The last time I spoke to the CFI in ilorin, he said they are desperately in need of instructors

Kekereekun123:
What you want to be in future - pilot. Not knowing what was ahead. 9m lol

ArticleBeast:

Write to your senator or governor. My cousin was lucky under GEJ era to benefit from such benevolence. I know it is frustrating but keep pushing. You can create a YouTube channel, discuss about aviation. Many Nigerian youth both old and young wish to be in your position. While you wait for a job, you can start a vlog from your home. Stay strong and keep pushing

superamoled:


It's easier said than done.

To be a pilot in other countries, you'll need to have work permit / permanent residency or be a citizen of that country to be able to work and secondly, you will have to convert your pilot license to that of that country which also costs a lot of money that I currently don't have...

kazyhm:


Explorer tried this time but some information are not totally correct and the procedure are not as listed....yes you can fly without being a graduate

I instrument rating is not for novice it for pilot with ATPL.


Also it misleading to include geography as a needed subject..........as I have seen a boy hat applied for geography during jamb registration just because he wanted to go the flight school....

It engineering course one need...mechanical, Electrical et al

To get employment in Nigeria is hard as a pilot as airliners prefers whites

To get sponsorship by airlines is harder....but Bristow is doing great in that regard.

Explorers:


Be serious o, all the best.

superamoled:
Securing a pilot job in Nigeria is near impossible and I'm saying this as a commercial licensed pilot in Nigeria without a job even after obtaining my certificate of flight instructing and spending millions of Naira (sponsored) on building flight hours.

It feels like it was not worth pursuing and spending all that money on a dream that will be crushed by this country.

Anyone with a pilot job connections should please link me up. Willing to fly any type of plane (type rating required or not)

Biingoo:
35 aviation schools in Nigeria Op, where them dey I think you exaggerated a lot in that aspect. Nice thread

MansoryMX:



I am not mocking you bro. You and I know your chances of being a successful pilot and leaving the dream life is higher outside Nigeria. Anyway, I wish you goodluck.

Mhimi007:
Like you just have to keep your head straight,its not hard its just geo- mapping and physics that we are finding a little bit tricky let me not use the word difficult

ebohstepn:


Do de recruit surveyors? Does shipping companies recruit surveyors? Have been home for too long, really need a job

Faithful007:
Why not try the air force.

Psalmspsalms:

That's a nice one. Is there anyway you can be of assistance to a fresh engineering graduate in getting a job at your work place?

Explorers:


But same calculation courses.

I fear calculations o.. That's what discouraged me from flying and the cost.

ArticleBeast:
Pilot na pilot

Mhimi007:
I attend NCATZ and its hard as it is jare

Explorers:


That bros go don spend MONEY... Florida for that matter.

superamoled:


I've contacted the academy in the past and they told me they were not recruiting.

If you can link me up with the instructor in the academy that will be great. Learning from his experience on how he got hired there might give me better of chance of getting recruited too.

HITMEUP4ANYBIZ:
Any update ?

200k after studying for 4 years no plenty on a serious note except they’re given allowance and other entitlements

emmaodet:


Not different from what sailors earn and the courses are a bit cheaper than pilots.
I am a second officer and depending on company, certificate and experience you will get between 250k to 2.2m at my level sailing offshore or holding a north to south africa sailing ticket/license

Explorers:


According to the source, i think it includes those school offering aviation related courses and not direct flight training.

Nairalandmonika:

So if u have a degree in electrical engineering, it's that an advantage?
Do it help in anyway

2.2million if you are working with a multinational company with your DP, no indigenous company will pay a second officer even up to that amount...

Indigenous company pays second officer 500k on security boats and may go a bit higher if you are working on PSV or AHTS vessel with DP certificate

Biingoo:
I work in an AHTS with dp2. Second officers/ Dp officers earns 700k
