(PHOTOS) List Of Private Jets In Goodluck Jonathan's Presidential Air Fleet

Inspite of the economic meltdown facing many nations and the dwindling price of oil in the global market, it is quite funny and amazing to me that the Nigerian Federal Government under the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan would spend a whooping sum of money annually to maintain eleven private jets.

Photos of the private jets

Two Falcon 7x
Falcon 7x bought in 2010 for $51.1m each

Two Falcon 900 Jets

A replica of Falcon 900 which the presidency bought for an
estimated $35. I don't think Nigeria bought a new one.
One Gulfstream 550

The Presidency's Gulfstream 550 bought at a price of $53.3m
One Boeing 737 BBJ

The Presidency's Boeing 737  Boeing Business Jet (BBJ).
It is the Nigerian Air Force 001 or Eagle One bought at
an estimated price of $58m

One Cessna Citation 2

One Hawke Siddeley 125-800


A replica of a typical Hawker Siddeley 125-800 Jest estimated
at $15m

 You can do the maths of the overall cost. Nigeria spends over $58.57m (9.08bn naira) annually to maintain this Presidential Air Fleet (PAF). And a budget was submitted to the National assembly for another private jet. The jet costs 1.52bn naira. Na only God go help Naija!

What is wrong with this picture?

What is wrong with this picture?


Your guess is as good as mine:
Women loaded on a "Goods Only" tagged vehicle.

That's one of the effects of the Boko Haram menace in the northern part of Nigeria.

The vehicle is probably the only means of transportation available to the women in their flee from terror.

Man Rears Crocodiles, Snakes, Others At His Lagos Residence

The Lagos State Government has shut down a building located at 13, Alhaji Abass Street, off Adebowale Street, Ojodu-Berger where dangerous animals such as crocodiles, snakes and others are being reared.

According to the government, the building, was shut for illegally breeding dangerous and wild animals such as panther, water snake, giant eagle, crocodiles and others.

The property occupied  by Mr. John  Adekanbi was discovered by officers of the Ministry of the Environment who were carrying out House-to-House Awareness Campaign during the state monthly environmental sanitation exercise in the area.

The site has been sealed off and and the animals moved to Messrs Origin Garden Zoo.

The question that remains unanswered in my head is "what was his intention behind keeping such wild animals?"
