You are wasting your time debating these guys. All these people are not who they say they are. They are government moles been rewarded for what they post. You are wasting your time with profiteers. Please think about it. All these guys get paid or benefit from what they say online about the govt

Trogge:
. When General Sanni Abacha die, people were Celebrating, never knew we were celebrating our doom. Now the coast is clear. He had a better plan for Nigeria than democracy.

KunleyY19:
To be sincere I don't think as a Governor of a state it's reasonable to move in non armoured vehicles... Politics is a Man eat man thing...

If you're selfless like Sankara you will end up paying the ultimate price. Look at what Blaise Compaore did to him... No matter how good you're as a leader you still have enemies even within your ranks. Despite the security in US why is US president not using normal jets but using the Highly sophisticated Airforce 1... US president Limousine is over $700,000...
People talking how many Directors will accept Toyota Camry as official cars
If you're the president will you go about in Toyota Camry?? My only issue is the useless large number of convoys.

Lamasta:
Very expensive convoys to be sincere

Flynnthekidd:
Looking at El Rufai's photo, I was so annoyed!

Firstly, is El rufai blind to see the kind of houses his people live it?? Like he no get eyes?? See your ride and see the kind house your people dey live it...tueh!

Secondly, see those hungry men and women hailing them...nawa...and you expect the governors not to continue "Flexing".. you must be joking

RuudVanNisteroy:

You mention United States which has an annual budget of $4.79 thrillion dollars. Why didn't you use our former colonial masters United Kingdom as an example.

Thomas Sankara convoy will not have protected him, from being overthrown and assassinated.

There is no defence for acquiring the most expensive luxury vehicles in the market such as Range Rovers, Mercedes,BMC's and Lexus.

KunleyY19:


Thomas was warned to deal with Compaore before hand and he did nothing I cited that as an example on why you might want to consider an Armoured vehicle as the head of a state because even if you're truthful and as open as anything you still have people who might want to pin you down through any means. With my own background I don't deal with prices the way you deal with them and throw them all around... The official cost of Peugeot then should be placed in contrast with the budget of then and see if we have had any stark difference. Since you choose to do the same with US budget.


You can update your comparative research later Sir by working with ratios/percentages which is the basis of comparison when money and numbers are involved especially when comparing the past and the present...

I am against convoys but official cars being armored is absolutely not wrong in a toxic environment we have in our nation.

moonraker:
Remind me!!!
These are governors?? Using presidential like conveys? And you wonder why things are hard for Nigerians.

AMvanquish:
And you wonder the need for so many cars in a convoy. Are they always on the move with their whole cabinet & family members.
And to add salt to injury, they blow their loud Irritating Sirens , harassing motorists and citizens, forgetting this is all acquired with Same Tax payers money. #Banana Republic

RuudVanNisteroy:

The military convoys when they were ruling was never as expensive or as large as the civilians leaders

Look at Musa Yaradua Nigeria's second in command at the time convoy consisting of three Peugeot 504's in 1978.

RuudVanNisteroy:

Car could last for 20 years.

timebomb02:


the problem of Nigerian youth is abject poverty which is growing by the day. if we don't address this issue. we should just forget about rescuing the country.

the endsars organizer has the vibes and prudence to do this by gathering 78million in 4 days only to throw party and drink booze in the name of protester. But the hungry street urchins only need 500 naira to hijacked a peaceful protest.

the so call educated youths setup $100k gofundme for a disqualified bbn housemate while 87% of other graduates n hardworking youth are still living on faint hope.....

Stockholm syndrome on display is what gave this political jobbers the impression that stealing is not corruption....and they will loot until there is nothing left to loot again

if we are serious about 2023, we know what to do... .

i gave up all hope on Nigeria since 2015...

RuudVanNisteroy:

My prices are the conservative estimates. Even at the prices I quoted, when they cars are imported into Nigeria they are more expensive when you include custom duties.

Tzar:
I honestly think Nigerians deserve these politicians. They are not any better that those who misrule them.
Most Nigerians who criticize their politicians do so because they are not the ones behaving badly, not because they find it morally unacceptable.

hansomb:
In 1999 that's one of the best an fastest car you can find on the road. Seems opp belong to the indomie generation. Lots have changed since then.

azpekuliar:


That’s a big lie! I was also around in 1999 so stop misleading the so-called Indomie generation.

The late Igbo businessman Ezego “King of Money” who died in 1998 do you think the modest Peugeot 504 was ever part of his motorcade?

It was largely successful private citizens that used high end automobiles at the time like the Range Rovers, Lincoln Navigator etc.. The culture of waste among the political class had not reached stratospheric levels as is the case now.

Watch the convoy of Sani Yerima c2000 from around the 8:50 mark


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7aHag7aRTI

With the exception of Yerima, the motorcade is populated by Peugeot 504s. It will be nice to compare it to the motorcade of the current governor of Zamfara state.

Your think your journey to world’s poverty capital started last year?

Basher8583:
Its like you gues just like looking for stories to wail on.E no dey tire you.And you Racoon.Thats where you are most active. Well I have good news for you.You go wail taya.Many years to go for wailing

Racoon:
This man is one of the true selfless African leader ever seen.So unfortunate, he was assassinated in the military revolt that overthrew him then.

Racoon:
The corruption of these useless leaders in government is becoming more and more daring.

RuudVanNisteroy:

They acquire these expensive convoys because when they leave office they will buy all the cars for peanuts. Don't be surprised to learn after they leave office they bought all the cars for N10 million naira

RuudVanNisteroy:

You saw what happened to people like Dele Giwa and Thomas Sankara that tried to change the status quo.
