Federal Government Purchases 200 Cars for African First Ladies’ Use

The FG must have look at these models belonging to South Africa’s 3 “First Ladies” in their decision. Notice the BMW jeep?

Information has it that the ongoing African First Ladies Summit may be costing Nigeria government the host nation billions of naira as the Federal Government began delivery of 200 exotics cars. The cars are for use during the 7th African First Ladies for Peace Mission (AFLPM) summit scheduled for 24 to 27 July in Abuja. Already, African first ladies have begun arriving in the country since weekend for the four-day event.

First Lady Patience Jonathan is the convener of the event, with the theme “The African Woman: A Voice for Peace,” which is expected to be attended by spouses of African leaders.

It has been gathered that the vehicles were supplied by Coscharis Motors, and 180 units had already been delivered to the Presidential Villa in Abuja as at Saturday. The transaction for the 200 cars was alleged to have been processed by the office of the Minister of State for Finance. However, attempts to seek explanation from the office were not successful as a spokesman declined comment while the minister of state, Dr. Yerima Ngama, did not answer calls to his phone on Monday.

  1. Goodmorning. This is wickedness from our leaders. How will they purchase cars worth 13.5 million each in T̶̲̥̅̊ђέ name of entertaining guest? Millions of Nigerians are suffering. It is said that most Nigerins are living below 1 dollar yet this people we call our leaders went ahead to spend that kind money purchasing cars for guest. Ɣ☺ΰ are meant to make life easy for us with T̶̲̥̅̊ђέ country’s(our) resources and not wasting what we have. This is wickedness of T̶̲̥̅̊ђέ highest order. ℓ̊ thought Mr. Prsident and his minister will be going there to alleviate poverty in this nation but unfortunately, ℓ̊ A̶̲̥̅♏ disappointed. ℓ̊ have always been u̶̲̥̅̊я̩̥̊ fan but with this, ℓ̊ have decided never to support Ɣ☺ΰ no more. With u̶̲̥̅̊я̩̥̊ level of education and that u̶̲̥̅̊я̩̥̊ ministers, ℓ̊ don’t think we should be in this state/level we are now. Ngozi is worse. Ɣ☺ΰ approved this? ℓ̊ can’t believe this. I’m disappointed in Ɣ☺ΰ.

  3. Can you imagine what they are using our money for, the First Lady(Mrs Goodluck) just wasted that resources that they would have used to do something else. We are talking about a country with massive poverty here, unemployment and insecurity. Hosting this meeting in Nigeria was uncalled for. She shouldn’t think that Our (Nigeria) money is for her husband, so she can use it as she likes.

  4. This is a big slap on the face, how can we progress when we ve leaders with crazy advisers behind them. Will other nations spend so much money on cars when they ve guests and their county men are living in abject porverty? Our president and his wife are a big bunch of great mess, the worst set of leaders our nation has ever seen. Good Lord our future is in ur hands o! Save us from this kind of leaders that don’t use their number 6

  5. Dear BokoHaram. This is to inform u of the African first Ladies Event in Abuja. You are cordially invited, pls come wit ur AK47’s, Bombs, C4’s Dynamites and other exoctic weapons to grace the occation. Thunder fire all of una

  6. This is just the beginning. Never expect anything good in this administration. This is the result of our insincerity and sentiment. It was cleared that Jonathan is grossly corrupt and insincere but you sentimentally voted him at the detriment of our economy. Is this transformation or retrogressive deformation? Is this fresh air or hot flaming hell? Hike fuel, hike in driver’s licence, hike in number plates, hike electricity, killing innocent citizens under the disguise of boko haram, gross corruption, disobedience of law, demolition, electoral malpractices, poor implementation of budget, first lady to permanent secretary, buying 200 cars at #13.5m each for first lady summit and many more on the way coming. All these aforementioned are Jonathan’s legacy for Nigeria to be remembered of. May God save Nigeria from the hands the political monsters.

  7. How can buyin cars be a key to bringin peace?When it comes to smth that wil benefit the Mases,there wunt be money but wen it comes to unecesary expenses,the money wil come 4rm no were.Are we even makin efort to make Nigeria a better place? Wat shal it profit a man,wen He/She gains the whole World an lose HIS SOUL TO HELL.Wel it has alwaz been the policies of the rich gettin richer an the poor goin to Hell.Wit all the cars they v acess to?They stil need new ones to Camonflag in d name of Peace Sumit.We dnt knw who to wory abt anymore:whether the men or their wives. The other time was some Senators wives who cyphoned their selves to London in d name of learnin hw to suport their husbands: can u belief that?

  8. By the way there is no such office as the the office of the first lady in the nigeria constitution, so why should FG release such funds from its treasury if not for a complete display of insensitivity and act of greed. After the summit, what then happen to these cars?? Certainly they aren’t taking it back to their countries. Then these polithieves end up sharing it or auctioning it to themselves. God is certainly watching them all in 3D. I swear

  9. OK, you all can see this act! I am pitying Nigeria. Sorry Nigerian unscrupulous leaders. How would our foolish leaders learn to keep to their political deceptive basket of promises?How would they know that there were elected or voted in by hungry and jobless Nigerians? How would they know that our resources are being wasted? Corruption and bribbery..heemmm, unemployment…heemmm, insecurity…hhheeeemmm, moribund health sector…heeemmm, deriding educational system…heeehhh, roads and other infrastructure…heemmm…Political Doom, Bastard politicians… We are in trouble! Ok, Police? wahala, trained unbranded criminals. EFCC & ICPC…mr president spear tyres…Fuck up and get removed…. Ok, I have got it right here, is our law makers here? out of points…uncontrollable quarrelsome charlatans who fight in the house sitting ilke hungery wheel barrow pushers….confidential house visit is enough to end a house session when seated. Who will rule us better now? hemmm, I will ask a market woman or man tomorrow. I will tell una answer, ok. Shame To Our Leaders. God, help us, help your people Nigerians. Come and take lead!!!

  10. Since I discovered that the present administration is a complete failure, I have sworn not to waste my time to vote for any other misguided and unscrupulous leader in Nigeria. I will never ever vote for any blood sucker again in Nigeria starting even from local level…
    Mr. President, remember, Nigerians wholly had hope on you and voted you in…many were beaten by sun just to ensure they cast their vote for you. Now, every hope lost…To be frank, this administration has not even achieved 2% of its promises.. WOOOOOOO TO THE BASTARD LEADERS…

  11. I am not surprised by d lavish spendings of our clueless president. he spent over a trillion naira of nigerias money on his election bid using the subsidy platform, that is why he doesn’t have d gut to prosecute the big fish of the subsidy scam; they would just expose him. Anybody who knows him should tell him not to waste his energy on a second term. he shuld get busy with how to keep the ones he and patience have stollen, because he will surely face d trribunal on his exit. I will rather vote for a muslim than vote a stealing christian. he should also pray for his wifes safe return from hospital, bcos d blood of d innocent and. d hungry will cry on his family. if revolution is d answeer, so be it.

  12. Were alll these expenditure approved under the watch of Okonjo-iweala ? Now I. Know why she returned to nigeria, leaving her plum World Bank job. She must have thot she made a grave mistake during OBJ’s tenure by not taking her share of the treasury. When the revolution starts, non of them will b spared. Oby Ezekesili has said it already, whre did the foreign reserve and excess crude savings gone? OBJ left zero debt for naigeria, now we hve N6trillion local debts, and $9bllion. Why re we looking while these few re plundering? Whre is d military? Whre. Is Buhari? O God do not leave us. Kill these pple one by one before this year runs our. Amen.
