Her priorities misplaced
I do understand why some ministers have
lost priorities; they just seem to lavish money on things that don’t
matter. Why must the minister of aviation buy bulletproof cars worth
N255m? What is the essence of the cars? The aviation sector is under
threat yet she is lavishing money on useless things. I think she needs
to set her priority straight. If the aviation sector doesn’t get its
act right, it cannot attract genuine investors. It’s high time the
sector had a rethink. At this critical time, buying bulletproof cars
should be the last thing in the aviation sector.

Display of stupidity
It’s barbaric. A dance of shame. It is a
display of stupidity of our present leadership. At this time when the
future of our youth is on hold, an underperforming minister is spending
the collective wealth of the country for her benefit. If she feels her
life is in danger, she ought to resign and return home. I’m also
surprised that the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority acted in such
irresponsible manner. Nigerians are not fools and this act of stupidity
should not be taken lightly.
— Tosin Agboola
The cars must be returned
I am too angry to give a coherent
opinion. It is wasteful, brazen and just plain wickedness. I am sure she
didn’t act alone. She should be fired along with those who made the
allocation available for the purchase of the cars. The cars should be
returned with immediate effect and the bill of return made public.
— Tolu Awodiya
This is not right
The purchase of the cars is not the
right thing to do now considering the high rate of unemployment and
poverty in the country. There is even a lingering face-off with the
Academic Staff Union of Universities hinged on monetary matters.
Besides, as the minister of aviation, she should be more concerned about
the state of the aviation industry which has been facing so many
challenges in recent times. Let her resign from office and face the
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission immediately.

She is selfish
The purchase of two armoured cars worth
N225m for the Minister of Aviation, Mrs. Stella Oduah by the Nigerian
Civil Aviation Authority is nothing but sheer waste of public resources.
Buying bulletproof cars with such a ridiculous amount is inexplicable.
Why must she buy such a expensive cars? Her move obviously says she has
skeletons in her cupboard. The crisis in the aviation sector needs
immediate attention. The money she spent in buying the cars could have
been used to fix the rot in the aviation sector. Or it could have been
used to set up small businesses for unemployed graduates. I feel the
aviation minister is greedy and self-centred.
— Ogbebule Irebowale
This is a shame
The purchase of two armoured vehicles
for the aviation minister is a plain case of misplaced priorities on the
part of the NCAA and the minister herself. It shows public officials
waste money on their personal upkeep. It is a big shame to this nation.
— Chinedu Osuji
She should be sacked
It is sad that at a critical moment like
this, the minister of aviation is said to have got two armoured cars.
Just recently, there was a plane crash which killed about 15 people.
There were also cases of emergency landing lately. Sadly, instead of
addressing air safety, the minister has been insulting our intelligence
by telling us that our air space is one of the safest. It does not take a
rocket science to know that Mrs. Stella Oduah’s claim is nothing by an
attempt to cover her ineptitude since she assumed duty. It is
ridiculous, outrageous and misplaced priority to be buying armoured cars
with such amount. The act is one of the cases of impunity that the
current administration is noted for and also coming on the heels of an
allegation of another minister being accused of spending several
millions on flying a private jet. There is no better time than this to
sack the minister of aviation if Mr. President is truly interested in
fighting graft.
— Solomon Kehinde.
A sheer waste
Nigerian ministers like wasting public
funds. She is following in the footsteps of his predecessors. We are
used to wasting public funds in Nigeria. I am sure God will punish those
wasting our funds at the appropriate time.
— Aderoju Adelere
It’s pathetic
Sometimes I wonder what goes on in the
heads of our ministers. They are so wasteful. The country has been
experiencing series of plane crashes and yet the one thing on the mind
of the aviation minister is to buy two bulletproof cars. How pathetic!
It clearly shows that she has misplaced her priorities. Someone needs to
talk some sense into her head. It is time she sat down and fixed her
sector. I pray that her eyes of understanding would be enlightened.
— Rachel Omole
We need to get things right
Nigeria has misplaced her priorities. It is glaring that until we do what is right, the country will not flourish.
— Wale Ajayi
Overhaul the sector
Mrs. Stella Oduah ‘s aviation ministry
got two cars worth N225m recently while in the last two years over 200
innocent lives perished due to air mishap caused by either human or
machine errors in the ministry. I want to believe that this is not
needed at this point in time. We misplace our priorities a lot in this
country. How can a house be on a fire and the next thing to do is to be
making drainages? The ministry should have spent taxpayers’ money to
overhaul the aviation ministry by organising thorough mandatory
professional trainings for her personnel and getting good equipment
needed in the sector. But unfortunately, it appears that the sector is
suffering from attitudinal problems.
