He is not unemployed O! He works with an oil servicing company and spend his free time or non-work hours on his personal project.

which one have you produced? Why that silly statement. Somebody that is not even educated made this effort while thousands that are graduates are sitting down and folding their arm waiting for the government and miracles. You better close that gutter that you call mouth make we see road pass. Mumu and ode at the same time. grin

I saw this on Channels news this morning. I believe what this man needs is support. For the plane to have moved means he actually knows what he's doing.

But I dare not fly on the plane sha o grin
Re: Man Builds Light Aircraft In Bayelsa by OkparaIgbo: 10:03am On Jan 28, 2013
This is wonderful to see. Congratulations to whomever built the craft as this was my dream project when I was a lot younger but lack of enough support, much technical know how and destructive comments like the many ones above meant that I left the project. But I'm glad a young brain has achieved this and for those asking stupid questions, get it into your head that he has scaled most of the issue in craft design by putting in all the ailerons and movable surfaces on the wing for banking. I'm sure with a good engine and propeller fans in the right direction, that plane will fly and with a lil more innovation it will land too. Kudos bro

You don't just weild iron up in the shape of an helicopter and say you've done something!
This is a big waste of time if you ask me, only if he knows what it takes to make an aircraft can credit be given him for making an aircraft(one that actually flies)
I can make a box out of a carton, but that doesn't mean I've made a T.V.
He should learn the basic principles of an aircraft first, then he can try again, this time he shld make it fly.
On the positive note, he has the drive and initiative to do this, definitely he can achieve the impossible.

you must be the biggest fool to call a toy that cannot fly an aircraft, on the issue of productivity just tell me anywhere you are in Nigeria then I will tell you my worth and you will see them physically, you think anybody that comes to nairaland is a job seeker. You must be a nonentity

HAH: Please don't call this an aircraft because it is not flying. rather call it a toy or a wheel barrow cos any road side welder can construct that.

Nice one,good job!!! Kudos to the man.. Na God go punish any goat wey come begin say "this is the 21st century,who needs this local plane".. Yes,this is the 21st century but we have to start from the basics before we can move to more advanced technologies.. We want to understand the working principles first before jumping..
Even if i see Nigerian man wey produce black and white tv locally,i go still praise am die cos e no easy.. We have limited resources,no government support,our universities technology wise are rubbish but still yet we still dey try to produce things..
God bless this man and may he increase his knowledge a thousand times... AMEN..

Anuofia like you - when the Wright brothers were building and test flying their first crafts in the early 20th century, did they need certification to get their contraption off the ground? No! Stop being a dream killer. Make we hear word.

Kudos to this ingenious Nigerian who has made me proud of his effort. God bless him and others like him who DO rather than talk and have the PhD (Pull him/her down) syndrome. Shior

Teenage Money: Unemployment or underemployment need not keep anyone from fulfilling their dreams says a young man from Brass in Bayelsa state, who in homestead has built a light plane that he hopes will fly someday soon.

36 year old Ifiemi Felagha, works with an oil servicing firm but spent all his free time in the past eight years working on living his light plane dream and he’s seen it through by building a light plane, named Destiny.

According to the parent of this young man without tertiary education, has had a knack for putting things together since his childhood.

The aircraft is however yet to take-off because Ifiemi is not a trained Pilot. He is now consulting with aviation experts but for now, he keeps moving the aircraft on his make-shift runway.


36 years old 'young' man indeed!

SOME NAIRALANDERS ARE SO FUNNY. I AM LARKING AT YOU. THE WRIGHT BROTHERS HAD KNOWLEDGE OF PHYSICS AND AERODYANMICS. THEY HAD THEORIES AND MATHEMATICAL EXPERIMENTS WRITTEN ON PAPER AND IN THEIR BRAINS ON THE PHYSICS IT WOULD TAKE AN OBJECT TO FLOAT AND MOVE IN THIN AIR..DOES YOUR FRIEND HAVE ONE? ANUM-PANU.

Whic qualification again.. This is one of our problem.. Una too like paper qualification.. This not america.. Let the man finish his work and if tested and declared not fit for action,then fine.. But looking for qualification without allowing the person to show you his talent will never lead thsi country anywhere because most of the so-called qualified graduates only know how cram theories and notes written by a genius who didn't go to school in the first place..
The qualification we should be asking for in Nigeria should be how good a person's brain and creativity is...
