What are the smallest towns in the world?

A town is a place that is larger than a village but smaller than a city. Even though many people make the mistake of assuming that a town and a city are the same things, this is not the case.

A city is a larger version of a town. It has more amenities like a good transport system, communication, sanitation and housing. A town is also less populated than a city.

There are many differences between them which include economy, geography and demographics. If you’re curious to know the smallest towns, you’ll soon find out.

There are places in the world that so many people have never even heard of. For example, did you know that the Vatican City is the world’s smallest country with a landmass of 0.44km²?

This list will, however, focus on the top 10 smallest towns in the world.

Who are the private jet owners in Nigeria?

Having a private jet seems to be one of the major ways that various financially elite Nigerians choose to show off their wealth and opulence. It is not an understatement when we tell you that private jet owners in Nigeria belong to a very minute minority in the country.

They range from celebrities to popular businessmen, to even politicians and of course, pastors; who for some reasons are always being criticized for owning private jets.

While no pastor or politician would be criticised here as there is no need for that, we would still do our best to satisfy your curiosity on the matter. We would take a look at these private jet owners, what they do for a living and what types of jet they own.

This curiosity has always been a lingering existence in the minds of the average Nigerians, but it was fuelled to new heights in 2017, during the wedding celebration of the daughter of Ibrahim Babangida in Niger state, when about 30 private jets were said to have touched down in Minna.

These private jets belonged mainly to Nigerian politicians. There are still a lot of Nigerian individuals out there who own a private jet. It is important to know that it costs between $2.3million- $50million on average to buy a private jet and $700,000 to $4million per year, just to maintain.

These figures of course largely depend on the size of the air crafts.

List Of Private Jet Owners In Nigeria

So who are the Nigerians capable of owning these financial air beasts? Well, we would classify them into four groups:

Politicians with private jets.
Celebrities with private jets
Businessmen with private jets
Pastors with private jets.

Nigerian Politicians Who Own Private Jets

Yes, there is a popular notion that describes Nigeria’s politicians as crooks and corrupts swindlers of money meant to improve the lives of the common folk.

Sadly, this notion is not without reason, and the fact that these politicians own private jets does nothing to deter this notion. Here is a list of a few politicians who openly own private jets.

[bs_smart_list_pack_start][/bs_smart_list_pack_start]

Senator Ali Modu Sheriff

Owning a total of four (4) private jets has made the able senator rank second in the list of people with the largest fleet of private jets in the country, a feat that he shares with the popular pastor, Bishop David Oyedepo.

In the past, he held significant political positions, some of which include; Member of The House of Assembly and Governor of Borno State. This esteemed member of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has jet a fleet that is made up of one Gulfstream G650 and three Dornier’s.

Orji Uzor Kalu
