[b]"The Deputy Field Officer Commanding Eastern Naval Command, Navy Cdr Muazu Salami, has urged Nigerians to unite for peace and progress in the country.
Salami, who made the call on Friday in Calabar, during the Special Jummat Service to mark the Navy Week, 2012.
He said Nigerians should be their brother’s keeper, irrespective of their religious differences.
“Nigerians should learn to be their brother’s keeper and live in unity in order to achieve peace and progress in the county,” he said.
Salami said that the Nigerian Navy was proud of its achievements since its inception, hence the celebration of Navy Week.
“We are proud of our achievement since inception on June 1, 1956, and that is why we map out one week every year to celebrate our achievements,” he said.
Salami said the Nigerian Navy was making efforts to acquire modern equipment in order to cope with modern technological challenges.
“The Navy is also improving on the retraining of the force in order to meet the challenges of the future,” he said.
Salami said that the Eastern Naval Command had been successful in keeping the maritime under its operational environment safe for business operations, adding that this was the navy's primary responsibility.

How does boko feel about the strong culture with his bombings?[/quote]Boko Haram is a psycho group, just like 9/11 maniacs, the nuttcase Unabomber of Oklahoma, the crazy dude who killed people randomly in Colorado for the Dark Knight rising premiere. Those people have nothing to do with culture, they are just plain mental
When I went to Nigeria I never saw people referring to themselves with the N word, I am sorry but I have heard it once in a while with nigerians in America trying to act black american or Nigerian hip hop singers(not all of them). Lastly if a few in Nigeria are doing that they must be doing it for fashion due to the hip hop music they listen to, the same way it is listened to in Asia and etc, but I never heard a Nigerian in Nigeria call themselves Nigga. Thank God
why are you guys fighting over a word that is used for bad in America, I don't care how you say it the word Nigga or Nigger is bad, and is used any how by black americans, why are you guys fighting over that word, it shouldn't be Nigeria's problem.
I think both of them are both beautiful but I have to give it to Omotola because she still has that beauty after four kids and she is older then Nadia and still is rocking her beauty.
oladee9: The award winning film ‘Tango with Me’ starring Genevieve Nnaji and Joseph Benjamin has been re-edited and a new trailer produced ahead of its 24th August, 2012 release across UK cinemas.
timmy1999: @dakweenoo7 Now I know u r a nut case...what did they call it yoruba films ..not english..weda they can speak english or not..doesn't matter as long as it is yoruba language..the arab movies dat won oscars award are not acted in english but in arab language..so ur point is useless and senseless. Dats why we black will never be on top cos we don't appreciate our dialect, our own...is english your mother tongue..our language is dieing and yoruba film is helping in this area..go to uk,usa..many nigeria kids there .use it to learn our cuture and language..cos they speak our language which the english film can't do.
2buff:This guy dey talk too much. I go chop the thing anyhow I wan chop am.
Since when did there start being "rules" attached to knacking pounded yam/amala/etc? The very fact the whole thing goes down with your bare claws/mits/hands instead of with spoon/fork is a sure sign say to chop am na "no holds barred".
ronkebp: For me, 1. Nigerian 2. Nigerian 3. Nigerian 4. Nigerian 5. Nigerian meals all the way....i have tried food from every culture i have been exposed too and i won't lie, it just did not go down well and maybe because i am a very picky eater, though i love Ghanian's dunkunu and fish, that is just the only meal i enjoy. Liberia's cassava leaf soup, is not bad too, but when you eat it from different people, it has different taste, so will stick with Naija meal any day.
LOL, well people can call it biased or whatever but Nigerian food/cuisne will always be number one for me, So I understand where you are coming from and agree. 90% of the food I eat is Nigerian however I have tried cuines from other cultures that are delicious to.
kengis: Generally speaking I love west african food Nigerian Ivorian Senegalese Togo/ghana sierra leone/guinea But I like jamaican beef or chicken patties they have ths sandwich called "roti" too ,it tastes so good
I never tried food from Togo, guinea and Senegal, so it will be interesting to try; I have heard good reviews about Senegalese food so who know after trying it it may bump up to top 5.
coolzeal: Nigeria Caribbean South Africa or Mozambique, well Nandos the rest are nothing to write home about..
Interesting, first list talking about southern African food.
[quote author=Rick31.]The capeverdean food is same as portuguese food...the only food that is not portuguese is cachupa because is only 1"Traditional" capeverdean food but portuguese make it too! 90% things portuguese do capeverdeans does too, don't forget capeverdean was ex portuguese colony..., portuguese own the island before independence so the food, language...they did before still there except the slave thing LOL Portuguese language still n 1 offical and still mandatory to speak in Cape Verde! capeverdeans don't speak criole at school... [/quote]It is true cape Verde was a Portuguese colony, so the foods of both cultures will be intertwined, thanks for the info
Accra and Lagos are both beautiful cities, but Lagos is a little bit ahead, at the same time in Ghana they have steady electricity compared to just some parts of Lagos so they could equal depending on how you look at it. I am glad though the Op wasn't biased with the pictures and showed the beauty of both cities.
