According to a report by ThisDay, the presidency is currently
building a helipad in Daura, the hometown of President Buhari in Katsina
state. According to sources who spoke to ThisDay, the Helipad is being
constructed to help ease the president's travels to his hometown.
For now, whenever he travels to Katsina state using the presidential
jet, he has to travel by road to his hometown after landing at Katsina Airport but with the helipad, he will be landing right in his
hometown. Nigerians have taken to twitter to react to the report. See
their tweets after the cut...
This is just the beginning. Very soon he will increase his livestock x 10. Hehe. Na dem sabi. I lost hope in this country a long time ago. If the helipad will make him happy, by all means let them build. After all Na dem de sidon on top the money.
ReplyDeleteWale Babatune, and Mimi tweets got my attention. All d same, they all spoke well, and I wish PMB d very best thereof.
DeleteAnytin dat wil mak him comfortable should b acceptable to us.
Hummmm...and after his tenure what happens to the helipad? Will he still be using it? Unnecessary waste of money.

How will u see wen u r blind?
DeleteFake or real juliet you hardly see anything wrong when it comes to buhari. You must really have sold your objectivity
DeleteImagine obama building a helipad in his backyard in Illinois cos he can't bear the discomfort of journeying home from the airport by road in his pimped out chauffeur-driven ride. Only in Naija...
ReplyDeleteWetin hin de travel 24/7 2 daura? Abi make we shift hin office go daura? Fulani & cow sha,pls,leave those cattle 4 some1 2 look after them..
ReplyDeleteAll he keeps doing is to migrat from one place to other like a Fulani man that he is. He pays more attention to his cows than our pressing needs. Instead of him to trek like his people, he choosed a private jet. Ok naa!
Delete*Linda's best friend*
Don't u fools know d meaning of an helipad? It's like cementing a small portion of ur compound
ReplyDeleteI thought Alh Buhari said that he met an empty treasury. So he was lying afterall.
ReplyDeleteHe is lying to some gullible Nigerians, not people that knows more than him.
Delete*Linda's best friend*
Nigerians always react to everything
ReplyDeleteB4 nko..
DeleteBt its OK na.
ReplyDeleteJst a Helipad n i know ish will save cost as compared 2 travellin in Presidential Jet(s) with all those sycophantic trollers n other Scums.
From which pocket? I taught he met an empty treasury?

ReplyDeleteChange is here!
ReplyDeleteThis is a d change he want to change Nigeria,why did he not do that befor coming in as FG.less that one month he is building helipad and nothing about fuel or electricIty yet. I wonder what change he was shouting about. They only came to satisfer themself just to loot money. I wish a youngerr person can rule this countrry then we can experience change. Linda post my comment.
ReplyDeleteAnd what if every President decides to build a helipad in their home town what then becomes of our country's resources?! And they thought this guy was different?! Change my ass
ReplyDeleteIs part of the change,he deserve it as our president,lets be supportive.One Nigeria.
ReplyDeleteLinda look alike
People are trying to see the change....well, that's the CHANGE! Una never see something.
ReplyDeleteThis is the only reasonable comment you have made in the history of your comments,apart from RIP.
Delete*Linda's best friend*
It baffles me how we Nigerians think. "O, it's just a helipad", "it's just a slab of concrete with an H on it", " it only costs NGN xyz". We forget the import. Even if a helipad costs NGN 5 (that is Five Naira to be explicit)why should our resources be used to build it?. Is that a prudent expenditure?, how will it be of benefit to the generality of Nigerians?. We need to demand more from our leaders. I expect Gen Buhari to consider and start carrying out projects that will benefit the Generality of Nigerians and not Business as usual. How una see the Jostle for positions by APC big wigs?, na wao. What is the change we voted for?.
ReplyDeleteIs not just even if it is just would ypu have kept quiet if it were gej. Hypocrates let people react it is healthy
DeleteChia! Our money don finish oo
ReplyDeleteLinda cogitate
Chai Buhari!!!
Delete*Linda's best friend*
I hope thos who voted for him re not regretting now. Hehhee. Lets continue to fold our hands and watch.
ReplyDeleteMe I'm not a fan of this guy, but I believe he's gonna do better than the past government. Lets keep our fingers crossed and pray for him.
ReplyDeleteWish him nd his cows well.
ReplyDeleteWell thank God I never voted or even supported him..
ReplyDeleteA man that should have retired. He has no business with presidency in d first place. You can't cheat nature. The old man is simply planning for his resting place when he finally caput..
Chai u get bad mouth no be small .. lol
DeleteNnenne George same to u. Thesame thing u wish him is what will happen to u too. That is how people will mock u too when u are getting old in Jesus name. Go and mark it.
DeleteHelipad is for helicopter landing and not for private jet. It's ok for him, people should allow GMB concentrate and stop been fault finders especially this PDP witches n Lizards....lol
ReplyDeleteAs he just enter seat dat one is d 1st thing he ll do hmmmmm
ReplyDeleteNot expensive for a countrys president what Dezianni Madueke used to change ha tyres
ReplyDeleteFrom which pocket? I taught he met an empty treasury?
Delete*Linda's best friend*
I just dey wait....
ReplyDeleteLets consider the cost of flying the presidential Jet every weekend, and the cost of flying the helicopter. At the long run it is cheaper to put concrete on the ground and put paint on it. It does not even cost £10,000 to make this happen. He should be entitled to an helipad, way cheaper then flying the Presidential Jet every weekend. Carry on Mr. President it is a great money saving idea.
ReplyDeleteBuhari only came back to steal this time since he was unable to steal properly before Bababgida overthrew him. He has not appointed ministers so he can loot before anyone assumes office. I won't be surprised when his farm that has only 150 cows will be the biggest farm in Africa after spending just one year in office. All those saying Buhari is not corrupt must be sick, a man that was sponsored with corrupt and stolen money. Buhari is back to loot!!!
ReplyDeleteThat's no big deal....after all he can afford it with his own money.
ReplyDeleteAll em GEJ's fans criticising didn't criticise wen GEJ flew an helicopter back to his home town after handing over. If Otueke has 1 den why can't Daura have 1? Its just Helipad,tho its not a necesssity at d moment
ReplyDeleteNo body should give me BP for issues I can't do anything about.
ReplyDeleteTHAT IS WASTE OF NIGERIAN MONEY, IF HE'S HERE TO FIGHT CORRUPTION, WHY DONT HE TRAVELL LIKE EVERY NORMAL CITIZEN THAN BUILDING HELIPAD FOR HIMSELF IN HIS HOMETOWN? THIS MAN IS JUST A CRIMININAL IN DISGUISE AS A ANTI-CORRUPTION CRUSADER. FUCK THAT SLOW AND EXCUSES BUHARI. CLUELESS MAN. I GUESS THE HELIPAD IS WHAT WILL STOP BOKO HARAM FROM BOMBING. THE PREVIOUS ADMINISTRATION LEFT NOTHING YET HE'S BUILDING HELIPAD THAT IS NOT OF NATIONAL INTEREST. BUHARI IS REALLY AN OLODO GRADE ONE!
ReplyDeleteYes it's just a helipad but at whose xpense?Not dat it's too bad if FG foots d bill but it looks awkward on PMB.
ReplyDeleteDey don't need dat 4 now, dats misplaced of priority
ReplyDeleteEhee change has come indeed. Make i sidon dey dry my burukutu .
ReplyDeleteChange has arrived.....
ReplyDeleteStupid scumbags!
ReplyDeleteSenseless Nigerians!! Nothing wrong with having his helipad... It does not cost a fortune.. Chill everyone.
ReplyDeleteI'm not against him building a helipad but that shouldn't be his priority right now.
ReplyDeleteI hv an helipad ontop of my roof, so, wat stops buhari frm hvin one? Nextttttttttttt
ReplyDeleteLet him build anything, na him get sense pass, jona didn't do anything in his place but was busy decorating the north
ReplyDeleteAbeg wont the cost of building an helipad pay at least some of this osun state workers salary. Its well with us.
ReplyDeleteIt's not the cost that's the issue. The issue is whether it's a priority at the moment. The answer is NO! He said our treasury is empty, why does he not focus on governance than looking for ways to ease his discomfort. Travel by road oloshi, the rest of us are doing it
ReplyDeleteIF HE BUILDS THE HELIPAD IN HIS HOMETOWN, IT IS NOT ONLY HIM THAT WILL BE USING IT NA? ANYBODY THAT USES A HELICOPTER CAN ALSO LAND THERE BECAUSE THE HELIPAD IS GOVERNMENT PROPERTY. NIGERIANS STOP REASONING LIKE ILLITERATES PLS
ReplyDeleteBUHARI IS NOT THE OWNER OF HIS HOMETOWN AND HE IS NOT THE OWNER OF THE ROADS OR HELIPAD IN THAT TOWN TOO. SO ANYBODY THAT USES A HELIPCOPTER CAN USE THE HELIPAD TOO. THE HELIPAD IS FOR THE GOVERNMENT AND NOT FOR BUHARI. SO PLS FREE HIM AND FOCUS ON BETTER THINGS
ReplyDeleteHmm dats 9ja for u
ReplyDeleteHelipad doesn't cost anymore money so why re this people crying? He can build it with his own persona money of which I believe PMB can do it by himself.
ReplyDeletePLS LETS STOP ACTING LIKE ILLITERATES HERE. ANYBODY CAN USE THE HELIPAD BECAUSE IT IS OWNED BY THE GOVERNMENT. IT IS NOT OWNED BY BUHARI. ANYBODY TRAVELLING TO THAT TOWN BY HELIPCOPTER CAN ALSO USE IT JUST AS EVERYBODY TRAVELLING BY PLANE CAN USE THE AIRPORT. NAIJA CAN BEHAVE LIKE ILLITERATES SOMETIMES SHA. I TIRE FOR NAIJA. CHAI
ReplyDeleteMr president fulfilling his promises to the cows of the federal republic of Nigeria!! Lol
ReplyDeletePLS LETS STOP ACTING LIKE ILLITERATES HERE. ANYBODY CAN USE THE HELIPAD BECAUSE IT IS OWNED BY THE GOVERNMENT. IT IS NOT OWNED BY BUHARI. ANYBODY TRAVELLING TO THAT TOWN BY HELIPCOPTER CAN ALSO USE IT JUST AS EVERYBODY TRAVELLING BY PLANE CAN USE THE AIRPORT. NAIJA CAN BEHAVE LIKE ILLITERATES SOMETIMES SHA. I TIRE FOR NAIJA. CHAI
ReplyDeleteLET HIM GET OUT JOOR, LET HIM GO BACK TO ASO ROCK TO AND IMPLIMENT ALL HE PROMISED NIGERIANS COS WE ARE EPECTING A LOT FROM HIM
ReplyDeleteThe major idea is not the cost of building a helipad. Rather my concern is that with all the embezzlement going on in the NNPC. is this the right time to focus on the medium of transportation for a president's retreat to his hometown. I just believe that some unreasonable, unrepentant criminal minded individuals are already planning fast means to upload their pockets, as if the president is in a hurry to go home. BLOODY THIEVES
ReplyDeleteNa una sabi cldnt be bothered by this old man
ReplyDeleteAll of you asking for pictures are idiots.respect your old selves

ReplyDeleteGoogle is important....... Read to understand before you comment.
ReplyDeleteHehehehe, change dole, helipad dole,,change ya zo..sai baba.
ReplyDeleteNIGERIANS LET ME EDUCATE YOU:
ReplyDelete(1) BUHARI HAVE DONE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG.
(2) THE HELIPAD IS JUST LIKE AN AIRPORT BUT A LOT CHEAPER.
(3) THE HELIPAD IS OWNED BY THE GOVERNMENT NOT BY BUHARI
(4) ANY NIGERIAN CITIZEN TRAVELLING BY HELIPCOPTER TO DAURA IN KATSINA CAN ALSO USE THE HELIPAD JUST LIKE ALL NIGERIANS TRAVELLING WITH PLANES USE THE AIRPORTS
Hehehehe, change dole, helipad dole,,change ya zo..sai baba.
ReplyDeletePDP ILLITERATES: BUHARI SAID HE MET A "NEARLY EMPTY TREASURY". HE DID NOT SAY HE MET A TOTALLY EMPTY TREASURY. NA WAH FOR ILLITERACY FOR NAIJA SHA. KAI
ReplyDeleteIF HE BUILDS THE HELIPAD IN HIS HOMETOWN, IT IS NOT ONLY HIM THAT WILL BE USING IT NA? ANYBODY THAT USES A HELICOPTER CAN ALSO LAND THERE BECAUSE THE HELIPAD IS GOVERNMENT PROPERTY. NIGERIANS STOP REASONING LIKE ILLITERATES PLS
ReplyDeleteI DONT UNDERSTAND SOME NIGERIANS SHA. SO IF BUHARI DECEIDES TO BUILD AN AIRPORT IN KATSINA, WHO TOLD YOU THAT THE AIRPORT BELONGS TO HIM??? THE HELIPAD IS NOT FOR HIM OH. IT IS FOR ALL NIGERIANS JUST LIKE ALL NIGERIANS CAN USE DIFFERENT AIRPORTS. THE LEVEL OF ILLITERACY IN NIGERIA IS TERRIBLE
ReplyDeleteGEJ SUPPORTERS ARE JUST BITTER BECAUSE GEJ LOST. TRUTH BE TOLD. BUHARI HAS DONE NOTHING WRONG AND YOUR STUPID CRITICS WILL NOT REMOVE A HAIR FROM HIS SKIN. SO GET OVER YOURSELVES AND STOP THE BITTERNESS AND HATE
ReplyDeleteA Helipad is NOT an airport o!!!! Many people shouting about it have never seen a Helipad before!! Hehe ignorance is a disease!
ReplyDeleteits just a helipad, using a single helicopter is actually cheaper than using several convey of cars, arranging security on the roads b4 he reaches his home, so actually that helipad and the helicopter is actually cutting cost and reducing manpower
ReplyDeleteStill waiting 4 change 4rm Bubu..
ReplyDeleteOshlan,I BET YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS UN TILL YOU CHECKED GOOGLE..NICE ONE
ReplyDeleteNIGERIANS OH NIGERIANS
ReplyDeleteA HELIPAD IS A SLAP OF CONCRETE WITH LABELED WITH A "H" ON IT.
IT'S EXTREMELY CHEAP(UNDER $10K) TO MAKE AND WILL SAVE TONS OF MONEY IN PRESIDENTIAL CONVOYS IN FUTURE.
DAURA IS OUR VERSION OF CAMP DAVID NOW. YOU WANT THE PRESIDENT THERE IN ONE PIECE FOR REASONABNLY CHEAP.
Leave dis man for God sake
ReplyDeleteI am not sure so many people knows what helipad is, this will not even cost more than 3 million naira, I think as a President he is still entitled to something like that. As a president that isn't too much. Helipad is just a concrete where helicopters can land safely. OMG, can people get enlightened or research? This is not even a big thing for newspapers to publish. This will not even cost close to 3 million naira. Nigerians should be please take it easy with criticizing.
ReplyDeleteA HELIPAD IS JUST A CEMENTED SMALL PORTION OF A LAND. IT IS JUST LIKE CEMENTING YOUR COMPOUND. IT COSTS PEANUTS. I LIKE THE WAY BUHARI IS IGNORING NAGATIVE COMMENTS WITHOUT RESPONDING. IT SHOWS MATURITY AND FOCUS. HE HAS BETTER THINGS TO FOCUS ON THAN RESPOND TO SILLY COMMENTS. IF NA PDP THEM FOR DON RESPOND CHILDISHLY. NIGERIANS ARE BACKWARD SHA. STMCHEW
ReplyDeleteAnon 19:30am, Yes i also hardly see anything wrong when it comes to Buhari because he is straight forward and not corrupt. What about you PDP fanatic?, you also hardly see anything wrong when it comes to GEJ. So remove d log from your eyes first before accusing Juliet. Thumbs up Juliet!
