From my investigations, I don't think the leadership in Nigeria is ready to tackle corruption, if the President and executive is actually serious about this, the presidency will not include the purchase of two aircrafts in addition to the eight which he already has in his fleet.
“One of the items of expenditure in the current budget is the purchase of two more aircraft to bring the presidential fleet to over 10. What does the President need a fleet of aircraft for?
“How can Nigerians make sacrifices if the leaders are unwilling to sacrifice their exhubitant lifestyle? In any case, how many aircraft has the Queen of England? “The British Prime Minister does not have any jet, he uses the British Airways. President Barack Obama pays for his food (unless when hosting a state banquet) and even pays rent on his official residence.”
It was around may of last year that Nigeria’s N7Bn Presidential Jet was Banned From Flying Worldwide. That is almost 70 days after the new N7.65bn presidential jet, Falcon 7X, touched down at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, from the manufacturer’s factory in France, Dassault Aviation, France European authorities have banned the jet from flying in Europe and other parts of the world over safety issues.

If Jonathan remain in the house, I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. Corporations have been enthroned, an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money-power of the country will endeavor to prolong it's reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until the wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Jonathan's Administration is destroyed.
I don't make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts
