When did buda do that? There can be an unqualified pilot if he doesnt meet the strict criteria to get into flight school but was admitted using quotas
huh

Do you see your hubris and ignorance? Getting into flight school is not the problem. The criteria is not difficult. The problem is passing the courses and completing your flight hours.

You cannot be a pilot without completing your hours in flight school. No such thing as an unqualified pilot!

You have gone through so much lying just to defend a racist. So disgusting

Anyone can fly a plane with minimal instructions, what raumdeuter or Charlie Kirk are talking about is if the person is the most qualified, the best from the basket or the person was selected even if they are not the best option because of their color.

This is common sense.
Anyone can fly a plane with minimal instructions? Are you on drugs or what? Do you think aeroplanes are bicycles?

Which pilots flies on minimal instructions? Or you think the minimum flight hours is beans?

Anyone that is not emotional can understand the logic behind that especially Nigerians
Budaatum has destroyed your Nigerian sideshow.

Please is there anything like an unqualified American pilot, as Charlie Kirk insinuated?

Charlie was not wrong and was not racist, That was the argument he made which is very applicable to quotas used for certain people in Nigeria to guarantee outcomes. Shockingly most Nigerians who frown at that in Nigeria are supporting it in America
What rubbish are you saying? Charlie Kirk was talking about American pilots and you are here talking about Nigerians.

Charlie Kirk questioned if a black pilot is qualified. Is there anything like an unqualified pilot?

Don't you worry. You'd stop thinking and actually know after you've been here long enough.
I'm really worried for the guy. We were talking about how some things (cars) are expensive in Nigeria, then he just shifted to Hezbollah and Obama.

This is how madness starts. shocked

Black or women is not the disqualifying, Its the quota system that guarantee that a certain number

If I tell you that admission into flight school is 90% but we must pick 10 people from Osun, 10 from Gombe, 10 from Abia. What now happens if we have more than 10 people from Abia who score 90, but we only have 6 people who scored 90 from Osun?
That means you have t drop some over 90% from Abia because its pegged at 10 candidates
If you are trying to enforce 10 people from Osun, that will mean you have to pick 4 people who did not get up to 90%

In the future when passengers hear a pilot is from Osun, then they start to wonder, Boy, I hope he's qualified or Are you one of those under 90%?
There are standard minimum flying hours for pilots in America. There is no reduction in standards or pass mark for pilots.

Instead of talking rubbish, just admit Charlie Kirk was dead wrong and racist.

I hope you aware that Hezbolla from their South America bases and sleepers in America weretrafficking cocaine and other hard drugs to mainland America. They was laundering the money by buying American cars and selling them abroad especially in Nigeria.
They were sending over 2000 used cars a month to Nigeria.
When the DEA investigation Project Cassandra was about to start making arrests Obama stopped them. He was negotiating the jpcoa deal with Hezbollah who are sponsored by Iran.
Another reason to hate Obama.
Talk about competence also .
I think you are on drugs.

What you are saying makes no sense. Hezbollah don turn car dealer huh

You should be asking Merrick Garland who paid Fani Willis $2 million to go after Trump. That's competence
There is no evidence that Garland funded Willis. That is a politically motivated lie.

Shame on you.

Nice try to shift the facts away. Noem, Bondi, Hesgeth and Patel are all unqualified for their jobs. Incompetent reverse DEI hires by Trump

The Toyota or Honda brand makes the mileage almost irrelevant here in the US. But I digress.

When you purchase a car abroad, you will be required to pay tax on it. Ship it out, then pay tax and customs duties in Nigeria, and then you will start thinking about profit margin.
If you moved a car costing 1500 dollars from USA to Nigeria, you would be able to sell it for 5,000 dollars

What makes Hegseth Noem and Patel unqualified for their jobs
GracieX3:
Please, was Kristi Noem not even removed by Trump himself after her silly controversies?

Have Hesgeth and Patel not made blunder after blunder with leaks and misstatements?

All three of them do not have the necessary experience for their jobs.

Then let's talk about Pam Bondi who disgraced herself in front of the senate as she couldn't handle simple questions at a hearing. She like a belligerent witness. A disgrace.

As for Charlie Kirk, he used the word "qualified". He questioned if a black pilot is qualified. Please is there such a thing as an unqualified pilot whether black or white?

How is it overpriced?
A Nigerian used Toyota camry 2002 is (high mileage) 2.7 to 3 million Naira (2100 dollars)

An American used Toyota camry 2002 is (high mileage) about 1500-1700 dollars.

Keep in mind that the American used is in better condition.

The late Senator John McCain. How was his flight record?

When you bring in people of colour and women into hiring pilots, you will lower standards.
You are a good driver I guess, a lot of careful drivers with plenty of experience are not good drivers.
Wrt appointment, the democrats will never appreciate Trump choices , they always look for reasons to denigrate them. I don't join lyn h mobs just because you want me to join.

ben, for once, I agree with madam Gracie. This is true. I'll advise you invest in Naija now o, before the gravytrain leave you behind.
I was specific in certain industries.

Oil, technology and automotive.

All priced in dollars and overpriced in Nigeria.

Any other industry, you are on your own

You don't understand how these things work. Factor tax, shipping and other cost plus profit.

But we are talking about overstays in Nigeria
That is the point that I am making. People still buy overpriced cars in Nigeria.

And many of them live the kind of life in Nigeria they could never dream of at home.
Lol. There are two types of ignorant people in this regard.

1. Nigerians who have never left Nigeria and yearn for better life abroad. "The grass is greener on the other side".

2. Nigerians who have stayed abroad for decades and have no idea what Nigeria is currently like.

I understand because I move between countries.

Lol.....if you knew how much money foreigners make in Nigeria.

Are you aware that cars, technology and data are more expensive in Nigeria?

A car I would buy for 8,000 pounds in UK (16 million Naira) will cost me 25 million Naira. It would even be cheaper to buy a right handed car in uk and convert it than to buy the same car in Nigeria

Never, a plane is not like a car where you can park , get out and resume journey.
It's a problem when an airline starts looking at what race to hire.
I have been on a flight where a flight returned a few minutes after takeoff over a storm , we were forced to turn back. Cost the company quite some amount of money. In the morning they sent the Chief pilot with another plane to collect us. At that time a flight cost the airline $5000 per hour all factors constant.
As ICT head,I was aware they blamed the first pilot for that debacle ,other airlines took off successfully apart from ours.
Stop shifting the goal post.


Charlie Kirk questioned if a black pilot is qualified. Deepsight asked you if you know any pilot that is not qualified (did not do the minimum flight hours or training)

Either Charlie kirk made a foolish, racist remark or all black (and all races) are qualified.

Furthermore, diversity includes Hispanic, Native American, and Asian races. Why does Charlie Kirk only focus on black men and women when it comes to DEI.

The biggest DEI incompetent hires in government in the last year have all been Trump appointments- Hesgeth, Noem, Patel- all incompetent and unqualified for their jobs

Nobody comes to Nigeria and overstays. They all regret the moment they step foot into the country. At best 2 people overstayed their visa 🤣
Do you know how much Lebanese, Chinese and British expats make from oil industry in Nigeria?

Poverty and low IQ are worrying you. The British professor I told you about made about 150,000 pounds sending over 400 students from Nigeria to UK.

Who are those overstaying 🤣
huh

Are you that low of IQ that you cannot reason that there are people that would overstay their visa in Nigeria?

1. Poorer African countries/neighbours- Niger, Togo.....
2. Chinese expatriates/migrants/dependants- some were deported years back.

I even had a british professor who had to renew his visa by force. Back in the early 2,000s, he made money from recruiting Nigerian students into British universities. He overstayed his visa and didnt care because he was making so much money and there was no enforcement.

Simps and people who have lost their ways are all over the place in the US, pretending to be activists. These are just paid noise makers and freeloaders looking for easy money. MLK will weep over and over if he comes back today to see what liberals have turned activism to.

Gone are the days when you read the word celeb and you’d think it’s some honest, smart, well brought up person with good home training that’s the likes of Mel Gibson and others. Nowadays what people call celebs are deluded, wayward, liberal idiots, who have become role models for thugs and drug addicts destroying the very fabric of our civilisation.

So if you have many of them participating in some useless protest, do you think I give a rat ass what they’re doing in there?
