28 year old Nigerian lady qualifies as a commercial pilot

Celebrating young women like this gives me so much pleasure. 28 year old Beverly Onwukah from Abia State has just qualified as a commercial pilot. The focused, hardworking and tenacious young lady originally studied Economics at Imo State University but took the bold step to fulfill her dreams of being a pilot. She embarked on a pilot training course last year and graduated last Thursday from CDA Professional Pilot Training Academy in Daytona, Florida. Bows! Congrats to her!

Linda, there is no way she can fly passengers on a commercial plane now, she still has to build up her hours for a long period of time before she can so don't bamboozle us like we don't know how it works. My sister is 28 and also finished last year from flying school in the US. She flies a commercial plane but not alone. Not until she becomes a captain would she be left alone to do so.

She is gorgeous , that's all I have to say

Your sister needs to better educate you then. Even as a captain you cannot fly the plane alone. So building your hours doesn't stop you from flying a commercial passenger plane. There are two pilots in the cockpit. Both can fly at any point in time. But just like all professions there is someone who is accountable. So please congratulate her on her effort. If you like you can send your sisters profile to Linda and she will put it up.

Anon 9:00 am, she is 28yrs old. We grew up together in Owerri,not just that but in the same neighbourhood and were classmates.Beverly just has a strong face and it kinda makes her look older. She even looks older than her senior sis and bro. People shouldnt go about assuming and behaving like they know evrytin,cos u feel u can comment. Negative humans. If u have nothing good to say, move along. #NEXT

This lady has done so well for herself,let him that is without sin cast the first stone, it is not about the mistakes one made in the past but your ability to rise above them and straighten up. for those calling her names,ashawo and all....may people never have cause to rejoice with you too! if it is easy go and sell your body to become a pilot in the USA...yeye ppl!....Congratulations my own dear IMO STAR

Congrats but I don't get d whole paparazzi behind her being a Pilot.She ain't d 1st female pilot Nigeria will ever have.We have Captain Agbelusi,D Odushola sisters both Captains and many more still I don't think dey ever made dis much of noise.Linda dis no story. Congrats all d same but d whole attention and noise is uncalled for in d aviation sector we rather remain discrete and not loud.U will definitely get a job with Air peace since u r from Abia state, it's an Igbo airline for d igbos

Anonymous said...

Nothing special oo! To go to flying school ain't beans you must have money at least 12 million naira. Not everybody can achieve that! I want to be a pilot but no money! Linda celebrate women like you who started from scratch and struggled to the level you are not privileged kids whose parents can comfortably put them in flying schools. Unless she went via scholarship if not if you have your 12 million in 6months you are a pilot.

When I was a kid, there's a lady pilot from the then Imo state (the present day Imo and Abia). She was celebrated by their then governor, the great Samuel Mbakwe and she was all over the TV also in the former Cross River state.

Mucho mucho Congrats to this young lady !

What difference does it make? The other ladies didn't have people who cared enough to feature tgem on LindaIkeji. We should stop hatin and apprecate whenever someone accomplishes something good.
