Okay, e try small. He should totally understand the entire concept of a Helicopter before allowing people fly in it though. It's not just about flying and landing.

There's enough static electricity created by a helicopter that if it is not properly handled, all the passengers can die when they jump off the craft.

Also, the tail rotor is of paramount importance and the material which both rotors are made of is quite important too.


I'm very happy about this anyway, because I've always said these things are easy to make.

The bobo try sha. But only donkeys will fly in that crap. Flying coffin.

LOL

FSU you here again? now we are on the same side on this one. Invite them willywilly and nwado

I am not on the side of anything with you. I am only having my pound of flesh on you people's rejection of my Igbo-made jeep and bus.

I see that photo for Punch paper, so make una no decieve yaself, that helicopter na only body when panel-beater take heavy iron make am.  Den don paint am yellow like Catapila, and like Catapila this them local helicopter nogo fly lai-lai so far engine no dey inside am at all, and the body heavy like Catapila.

Na the kind fake helicopter wey nogo fit fly at all you dey see so o, like as the type wey dem dey build for where dem dey make film, na him this man come go build for panel beater workshop, and den begin dey halla say he don build Space Shuttle.

Anyway, monkey no fine but him mama love am.

The flight of a helicopter is something that has to be studied properly before one can put a prototype out. Well, I wish him luck with his Hausa-made Helicopter.

who told you the production of the chopper is not to fight yarinya's and deal with infidels from the skies?

it probably is being constructed to fight the Jihad war from above

BB King, make you play ya guitar small for us o.

Anyway, as you don talk am say na Jihad helicopter we dey look so, wey e be say na Almighty Allah go use him power carry am fly, then true-true the thing nogo need any engine to fly for up and begin dey fire rocket and missile to finish all we Keferi people as we we go dey run gbudu-gbudu for ground like for where grasscutter see hunter for inside garri farm.

Talents like this need to be encouraged, those countries who have made it sponsored Research and Development either through the Military or University.

But watch no one will encourage this, our leaders are more interested in wearing flowing robes and eating already made money.

how much has he spent to build this?

Let government create a frame work and provide more funding for him to build a better prototype.

Let govenment made, all state to buy one each to spray their farms

do this for 10yrs consitently and you will be amazed

China in 70s were busy rebuild bicyle. see them today.

But alas, nothing will be done with this guy.

Nice development, keep it up dude and can our govt help him achieve his dream.

Please, you people should leave Government out of this. You mean there is no billionaire Nigerian Entrepreneur who can invest and develope this technology? Do you know how much one will make by a monopoly of sale and construction of helicopters in Nigeria? Even if it is to build 1 pilot, 1 passenger helicopters that can be used for flight training and in amusement parks. That's how we begin. Government has no business with this project YET.

You mean there is no billionaire Nigerian Entrepreneur who can invest and develope this technology?

YES.

because its more attractive to get 'oil block' and just sell of the profit. you dont do any work; easy money!

moreover, banks will not borrow anyone money to buy this guy helicopter.

Govt need to kick start the project, and gradually withdrawal.

Let Nigeria army, police, navy buys this 'copter' for training.

I have seen several stupid posts and this is contending for the ultimate prize.

If there is nobody that sees this project or profitable, why should the Government throw taxpayers money at it?

You want the army and Navy to start using this type of untested helicopters?

If there is no one in the private sector who views this as a viable project, then Government should not touch it because the private sector has been shown to be the smarter investor.

We are crying over Ajaokuta, Refineries, Universities, Nitel and NNPC, and privatizing them, somebody wants to add another money-hole to Government pockets.

If there is no one in the private sector who views this as a viable project, then Government should not touch it because the private sector has been shown to be the smarter investor.

now you got it all wrong

Many projects start as Government/Military project before private sector see the benefit and try using it.

This very internet started as US/Swiss govt/military project; now see what its today

Volkwagen started as govt project:

in 1933, Adolf Hitler met with Ferdinand Porsche to discuss Hitler's idea of a volkswagen. Hitler proposed a people's car that could carry 5 people, cruise up to 62mph, return 33mpg, and cost only 1000 Reich Marks

see what its today; the biggest car company in europe.

Space journey started as govt project, see now we have space tourism.

The amount of money, time needed is not what private sector looking for, till it becomes robust.

Thats why I answered you:

because its more attractive to get 'oil block' and just sell of the profit. you don't do any work; easy money!

Private sector wants quick money, right away. Govt is more long term benefit.

No businessman in the world will sponsor that project when there are air-crafts scattered all over the globe, reason being. He will not make any money re-inventing the wheel.  

But Government on the otherhand need to encourage that guy because for the mere fact that he has the technological know-how means it could encourage local manufacturing of aircraft or automobiles.

Do you see the disparity here, while the Businessman's priority is making profit that of Government is encouraging local manufacturing in other to create long term wealth and employ labour.

Government needs to take the lead in R& in Nigeria if we are to get anywhere.

There is no point calling people's opinion stupid when they have a valid point more than you.

Smart as he apparently is, this Kano guy has not invented anthing new. The Helicopter has been invented and patented long ago. He just cobbled metal parts together and simply motorised the scrap metal. Bingo!. Any smart  idiot can do that. At any rate, Dangote should sponsor him. They are both from Kano, afterall. No public (oil) money should be spent on that when millions of Nigerians are in dire need of food, shelter, education and medicare.

evergie:

LOL

FSU you here again? now we are on the same side on this one. Invite them willywilly and nwado

evergie/oganaya, why dey invite me?
Stay there dey look,
IBO don build 'IBO JEEP
Hausa/Fulani don build New version 'JIHAD Helicopter,
Now, na Yoruba and others turn, wetin bi una contribution to Nigeria advancement in technology?

Now that is what I deem intelligent. Imagine that. Instead of wasting his time beating up on other people he invested it in building a Helicopter. That is awesome. I wonder if the same opportunity is provided other kids, they will not do same or even better

He deserves applause

Ferdinand Porsche was already an established car designer before Hitler gave him Government contracts.

Here, you guys are asking our Government to invest taxpayer's money interest free and non-refundable into a trial and error experiment? Do you think if this man has reached the level of mass production and he approaches any bank which can clearly see that his helicopters are already being patronised nationwide, do you think they would refuse him?

I have my own projects I'm working on and I need about N90 million to complete it so I'm already pitching several communications companies including hiTV. But if Government should "encourage" this guy, then they must encourage me too.

Dream killers at work !!!.

Instead of the government and its pple (including NL members who are either envious or don't know where and when to give encouragement) give the guy all he needs to build his potential, you all here yapping as ever. Before you all log on and off on NL, a scholarship might have come his way to go study abroad.
You all continue sleeping, waking up without flossing and brushing go eat at bukas, drink beer, whin and yapping it off on NL while the govt rob you all blind!!!. Hot Airs!!!

Na so doctor Abalaka begin talk say e don cure AIDS, e don intent AIDS vaccine, make Government pump in cash. All these things are for the private sector if truly it is a viable project.

It's a pity that nothing can come out of this. You need to combine your technical knowledge with business. The poor genius is better off building something that people actually need in this country - not helicopters.

Impressive display of ingenuity and thinking.

We need to encourage more thinking like this and use it to develop ourselves.

Helicopters are needed. Especially for the police and for surveys and geographical information gathering. If the design can be standardized and is cheaply manufactured, it will be very useful.If the police in every state can get helicopters, it makes responding to crime emergencies much easier and faster.

The government already owns institutions such as the DICON - Defence Industries, if he is taken into that institution and allowed to make use of their manufacturing facilities and design/fabrication personnel, his ideas can be refined and tested, after which we can produce such for domestic security and surveillance uses.

On going thru dis thread I'd be lying if I do not say I am totally disgusted.

Has any of you actually seen this helicopter?
Has anyone seen it fly?
Did the chap open it up for you guys to have a look at the engine?
Do any of you know what the chap uses as a source of fuel?
Does anyone know if he has other projects he has built in the past?
Does anyone know about anything other than someone, a nigerian built a helicopter?

Most of you guys can't wait to bash this chap and his work. We are always quick to destroy our fellow citizens, I beleive if any of you were on a board to evaluate that guys work you guys will call him a fraud without even seeing the helicopter and destroy his reputation.
I feel notin but shame and disgust.

nmaster peice

He's not a fraud. He didn't hide the fact that he used the Internet to get information on how to build it.

Europe and the US all started the building of their super planes from scrap like this. It has taken them decades to produce the flying wonders that we see today.

If we were a serious nation, the government would be interested in ensuring we can at least produce a Nigerian made helicopter in 10yrs. But of course we just love to hop to Canada and buy Bombadier Jets. . .

James Watson was right.
