After my basic education, I enlisted as a potential pilot and proceeded to The Nigerian Defense Academy in 1971-72. Thereafter, I attended the Airforce Flying School in Kaduna and in 9 months I was on my way to the United States for more training where I got my silver wings on the completion of the T-38 Supersonic Aircraft Pilot Training.

On return home, I was on active flying duty for 16 years during which I operated 10 different aircrafts which included the Russian MIGS 15 and 17, famous in the Korean wars of the early 50's with no less than 2000 hours and 10,000 landings in all. My last was Fokker-27[Maritime].

In trying to strike a balance between the cockpit and office work, my appointments during the entire 27 years [1970-1997] air force career included Operations Officer at various times for different aircrafts, Administrative Officer, Directing Staff at the Command and Staff College - acting as Air Faculty Chief Instructor for 6 months, Commander, Deputy Director of Operations at the Air force Headquarters and Finally retired in the rank Group Captain/Colonel equivalent as Deputy Director of Training at the Defense Headquarters in 1997.
During my golden 27 year career in the Nigerian Military, I drank of the Pierian Spring. I hold an MBA from the University of Benin, Benin City, Edo State and an M.Sc. Strategic Studies from the University of Ibadan, Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria; although. I am also a graduate of the National War College, Nigeria - 1995 Alumnus.

After retirement, I established a consultancy outfit with a view to plowing back a little of my aviation experiences. To my pleasant surprise, It turned out to become a multi-disciplinary consulting machine with 27 professionally powerful colleagues in 5 continents. In this connection, Omnipratika has put forward no less than 5 proposals and ideas canvassing the way forward for different global problems. From food to road traffic, oil and gas pipeline vandalization plus fuel tanker diversion to unauthorized destinations and aircraft hijacks. It is not unlikely that these earned my company many International awards - The International Gold Star for quality and Arch of Europe (platinum) and more.

I have also written/compiled 7 e-books. I bred fish and produce fingerlings (clarias). I am a networker, a forex trainer and a lover of nature.

It's a great pleasure for me to be here.
