Massa, leave Quainoo out of this. He flies A380, the biggest commercial airline, bigger than 747. This kid is just getting his feet wet.

As for you these things dierr, I don't know which curse was cast upon you, such that, you jubilate at the most mediocre achievements. Yes, the young man has done well, but what is 'Ashanti' about this? Oh no.

This is NOTHING. This is commercial LIGHT aircraft. In PNG it is not unusual to see hardly educated 17 year olds with this qualification. This is a very bush boy.

I feel your pain... Our selfish, corrupt, visionless leaders are good at only one thing: squandering the dreams of our people.

You are a lair. You cannot ride an okada but cannot use it for commercial business. It makes sense because you just got your license to ride a motor and cannot be waving through traffic with adults and minors as passengers. Plus, don't forget road traffic accidents are more than air traffic accidents.

That's a Cessna small propeller plane. Nothing commercial about it. True Boeing commercial passenger pilots requires years of training after college degree. A lot of true commercial pilots are former military aviators from the Navy and Airforce with years of training and experience in aviation systems. Cessna operator license pilot only takes a few weeks to months and lots of young people have them.

Boss, those ex navy and airforce aviators also started with the Cessna, I beg. He's only 20 and just getting started. Perhaps he's not even aware his story is on ghanaweb. I don't think he is blowing his horn. Some bloggers probably went to his social media page and culled a story out of his contents. Allow the youngster to grow.

This is not a national-newsworthy achievement. And he’s not the first Ghanaian to do so . This is paid advertisement I suspect
