How can a govt that have his people at heart be extorting money from them through various means to enrich only those working in govt parastatals? They stop subsidizing fuel for the masses the only item most Nigerians benefit from the govt, they gave us darkness and double tariff fee for light per month, and now this. They lay up suffering in a roll to the poor and then start giving them a cup of rice with 1/2L of vegetable oil.
This present govt is wicked and heartless. Their reward awaits them dead or alive.

Thermocool Generator is good. One year use wit no issue only normal changing of oil. Can carry small fridge, charge inverter batteries and also with washing machine and iron too, also can be use to power water pumping machine. The more the load the higher it's fuel consumption.

Invite her to your house since Oyo is not far from Ibadan, then tell her the whole truth there convince her enough and be patient and ready to take any reaction from her cos she is human and has emotions. Even if she doesn't know what to believe with her seeing your house she will believe you're telling the truth this time around. Thereafter she is all smiling make your proposal.

always read before you comment. He owns d coy. @op u hv to leave d job asap. I have noticed most business owners sleep/want to sleep with their female staff. All those sexy secretary nd admin workers. I don witness am live smh. Some ladies too dress seductively. U cannot turn left or right in a office and not see exposed yellow laps or bust. Mtcheeew

And what difference does it make? You have no idea what it means to have sexual harassment policy in a company. It's not ment for employees alone if u must know. I guess your company too doesn't have such policy in place from your comment.
Career / Re: How Do I Handle Work Place Sexual Harassment. HELP! by captain247: 4:18pm On Jun 28, 2016
Don't your company have policy in place with regards to sexual harassment for all workers? Report him to those handling sexual harassment in your company and they will take him from there. Ensure you have a witness or evidence.

Companies are suppose to educate their workers on sexual harassment to employees and managers, setting standard policies that will have positive effect on anyone reported engaging in such act irrespective of gender.
Career / Re: SEAFARERS Messroom by captain247: 7:27pm On Jun 26, 2016
Op you did well creating the Seafarer thread so all on Nairaland can rendezvous here.

Most Nigerians go into sea job just for the money and the opportunity of being employed.

The corruption starts from the ship. Most of the vessels do illegal bunkering and that is what attracts people from different profession to flood into the system like as if there is manner offshore. Some companies are aware but instead of fighting it they accept their own share.

It's only in Nigeria a company will ask a fresh applicant who has no sea experience to bring WATCH KEEPING CERTIFICATE before he will be employed instead of accepting the person as an OS to enable him get six months sea term before going for EDH and upgrade himself.

In Jamaica all their seafarers must attend their maritime school which is two years before obtaining an AB Deck or AB engine license with phases of going to sea in between studies.

Maritime Academy is sinking and the ministry of Transport in which the school is under is not responding to her distress. They don't inspect the school any longer to know exactly the problem of the school. It's not about pumping money into the system but ensuring the money being pumped is utilized for its purpose. Several cadets left maritime academy to Ghana maritime because they have what it takes to produce standard mariners not half baked.

Most Nigerians go on board to steal and destroy ship items. The insecurity around our waters has a lot to do with illegal bunkering operations carried out by ship crew.

We have to embrace discipline in everything we do. Most companies do not accept our license not because they have issues with the Academy but with the country as a nation. They believe anything about Nigeria is fraud or not genuine.
Cause those in the office wants their relatives to be in a position weather qualified or not.

How will Nigeria seafarers celebrate June 25th Seafarers day when no positive impact to their lives even ordinary protection from Nimasa we don't have.

Thanks VO for your wonderful job on this thread. I travelled to Houston in April last year to join a ship in Freeport as a Seafarer with a Type "D" visa and wanted travelling again around Nov last year aswell but this time my company which is an American company was told that my visa has limitation that I cannot enter the U.S. So I really was wondering if there is a new development regarding the visa for a crew.

BossDanniee:
Banga Soup (Ofe Akwu)
Nigerian Banga Soup or Ofe Akwu is native to
the Niger Delta and the South Eastern parts of
Nigeria. In the Niger Delta areas, Banga soup
is commonly eaten with various fufu recipes:
Starch, Pounded Yam, Semolina, Garri and
Cassava Fufu. In the South Eastern parts of
Nigeria, Banga Soup is referred to as Ofe Akwu
where Ofe means Soup / Stew and Akwu
means palm fruit and is used mainly as stew
for Boiled White Rice. This soup is popular in my hometown Ika (Ika Nation).

Cc; Lalasticlala

You make brain in this your write up but this banga soup is the igbo banga stew . Urhobo banga soup is not prepared with pumpkin leaf, its either dry or fresh bitter leaf depend on the fish type it could be dry fish or fresh fish or ebenetete.

I'm so wowed with all I've seen on here, ranging from offices and field personel, I duff my hat for y'all.

I studied Electrical Electronics Engineering with a flair for control and Instrumentation and electromechanics... Basically, I'm the type that likes to sweat and get his fingers dirty.

I recently just got called to a job... Two actually but the first is with a penta company (Marine and land) offering stipend...emphasis on the stipend and the other is a microfinance offering more.

I'm confused as to which to go with cos the before I have a flair for and but can barely take care of transport and feeding which in turn means I'm working for free.

The later is around Apapa but not in tune with my career path.

Wiser ones, pls advice... Speak to me!!!

I have been in a similar situation years back where I have to choose between having a job for the money sake and building a career path. Other colleague of mine choose the job with the money and that with time they will find other ways out for their career but I didn't. I waited and hope on God, shortly I got my career path of job. It's a difficult choice to make I must tell u. If you don't have any means of survival go for the later but don't fail to plan your career alongside

Politics / Re: Marketers Sell Fuel Above N145 — The PUNCH by captain247: 1:25pm On May 14, 2016
The government should have allowed the market forces of demand and supply to dictate the price. Look at diesel, prices are between N120 and N125, which are being dictated by market forces since the government has removed its hands of the process. If the government had allowed total deregulation, fuel could be sold for as low as N80 per litre.”[b]

Every leader has a reward be it good or bad. The cry of the poor will surely not be in vain.
