The situation is Nigeria is not bleak,but I must say its great to have a forum like this where Nigerian Pilots Abroad can interact with Nigerian Pilots back home. I trained in the U.S as well, Oakland California to be precise and I met an African Pilot (not Nigerian)who was also a Cab driver.
Well there is hope for Nigerian avaition but it might not be as rosy as people might want you to believe.My two cents to you would be to come to Nigeria and see for yourself if there is an urgent demand for pilots right out of flight school.A type rating on the 737-200/300 series might make you irresistable to "bluebird" as Zazoo calls them.
Remember, a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
