Where were u wen Nigeria LNG was recruiting cadets...I guess u were busy mustering 4 every drill. Why didn't you malinger...y complain or u no pass

i malingered pakardly! but there has not been any recruitment for scholarships for the past 3years(except IT)

the fees in Regional Maritime Uni. Ghana is so 3x wat members state pays and its per sem, bt their cert is d bomb. I.S.O certified nd u can also get a job wen through coz dy signed alot of MOU last month. The Philipines is also a beta alternative.

hmmm big lie.because I have a brother that finished there that same last year and he is now serving


make me believe you are a MAN CADET

Emexix:
am sorry to dispute your claims, for the fact you've been onboard for 36months does nor mean u are allowed to operate alot of equipments due to the believe of the master that you are not qualified to.
My captain told me openly that I can't be in the chart room, or know how to use the sextant, or have an idea of the Gmdss among others since I am yet to have oow..
The course is both practical and theoretical.
How will u defend a school as big am MAN that can't boast of first generation simulators?

Mind you, associate is also for both deck and engine, so do u also claim that engine components and parts should be drawn on the board since it's a pure theoretical course?

From your post earlier.. You mentioned "Associates in Nautical Science" so my defence was based on your post bro..

My captain told me openly that I can't be in the chart room, or know how to use the sextant, or have an idea of the Gmdss Well, I think you didn't have a good relationship with your captain, Because a captain is willing to teach his crew on how to plot a chat, operate deck machinery, and other gadgets at the bridge. You need to have a good interpersonal relationship with your superior and also you must be eagar to learn.

The ABs are allowed to operate almost all the equipment onboard, Even when I was working on an ASD Tug, The AB are responsible in manoeuvring the boat during their night duty alone without any supervision.

There's nothing practical in Associates in Nautical Science because you've seen all the equipment onboard and know how it works, Or do you call tieing of knots is practical? If yes, I'm sorry you don't have any business doing Associates in Nautical Science if you cannot tie all the necessary knots applicable onboard a ship

Moreover, I am not defending MAN, Oron because of its lack of infrastructure, I am only pointing out some stuffs to let the public know that the institution is not bad as painted by some of nairalanders here on this thread.

Last two years, MAN Oron has installed it's Simulators but I don't know why it has not been put to use yet though some ex-cadets were employed as lab technologist to kick start it's usage for GMDSS and other simulator oriented programmes

so do u also claim that engine components and parts should be drawn on the board since it's a pure theoretical course?

I want to ask you if CoC class is also a practical class? If you can answer this question correctly, then i'll definitely accept defeat

EgunMogaji:


I stand by what I wrote and Nigeria is a failed state with a collapsed education system.

If this is just a refresher course with no need for practical experience then why did OP lament about lack of technical hands-on instruction ?

I now understand why alleged university students of mechanical engineering department will be proud to call basically an absurd pile of crap and boastfully call it an automotive accomplishment. We see this time and time again on the front page.

why did OP lament about lack of technical hands-on instruction

The course is handled by experienced seafarers and seasoned lecturers, I am baffled that the OP lamented on this issue, 85% of Nigerians working onboard ships in our coastal water were trained at Maritime Academy of Nigeria, and the industry is faring very well

Emexix:
Protest can't be made since the school is heavily guarded by the Navy, it will only cause us more trouble.
The scripts where not misplaced since this have been the norm even with the session before us but they where lucky to have it released 2 weeks before our exams. And I doubt if it'd money they want.
The course is expensive to run, it's 180k for d official fee outside the running cost..

Exactly whats happening to us....
since 2012 October,they issued us IT letter till date no cert.

I tell you my brother

take a bus going to apapa wharf..make sure u tell the conductor to drop u at 'roundabout' bus stop after liverpool bus stop... Just look around and u will see Msc shipping tower. Orion marine office is just after it.
And make sure u board the apapa bound bus that goes thru mile2 and liverpool and NOT THE ONE THAT GOES THRU IKORODU EXPRESS. The latter takes u straight to wharf. Get there and tell security u wanna see the crew manager,mr mathew. Are u on deck or in engine room,or an officer?

dirtymoney:
That's the root of Nigeria's problems.

my dear, it doesn't matter were we are coming from, we exist as individual with peculiar identity, even within siblings born from same parents have different understanding towards one issue. so is the world as a whole. you c we are one yet we are different

I'm a deckhand sir!

please is it adviceable to join the Merchant Navy Maritime Academy Iperu, (MNMA), despite some rejections made by Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency, NIMASA, in the previous years saying it is based illegally. Though the school have now claims of being licensed with the ministry of education Ogun, The big question here is that after graduating am I going to be enrolled into the Navy Navy or not?

mickey45:

Maritime academy now has a v.c?

I tire o... hv been wondering too.

fashrola:


Well I'm not here to defend the Institution, but last time I checked the school has churned out thousands of big shots in oil & gas companies, maritime industry, competent captains and engineers, and has one of the highest number of students who has travelled far and wide... You really don't have to follow the multitude cos the oil and gas industry is lucrative, hence whilst Studying in MAN, Oron they loose their focus and purpose of their stay in the school.

Though recent years the school has depreciated from its standard due to poor funding and mismanagement of funds, but I can authoritatively tell you that I've benefitted so much from the school, the school has made me who I am today, I have hands on experience on different types of diesel engines, and ancillaries..

The school is not a nonsense school and has never been, it's a disciplined institution where you can make it life if only you have a purpose in life.

And please don't sound so pained like an ex cadet who was expelled for poor academic or behavioural reasons who finds any opportunity to blackmail the institution.

During ma time as a cadet, we had comfortable cabins, Great experienced seafarers as lecturers, I don't know for now because the school has undergone a lot of power tussle between the indigenes for the post of rector in the school, which has really slowed down the rate of development.

What we can do as Nigerians is to take up this issue to the federal ministry of transport and make them to see the institution as their core responsibility

sorry what year are you talking about.. cos m sure u must be a batch tey tey cadet to be talking like this....

holmez:

sir, you are not far from the truth. You are absolutely correct!.
BUT that was all in the past. The school has lost its past glory
things have changed bro. No doubt you were among the few that benefitted from the institution when it was at its prime. Its quite disheartening how bad things have become right now. I employ you to just visit there right now and you'll attest to my claims.
Apart from the stuffs i listed in my previous post, the fact that they don't even care about your MERIT(its ol bout how connected you are) makes the institution a shadow of it former self.
By the way sir, i wasn't expelled(lol). I graduated with distinctn successfully ol thanks to God. I must commend you for some of the good points you raised but i'm just piss'd at how bad things have become(and hence my harsh but true write-up).

Yes u r rite. If they cared about merit... I will be singing a different song

Chuck ask those your mates if they wrote the scholarship exam inside the school or outside... Besides why are you not among those 9?

Missfads:

Thats exactly what m driving at.
noone cares how gd yu are(academically) but how connected you are.
...but thts Nigeria for u.
when dd u pass out?

D exams was right inside d sch at d central refectory.... Interview was also conducted... ND as for me nt been among.. Its was for nautical cadets nd I am M.S..

holmez:
Nonsense school!
if i hadn't schooled in the school, i wouldn't have known how substandard the school is.
The Academy is just overrated.
lack of basic facilities and poor hostel conditions(jam packed cabins) coupled with substandard lecturers and lack of basic teaching aids and technology(no training vessel).
A maritime school where you are not even taught how to swim(except you register and pay for STCW courses).
You are subjected to harsh military training and left with little or no time for your books.
i wouldnt wish my enemy to study there. In conclusion, at OP, i don't think you made a mistake studying there, you were obviously just misinformed about the credibility of the institution

bro I need information abt MAN oron screening is it a written test or wat,cos I heard it does last for 1week ur reply is urgent bro,

chuckpeter001:
Oya no kip quiet na.. D cell/guard room is still empty, even lecturers do visit dere frequently. U did course of 10month u dey talk trash. Us wey do 2years course make go die b dat

Howfr tell more... School fee etc.

Update
I got a job that same year

dadoctore:
I feel ur pain n I understand exactly wat ure going tru. I personally had to do my research very well n save well too so as to at least study @ RMU Ghana whr ur certificates r ready on d 3rd day of d completion of each course...I wonder when we'll get tinz right in dis maritime sector in naija! Hmm, u gotta pray for divine intervention on d matter cos d stories av heard bout ppl being delayed by MAN Oron ehn!!! IN OTHER IMPORTANT NEWS...link a broda up wit a job nau,av got all my certs wit me.

Cos we got you covered

Please can someone suggest any affordable Egyptian Marine school I can do COC.
I have a B.Sc in course quite different from Nautical science but has been onboard tanker vessels as OS for 20months and counting.
More guidelines would also be appreciated.
Thanks!

Nigerian CoC is very much accepted and preferred by shipping companies in Nigeria, Those with foreign tickets  are probably people who were trained by Nlng from Maritime academy or indigenes of the oil rich Niger delta region (Just like the Nimasa scholarship where Nigerians where sent abroad to study)

If you are still working onboard till now and ur vessels do come to jetty to berth like the Onne port terminal, You'll definitely know NIMASA officials are doing their best to checkmate crew with foreign coc, and most of Nigerian with foreign cocs are fake like the Belize, Panama, Vanatau coc which Nimasa  doesn't recognise or endorse

Moreover, why some companies do not accept Nigerian cocs in some of their vessels might be the vessel is on bareboat charter, And this means the vessel will be flying a foreign flag, and If your country does not have an article agreement with the flag of the vessel, definitely you can't work onboard such ship and some Nigerians seafarers have NCV (Near coastal voyage) certificate which automatically disqualify them from working on a vessel in Nigeria flying a foreign flag except you have CoC unlimited which must be endorsed by the flag state before working... hence the need for employing expatriates.

And fortunately, the company I'm presently working  is a fully indigenous company and all the crew onboard are Nigerians with Nigerian coc from the Master to the Third Engineer..and our boat happens to be the best boat presently at Total for 6 years straight Zero downtime (What a feat!!!)

You might be asking which vessel? The name is MV Osayame and also the another best vessel in ExxonMobil Water is MV Osarague (Varada Queen) all Nigerian crew (No white man)

good info. Would like to communicate with you please share me your WhatsApp contact

Associates in Nautical Science is a refresher course for deck ratings and not where you are taught practically, because the class is filled with people with more than 4 years experience onboard a ship.

Even in UK, CoC refresher courses involves Thermodynamics, Fluid Mechanism, Electrotechnology... and core requirements for admission is your sea experience of 12-36 months (For engine Cadets), hence no practical is taught whilst in school because it's assumed you have the experience and knowledge while serving onboard, and this is practised anywhere in all maritime institutions in the world.

Except the OP is referring to Diploma in Nautical science, which I know that the school in recent years has really depreciated without a standard training vessel, Simulators and Comfortable accommodation for cadets, which I hope the present government will do something about it

Associates in Nautical Science is not a course that involves practicals as the OP claims, it's purely a theoretical and classroom course

Just like Certificate of Competency courses is for Masters, Chief Mate, OOW therefore Associates in nautical science is for deck ratings

nice update. Mind sharing your contact for more details and personal questions

If you have the money,find your way to ghana or to malmo,nigeria is so unreliable..this country need to disintigrate..

Well said. Mind sharing your contact. I need to talk to you please
