Ex-Gov Orji Uzor Kalu reportedly acquires most expensive private jet in Nigeria

According to Encomium mag, former Governor of Abia state, Orji Uzor Kalu, now has the most expensive private jet in Nigeria. The jet, which is the latest edition of the Gulfstream G650, is said to be worth about N12billion and arrived the Murtala Mohammed International Airport Lagos on Thursday September 18th from New York.

Described as the fastest civilian jet in the world, the PJ boasts of a basketball court, 8,000 statute-mile range, some of the most sophisticated avionics rivaling nearly anything in the sky and uses two Rolls Royce BR725 engines. The main price of the aircraft is put at $65 million but other charges could have raised it to $75m. According to Forbes, the Gulfstream G650 has an order book of 200 customers throughout the world.

I am so ashamed of d high rate of unemployment, bad roads, poor medical facilities, poor education, lack of social amenities, unstable power supply, etc in Abia State. Wat if u die today? Wil u carry ur wealth2d nxt world? Then why not touch lives dat are poor and helpless. Ur brother Theodore Orji is following d same path. U guys are both criminals. Thank God God wil judge us one by one according2our deeds. Its not too late2stop living a life of vanity and greed. God help u.

  58. I'm not supporting looting but this man made so much money before joining politics. I am aware slok Airline and shipline were already in operation before he became a Governor. At the age of 28 He was already the chairman of the defunct Co-operative Bank. Rather than condemn every rich person, we can learn a thing or two from them.

  79. OLE BURUKU!!! as an ex-gov, wtf r yu doin that yu r able to make such money to afford such lavish vanities?? yu have stolen money meant for the betterment of your state when you were in office. yu pocketed it so yu can spend it on stupid things! some people in the state yu supposedly govererned wil never get the chance to ride in an airplane, not to talk of owning a private jet such as this. some cant even afford to send their children to skool, and here yu r parading money yu have stolen, proudly! money that could have been spent to make better roads, build better schools, educate ur youths, give them job opportunities so they wont resolve to theft or any other criminal activities. ur judgment day is surely coming!

  86. Of the 150 psalms in the Bible, David is credited for writing over half of them. God granted David understanding and wisdom through daily meditation. David’s life was a portrait of success and failure, and it highlights the fact that he was far from perfect. But what made David a cut above the rest was that his heart was pointed toward God. He had a soul that could be touched with truth. He was unafraid to admit his transgressions. He broke his own heart by his lapses of spirituality.

    It was not so much, then, the nature of his sins (grievous as they were) that is significant; rather, it was what he did about those blemishes when confronted with the crude reality of them. 2 Samuel 12:13. God call David "a man after His heart"(Act 13:22)

    Those who find themselves in position of authority in Nigeria would rather steal than serve the people, causing mass poverty and ignorance. They don't show any form of remorse for their atrocities. As if that is not enough, they and their families on a regular basis assault our sensibilities by flaunting their ill gotten wealth on the internet.

    David, the Psalmist wrote in Chapter 37:1-2. 1,Fret not yourself because of evildoers, neither be you envious of the workers of iniquity. 2,For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.
