He is indeed a child of providence who by dint of self-discipline, uncommon focus and hard work transformed the story of his life. Meet Chief Chika Emenike - the founding Chairman and CEO of Kotec Group of Companies
He was born on 23rd July 1969 in Am­anator Ozuakoli Urualla in Ideato North Local Government Area of Imo State, to the family of late Chief and Mrs. Alexander Emenike. Young Chika had his early edu­cation in Urualla and Nnewi in the 1980s.

Favour Nnaemeka ―Nigerian born youngest Pilot(20
Years)

Twenty-year-old Favour Nnaemeka Odozor was penultimate
Saturday in South Africa, awarded license as a commercial
pilot, making him the youngest in South Africa and Nigeria
commercial pilot.
He talks about his journey to becoming a pilot and what he
has planned next;
Q: How do you feel being the youngest commercial pilot in
Nigeria and South Africa?
Favour Odozor: It is not a feeling out of the ordinary; it was
that of a childhood dream of being a commercial pilot which
finally came through and at the age of 20. That I was able to
achieve this in countries advanced in aviation like Nigeria and
South Africa, is equally rewarding. But I know there are many
younger ones out there who do have the wherewithal to
achieve this even while younger than I am now.
Q: Could you tell us a bit about yourself?
I am, was born in Umuoma Amucha in Njaba Local
Government Area of Imo State by Mr and Mrs Odozor. I
attended Adimery nursery/primary Oguta, Imo state. I had my
secondary education in Lagos and Enugu before proceeding to
Caritas University, Enugu State where I enrolled for Computer
Science and Information Technology. I deferred this in my
second year to go to South Africa’s prestigious Afrika Union
Aviation Academy to undergo training as a commercial pilot.
This I have completed within a good time and currently
licensed on a multi engine airplane with instrument rating.
Q: What were your aspirations growing up?
I’d always desired to become a pilot right from childhood. I
remember always running out of the building just to catch a
glimpse of an airplane on hearing its cruising sound possibly
at 36 – 38 thousand feet overhead. It usually depressed me
the moment it disappears. Then my mother would calm me
down by saying ‘don’t worry one day God will make this a
reality but focus on your studies for now in order to obtain
brilliant results if you would like to be a pilot’. That motivated
me a lot that I made sciences my bread and butter while at
school just to achieve this dream. Copied:
www.
Q: Could you explain what it felt like for you when you were
awarded the license?
I felt very good when being awarded this license. I pursed it
vigorously and competed with many other students from all
over the world with some dropping from the school halfway
into the training. Also the presence of Nigerian dignitaries at
the graduation was very heartwarming. I’ve never been so
proud, as a Nigerian achieving what I had. I felt honoured by
their presence, meeting and sharing photos with them. They
are very humble as against what you would read in the
newspapers about them. Yet I felt very accomplished but then
also realized that there is even more to do from here onwards

Same way the net worth of ibo musicians are so inflated. P-Square always sit comfortably at your arbitrary lists annually with no figures to back them up. Number of shows, tours, endorsement, album sales, royalties, licensing, cover gigs, NOTHING! You just type random shiit at the comfort of your mud huts. I follow these guys on IG and SC, they average about 2 or 3 shows per month. Do you know how many shows Wizkid or Davido get per month? Do you how much they made from their respective tours? Na wah for una o grin

I wonder that is like 15 billion naira! What the entire south east make in Igr per annum! They can lie more than the devil.

No mind am! angry Before Daniel even qualified, the youngest pilot was even another Yoruba person - a young girl called Imoleayo Adebule who got her pilot's license long before she clocked 23!! shocked
Re: Yorubas Are The Most Industrious,Richest & Educated Tribe in Nigeria & Africa by laudate: 9:35pm On Aug 20, 2017
At 23, Imoleayo Adebule is one of Nigeria’s youngest female pilots. Intelligent, daring, and confident are three words that best describe the tenacity with which she passed through one of the most complex schools in the world – Flying School, to obtain her license as a Commercial Pilot. She graduated at the top of her class at the Nigerian College of Aviation Technology, Kaduna, she now works with Aero Contractors where she is making giant strides.



Born on 25th September, 1988 in Kaduna, she sailed through Primary and Secondary Schools faster than most of her peers. At 15, she was already through with her Secondary education at Royal College, Kaduna. Then came her search for an admission into the University where she wanted to study Mechanical Engineering. This was a very frustrating period for her. It was during her search for admission that she heard about an Engineering course being offered at the Nigerian College of Aviation Technology, Kaduna.

To Imoleayo, becoming a pilot was “fate”. After crossing the hurdle of getting admitted for the course, Imoleayo was faced with another challenge, raising money to pay for the course. At that time, it cost a whooping =N=7.25 million naira to attend the Flying School and till date, she is still awed at the way God provided the funds for her.

"I finally got an admission but I couldn’t raise the money to get myself into school. We did the interview in November and were to begin school in April, so I had about five months to raise the money. I wrote hundreds of letters to various airlines, various companies. I wrote to my state government (Ogun) and they told my dad that the money was too much, and the government couldn’t raise that money, that they could use that money to train about 10 doctors instead of training one pilot. I was so sad.

Luckily for me, one of my instructors at the College gave me the names of three airlines, that I should write to- Pan African Airlines, Aero Contractors and Bristow Helicopters. I wrote to the three of them and fortunately, it was Aero that called back. I went in for an oral interview. They sponsored three girls in the class. Amazingly, we got our fees paid the day our admission was to be nullified, if we didn’t get our fees paid.

Eventually, Aero Contractors’ investment in her paid off, as she was the best graduating student, in her class. She was the second person to fly solo in her class, which means, flying the plane without an instructor. Since then, Imoleayo has flown hundreds of times to various parts of the country and beyond its shores. She holds a Commercial Pilot’s License and was recently promoted to the rank of First Officer. She has been well exposed as she goes to different parts of the world every six months, for training and occasionally, when she wants to learn the grips of a new aircraft.
