Lemme guess. " Graduate" of UNN or IMUST or UNIZIK ? grin

No wonder you all flee to the West for better life and education. grin
These are some of the best universities in Nigeria. They’ve churned out countless governors, multiple CBN governors, endless ministers, uncountable SANs and even a president of Nigeria. These universities produced people whose achievements your entire bloodline could only dream of.

Then of course, people like you will always expose your ignorance so effortlessly. If you were actually educated and not just pretending to be, you won't be looking down on these institutions simply because they’re in the region you love to hate...... that’s pure illiterate behaviour no truly educated person will do that

Exactly. EUC are for companies or businesses.

I recently got a DJI drone for personal use, and All o did was to register it with NCAA for 5k and was issued an authorization that I could print.
is the authorization for 1 a one time use or a Permanent one?

I tried to fly a drone around Egbeda, I received a message on the drone that the erea I was about to fly is geo-fenced, and that I should register with NCAA and obtain a clearance.

The drone even provided the link for the registration on the NCAA website.

The registration portal requested for among other info, my residential address, my NIN, the make and the serial number of the drone, the purpose of the drone. I even uploaded my NIN slip.

After the verification that took some days, my registration was approved and I was asked to pay 5k. The portal did not say if the payment was for one approval or a one time payment.
Perhaps you were close to shasha? Which is very close to the airport...my friend flies a drone here in ipaja no message yet...🤔

This is a sad development for innocent drone hobbyists who might be unaware that they could wind up in a net over their hobby.


Oddly enough, drones are easily available from online sellers located in Nigeria, which shows that those resellers import their drones with ease.
The way I understand it, you need some form of documentation to use a drone of certain capacities. I'd be surprised if ALL drones now require a licence.

The country is failed because of people like you, if everyone obeys simple rules and regulations of Nigeria, maybe it won't have failed.
When everything about you is to bring county down,why won't it falls?

Ignorant they say, is not an excuse in court of law, not even a graduate and professional who is supposed to know better.
I'd advice you read again what I wrote. I was never said getting approval for your drone is wrong.

My grudge is with the DSS as that is not their duty to arrest a journalist with an unlicensed drone. With the high level of insecurity that shouldn't be their problem. But to score cheap political point and eye service.

The bandits are still in our bushes, what are the dss doing about it?

What is drone that people should need a license for. Drone is just a toy as for ist not a military drone: how can we develop if people cannot own a drone. Same way police harassing people on the streets for carrying a laptop how can we develop as a people?

In the US and china students see drones as a project they need to carried out. Our university student’s should be building drones by now. Its a must project currently worldwide.

All over the world ourside of North Korea drone is only restricted in certain areas.

To ply drone is certain area you will need permission to do that and its not a license.

An example is airport, military zone or government area. You will need a permission.


But for party, media coverage, church programs, events and other construction site or projects, schools and down town you don’t need any permission.
Sccarrr, please read this and be educated

I didn't say so. I said that the licence for drones where made compulsory because of the escalated insecurity in Nigeria for non military drones that ordinarily do not need approval.

Thank you.

Those are not real drones. Fake drones like djvic and co.


Real drones don't come pre built or built.

Re: DSS Detains Journalist Zainab Sodiq Over Drone by Terenga: 12:28pm On Jul 09
we are in era of insecurity, bandits, Boko Haram and other affiliated terrorists, so the DSS has to suspect everyone that carries a drone until proven legitimate. I don't blame them, Sha; it's for our good.

Why are you contradicting yourself? You said the rising insecurity is why the government tightened drone regulations and made licenses compulsory so the military can monitor their use. Yet you went on to call Nigeria a failed country.

Make it make sense. How does being security-conscious and trying to reduce the risks associated with unregulated drone use equal being a failed country?

Isn't that exactly what countries all over the world do to protect their airspace and national security? So why are you acting surprised just because the Nigerian military believes it's the best approach?

And people like you are hypocrites. If a major drone-related disaster happened tomorrow, you'd be the first to point to countries with strict drone licensing laws and ask, "Why can't this failed country do the same?"

Your hypocrisy is loud... and annoying. 😹

My grudge is with the dss. What business does the dss has with the journalist. There are pressing security issues in the country that need their attention. For instance, it's nearly two months since those kids were kidnapped in Ibadan.
