how often it is maintained. Bola's grotesque obsession for opulence is just so confounding. First it was Presidential yacht, Bullet proof Cadillac Escalade, and now an aircraft.

RepoMan007:
Nigerians will bare the pain.
With cups and congos of rice palliatives, like the featherless and bloodied chicken in Stalin's Stockholm syndrome example huh

Makavelli001:
🙊 During the Soviet dictatorship of Joseph Stalin. He was a brutal dictator with a mind of his own.

On one fateful day, Stalin came to a Politburo meeting with a live chicken.

Standing in front of an audience, He started to pluck the feathers of the live chicken off one by one.

🚩The chicken trembled in pain, blood tricking out of its pores. It gave out grievous cries, but Stalin being a cruel dictator continued without remorse plucking the feathers out until the chicken was completely naked. After which, he threw the chicken on the ground.

🚩The naked chicken was staggering in pain. Stalin goes into his pocket and from his pockets, he took out some chicken food and started to throw it at the poor & helpless creature.

🚩The poor chicken in pain started eating and Stalin started walking toward his seat. As he walked away, he kept dropping some feeds on the floor & the chicken followed him and sat feeding from his feet.

📍Joseph Stalin then turned to members of his political party leadership.

🚩He said, "This chicken represents the people".

🚩"You must disempower them, brutalise them, beat them up, starve them and then leave them".

🚩"If you do this, go into your pocket & give them peanuts when they are in that helpless and desperate situation, they will blindly follow you for the rest of their life, worshipping you".
🚩"They will think you are a hero forever. They will forget that you're responsible for their sorrowful situation in the first place."

😇 Breathtaking, isn't it?

🙋‍♂ Now! Take a look at all the people some Nigerians are busy defending on social media.
🚩Take a look at those they call their heroes.

🚩They are the same people who plunged Nigeria into the situation she is.
🚩They are the same people who are responsible for their predicaments.

🚩Your guess is as good as mine. And the likes of many others, we all know about.
📍Nigerians kill those they should defend and defend those they should kill! 🙉

Someone bought a Rolls Royce vehicle another bought a Toyota Corolla..

Where is the comparison?!
The Rolls can last a Hundred year while the Japanese car?! haaaa.

US President is using a Rolls Royce of Aircraft.
Air Force 1 Aircraft is not a mate of Boeing.
Typical Nigerian callous beer parlor talk, loud with no substance. So Boeing is not the mate of Boeing?! or who do you think produced the plane?! smh. Shows you didnt even read the article as the new plane is an Airbus, so Boeing v Airbus is what u were going for. Educate urself damn.

Nigeria is a sovereign Nation for godsake
lets use your line of thought to explore some of the things you have said.

in what instances has NIgerian FG fared better?

whose money was used to procure this plane?

did the owners of the money agree that the plane should be purchased with their money?

did tinubu get the requisite budgetary and legislative approval needed before procuring the plane?

tinubu asked nigerians to sacrifice. why did he not sacrifice presidential jet?

is it a must that he should travel?

of what benefit will his travelling to different countries be to nigerians?

The Air Force 1 is not a 34 year old plane because it's was upgraded with 1.3B USD in 2020 and the white house has placed orders for a new one at 5B USD which will be delivered in 2027.
Poverty is a bad thing how dear you compare the US Air Force 1 ($5B) with a air craft 150 B NGN undecided .
After all the newly acquired aircraft is not PBAT property bcs he is not taking it with him out of the officeundecided

Why deceiving the people that you bought new plane then?

Lying like your principal who claimed he graduated from government college Lagos four years before its existence?

I think lying is in your genes. Refurbished plane sold for $100million and maintenance $50million. And you still support such fraudulent leader.

You people needs to be studied why you are always gullible.
