We're the most populous African country, African country with the highest number of dollar billionaires and literally the richest country in West Africa. We also have at least 40% of the world's richest pastors - all of whom have a private jet. It's mathematically appropriate.

However, it's a bit surprising that South Africa doesn't come top considering it harbours more dollar millionaires than Nigeria.
South Africans obviously have a different value system than we have, which is why they don’t drink water from shitty boreholes three decades after apartheid ended, unlike us after almost three decades of democracy.

The federal government is not responsible for water supply in cities and towns. This is the responsibility of states.

It is by far better than Enugu.

500 gallons of water go for N20k. Multiply by 4 in a month, that's N80k. By extrapolation, that's N960k in a year on water alone. Why? Because the governor believes that clean and accessible water is the least of his worries. Yet they prance around like Enugu is Abuja even though the red muddy soil will have residents looking like they went tomb-raiding at night.

But then, considering where it was before Peter Mba, one can understand the accolades being that he moved the town from 16th Century to 17th Century but not anywhere near 20th Century. 21st Century is a stretch. EEDC? The worst of all.

The Permanent Secretary, Office of Drainage Services and Water Resources in Lagos State, Mahmood Adegbite, has said that people drilling borehole in the Lekki axis of the state is probably drinking ‘’shit water.”

While speaking at a stakeholders meeting in the state recently, Adegbite noted that contaminated boreholes in Lekki pose health risk and added that treatment of waste water would eradicate any form of disease that may arise from it.

He said, “On waste water treatment, I will say that everyone digging borehole within the Lekki axis is probably drinking what I will call ‘shit water.’

With one of the worst standard of leaving in Africa........Is the highest ownership of private jet an achievement? It shows how corrupt Nigeria is.......

Nah, this is nothing worthy of celebration.

How does a nation that does not rank in the top five for number of airports in Africa have so many private jets?

“Nigeria officially has the highest number of private jets in Africa with nearly 240 presently operating within the country and so much foreign currency is repatriated weekly from the country for the maintenance of these aircraft.”

So in your mind, in a country filled with EXTREME poverty, it is right that they fly private jets from ordinary Lagos to Ibadan, like Jesus did abi?

While I am not in support of that, there aren't the reason for the poverty.
Re: Nigeria Has Highest Number Of Private Jets In Africa (240) by judewrites: 12:14pm On Jul 11
Maintenance of a private jet on its own is very expensive.

So to fly one means you are very rich.

Ironically a country counted as having among the poorest has the highest number of PJ.

This is not true. South Africa was reported to have over 400 private jets as December 2025.

Nigerians are quick to evaluate successes with a minister talking about the number of private jets,the farming system is not discussed,but the Niger delta region exploited by non members to grow farms of private jets is in squalors and degràdation with a good number of private and public poors.
And who told you Niger delta people are not among private jet owners?

Who told you most rich people are into Oil? Davido Papa get private jet, yet he’s not on to Oil & Gas..

Well informed people will just be laughing at you bro..

It is good to have Money 🤑💰 to Buy them ,But Where are the Billionaires Businesses - that the Millions Of Our Youths Can get Employed ⁉️
Many Nigerian Billionaires Are Just -for Show - as Many Cannot Tell NIGERIANS their Sources Of Income - and so,the the World 🌍 do not value them,nor recognized them.
-For example - Some Are Billionaires because they Were Footsoldiers to FORMER'- Military and POLITICIANS,So Nothing Special to write about them!
But Few of them have Genuine Income to be reconed with !
For instance - Imagine how Elon Musk - became so rich ?
Imagine how Dangote or Otedola - became rich.
So,if they like to have Private Jet- why Not ?
But Name those Politicians whom you know to be Billionaires - Flying jet or Private Aeroplane ✈️, Wouldn't you Ask him to tell his Source of Legitimate Income?

This kind information is why you shouldn’t be surprised. Reality is different from propaganda..

SA doesn’t have more dollar millionaires than Nigeria. Infact, they don’t come close..

There are more dollar millionaires in Lekki than the entire SA! Only Lekki oo… No need of going even further..

https://www.henleyglobal.com/publications/africa-wealth-report-2025/africas-wealthiest-countries

Henley studies everything about the rich. Lekki that doesn't harbour five million people has more dollar millionaires than Africa's advanced economy with over 40 million people?

Let's fear God in our utterances, please.

We're not the richest people. Only people with political connections become rich in Nigeria.

There is a difference between 'private jet' 'band 'corporate jet'.

Private means personal just as a private residence or private automobile with gree number plates (in Nigeria)

A corporate jet' can be privately owned but it can also be registered as belonging to an enterprise and used privately or as an air taxi just as automobile taxis with red coloured numbered plates.

They all benefitted directly or indirectly from the corrupt system.

You don't get wealthy in Naija legitimately.
Re: Nigeria Has Highest Number Of Private Jets In Africa (240) by iamjavadem(m): 12:49pm On Jul 11
Look at you. Profits plenty. Watched on youtube why companies buy/hire private jets, it actually saves cost if they travel alot. So its not really a luxurybut a necessityfor some.
helinues:
Can the AMCO people afford a private jet? How much profits are they making in comparison with the maintenance of a private jet
Re: Nigeria Has Highest Number Of Private Jets In Africa (240) by Artsbeat(m): 1:15pm On Jul 11
Parking space alone;
helinues:
Most of it are used for either money laundering or drug transportation .

Parking lot for private jet alone, you just have to have active business which required travelling a lot and also be making money on the trips. The amount a pilot charge per flying not to talk of the air hostess

If you didn't know before now you know

These ones are capitalists who benefitted and still benefitting from government waivers and favors at the detriment of the common ordinary Nigerian.

Re: Nigeria Has Highest Number Of Private Jets In Africa (240) by MightySparrow: 1:33pm On Jul 11
Oh God, please give me a my own private jet. At least one.

The number will not be complete without my own oh God. My Father

This I ask in Jesus name.
Amen.
