Pentro Drilling
 
I received the email from Dr.Abu Ahmed today.

They want me to send my passport, passport of wife and that of any "kid" that will be traveling to Nigeria.

I didn't know I could bring some goats along with me!
Oh yes- they want me to send $350.00 USD via Western Union.

I'll get right on that, NOT!!!!!!

Don't send them anything and move their email to the trash.

Pilot Positive 25th Apr 2010 19:28

constructorul, stay well clear and DO NOT send them any money.

You could, however, if you were feeling particularly nasty :}, take the p!ss out of them by playing their game (without paying anything) and see how far you could take it by putting them to as much inconvenience as possible. :E

Personally, I get them to call me back. Cost them as much money as I can possibly cost them with phone bills before they realise I'm messing them about.

Was this through Pentro-Drilling or another, possible Nigerian, outfit?

Nigerian Space Program?
 

Metro man 5th May 2010 05:54

I'm charging a US$200 registration fee for those interested in my job offer. Payment via Western Union or Moneygram.;):E

Absolutely brilliant Rottenray! :D Never laughed so much.... :ok:

The fact they attempted to lauch the rocket in an enclosed area AND next to a window was funny enough...but when it went through the window and set fire to the room, well, that was the peach.

Not sure the Nigerian Space Program is as pioneering as those guys though... :hmm:

Pilot Positive,

Thanks. Actually, I found that vid on another PPRunE forum, and thought it would feel good here, too.

As far as a Nigerian space program, well, after reading a few threads in this forum, I certainly hope they get aviation right first.

There seem to be a "few loose ends and minor details" which need attending to!

However, I must say this: If I were a pilot and 25 to 30 years old, I think I'd enjoy working in country for a couple of years as a skill-builder.

I believe I'd learn A) what an aircraft is really capable of in the very worst situations/condition, B) things one must never do when flying, and C) a lot of patience.

Gotta be fun!

Quite possibly all one thing in Nigeria: You'll be finding out the things you should never do whilst flying in the very worst situation after which time you would have learnt endless amounts of patience...

Never flown in central Africa myself but some of my colleagues describe it as a mix of foreboding and shear terror. Not sure fun could be that much fun. :}

Nigerian space program gone wrong...
 
BBC News - Nigerian President Yar'Adua is dead, says an aide

Not sure whether to believe it or dismiss it as a hoax story...having said that I dont see any solicitation for money so it could be true?

Pentro Drilling/Subsea may have another scam website:
