More of the same thing. This is just a tip of Jonathan's ice berg of corruption. You can see why we cannot hope to have real Air Force under Jonathan let alone a real Army. Why would any soldier want to fight and die for a country like this.

Read above how USA paid same! Thats what it takes to fight terrorism. With those same weapons from Papa Eze we are winning the war!


I think you are very dumb. Are they talking about the refurbishment or the cost of the refurbishment. Is refurbishment not supposed to be cheaper. Why allow hatred to clog your sense of reasoning.

IbnSultaan:

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.
Since u call it waste and d planes r not combat ready, make we test one 4 una village na? Make we see weda any rat go survive.

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.

ABIA YOUTH VANGUARD SAYS Enough is Enough, WE MUST LIBERATE OUR PEOPLE Now

Exposed! How Secret Cult Members Holding Abia Hostage Pls Share,comment And Pass

They Shall be Destroyed one after the other - Abia Youths Assembly

We the Abia Youths Assembly, a coalition of several youth organizations working to truly liberate Abia, wish to expose the Evil that has been going on in Abia State.

A group of evil men have formed themselves into a Secret Cult in other to hold Abia State hostage and to perpetually exploit the people by sharing the resources accruing to the state among themselves. We have witnessed this for the past seven and half years.

They control all political appointments in the state; responsible for workers salaries not being paid; are the reason why no meaningful projects are executed in the state except those through which they syphone state funds; they are permanent planning committee members in all state events in Abia incuding naming ceremony of any of their members; they initiate avenues through which state funds are syphoned and protect the government from any attack.

This group have their shrine and initiation ground located in the house of Ikuku and that is where they share the state allocation every month. They have sworn to an oath to keep their activity secret. The account General of the state, the Commissioner for finance, Permanent Secretary Ministry of Finance and the Government House Cashier all report to the Shrine everyday including weekends; which has become the Finance secretariate of Abia State. Every allocation for the state are withdrawn and brought to the shrine cash as sacrifice before being disbursed. This is meant to put the state in total darkness, whosoever partakes from the money are hypnotized to keep quite about the evil going on the state.

The cult wishes to spiritually blind the entire Abia so that their trade can continue. They have been doing this and it seems to be working for them; but evil lasts for a while not forever!

This cult we have discovered, was formed by Chief Charles Ogbonna and Chinedu Orji when the present Governor was still in prison, the Governor was initiated forcefully immediately he was sworn in as Governor. This is why he the Governor reports to his son Ikuku everyday and takes instruction from his own son in matters of Governance.

The cult started as Abia Reunion and later in 2011 was renamed the Abia Patriots in order to accomodate new members from the then PDP who were strongly opposed to the reelection bid of Governor T A Orji then and were always criticizing the ineptitude of the Ochendo administration. But as soon as they were initiated into the cult, all criticism stopped.

The same Cult are today forcing their candidate, a newly initiates Ikpeazu on Abia State in order to continue their evil exploits. They master minded the blatant rigging of the PDP primaries for the emergence of Okezie and are perfecting plans to rig the forthcoming election in his favor.

We Abia Youths are wiser today. Over the years we have seen our collective wealth being syphoned through meaningless projects in Abia. We have waited for them as elders to turn from their wicked ways to no avail. Most of them have children as old or and even older than Chinedu Orji but yet they bow down to the small boy because of money; insulting their old age.

Our investigations shows that these men have no geniune means of livelihood; no business except sharing of Abia State resources every month; wicked elders indeed and real enemies of Abia State without shame.

We the Abia Youths Assembly, after dueconsultations with some traditional rulers and series of meetings with several other youth organizations have resolved to defend the destiny and the future of Abia State at ALL costs. We shall no longer watch our collective interests and resources being stolen by some wicked elders who dont wish the people well. They are living fat on Abia resources while the people are suffering in povert. They are eating into and ruining our future. They attack anybody or organization who speaks against the LAME administration in Abia because 'na the same people'; but we the Youths say 'NO MORE SHALL WE KEEP QUITE'

We are therefore warning the following people to be very careful and watch their actions. The Abia Youths have resolved to defend the State from every exploitation. Any plan to rig the forthcoming election will be met with harsh response from the youths. Abians must be allowed to vote for their choice, and Okezie Ikpeazu we have discovered is not the choice of the people but the choice of the Cult.

The following are the real enemies of the Abia and we have planted our watch dogs on them. We are monitoring their activities and nothing will prevent us from venting our anger on any of them we find indulging in same wicked activities that has kept Abia under siege since over the years. We shall not only destroy their homes, but we shall destroy their entire household. They are better warned now!! They are

1. Chinedu Orji (Ikuku) 2. T A Orji (Ochendo)3. Charlse Ogbonna 4. Allen Nwachukwu 5. Prof Anya O. Anya 6. Dr Anagha Ezikpe 7. Onwuka Obewu 8. Empire Kalu 9. HRH Eze Jerry Akpala of Item 10. Vincent Ogbulafor 11. Jerry Kalu 12. Dr Emeh Okoro 13. Herbert Orji 14. Lt Col Akobundu 15. Prof Joe Irukwu 16. Cosmas Ndukwe 17. Ike Onyenweaku 18. Gen Ike Nwachukwu 19. Dr Ihechukwu Madubike 20. Onyema Ugochukwu 21. Emma Adeolu 22. Bar Emma Nwaka 23. Adolphus Wabara 24. Ume Kalu 25. Iboko Imo Iboko 26. B A Mmeregini 27. Joseph Ogwo joelee 28. Prof S O Igwe 30. Prof Mkpa Agu Mkpa 31. Sunny Aku 32. Ojo Maduekwe 33. Prof Ogbuagu (VC ABSU) 34. Ukpai A. Ukpai 35. Emma Nwabuko (Ochendo cousin)

More list shall be released soon.

Abians have decided to vote for President Jonathan of PDP whole and entire; but any attempt to manipulate the other elections will be the greatest risk for anybody to take. We are not joking. We have written petitions to all the security agencies and political parties to warn these individuals and we shall not be held responsible whatever happens to them . We are seriously watching and following their activities on daily basis. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

We are also warning all the Transition Committee chairmen who have been initiated into the cult before their appointment and directed to rig the forthcoming election in favour of PDP candidates whom the cult have hand picked. We are watching. Any attempt to rig the election or prevent other parties from entering the LG Secretariate after voting in order to rig election could lead to the burning down of such HeadQuaters.

We call on all Abians to shine their eyes. We shall release some telephone numbers through which Abians can report any irregular activities of these evil men. We must save Abia from the hands of Wickedness. This election is the opportunity for light to overcome darkness. We the youths of Abia will defend the State even with our blood. To liberate Abia truly must be accomplished. Its NOW or NEVER!

Am shocked how some people went bananas once the name Arthur Eze was mentioned. The whole issue was mixed with ethnicism. Everything they think of is money. If not for the fact that i have met decent people from the east who support and don't support this administration based on facts and convictions, i would have label the Ibos cheap. So it is okay to award an over-bloated contract to an individual once he is from my tribe even though i wont get a dime or benefit from it? It will be easy for the camel to pass through the eyes of the needle than for an Ibo man to become president in this country, it not because they don't have capable men and women thou, but they will sell their preferred choice's ambition to the highest bidder by Abuja -Lokoja highway before getting to Abuja after they would have agreed in Enugu to support the individual. Other Nigerians are watching as my brothers from the east comport themselves in this upcoming elections.

I raise my voice to God in prayers, which ever party either APC , PDP ,SDP XDP OR whatever that is planning to put us into eternity debt by way of outrageous contracts that are not benefitting the masses will surely have their house holds die untimely death in Jesus name. The God that removed Sani Abacha will surely remove anybody that does not want us to have peace in Nigeria, enough is enough. In Jesus name I pray Amen. Aro ti ro mon. If they don't give us peace na curse we go dey curse them, bunch of selfish corrupt leaders.

Ngwakwe:
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.

You're a very funny guy.

Pray tell why individuals should be allowed to handle defense contracts that has to do with national security, especially one of that magnitude - and cite examples of anywhere else on this planet where this is done?

Wait let me get this straight; So they complained before that the military was under equipped, that the president wasn't doing anything, now he is not holding back, making sure the required military hardwares are bought and some fools are still complaining?. I understand that even if GEJ had transformed Nigeria into Singapore, or Dubai, these enemies of progress, haters of all that is good, terrorist sympathizers, born to rule elements and those that are not happy that the terrorist scum are being annihilated, would still not be satisfied. May the gates of hell be opened on all the enemies of Nigeria. Amen
