Some people will still come here now and shout, " give us video clip, audio interview, documents and other evidences of Buhari's directives against first class travelling" undecided

Airlines at their own discretion will sometimes bump some passengers to a higher class without cost. This has personally happened to me a few times.

What many Nigerians dont understand about that directive is that the Federal Government does not want to see 'First Class or Business Class Tickets' on the expense sheet of any Government ministry. Meaning if the Man is paying for the ticket out of his pocket, then he can fly 'Cockpit Class' for all we care, but if the Federal Government is paying for the Ticket as a Ministry Expense, then he is in violation of a federal Directive.
read you no gree read,rather you prefer to embarrass you your good self.
It was written that he was on OFFICIAL duty.
Hope you now get the gist?

It appears some people have difficulty in understanding English. This is from the write up The minister said even travels with Business Class tickets remained strictly restricted to only ministers, permanent secretaries, chairmen of Federal Government committees as well as chairmen and chief executives of parastatals and agencies.

Hamid Ali falls in this category he the chief executive of an agency, so flying business class is no big deal.

I dont give a hoot about politicians but he was probably upgraded.
In this season of empty flights,it makes sense for BA or any airline to upgrade VIP's or top govt officials @no extra cost to them.
Its an IOU in a sense.

Uncle, even me have upgraded my ticket severally on official trips. The question is not if the trip is official or not, the real point is if the full cost of the Business Class ticket was charged to the government of Nigeria.

Anyone who knows the workings of the finance ministry know that Colonel Alli,the current Comptroller General of Customs has little regard for Mrs Kemi Adeosun,his supervising minister and current finance minister. I learnt he has little contact with her and jumps over her head to report direct to President Buhari.
Re: Hamid Ali Flying First Class - Premium Times by rumours: 3:51pm On Jul 22, 2016
No he should not go and start selling tickets. But let see what action he will take on this flagrant violation of his(PMB) ground rules.

So you mean the man cannot afford to buy a 1st class ticket from his own pocket in a foreign land if he feels like it? Was he flying from nigeria?




Or Is there any evidence that every single pound he used to purchase the particular ticket was from his presidency approved allowance? How are you sure one big boy or babe no even buy am the ticket? Do you know the kind of favours rich people love to grant to government officials?

If I buy an Economy class ticket on Air France today, or any Sky Team Partner Airline, I get upgraded to Business Class (if there is space) by virtue of my Loyalty/Points/Miles status. I just became a Gold Elite plus member.. This is one way he may have landed in Business class (assuming he is a priority passenger).

Another is that he pays the cost difference between the Economy class ticket purchased by the Nigerian Government and First Class Ticket.

On how much does he earn.. That's a laugh. So you believe that his entire earnings comes from just being a Government appointee. grin grin I suggest you exercise you FOI rights and call up his asset declaration form from CCB. grin


Uncle... How he can afford to fly Business Class is not my business as long as he does not back charge it to the Government of Nigeria. #Period.

Abeg! Some Nigerians should stop this stupidity. What is so special about first class that ordinary hard working market woman can afford. Even if Hamid Ali is not the custom boss, first class ticket is something He can always afford if he chooses to. We should learn to focus on more relevant things, so that other countries wont be mocking our country.
