RIP to the dead.
Car drivers please learn to use your hand break alongside failed break and focus on your steering. Haba break fail no mean say steering fail too na that you cannot control the car heading.
There is even a pole in front the driver should have head-on to the pole instead of taking a life.

TravelRe: 5 Mistakes First-time Travelers Make by captain247: 4:06pm On Oct 13, 2017
Haaahaaa.. this reminds me of my first long flight I never knew I wouldn't see my luggage till I arrive my destination so I didn't prepare my hand luggage to contain toothpaste and brush with little hand cream. Even soap and I will arrive on the third day in the evening hours. I didn't even look at the arrival date I was just excited.
There is always a first time experience in everything and its always fun to remember.

Kia babe u over try to stay beyond a quarter let alone three years hmmm. What kind of luv is he preaching to you in the name of marriage, that is the tactics guys of this generation use in deceiving girls.
The more you keep him, the less chances of meeting better suitors .

I wonder how you will answer the question the day your father will ask you ARE YOU SURE HE CAN TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOU? When you bring him for introduction knowing fully well he will not do that not that he is not capable.

A stingy guy is a stingy guy he doesn't need to have job even before you will know that. Some people believe their wealth is what attracts women to them but I tell you comedians said broke guys are better cos they can still offer you their heart .

Christianity EtcRe: Your Dreams Explained by captain247: 6:12pm On Sep 30, 2017
TayeJiboluwa:
The dream means God has given him a wife but whether it is you or not depends on what he is capable of. That God showed you someone is your wife or husband is not enough, you still have to settle compatibility and other things. You can go into relationship since God has showed you to him in the dream and you're not a spirit wife, but work on the compatibility and any other thing. Even if God showed you that someone will be your wife or husband, it doesn't mean the person is perfect or the person will be just right for you, you'd still have to settle many things. I have a feeling the guy will take care of you, but you should know what you're getting into before you say I do. Ask God to show you CLEARLY if he is His will.
Thank you very much for your utmost advice. I really appreciate and will look into the compatibility aspect very well amongst other things too.

What a wonderful story that made me glued my eyes to my phone just as Mary and Samuel does to their TV till past 1am.
Most females cannot tell what love is from sex and affection that was what Mary lacks. She doesn't know what she wants but couldn't confide in her mother who could have helped her out with good advice.
Most of the time our parents are also our friends, they play both roles in our lives but many are afraid to discuss relationship issues with their family.
Being secretive to your partner is very wrong and not safe at all. It makes you to start telling lies upon lies.
What if her first love happens to be a chronic Armed rubber would she have continued with him all in the name of first love?
Ladies first love doesn't mean best lover or best man on earth.
Op you're a very good writer. Thanks

The ship owner and owner of the product the ship is carrying are walking freely while the seafarers suffers. Now everyone calling the crew oil thieves as if they are the once that stole the product from where it was stored or they even have idea the transaction between the seller and the buyer. They are mariners employed to run the ship not owners which are politicians. EFCC should go after the owners of the product and the vessel owner.

what if the Church law goes against God's divine nature?
The fact that church wedding is not mentioned in the bible doesn't mean it's against God's principles and it's for the betterment of its people.
Christianity EtcRe: It Is Unchristian To Deprive A Couple Marriage On Account Of Pregnancy by captain247: 4:14pm On Jul 30, 2017
Is church wedding biblical?
When Jesus turn water into wine in that wedding in the Bible was it in synagogue or at the parents of the brides place?
In as much the church doesn't criticize you if you do only traditional marriage why criticizing the church for their stand against pregnancy before church wedding.
The church must not go bend in their laws just to please you. Every institution or organization has their rules and regulations to adhere to likely the church is no exception.
If you're pregnant knowing the church position why not opt for the easy way instead of making yourself to be condemned or ridicule by the church. Go for a traditional and full court wedding there after reception and even the church members will still attend.
RomanceRe: What Is The Ideal Age Gap If Age Really Matter In Relationships? by captain247: 11:14am On Jul 27, 2017
Age matters alot. In a relationship that the man will be doing like a demmy god only for me because he is far older than me. No way, I will never support any relationship that the man is far older than the woman. She will be treated like a slave. Many are just saying age is just a number because they haven't been in such relationship.

I targeted the rain as soon it subsided a little I stepped out to church cause I didn't attend midweek service so I must not miss Sunday service.

But in situations where you're unable to attend church service either due to rainfall or you're offshore or whatever that will take u away from service just remember to Keep the Sabbath day Holy. You can worship God from anywhere so long that day is kept holy as instructed.

Read Isaiah 45:7
Why interpreting the Bible wrongly. Read below and stop making jest of God if you're not a believer.

Isaiah 45:5 I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:

45:6 That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the LORD, and there is none else.

45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.

45:8 Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together; I the LORD have created it.

45:9 Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands?

45:10 Woe unto him that saith unto his father, What begettest thou? or to the woman, What hast thou brought forth?

45:11 Thus saith the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me.

45:12 I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded.

45:13 I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let go my captives, not for price nor reward, saith the LORD of hosts. Isa
Christianity EtcRe: Should We Be Praying For Our Enemies To Die In Church? by captain247: 12:42pm On Jul 23, 2017
It is not only the prayer you pray to make your enemies to die that actually caused their death it is the fulfilment of God's word for the wicked.
For whatever God says must never return void.
Romans 6:23 says, For the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Therefore our enemy sows death for themselves with their evil ways even as you wish them also.

EducationOkerenkoko University: NIMASA Begins Work For Full Resumption by captain247(op): 9:52am On Jul 04, 2017
•As Nigeria, Ethiopia rekindle bilateral ties

In spite of earlier alleged stiff opposition from the Minister of Transport, the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) at the weekend declared, it is now working closely with other Government Agencies, to ensure the commencement of full academic activities, at the Nigerian Maritime University (NMU) come next session.

The NIMASA Director General, Dr. Dakuku Peterside who confirmed this during this year’s Day of the Seafarers celebration; also stated that the mandate of the University include bridging the gap in human capacity in the maritime sector, with special emphasis on seafarers, which is now perceived to be in high demand, nationally and globally.

“Learning is a continuous process, when we stop learning the sector cannot grow, and by extension the entire country. More so, the country is diversifying its resources and we need trained and competent personnel to man the different sectors of the economy. In this regard, in NIMASA there is a rebirth of focusing on our core mandate of which capacity development is topmost in order to realize a virile maritime sector. We therefore remain committed to the ideals of the President Muhammadu Buhari’s Federal Government of making Nigeria a pride in the comity of nations”, the DG said, restating that capacity building remains NIMASA’s focal mandate.


Speaking on the theme: “Seafarers Matter” Dakuku specifically mentioned that continuous capacity building would be required in order to ensure the sustainable growth and development of the maritime sector and the country as a whole.

He urged seafarers to remain patriotic in the delivery of their services to their Fatherland and assured them that NIMASA would continue to collaborate with shipowners and relevant Stakeholders in the sector to ensure that their interest is protected.


Foreign Affairs Minister, Geoffrey Onyeama, and his Ethiopian counterpart, Dr Workneh Gebe, during the bilateral meeting in Addis Abba.
“We are proud of you and be rest assured that we will ensure that your interest is protected; in the light of these, we will also ensure that all international instruments pertaining to your welfare are fully implemented,” Dr. Dakuku assured.

The agency, so far, between 2008 and now has facilitated the training of 2,259 young Nigerians in various fields of maritime studies in reputable Maritime Institutions in the United Kingdom, Egypt, Romania, India and the Philippines.

It would be recalled that the Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi was earlier indicated to be stiffly opposed to the continuity of the NMU, Okerenkoko. Government allegedly cave in after the Niger Delta youths became unstoppable in pipelines vandalization, in spite of the pronounced presence of tools of coercion.

In the meantime, Nigeria and Ethiopia have rekindled their bilateral ties and have resolved to further work toward ensuring mutual progress and prosperity for both countries.

Nigeria’s Foreign Minister, Geoffrey Onyeama, disclosed this to newsmen at the end of a bilateral meeting with his Ethiopian counterpart, Dr Workneh Gebe.

He spoke on the sidelines of the 31st Ordinary Session of the Executive Council of the 29th AU Summit in Addis Asaba.

The minister said there was need for the two countries to continue to support each other and share experience on managing ethnic diversity.

Onyeama said areas of discourse between the two countries included cooperation in defence, politics, economy as well as consular and multilateral matters.

The minister solicited the support and cooperation of Ethiopia as Nigeria assumed the position of the Chairman of the AU Peace and Security Council on Saturday.

Nigeria and Ethiopia have long-standing relations even before Nigeria became independent in October, 1960.

Ethiopia opened its embassy in Lagos in 1961 and both countries have common interests in the consolidation of their bilateral relations.

The two most populous countries in Africa with a combined population of well over 200 million are multi-ethnic and multi-religious.

Nigeria and Ethiopia signed an agreement in June 2000 to provide teachers for various universities and high schools in Ethiopia.

Since then, Ethiopia had been the leading beneficiary of Nigeria’s Technical Aid Corps teachers, an excellent example of South/South relations.
