My
usual early morning read of West Coast African news online captured the below
article by Sahara Reporters: “How Aviation Minister Stella Oduah Forced
Cash-Strapped Aviation Agency To Spend $1.6 Million On Two BMW Armored Cars For
Her”. And linked as follows http://mobile.saharareporters.com/news-page/how-aviation-minister-stella-oduah-forced-cash-strapped-aviation-agency-spend-16-million-t
Analyzing
the article:
While
I think I can understand the point this author is trying to make, I simply have
to point out the level of stupidity within this article. It is not even
reasonable that two BMW’s would cost $1.6 million even if they were armored. A 2014 BMW sedan of this make and model would typically cost between $74,000 and
$141,000. I find it hard to believe if not impossible for the “armoring” of the
car to cost $1.32 million using $141,000 figure price for 2014 BMW 760Li series models.
It
is pretty clear here that the author is trying to point out the misuse of
government dollars. It is disturbing, however, that he would go to the lengths
he did. This article is clearly a lie. As an author integrity is everything. It
is clear that this author has no integrity. He has ruined his image and can not
be trusted to report events and happenings in a reliable manner. It is very
disappointing that an author would make up such extreme lies to portray such a
waste of government spending. I believe that lies are not needed to expose the
wasteful government spending. A little bit of research will expose an enormous
amount of wasteful spending.
Integrity
is everything, once you author an article like this, you will never have it
back.
