remark D: [s]I can understand when people hate (for whatever reason).... I mean... Israel is surrounded by people who wish they be wiped off the face of the earth.... and everyone can't or doesn't have to live every other person)

but what I don't get is why people, or HOW... they lie so profusely, intentionally, and even when they are caught... are not even willing to own up to their bold-face lies....

I find these kind of people despicable, desperate, devilish and will be doomed - by the very lies they have made their craft...

The reasons for telling their lies is also shocking...

You will lie and intentionally cook up so-called facts, twist phrases here and there (and then pull out a dictionary to start defining words which are normally used without ambiguity...) turn stories on their heads ... all for what?.... for the pulling down and/or portrayal in bad light of a people that are succeeding, and endeavoring to further succeed and progress in this life....

The crab-syndrome a poster mentioned in another was so apt and correct that the righteous Gbawe unashamedly came in to preach his long gospel/epistle.... but will never show up when lies and lies upon lies are coming from his brothers...

The seemingly smart ones amongst them, referring to Katsumoto is guilty of this too... all the way down to the dumbest of them.. the girl called Tinaksai or whatever her name is...

From strawman-based arguments and questions Kats concocts to utter ridiculous comments and long-lasting lies continuously being propaged by the rest of the tribalists here...

As I said.. hate- I can understand, but bold faced and downright straight up lies....? I don't get... maybe its just me...[/s]

Bristow Helicopters to train pilots with $4.8m

Posted by: Kelvin Osa-Okunbor in Business May 31, 2013

Bristow Helicopters is to spend $4.8million (about N758.4m) on training of its pilots, the Managing Director, Capt. Akin Oni, has said’


[img]http://www.proudlyafrican.info/uploads/files/bristow-helicopter_nigeria-vol1_other-1.jpg[/img]


The said it would spend $300, 000 each on 16 pilots this year.

Oni said the training of pilots, engineers and other technical personnel was a yearly exercise by the company, adding that the current pilots would be trained at the Ilorin Aviation College, in Kwara State.

He explained that the selected candidates were picked from 2,000 applicants, while the training is expected to last for between seven and eight weeks.

He informed that after the initial training at Ilorin, they would proceed for further training to Bristow Academy in Florida, United States of America.

The General Manager, Human Resources, Bristow Helicopters, Mr Femi Collins, in a recent interview, with Correspondent, Abel Orukpe, said that apart from the fact that the rotary wing giant will continue to train Nigerian pilots and engineers to reduce the number of expatriates working in the country, the company’s target is to have 100 per cent Nigerian pilots. He also spoke on the number of Nigerians Bristow has trained as pilots in the last five years, and that training of pilots is a huge investment. Excerpts

How many Nigerians is Bristow Helicopters training this year, and where?

As it is in our tradition in Bristow Helicopter, we are about to train another set of Nigerians to become pilots in our ever expanding Nigeria aviation industry. This is not the first time we are doing that. In fact, in Bristow we are noted for incubating Nigerian pilot in the rotary wing of the aviation industry. We have the highest percentage of Nigerians trained as pilots in the helicopter wing of the aviation industry. In other words, there is virtually no helicopter aviation company that you do not see ex-Bristow pilots well bread in the Bristow tradition of safety. We do this yearly, and this year, out of over 2,000 candidates that applied for sponsorship, we have selected 16, and these people are today being given final briefs before they depart for their various trainings. The training itself is divided into two. Many of them who have no experience in aviation at all would be sent to the Nigerian College of Aviation Technology (NCAT) in Zaria, and the College of Aviation in Ilorin. The idea is for them to be given an introductory lesson in flying. And they will be there for between seven and eight weeks.

Another reason why we are sending them to these schools is to take advantage of the local expertise in the aviation training in Nigeria so as to ensure that the Nigerian local content policy is deepened.

After successfully completing these seven to eight weeks, they will now be sent to Bristow Academy in Florida United States.

manny4life: $300k for one person?

The Managing Director of the so-called Bristow is a fvcking liar, to get your flight ratings up to CP-CFII, IR is [b]no more than 60k [/b]and that includes EVERYTHING, not to talk of helicopter, na wa o... That's like 5x the amount.

agbameta:


What's there to lie about? Depending on what you are offering, you can charge whatever you want for your product?

Is you 60k going to fly you to Florida for more intensive training?

Quality is better than quantity my friend, common sense should tell you that.

Bristow is the premier Helicopter company in Nigeria for a reason.

manny4life:

STOP arguing shitt, FL is the center of flight training and yes $60,000 is more than enough to get ALL your licenses and ratings let alone for an helicopter. This includes flight training, resource and materials, aeronautical class, FAA written exam and check rides, etc, although may not include room and board.

Whether they are premier or not is not relevant, what I said is $300k for a flight training is a FAT LIE. If you talk too much, I will post flight rates are and you will see for yourself. $300k is an inflated amount, PERIOD.

agbameta:



Geezzzz lmao.


This rubbish essay over what? So what the Nigerian air force is building helicopter school in your village? Who cares?

All I'm saying is, ease off on the silly chest beating about the first in Nigeria or Africa which was a lie as usual because there are tons of Helicopter training school in Nigeria and Bristow is one of them.

I don't even see any sane human approaching any Nigerian government related entity for such training unless you are ready to crash and die off malfunctioning and badly maintained helicopter.


All I'm saying is, stop making up lies or silly claims about first here and there.


Aviation college dey Zaria and another one dey for Ilorin in Kwara state. Abge relax joo.

agbameta:


What's stopping you? As if it matters? Is it your business or are you in any position to dictate to businesses what to charge for their product and services? All schools/colleges/Universities or any training institution charge the same for their services ni?

What kind of silly rubbish talk is this?

Obviously, some folks are paying for it..This is their program and this is what they charge for it... period. The fact that a broke asssss like you can not afford it is your own personal wahala..

remark D: [s]You son of a ----

Call it rubbish essay or whatever tickles your fancy, but listen, I don't know what you believe in, God or not, Karm or whatever, but know this: that your obsessive lies, accusations, deception and mischief.... which you have decided to trade for honesty & truth against others all the time, when its called for and when its not.... has a way of returning back to you.... you'll no longer be lieing against others, but yourself lol.
You know who the father of all liars is.... keep it up... self-destruction and lagging behind is what you are doing with your own acts and behavior... while the people you want to keep looking at what they doing, with whom, how, what they've accomplished, how the government is faring, the economy etc... is what you are constantly looking at and comparing to your own ish west of the Niger,

Keep hating, whom god has blest, no man can curse/effectively lie again or drag backward or hold down....

Liar, keep lieing... the ones we can burst here on NL, we definatly burst when we have the time,

Poisonous tongues full of vile, keep spewing ish... good day, sir.
---
So master of deception, carry on. Continue.... trying to, one word at a time, begin twisting "international HELICOPTER college" and hope to in another several comments or pages, arrive at "Aviation college" as you've tried now to slip away from your bold faced lie.... green snake in a green grass... you aint smart okay? [/s]

manny4life:




[s]You can see the option A and B, I pity your stupidity at times, imagine my broke ass cannot afford it.... LOL, Bros, I went through flight training school, only that I did not pursue it any further (a sad mistake I regret today). I have one of my license, when I'm ready, I'm headed next for my three other licenses and ratings.

On that note, tell you brother at Bristow helicopters to STOP swindling his company of their money. Bristow in FL does not charge 1/2 or even 1/3rd or even 1/4 of what he's estimating... Onye oshi.[/s]

ifyalways: Bristow is a private firm and can charge "any" amount for their services. Simple market demand. You think its exorbitant?, come run your own. Keeping a company afloat and running "smoothly" in this country is not easy.
Btw, Bristow offers yearly, free cadet training for Nigerians too.

@topic, lovely. Hope it stays afloat and free of the usual "local content killers" ie (corruption, no maintenance)
