am i in dreamland?you do realise this sentiment you align yourself with is a big indictment of Mr Fresh Air

LastApostle:
Where in the world was it recorded that money 'ran' out of an economy. The finance minister is just taking precautionary economic measures to check government expenditures and fiscal deficit.
By blowing the trumpet, all agencies of government saddled with generating revenue takes drastic measures to supplant the economy. The financial regulatory agencies and controllers also take strident fiscal measures to empower the government spending and reduce public lending etc

I give up on Nigeria

Double194:
Am so sorry to say this, but U are very stpyd. U think bein extravagant with public fund is right cos of lack of accountability? U think accountability is a one man affair? U think Abuja is far? Dude U seriously need to get intouch with technology.

Chanchit: I wish our leaders have conscience. If I try to burn myself like the Egyptian that burnt himself to death which in turn started the revolution, but if I try that one for this country na so so " eeyah, eeyah" our people go dey talk, but I need a gun really fast.

Nichobabe:

I wonder why you can not get the message the guy is trying to pass, he is telling us to wake up and ask our leaders questions, let there be accountability and if not we should not blame the leaders when we the followers are not saying anything and keeping mute will not help anybody.

What is wrong with that?

Capnd143: Why critizes evri tin about Gej? Does it cost the country up to 500,000 naira to transport her down here? Is it nt just to fuel the jet and dispatch? Sha some nairalanders are pure illitrates

solomon111: The national assembly should be the one to authorize the sale of those jets,and not the president.
The jets does not belong to jonathan,it belongs to Nigeria.

kraftykc:

My Lord Father almighty. Bros if you don't know it costs like 5000 - 6000 USD PER HOUR for those business jets. The CHEAP ones though! [size=15pt]The maintenance allocated to the Presidential fleet was more than the Government allocated to the ENTIRE AVIATION MINISTRY so what are we saying[/size]?

Sincere 9gerian: I do not support fiscal recklessness in govt but I view every report from Punch these days with justifiable suspicion. PUNCH is Tinubu's dog, with no credibility.

Meanwhile, the NASS can organise a public hearing on this matter so that the true number of presidential aircraft and circumstances under which they were bought would be made exposed. Also, this issue can be tabled before the president at the next presidential media briefing.

I cannot judge based on what Tinubu says through Punch. We need to hear from all sides.

Some of the aircrafts Tinubu's Punch counted as part of the ten or nine may no longer be air-worthy. Ten cars can be parked in a compound but only five of the ten may be road-worthy.

Also there's nothing wrong in Nigeria sending an aircraft to pick up the president of Malawi. Yes, Nigeria is a poor country but Nigeria is far far richer than Malawi.

REHOZIBAH: In all honesty,d avalanche of comments by Pro- profligate corrupt system being further entrenched by GEJ is to say d least veri nauseating,odius n intellectually bereft of logic in evri facet

I can't fathom people defending a large pool of 10 PAFs in d face of our chequered history wt wastefulness. despite d clinical knockout delivered by Find-Out/Gbawe to d contrary of dos who said GEJ ddnt buy any of d aircrafts

D most vomit-inducing comment came frm d guy who av bn serially called Insincere9gerian who lied volte-facedly that Tinubu owns d Punch Newspaper!!!! I came away wt d conclusion that dis individual is lie-personified in evri facet imaginable

Any critique of yr master GEJ must always be spurn around to bring in Tinubu or Buhari as if those individuals are d one 'Nigerians' voted for

Let me help u out of yr misery insincere9gerian...The Punch Newspaper group is own by the ABODERIN FAMILY frm wia Late Jaiye(Stella Damasus former Hubby came from) and Wunmi Obe(Tunde Obe wife)

sammoR: The most painful thing abt Nigeria is that often times we talk, but act less. Honestly, there has 2b a bloody revolution. Those people troubling this nation, Jonathan and all are just a few. Less than 10000. This country wont move until we take radical steps like was done in Ghana. D world laffs at us. I've travelled around a bit and honestly the impunity with which Nigerian leaders steal and their recklessness breeds so much anger in my heart. They have studied us, they throw religion and ethnicity at us 2divide us and we fail 2realise that what unites us is more than divides us. I am a Nigerian, not a christian, muslim certainly not ibo, hausa, or yoruba. D call will come soon. Just one question, who will stand up and fight?

Gbawe:

He is more than a liar. He is simply a completely immoral sycophant with not even the slightest capacity for upright conduct. Nauseating how he talks of Tinubu on every single topic concerning GEJ. Is it a Tinubu-led lie that GEJ augmented the Presidential air fleet, by 3 planes, from 7 to 10 thus compounding the fiscal headache and mindless profligacy ruining Nigeria?

Did Tinubu force GEJ to maintain a fleet maintained with N18 billion annually which translate to N7 billion more than the N11 billion voted to equip the Nigerian police force? Can one person show me one nation in the world other than Nigeria, just one alone, where the budget for maintaining the Presidential fleet of airplanes is far greater than that devoted to equipping a National police force? This is something no one can defend and it is certainly an issue that does not concern Tinubu, OBJ or anyone other than GEJ who is the current President happy to augment and maintains a bloated 10 air-plane fleet at monumental cost when so many pressing national needs remain ignored/underfunded.

Punch is Tinubu's dog. Punch has no credibility. QED.

REHOZIBAH: @Gbawe My man you have said it all! Yr persistence @ pooh-poohing d lies of Pro-establishment lilliputs on NL is very encouraging.it is so obvious that a large % of them were stil in their diapers or in d womb when we had a semblance of a disciplined govt hence they can never connect d fact that GEJ and his party are not and can never be d best 4 us

I for one don't criticise GEJ because he is a Minority or something,but I detest d fact that he has not even lift a finger to remedy no matter how small his impact would have been d systematic rot in d governance of our country rather choosing to hobnob with economic terrorists and outright criminals in d guise of Militants who are being criminally empowered to guard pipelines yet are stil engaged in sophisticated crude oil theft

So those who erroneously seek to help parry or deflect our blaming of GEJ 4d continued rot in d system by saying he ddnt buy dos aircrafts when evidence infact showed that he did are only being disingenous

His case is a clinical case of 'omo aijebe ri ton ja epo saya'- a child who finds a soup so tantalising to d extent of soiling his apparel wt stains!

D presidency and its allure is so overwhelming 4 GEJ hence he just wudnt see anything wrong in perpetuating d culture of profligacy of his predecessors when an executive bill seeking to dispose off a few of those crafts wud av cemented his heroic status in our hearts

But what does one expect from a man who hasn't got a shred of sage mentality or glory-hunting mindset? Clueless to say d least!

Maxymilliano:

It doesn't make any economic sense to continue keeping 10 aircraft for a government that is serious in curbing fiscal profligacy, the cost of maintenance and associated charges in keeping 10 aircraft is not healthy for the economy

Ihe grossly under-perforimg and under-productive legislatures should also wake up to their responsibilities and provide a semblance of checks on some of the activities of the executive rather than just serving as leeches and getting paid for doing next to nothing ...

Nigerian groom at sham marriage where he chose Celine Deon's 'The first time ever I saw your face' is jailed for 12 months

. UKBA warned by Hull Registrar that couple did not know each other
. Agency secretly filmed a wedding video of the bridal party at wedding
. Arrested those involved and sham bride and groom jailed today

A Nigerian groom has been jailed for 12 months for a sham marriage where he picked Celine Dion's song 'The first time ever I saw your face' to march down the aisle.

Hull University masters student Jayeola Abiola, 29, needed to marry to stay in the UK, and paid Portuguese Vania Pinheiro-Fernandes, 29, to be his bride.

They met for the first time at their dress rehearsal and he stumbled to pronounce her name.
