Muhammadu Buhari’s aircraft fleet is impressing. Learn how much money needed to be able to fly like the President of Nigeria.
Boeing Business Jet 737 is the main means of transport of the President of Nigeria. Muhammadu Buhari used that plane, also known as the “Eagle One”, to visit the G7 summit in Germany.
While usually the price of this plane is around $78.3 million, presidential customized Boeing 737 costs not less than $ 100 million – the sum equal to N20 billion. This aircraft seats between 25 and 50 passengers within a luxurious configuration.
This configuration includes a master bedroom, a washroom with showers, a conference and dining area, and a living area.
The plane can spend 12 hours in air, covering around 11,480 km, or 6,200 nautical miles.

Gulfstream G550 is another presidential plane that has a cruise range of 6,750 nautical miles or 12,501 km.
This plane usually accommodates 8 passengers but can carry up to 18 people if needed and still has the range to fly more than 12 hours nonstop.
The price for a new G550 is around US$53.5 million, which equals to N10.7 billion.

Besides that, presidential air fleet also includes two Dassault Falcon 7Xs.
This plane is designed to fly 5,950 nautical miles or 11,019 km – the distances equal to trip from Johannesburg to London, with eight passengers and three crew members on board, but if needed, it can carry up to 16 passengers for shorter distances.
It also can cover shorter distances much faster than usual business jets, because the 7X is the only business jet designed with the use of fighter jet technologies.
Besides that, the Falcon 7X in hyper-VIP composition is equipped with such options as a second lavatory, an on-board shower and a bedroom.
The price of one Dassault Falcon 7X is $52.3 million or N10.46 billion.

The Dornier Do 228 is another aircraft in Muhammdau Buhari’s air park – much more modest one. It carries up to 19 passengers and two pilots and can fly up to 1,111 km, or 715 nautical miles with full payload. It costs only $ 7,000,000, or N1.4 billion.

Besides that, there are three AgustaWestland AW139 helicopters at Buhari’s disposal, worth $12 million each. AgustaWestland AW139 is a 15-seat medium sized helicopter, able to fly 1,250 km, or 675 miles, for approximately 6 hours.
Thus, the presidential air fleet costs in total more than $ 300 million. It is the sum equivalent to N60 billion – not to mention additional yearly huge maintenance costs for these aircrafts.

The Theatre-Arts graduate of the University of Jos, came into the acting scene in 1996, after doing a commercial for Peugeot on NTA but was recently said to be quitting acting so as to concentrate on campaigning for President Goodluck Jonathan.
It could be recalled that just recently, Nollywood Actress, Liz Anjorin acquired a brand new white Range Rover Evoque valued at over 15million.

So many years ago, Eedris Abdulkareem was the man about town; the artiste on top. Any concert without him was certainly a ‘no concert.’ His fame was unrivaled. His songs were like the national anthem. He was loved by all and even became an Olympic torch bearer.

But at the snap of a finger, Eedris’ fame dwindled and even came down to zero level; nobody wanted to touch him with a long pole. Since the much talked about fight with America’s 50 Cent during a Star Mega Jamz concert organised by Nigerian Breweries years ago, Eedris’ name sort of got deleted among the A-list artistes.
But does the young man care about it? No! He, in fact, told Saturday Beats recently that he doesn’t regret the fight, claiming it was what revolutionalised the music industry in Nigeria today.
“I am the reason everybody is getting paid today. I am the reason everybody is doing great videos. If I didn’t fight then, everybody would have been treated like dirt.”
But when Saturday Beats reminded him how he eventually apologised to 50 Cents some time ago, Eedris said, “I am an Olympic torch bearer. I have made my point. We got to move on with life. That is what makes me different.”
As much as so many other artistes have sprung up in Nigeria, making so much money and getting global recognition, Eedris still feels nobody can take his place.

“My vacancy is still there. Nobody is singing my kind of songs. They are scared. They cannot wear my shoe because it is painful. I will always be relevant whether anybody likes it or not. If what happened to me when  former President Obasanjo fought me because of my song, Nigeria Jagajaga, and the 50 Cent wahala, had happened to another musician, people would have forgotten about that person a long time ago. But I am here and I will always be here. It was God that put me there.
“Who among the new musicians is touching the lives of people? If you like, join illuminati, have a lot of women friends and talk about boobs and booty, it doesn’t make sense to me. What I want to do is to make a mark in people’s lives. I don’t care about the money they make.”
Probably because of his quest to make a mark or his genuine love for Nigeria, Eedris has come up with a project, which he called ‘I am Nigeria,’ aimed at making an impact in the society.
“It is conceptualised to help address the needs and aspirations of the Nigerian youths within and outside Nigeria. With this platform, we hope to challenge public officials and institutions that are performing below standards.
“When there are opportunities for employment and empowerment, we will through this platform push qualified members of ‘I Am Nigeria’ forward. We hope to raise a trust fund with which to help touch the lives of Nigerian youths and discourage them from being used as thugs, arsonists and assassins by politicians.”

“Lol he make me look like I’m getting soft. Lil50 trippin,” the rapper wrote in the photo’s caption on Twitter.
According to a source, 50 Cent picked the present out himself and surprised his boy in Los Angeles this weekend with the sweet little car.
The rapper also posted another picture of the toddler, whom he has with girlfriend Daphne Joy, sitting in the tiny black car with his hands on the wheel.
“My dad told me we gotta get this money, So back to work. #littlebossintraining (sic),” 50 Cent accompanied the adorable picture.
