Story!

The Amaewhule group is non existing.

Congratulations to Victor Oko-Jumbo, the new speaker of RSHA.

It takes a greater madness to calm Wike. We have waited for Fubara to match him with a greater weyrey.

Fubara should use both legal and illegal means to fight Wike.

Thanks to Agbado and his cohorts

They should go back to their country.

After all his mother, Eliza, and his cohorts did to us. They are not welcomed, let them go back to their country.

I was having discussions with my guys about how I did 150km/hr few days ago.

So, I decided to create this topic. Here are few speeds I have done some years back.

When you are driving a 'sound' vehicle and on a smooth expressway, the truth is, you won't even know when you are hitting hard on the accelerator especially if you are driving a heavy engine like V6 or a V8.

While I do not know the current condition of some of these roads, here are few I have done before:

1. Lokoja - Abuja - Kaduna: 160km/hr (Dis road sweet wella)

2. Kontangora (Niger) - Yauri/Jega (Kebbi): 160km/hr

3. Abuja - Keffi: 140km/hr

4. Port Harcourt - Ikot Abasi - Eket: 140km/hr

5. Benin - Ore: 145km/hr (I don't really like this road)

6. Abuja - Jos: 145km/hr

7. Enugu - Port Harcourt: 150km/hr (escaped from some bad boys. A story for another day)

Remember,

SPEED KILLS ‼️ DRIVE TO STAY ALIVE ‼️

Well maritime jobs is lucrative but not any more in Nigeria, except you are working in a multinational companies like Bourbon, Topaz, Thompe offshore etc (Some of these companies are no longer in Nigeria due to lot of factors)

UAE is not a hotspot for Nigerian seafarers now, because they are employing lot of Nigerians over there just like UK taking away our health workers in Nigeria, now every dream of a seafarer is to move to a better company with good salary, fair contract and benefits

In Nigeria, A captain in an indigenous maritime company earns about 1.5- 2 million (Which is very poor, ever since they brought local content law into the maritime sector, the blacks have been messing up the system)

A chief mate could earn like 800k-1.2 million and could go higher if he or she possesses DPVM licence

Normally this is what a crew onboard earns in a sane country and on offshore vessels like DSV or PSV

Captain - $8000 - $15000 per month
Chief Engineer- $7000 - $14000 per month
Chief Mate or chief officer - $6000 - $12000 per month
Second Engineer - $6000-$12000 per month
Second mate or second officer - $5000 -$10000 per month
Third engineer - $5000 -$10000 per month
ETO - $12000 - $18 per month

The ratings like the AB, Oiler & Cooks cook earn like $1500 - $2000 per month

This salary depends on the company, country and type of vessel

In Nigeria, I've seen where the chief engineer earns 3.5 million per month

It's surprising Nigerian Maritime workers earn this poor. How can a captain earn 1.5m to 2m per month? This is the salary my company pay graduate trainee engineers that just came out of training center. Na wa o.

But my guy that works in Bonny Transport, a subsidiary of NLNG, lives large. I think he earns well.

Also I never knew BOSUN is not a high level position.

Ask me Anything about Ships or how you can become a crew onboard, I will gladly answer your questions, Nairaland doesn't have a forum for ships, hence the car section might be a perfect fit

Note: I don't give jobs, but I can guide you on navigating through the maritime career path

I have been looking for an opportunity to give you an inner experience of how an offshore vessel looks like...

They are different types of vessels

1. Roro ship
2. Container ship
3. Bulk carrier
4. Crude carrier
5. Gas Ship (LNG)
6. Oil tankers

You can Google each of them to get an insight on what they do

I work onboard offshore vessels, that's why I'm gonna narrow my explanation on this type of vessels

We have vessels which provides vital services to offshore installations which include

1. AHTS - Anchor Handling and Towing vessel
2. ASD Tugs - Azimuth Stern Drive tugs
3. DSV - Diving support Vessel
4. PSV - Platform Supply Vessel
5. Seismic Vessels
6.Pipe Laying vessels

The above mentioned vessels are all available in Nigeria carrying out services for IOCs

Though I've only worked on AHTS, ASD Tugs even though other vessels are of the same configuration but they perform different tasks

The duty of AHTS and ASD tug is for static towing

Onboard a ship, we have ratings and officers and it has two departments

Deck & Engine

The Captain is the overall, that's why he's also called the master but the certification of the captain and Chief Engineer is the same

Officers
Captain
Chief Engineer
Chief Mate or chief officer
Second Engineer - This is my rank onboard
Second mate or second officer
Third engineer
ETO

Ratings (Depends on the type of vessel)
Bosun, also called QuarterMaster
AB
Oiler
Cook


Onboard the ship, my responsibilities are enormous, ranging from Main engine maintenance, generators, Steering gear systems, Air conditioning unit etc

I'm onboard, and the bandwidth is crazy to upload pictures, I may do that much later if the network is good

Bros, I do hydroblasting for vessels. Bring job come, abeg. You will get some percentage. (I tried uploading a short video of my job, but it's not uploading)


Is Platform Support Vessel the same thing as Offshore Support Vessel?

If the attached car is yours, abeg match am go Idah. You get this kind car and you dey fear to drive am?

See, the only place you will have issues of bad road (and maybe security) is Ajaokuta. But once you are done with it, you are free.

Allah ya kiyaye!

I thought Nyesom Wike said this road is completed? I was even planning to go for a ride on it soon.

Na wa o.

So what's the point of air travel if they'll have to put all passengers on a coaster bus?
E better say you enter night bus go Asaba 😂

How sure are you it's a coaster bus? What if it's the town service bus?

GAZZUZZ:
This is where it becomes Interesting .



Checking counter says no flights to Asaba

But flight will get to Anambra then airline will put passengers on a bus to Asaba

Like seriously?

This country sef.

Imagine how the entrance of a facility is looking so dirty

In Primary 3 I tried to bully a skinny classmate "Augustine" because I seemed taller and bigger than he was.

At lunch break, we were made to have a go at it once and for all.

Because my mama just buy me one boxer wey get like championship belt, I believe say I be boxing champion.

Before I set blow, I don see myself for ground with one part of my face staining the poor floor.

I cry reach house tell my mama say na 5 people gather me beat. 4 hold my hand the 5th one nack me for ground....


My mama tie wrapper say she go follow me go school go see people wey beat her pikin. Na so I begin beg my mama say make she no go oh...laslas she follow me go dem find out say na lie. I collect more beating for house for wasting their food at home and not able to utilize the food in a fight outside..


Community Primary School Rumueme...circa '85.

Even if I don't read any other experience, I am satisfied with this.

Tufiakwa!

A whole giant of Africa does not have ILS equipment in her largest airport, MMIA. And

And I'm sure the PAPI and runway lights are not also working.

I spit on this country.

Filled with Northerners. Nonsense

EFCC is currently the most useless organization in Nigeria.

Even the stvpid IGP is withdrawing his police details. Just tell those officers to bundle the idiôt back to Abuja asap.

thesicilian:
When I saw vehicle without driver as the headline I thought they were now using driverless cars in Anambra

Honestly o

Kai!

What are people turning marriage to? Marriage is meant to be enjoyable.

Is he a police man?

Yes o. Shurdi the whole country. They hike petrol, now electricity. How do they want the poor masses to survive?

However, I don't even trust Labour sef.

Nice one.

Kîll the motherfvckers.

So, this man with this mentality is the Minister of Power you guys have been hyping.

According to him, Nigerians should be punished with tariff hike for "wasting" electricity?

Dpharisee:
Building a railway hub at Abuja Airport is misplacement of priority by previous Govts, why not build it at Gwagwalada or Abaji, how many passengers will disembark from an international flight and wait one hour for a train to take them to city centre when he can pay N7000 to registered taxi operators or Uber.
Meanwhile thousands of workers, traders and students commute daily from Abaji and Gwagwalada to the city and there is no railway terminus for them, the airport railway shouldn't have come first before the masses.

Wike has done well for ensuring that its completed despite the above points

We no dey think for this country

oluztx:
They are serving yorruba food efo-riro and not one Igbo person has said anything. But just isiagwu attire, they won't allow us to rest. I want other Nigerians to know who is always looking for trouble between Igbo and Yorruba.

Thanks for this.

JChris01:
AirPeace doing great. in first class i will just order for ishi ewu and a chilled drink.

Ishi ewu with cold Heineken

We have our originality.

I would love to see roasted yam and palm oil (with onions and pepper) on the menu.

Biafrans always making Nigeria proud.

I need very mature advice here.

I'm a picky person when it comes to making relationship choices. For me the attractiion has to come from my end otherwise I'll find it difficult to accept the individual.


There's this guy, very mature and. I'm sure will be older than me or we'll be of same age I love watching his contents on Facebook and what attracted me to him was one of his sit down videos where he talked about premarital sex and the dangers of engaging in it as a Christian. I was wowed that a dark handsome man like him could speak against such practices and his audience that day were youth and teenagers.

I began to observe him and noticed he addresses the youth more and is always teaching them moral and academic lessons. I somehow felt connected to him and one day summoned the courage to ask him if he's married. He didn't reply.

I recently came across his video again and asked him for the last time on his comment section if he's married and I said this was the last time I was going to ask him this question. He now replied that he is not married.

I don't know, would it be wise if I take a shot at him or try being his friend. He's a Born again brother and my spec.

Please sincere advice.

He's my brother. I can connect him to you with a very small token. He's looking for a girl like you for marriage.

Fire on, my amiable governor. We, the lovers of good governance in Rivers State, are solidly behind you.


But, try and call the newly employed civil servants and UBE workers to resume. They have been waiting since last year.

Wike is an akpa amu and power drunk.

But time will tell.

This country sef.

All these adjustments on a mere 4000MW? So, people outside this "big boy" Band A will experience more darkness or what?

Wisdomkosi:

My own is Fubara should call the newly employed civil servants and UBE to resume. They have been waiting since last year.

Lol... Ma shock Una .. they had two times ministers for works road and transport from that same region covering Ekpoma...


Pocket infrastructure

Exactly! I was about saying this

Discos are as corrupt as NEPA.

If you have your way, bypass your meter. They can't reap where they didn't sow.

Sane country.

Because of ordinary Rolex watch. Tinubu has a yacht. His son flies presidential jets to watch football
