Kano man,

Meet the 23-year-old Nigerian Flight Instructor based in USA
Mubarak Bashir is a 23-year- old Kano indigene based in the US,  was recently retained by the Aerosim Flight Academy USA as the first African /Nigerian flight instructor. Mubarak Bashir Abdullahi, a  native of Sitti in Sumaila local government area of Kano state, speaks on his career so far, among other issues.

Tell us a little about your humble self?

My name is Mubarak Bashir, born in 1992 and that makes me 23 years old now. I am from Sitti in Sumaila Local government of Kano state.  I did my primary school at Sea Gate College in Lagos and also went to Zaria Academy for my secondary school. I later left Nigeria for Malaysia where I did my first degree on software at Luton East London University and later to AEROSIM FLIGHT ACADEMY of USA and retained on graduation and currently working with Aerosim Flight Academy as a Flight instructor in Florida, United States of America.

"he smiles"
Lovely isn't it?

How did you get into the aviation school and under whose sponsorship?

After completing my B.Sc, I decided to pursue a career in aviation. All these things wouldn’t have been possible without my humble father’s commitment to our education as his children.

When I told him about my intention, he told me that it will be done. I applied and got admitted; I started my training at the Aerosim Flight Academy under the sponsorship of my father. My father always wanted the best for us and he stops at nothing to see that we got the best. He has been very supportive and I owed my success to him.

How would you describe studies in the US and that of Nigeria?
Actually, these are two different issues and I believe each has its own disadvantages and advantages, depending on the personality involved. When talking about two different countries with distinctive differences in economic and social standard, definitely studies in such countries will not be the same. However, in flight training, I think the weather in Florida is more favourable for training and also they have advanced flight training devices and better aircrafts compared to Nigeria.


What do you think usually makes people to prefer studying abroad than in Nigeria?
Actually, people travelled to a lot of places to seek for knowledge and usually their main reasons differ. But one   thing remains unchanged and that is people always want to get quality education.
What are the challenges you faced?
I guess the biggest challenge I faced is my age, as a young man far away from home; I have to be extra careful in the ways I conducted myself. I have to be pushing myself to the desired stable. However, in my chosen carrier it is not easy, for a man of my age to become a professional pilot. It takes lot of hard work, dedication and also lots of sacrifice which I am willing to do.

Did you face any discrimination being an a Nigerian or African?
None that I can remember, as a Nigerian and the only African, I get equal and fair treatment from my colleagues and the instructors.

What are your motivations?
First of all I have always been passionate about flying. What motivates me is flying to different places around the world and meeting people from different background and above all my father’s commitment to my success.

You were recently retained as a Flight Instructor and the first African/Nigerian to achieve that. What is the secret?

Most people only get their commercial pilot license and head back home to work in the airline agencies in their countries. I decided to stay back after getting my commercial pilot license to obtain my flight instructor license. So I guess the secret is my determination to stay behind; and getting the flight instructor license. You also need to be on the F1 Visa which allows you to work.
Do you intend to come back to Nigeria and live?

Nigeria is my mother land and will continue to be, I will absolutely come back to Nigeria because I have no better place than Nigeria.

What are your future plans?
Now that I have been retained in the academy, I will concentrate in justifying what I was retained to do and after that I may consider working for the airline or flying corporate.
Thanks you.



On his father's worlds of thanks,

Abdullahi Bashir

BEST STORY FOR THE DAY

One young man went to apply for a managerial position in a big company.

He passed the initial interview, and now would meet the director for the final interview.

The director discovered from his CV that the youth's academic achievements were excellent.

He asked, "Did you obtain any scholarships in school?" the youth answered "no".

" Was it your father who paid for your school fees?"

"My father passed away when I was one year old, it was my mother who paid for my school fees.” he replied.

" Where did your mother work?"

"My mother worked as clothes cleaner.”

The director requested the youth to show his hands. The youth showed a pair of hands that were smooth and perfect.

" Have you ever helped your mother wash the clothes before?"

"Never, my mother always wanted me to study and read more books. Besides, my mother can wash clothes faster than me.

The director said, "I have a request. When you go home today, go and clean your mother's hands, and then see me tomorrow morning.

The youth felt that his chance of landing the job was high. When he went back home, he asked his mother to let him clean her hands. His mother felt strange, happy but with mixed feelings, she showed her hands to her son.

The youth cleaned his mother's hands slowly. His tear fell as he did that.

It was the first time he noticed that his mother's hands were so wrinkled, and there were so many bruises in her hands.

Some bruises were so painful that his mother winced when he touched it.

This was the first time the youth realized that it was this pair of hands that washed the clothes everyday to enable him to pay the school fees.

The bruises in the mother's hands were the price that the mother had to pay for his education, his school activities and his future.

After cleaning his mother hands, the youth quietly washed all the remaining clothes for his mother.

That night, mother and son talked for a very long time.

Next morning, the youth went to the director's office.

The Director noticed the tears in the youth's eyes, when he asked:

"Can you tell me what have you done and learned yesterday in your house?"

The youth answered," I cleaned my mother's hand, and also finished cleaning all the remaining clothes'

“I know now what appreciation is. Without my mother, I would not be who I am today.

By helping my mother, only now do I realize how difficult and tough it is to get something done on your own.

And I have come to appreciate the importance and value of helping one’s family.

The director said, "This is what I am looking for in a manager.

I want to recruit a person who can appreciate the help of others, a person who knows the sufferings of others to get things done,

And a person who would not put money as his only goal in life.”

“You are hired.”

This young person worked very hard, and received the respect of his subordinates.

Every employee worked diligently and worked as a team.

The company's performance improved tremendously.

A child, who has been protected and habitually given whatever he wanted,

Would develop an "entitlement mentality" and would always put himself first.

He would be ignorant of his parent's efforts.

When he starts work, he assumes that every person must listen to him,

And when he becomes a manager, he would never know the sufferings of his employees and would always blame others.

For this kind of people, who may be good academically, they may be successful for a while, but eventually they would not feel a sense of achievement.

They will grumble and be full of hatred and fight for more.

PLEASE

If YOU are this kind of protective parents, are we really showing love or are we destroying our children instead?

You can let your child live in a big house, eat a good meal, learn piano, watch on a big screen TV.

But when you are cutting grass,

Please let them experience it.

After a meal, let them wash their plates and bowls together with their brothers and sisters.

It is not because you do not have money to hire a maid,

But it is because you want to love.
