Most of the people ranting don't know the meaning of helipad

A helicopter landing pad (helipad) is a landing area or platform for helicopters. While helicopters are able to operate on a variety of relatively flat surfaces, a fabricated helipad provides a clearly marked hard surface away from obstacles where a helicopter can land safely.

Cost less than 5 million naira, compare it to cost of fuelling SUVs from Katsina to Daura in four years

Helipad home: former NUJ president challenges David Mark to debate

Former national president of Nigerian Union of Journalists, Comrade Lanre Ogundipe has shared a photo of Senate president David Mark’s home in Benue state.

The photo below which Lanre shared on his facebook page, has been described as the country home of David Mark and it has got it’s own landing space for helicopters (helipad).

So why did TANoids not condemn their PDP Senate President for building a customized Helipad with our scarce resources? Hypocrites.

barcanista:
Can we see the proposed cost of the project?

chrisblack:
my guy it seems this barcanista of a guy has really lost it i use to think with time and age people tend to grow more rational.his case seems to be the reverse.i sense a great deal of cognitive decline on how he sees issues.we should be objective . Pdp must get it acts right.barca needs to reinvent him self

You mean it should be submitted to the Nairaland collective children of multiple anger to vet before they can start the job?

Icecomrade:


Nice comparisom to fueling SUVS. Will the helicopter be power with water? Well its okay. Since APC Tanoids has adopted the life style of past pdp leaders as a measurable standard of behaviour and quick to dig out reference in defence of a condemable action. Its all gud, its still a change in strategy. Part of the CHANGE they all voted for

ddippset:
Most of them think a helipad is an airport.

barcanista:
Honestly, I will have no problem with the FG funding the project IF at a reasonable cost. But the timing doesn't look right and makes it look like the comfort and ease of the President is more important than public projects.

To everybody quoting me wrongly, I didn't say they won't fuel helicopter, what I am saying is the cost to build a helipad is reduced compared to the cost of fueling SUVs (jeeps) that will carry him from Katsina, the state capital that has airport to his hometown in Daura. In both cases, fueling of helicopter is compulsory.

9jatatafo:
What about the cost of paying the pilot that will fly it for four years?

eph12:

Same old story you guys have been saying about this guy. What you mean by PDP must get its acts right? Don't know your own definition of opposition but am sure praise singing or ass licking the present administration is definitely not one of them. They're doing their job as an opposition very well as far as am concerned. It's left for the APC to get their acts right and do their job well.

caesaraba:


The presidential fleet already has helicopters which have pilots. It's not like the man is going to buy a new helicopter and all that. I like the zeal people now have to try and checkmate public office holders on spending. It's just that on this one, a lot of people seem not to know (or want to know) what a helipad is. Some think it's an airport. E no cost like that bros.

viktuur:

Presidential system of government is expensive

VIPERVENOM:
An average helipad costs between £8000+£15000 all those ppl mentioning N100m and above are being mischievous by not saying that's the cost of constructing a "heliport"
