Some stories have to be written for readers and they have to be told to non readers. I am not a good story teller but I hope this is enough.

This is the story of the Azikel Aviation Training Program.

Nigerians Kariyai Daukoru Needs your help. Repost aggressively

In 2024, Dr. Eruani Azibapu, a billionaire businessman from Bayelsa State, announced an aviation scholarship programme for brilliant Bayelsa youths.

The programme promised that successful applicants would be sent to the United States for pilot and aircraft engineering training. According to Dr. Azibapu, over ₦300 million had been set aside to sponsor the two successful candidates, amounting to ₦150 million per beneficiary.

A total of 776 Bayelsa youths reportedly applied for the scholarship, with only two candidates emerging successful after the selection process.

One of the beneficiaries, Kariyai Daukoru, who was then a 400-level Petroleum Engineering student at Igbinedion University, has now come forward with disturbing allegations about what transpired after the announcement.

According to Kariyai, instead of being sent abroad as promised, he and the second beneficiary were deployed to Azikel Aviation, where they allegedly spent about 16 months carrying out duties far removed from the international aviation training they had anticipated. In a lengthy social media post, Kariyai alleged that they were instructed to report daily in pilot uniforms, creating the impression that they were undergoing elite aviation training. However, he claims that upon arriving at the hangar, they were made to change into singlets and assigned tasks such as washing aircraft, scrubbing hangar floors, cleaning toilets, and running errands. He further alleged that they carried luggage for Dr. Eruani, members of his family, former President Goodluck Jonathan, and other high-profile passengers using the private jet facilities.

Beyond the menial tasks, Kariyai claimed that he and his colleague were made to perform sensitive aviation duties despite lacking the required licences and certifications. According to him, he prepared official flight plans while his colleague allegedly participated in aircraft maintenance and helicopter operations without formal aviation engineering qualifications. Kariyai insists that he suspended his university education and personal business activities in order to fully commit to the programme, believing that the promised overseas training would eventually commence.

Kariyai also rejected claims allegedly made by Dr. Azibapu that they failed character assessments or were not recommended for training by their supervisors. To support his position, he released screenshots, voice notes, and other materials which he claims demonstrate that a foreign supervisor attached to the programme remained in contact with them, recommended alternative international scholarship opportunities, and continued to seek their technical assistance even after they left the hangar.

In February 2026, Kariyai filed a lawsuit against Dr. Eruani Azibapu at the Bayelsa State High Court. He also alleged that social media posts relating to the dispute led to his arrest and detention, and that fresh criminal proceedings have now been instituted against him at the Federal High Court in Abuja.

According to Kariyai, the prolonged legal battle has drained his family's finances, leaving them unable to adequately defend him in court.

As of the time of this report, Dr. Eruani Azibapu and the Azikel Group have denied wrongdoing and continue to challenge the allegations in court. The matter remains before the courts, where both parties are expected to present evidence in support of their respective claims.

HERE IS THE SUMMARY

In 2024, Kariyai Daukoru, then a 400-level Petroleum Engineering student at Igbinedion University and a father of three, applied for an aviation scholarship program announced by Bayelsa businessman Dr. Eruani Azibapu.

According to Kariyai, the program was advertised as an opportunity for the brightest Bayelsa youths to be trained in the United States as pilots and aircraft engineers. He claims participants were told that successful candidates would be flown to the US and that partnerships existed with organizations and institutions that would make the process seamless.

A total of 776 people reportedly applied for the program. After a screening exercise and examination involving 155 candidates, Kariyai says only two people met the required pass mark: himself and another candidate, Yebei Ebilate.

Following their success, Kariyai alleges that they were publicly presented as beneficiaries of the scholarship and that announcements were made suggesting they would travel to the United States within days.

However, he claims the promised trip never happened.

According to his account, they were later informed that they would first have to undergo a six-month probationary period working under the Azikel Group before being allowed to travel. Kariyai says he and the other candidate objected because they had applied for a scholarship program, not employment, but felt pressured to accept after allegedly being told that refusing would mean forfeiting the opportunity.

Kariyai claims he subsequently put his university education and personal business activities on hold in order to comply with the requirements of the program. He alleges that what was presented as a temporary probation period eventually stretched to approximately sixteen months.

During that time, he says they carried out various duties related to aviation operations, administration, and other assignments. He further alleges that they were repeatedly assured that arrangements for their overseas training were still being processed.

As months passed without any progress, Kariyai says he and his colleague began seeking answers from management. According to him, multiple letters requesting clarification were ignored, while officials allegedly distanced themselves from responsibility for the program.

He further claims that investigations carried out by himself revealed that some of the international partnerships and arrangements that had allegedly been referenced during the promotion of the scholarship could not be verified. He states that inquiries he made to foreign organizations produced responses that contradicted what participants had been led to believe.

According to Kariyai, these developments convinced him that the scholarship program was never intended to achieve the objectives that had been publicly advertised.

Believing he had been misled, he filed a lawsuit against Dr. Eruani Azibapu at the Bayelsa State High Court in February 2026.

Kariyai alleges that after filing the suit, he became the target of a campaign aimed at discrediting him. He claims statements were circulated portraying him as dishonest and attempting to undermine his credibility.

He also alleges that criminal complaints were later filed against him over social media posts connected to the dispute. According to his account, he was arrested, detained, and spent several months in custody while the legal battle continued.

Kariyai further claims that pressure was placed on him to withdraw his lawsuit and abandon his claims against Dr. Eruani. Despite this, he says he chose to continue pursuing the matter through the courts.

Throughout his statement, Kariyai maintains that he is not seeking sympathy but accountability. He argues that the case goes beyond his personal experience and raises broader questions about how scholarship programs are administered and whether young people can rely on public promises made by influential individual

[Kariyai @DaukoruKay]

I promised you,Dad
Not to do the things you've done
I walk away from trouble when I can
Now please don't think I'm weak
I didn't turn the other cheek
And,Papa,I sure hope you understand:
Sometimes you gotta fight when you're a man.
Everyone considered him
The coward of the county

Let me tell you why Obi Cubana, Cubana Chief Priest, Zenco and others are in alliance with this CITYBOY madness...

The EFCC is sitting on a killswitch for every luxury estate they own in this country and if they can't prove where their first million came from, they're automatically homeless.

Imagine waking up to find chains on your gate. No warning and no trial.

Under SECTION 26, they attack your life first, then ask questions later. It is called an INTERIM FORFEITURE.

In this case, the court hears the government's side in your absence. You're guilty until you can prove with reciepts, that you're a saint.

The question is this... "WHO HAS RECIEPTS ON A LIFE BUILT ON FAVOURS, ILLEGALITIES AND FRAUD?.

The court is a weapon and you have exactly 180 days. If you can't satisfy a federal judge, then the gavel drops! Final Forfeiture.

The ownership of those properties doesn't just shift, it evaporates. Their mansions, their G-wagons to their hidden offshore accounts, all become properties of the federation.

The secretary of the commission becomes the ultimate ghostwriter of their downfall, auctioning their "sweat" and pride to the highest bidder to fund the national budget.

EVERY WEALTHY MAN WITH A SKELETON IN HIS CLOSET IS A PAWN FOR THIS ADMINISTRATION.

[Kariyai @DaukoruKay]

Wait
Me and this Olodo come from thesame country?
Wow!
Just Wow!

I've sued.

@DONUKOGBARA Senator, is the majority having its way while the minority just has its say a deliberate setup? Are you simply offering good views for appearance’s sake while the majority always prevails?

[Kariyai @DaukoruKay]

@DONUKOGBARA I agree with you Senator.
Even though the conversation is not about that.
It is very necessary.

[Adaora Favour Nwankwo @adaora_crypto]

I remember in 2017 when I was still
In the bank .

One day I was feeling so frustrated because of the work pressure and I was pregnant at the time(pregnancy I later lost due to stress).

This young man full of life and zeal walked up to me when I was stepping out for lunch,he handed me a piece of paper and told me “neo life” was recruiting.

“We need people like you” he muttered.

I didn’t know what “neo life” was but the content of the paper sounded like mehn!! Ada You have found the missing puzzle, go for it.

That’s how I went to the location the next day.

Told my Team lead , I needed to see some clients.

Got to this warehouse filled with human beings and I didn’t understand what was happening.

After a while, This advanced man signaled everyone to come together and he started preaching about financial freedom.

When they were done, I sighed heavily and without saying a word to anyone, i simply went back to the office.

I couldn’t find words to describe the scene or how desperation made me believe that any serious company would even seek to employ people by merely sharing pieces of paper on the street.

If anyone walked into my office and asked “Ada are you ok”?
I would nod my head and not say a word.

Do you have any experience with this beautiful souls? Share with me.

Ije uwa.

She understood timing. She just couldn't bear to see him successful.

[Slim @onu_slim]

This year I witnessed something that has refused to leave my mind.

A man I know in Abuja, had the biggest opportunity of his career. A real, life changing deal. The kind that can move you and your family into a new chapter forever. He prepared for weeks. Studied every detail my team and I even assisted him to put some structures in place. He rehearsed every answer. He was ready.

Then the morning of the meeting…..everything fell apart.

His fiancée started a fight.
Something small. Something that could have waited.
But it did not.

Texts. Long calls. Voice notes. Accusations. Tears.
Threats to leave. Demands for attention.
Emotional warfare on the one morning he desperately needed peace.

He kept saying, “Please. I have a very important meeting. Let me handle this when I get back”.

It did not stop.

By the time he walked into the boardroom, he was already finished.

He was late, his eyes were tired, mind scattered and a heavy heart.
He called me, I was like “guy how far, goodnews?”

He said “Slim I need your help, I am in trouble”
My man couldn’t even put himself together….. lover boy.

He tried to speak but the confidence was gone.
He forgot things he knew by heart.
He was not the man they believed in.
He was simply a man trying to hold himself together.

And right there…. the deal slipped away.

Afterwards he called. I went to the venue. He sat in silence afterwards. Phone still buzzing. But he just stared at it. No anger. No reaction. Just that empty look people get when they finally realize how expensive emotional chaos can be.

Not expensive in money.
Expensive in destiny.

Sometimes the biggest threat to your future is not the competition.
It is the constant storm in your personal life.

Peace is not luxury.
Peace is focus.
Peace is clarity.
Peace is survival.

He is going into 2026 starting from zero again. Not because he was lazy. Not because he was unprepared.

But because the one person who should have protected his focus….. became the reason he lost it.

Love should steady you.
Not drain you.
Not shake your mind before the moment that matters most.

Choose partners who understand timing.
Choose partners who respect your work.
Choose partners who do not pick the worst possible moment to pull you into emotional chaos.

Because sometimes…. one argument at the wrong time
Can cost you the opportunity you waited your whole life to meet.
