To Saharareporters, it would've been preferable if the contract was won by either a former military General, Otedola, Adenuga or Dangote.

What I was expecting was the shortcuts in the contract publications, bidding processes, NSA denial of certification.

Was there gross negligence of due process and associated presentations of paperworks?

The contract was awarded to Authur Eze is not a sad news nor is it unlawful.

Your response is ridiculous and bereft of common sense. Nobody is interested in who won the contract, the relevant issues are that the Air Force itself considers the equipment to be a wasteful use of funds with little application to our current battle against boko haram. If the USA sells a better helicopter for $12m and we buy ours at 78m, you do not see that as wasteful corruption? Well done for explaining just the kind of person you are.

Another Gossip

abeg he is preferable to tompolo - maybe it will rid us of the insurgents in one week. Afterall they say Jona is transforming nau.

Lets watch this space.

IbnSultaan:

“For the price of each helicopter provided by Engineer Arthur Eze, the Air Force could have acquired
seven top grade military helicopters,” said one of our sources.

IbnSultaan:

“In the US, a brand new AH Cobra attack helicopter costs around $12 million each,” said a source at the NAF. He added:
“That means that, with $400 million, Nigeria could have purchased up to 40 brand new helicopters.”

IbnSultaan:

Our military sources stated that Mr. Eze’s invoice for the supply of the refurbished aircraft was massively inflated by international and
Nigerian standards. Several of the sources said Triax delivered the substandard equipment after Mr. Eze further padded the cost of the refurbished helicopters and the C-130. The sources revealed that, since February 15, 2015, when Chief of Air Staff Amosu showed off the helicopters and C-130 planes, none of the aircraft has been deployed even once to fight Boko Haram militants. “They are not in any combat-ready condition,” one officer fumed. “We are looking at a total waste of money for no good reason.

The above and many more we don't know is part of the large reason why GEJ and his cohorts will prefer to die on the "throne" rather than allow free, fair and credible election.

How about the claim that the helicopters are not combat ready? Someone has to answer for this. This is absolute waste.

This is the real matter here, someone has got to answer for this.

Why is this not one the front page?

If only the hypocrites had spent some of their time investigating the problems with the distribution and allocation of pvc, possibly they would be able to uncover some more useful and implicating information on the chairman of INEC. No they would rather spend their time chasing the wind,looking for another easterner to nail in their wild and often delusional pursuit to dominate Nigeria

Sharia-reporters, angry at the army for gaining upper hand against there friends in Sambisa.

RevDesmondJuju:
And so?

Do you expect the contract to go to shekau bin sambisa?

Henry120:


This is a bloody lie.


Saharareporters claims the Helicopters recently up-graded have never been used since the 15th of February.


On the day, AS Super-Puma, Gazelle helicopters were commissioned into service.


In the video and photos, we can all see the Super Puma and Gazelle helicopter in the North-East.

Also look at the serial number, NAF 565 commissioned in lagos in the channels T.V cut, and a clear photo of NAF 565 in maiduguiri.

Watch towards the end of this video, you would see the Gazelle Helicopter landing after a Recon mission in maiduguiri Airport.

Outdated ,repainted and non furnished go and die helicopter

I have said it that those auctioning off Ndigbo to Jonathan are doing it for their selfish interest and for what they benefit from him. It has nothing to do with the interest of Ndigbo. After some clowns will come and be asking why as an Igboman am not supporting Jonathan.

Things Must Change. We can continue being a means to satisfying the greed of people like Arthur Eze. I knew the day he was at Onitsha raining insults here and there, he was in it for his pocket.

Things must Change in Nigeria for the better. Sai Buhari.

you still never wakeup

So this is reason for the $1billion dollar loan he literally intimidated the nass into signage

SAHARA! SAHARA! SAHARAAA REPORTERS AKA APC ON LINE MEDIA!

How come the writer claims that the helicopters have not been engaged in action? Then what videos were we seeing on TV showing such? Please stop fabricating stories or distorting information for cheap political gains.

IbnSultaan:
SaharaReporters has obtained documents relating to a scandalously inflated $500 million defense contract that President Goodluck Jonathan awarded to Arthur Eze, a Nigerian businessman with a shady past, a close friend of the president and his wife, and a major financier of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Our security sources said some officers of the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) were furious over the jumbo contract described by one source as “a pure waste.” The sources, most of them military personnel, told our correspondent that, in addition to its sheer extravagance, the contract has also saddled the Nigerian military with helicopters that have limited or no combat utility.

The documents obtained by our correspondent reveal that Mr. Eze, the chief executive of Triax, received the gigantic sum of $466.5 million in order to weaponize six Puma helicopters with the aid of an Israeli company named Elbit Systems. This meant that each weaponized helicopter cost close to $78 million. “For the price of each helicopter provided by Engineer Arthur Eze, the Air Force could have acquired seven top grade military helicopters,” said one of our sources.

Our sources also noted that the haste with which the contract was initiated, approved and executed raised serious questions. A memo dated November 20, 2014 and submitted by the Chief of Air Staff, A.N. Amosu, revealed that Mr. Eze had on November 4, 2014 submitted a proposal to the office of the National Security Adviser proposing to supply the upgraded helicopters to the NAF. The tone of Mr. Eze’s letter, obtained by us, indicated that he was deeply involved in sourcing and supplying hardware to the Nigerian military as it is embroiled in a fight against Boko Haram militants.

An Air Force officer said he was alarmed at the alacrity with which Mr. Eze’s overinflated proposal was approved by the NSA’s office. The NAF followed with an equally quick endorsement sixteen days later.

One of our sources accused President Jonathan and Mr. Eze of using the refusal of the US to sell Cobra attack helicopters to Nigeria as an excuse to engage in a large-scale squandering of funds involving the Federal Government and Mr. Eze’s company, the Triax Company Nigeria Limited. “In the US, a brand new AH Cobra attack helicopter costs around $12 million each,” said a source at the NAF. He added: “That means that, with $400 million, Nigeria could have purchased up to 40 brand new helicopters.”

According to the source, the Cobra attack helicopter is one of the best US-made helicopters. “It is highly effective in the battlefield. It would have given us big battlefield advantage over Boko Haram,” he said.

In an additional proposal, Mr. Eze’s company sought to purchase 4,000 57mm S5 rockets, 400 80mm S8 rockets, 500 general-purpose bombs, and 20,000 units of unguided rockets. His company also received a contract to refurbish three C-130 planes that had been sitting at the hanger of the Nigerian Air Force for several years.

A final invoice Mr. Eze submitted to the Nigerian government showed that he would receive $466, 500,000 to supply six upgraded Puma helicopters, four units of single-seater Sukhoi Su-25K (“Frog-foot”) Soviet-made ground attack jets, and two upgraded Su-25UB trainers for $330 million. In addition, he would receive $14 million for the shipping of platforms/ground support/line replacement of the six Puma helicopters; $44 million for some arms and ammunition earlier proposed; $37 million for the maintenance of C-130 engines, and $40 million for unspecified armaments for the NAF.

Our military sources stated that Mr. Eze’s invoice for the supply of the refurbished aircraft was massively inflated by international and Nigerian standards.

Several of the sources said Triax delivered the substandard equipment after Mr. Eze further padded the cost of the refurbished helicopters and the C-130. The sources revealed that, since February 15, 2015, when Chief of Air Staff Amosu showed off the helicopters and C-130 planes, none of the aircraft has been deployed even once to fight Boko Haram militants. “They are not in any combat-ready condition,” one officer fumed. “We are looking at a total waste of money for no good reason.”
