Meet Nigeria And West Africa’s First Female Military Pilot

She was commissioned as a Combat Flying Officer
alongside 126 others who finished the Direct Short
Service Course 2010/2011 Cadets of the 325
Ground Training Group at the Nigerian Air Force
Base, Kaduna.
Present at the winging ceremony (badge
decoration) was the then Chief of Air Staff, Air
Vice Marshal Mohammad Dikko Umar who
described her training as a ‘very laudable
achievement‘.
She was quite excited and proud to have made
history and said: “It is very uplifting and I feel very
proud of myself though it has been very
challenging. Coming from the civil war and the
civil mentality, the Air Force has done a great job
because it has changed our orientation. I believe
that all females have equal opportunity to dignify
their rights in whatever adventure they choose they
can do.”
‘As a first female pilot I would want to make a
mark that would encourage other females to join
the military because I believe that all females have
equal opportunity to exercise their rights in
whatever they choose to do, I believe that all female
Nigerians who choose to become pilots can do it
since I have done it.
This is a remarkable achievement, one that should
drive our ladies to know and see themselves as
been able to achieve the impossible and break the
so called glass ceiling in any sphere you find
yourself

But one restaurant in London is selling breast milk ice cream which is being served to customers in a cocktail glass. Icecreamists, based in Covent Garden, have named the £14 dish Baby Gaga. Victoria Hiley, 35, from Leeds provided the first 30 fluid ounces of milk which was enough to make the first 50 servings. But the company are looking for more women to provide breast milk - and are providing £15 for every ten ounces extracted using breast pumps.
