Wrong! That was captain Hadiza, and she was the first female Nigerian airways pilot, not the first commercial pilot. It was notable being that Nigerian airways was the national airline at the time. Captain Chinyere Kalu is undoubtedly and inarguably the first female commercial pilot in Nigeria.

wow you need a medal

Must you be tribalistic in everything? Guess what?
first female Professor In Nigeria is an afonja, Elizabeth Abimbola Awoliyi was the first female physician in Nigeria, Chief ‘Folake Solanke (SAN) is the first female Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Dr. Abimbola Ayodeji Abolarinwa is first female Urologist, Captain Abimbola Jayeola (Captain AB) is N igeria’s First Female Helicopter Captain, Mo Abudu She is the first woman in Africa to launch a pan African TV and so many other females from other tribes. So what was your point?[/s]

Shove your afonja list up your behind. I don't trust you lots anymore. Thats how you people lied for decades of having the pioneer professors in Nigeria. Lo and behold, when serious research was done, it was found that all first, pioneer professors in top SW universities were Igbos.

Like I said, the birthdate is a problem

This suggests she got her flying license in 1978 and spent most of her career teaching.

This would thus not stop Hadiza from being the first commercial pilot in the 80's.

In Biafraa, women are treated like men and posses just as equal rights! Not the same in Arewa and Oduwanikistan!

Really? Look here historical illiterate! Have u forgotten how female child is regarded and treated in igboland? Be honest with urself and stop this political hypocrisy.

Captain Chinyere Kalu was born in 1970. She is the first female pilot in Nigeria. A woman grew up in a very supportive big family. She decided to begin her career in Aviation because of her adventurous aunt. Her aunt was well famous for traveling abroad a lot of times. They had the matriarch in their family, so her aunt approved Chinyere’s decision and so a lady began her career into aviation.

The first female Nigerian pilot is Chinyere Kalu, who studied in Anglican Girls Grammar School, which is in Yaba, in Lagos. Then she was trained as a Commercial and Private Pilot. She also took a few aviation courses in Zaria, UK, and the USA.

Chinyere Kalu always wanted to travel the world and have an adventurous lifestyle. So she decided to take up the truly male dominated and very difficult career in order to become the first female pilot in Nigeria.

Nigeria first female fighter pilot is married to Mr. Okoli Kali and has children. 6 years ago President Goodluck Jonathan proclaimed her the Chief Executive and Rector of Nigerian College of Aviation Technology (which is mostly known as NCAT) - which is the biggest aviation training institute in the whole continent.

Before that, Chinyere Kalu was leading the College’s Flying School. There Chinyere Kalu worked as a contractual instructor.

Thanks for a job well done, congratulations to the pilot as well. Whether female or male, that job is not a job I envy. Very technical and brain tasking.

However, I don't think this woman is/ has always been the first Female Pilot in Nigeria. I have seen this caption several times but I do not have enough facts to counter it.

There was a female Pilot that was murdered by her driver and house boy either 15 or 20 years ago in Lagos. Her body was dumped in the soak away pit or something. It was neighbours who she was nice to, who felt they haven't seen her for days couple with the fact that stench was coming out of her apartment that alerted the Police.
The guys were arrested and the news was all over the dailies. We really need to keep records in our Obodo Naija.

Tazdroid:
what has that got to do with her achievements?

Yes it has something to do with her achievement, guts

She's the first Nigerian female commercial pilot and not the first Nigerian female combat pilot (armed forces) - BIG difference!

The first female combat pilot is a hausa girl; the first female Nigerian airways pilot is a hausa girl; the first female helicopter pilot is a Yoruba girl. So nothing spectacular here. The tribe factor doesn't come into play. Rather, it was just a matter of OPPORTUNITY in these cases.

Sir, who among these women flew an aircraft first in Nigeria? Let us abrogate the dicotomy as to commercial flight, military flight, helicopter and Nigerian Airways. By the way, was Nigerian Airways not a commercial flight moving people outside of Nigeria or within Nigeria?

Can people be this biased? The FIRST FEMALE PILOT IN NIGERIA is Captain Chinyere Kalu. What is wrong with this indomie generation?

Hadiza was the first female airforce pilot, but the first woman to ever PILOT A PLANE is CAPTAIN CHINYERE KALU.

Inferiority will not kill you

Its like saying Late Mrs kuti (fela's mom) was 'only' the first to drive a car, but she isn't the first to drive a police or military van, who wants to know that? Nonsense!

Kobicove:
I don't believe this lady is the first Nigerian female pilot...

There was another lady before her

She is the first
