Nice, these days people are mostly interested in a lucrative career, would be nice to inform us how the pay is like and for the position listed what's the minimum required qualifications.

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

With your extensive experience on sea, have you ever come across the sea creature mermaid?

Do you have idea on working in a submarine?

Mermaid is a myth and doesn't exist!!!!!

i dont have a first hand experience on how submarine works, though i've read a lot on submarines.... its an incredible piece of engineering

ibinaboonline:
They already sold the darn thing while I was still asking questions. I'm currently looking at a Mazda minivan 2015. I think I can weather the stigma of driving a minivan considering the great condition this one is in. I'm still debating between the Mazda and a 2012 Murano. Poor indecisive me. The Murano is cheaper by roughly $800. Also, with the Vue, I think GM already discontinued the nameplate, so the parts might be scarce even stateside.

The parts is readily available in Lagos, but pricey though..... Sometimes i order from ebay, the parts is interchangable with Chevrolet Captiva or Opel Antara, And also uses ford parts too....

Its a sweet ride with no issues, and set me apart from other users... the Fuel economy with its ecotec engine is top notch

ibinaboonline:
Your expert and experienced opinions about this car and using it Nigeria is highly welcome. 2015 Chevrolet Cruze.

Get it but remember their parts are so expensive and sometimes requires to be ordered.... One of my cars is a GM brand (Saturn Vue 2009) the parts are really expensive

Because we don't have a working system to charge traffic offenders

udede:
My dream car is range rover, i have never made enough money to buy one but i intend to buy one Nigeria used before the end of the year, budget 2m.
I don't really care that people have moved on to other brands because I don't have crowd mentality.

My problem is this :- please is there something i don't know about range rover sport.
Or why is the prices of the Nigeria used dropping .
Why is it no more popular?

Lol... Trouble dey sleep, you wan carry money go spray am

Tobijays:
I understand, This is the best time for a subsidized world class private medical facility in Nigeria. A lot of big folks I know do ther check up overseas, they don’t trust the system here despite the fact say nah Naija doctors full Yankee

Our private hospitals are cheap and also if you key into health insurance, you will benefit a lot

I have an health insurance with Venus Medicare and I've been enjoying the benefits of it, even though I hardly visit the hospital but my family are utilizing it well.

.

Tobijays:
it is common sense! FG should hands off Tertiary Education, let the school determine its pay and also pay its lecturers. ASUU should be funded by students fees that will eradicate strikes in the sector! It is not being an hypocrite it is the right thing Government should do. Government needs to hand off Education totally and focus on other sectors which will drive growth

Nobody is against that..... But you complaining about doctors living for greener pastures while they were trained in Nigeria is unethical, because we are thriving to survive and to live a better life, you won't expect me to remain in a place where my salary is not paid on time or not enough to settle bills.

Sorry about calling you an hypocrite, but sometimes we have to face reality that this country Nigeria is retrogressing.

Mamayam:
Tuition fee keh. What you pay is non-tuition. Government pays your Tuition fees.

i didn't attend your type of conventional school nah......

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

mastermaestro:
Go check the meaning of hypocrisy and come back with a more relevant comment. The hypocrites here are you and those ungrateful doctors running away after receiving an almost tuition-free education.

I thought you folks said nothing is working in Nigeria. How come the UK is stealing our trained medics?

You are just jealous about everything..... Didn't they pay tuition fee? Bought textbooks? Handouts nko?

Or the government handed everything free for them?

I'm still in Nigeria, working in a maritime company and paid more than a million naira per month, I've gone to different countries onboard a ship... I paid my tuition fees without the aid of the FG, So geddefok outta here as if you had the opportunity you ain't gonna do the same.

Let the government treat their citizens right... Pay health workers and teachers good salary

UAE are paying seafarers (Second engineers in Nigeria with DP earns 1.3million per month while in UAE you are paid about 2.3million per month) more than Indigenous maritime companies in Nigeria and lot of my mates are leaving for a more better salary and benefits, so what are you gonna say about this too? Mtchewww

Tobijays:
To study Medicine in UK non of them can’t! After paying cheap tuition, take advantage of the system they now travel overseas to get same pay as those that paid thousands of pounds to study medicine. Nigeria pays those that lectured them all for nothing! Nigeria must wake up

You can do the same...... Stop being an hypocrite

My guy way be plumber for Strasbourg day cash out £80,000 per week

PandoraObi:
That is for you your family members and your generations unless God is dead, your utterances, declaration and thought will crush you

From your responses, it shows how childish you are, probably you are still under your parents roof feeding fat from their hard-earned money, If only they know what they procreated is a MONSTER, full of hate and bigotry

sammirano:
Go and recover your destiny in Abia State. It is Yorubas that are to blame for the rubbish these refugees are pushing. People that couldn't survive in their poor and dying region. Wants to make a change in the place feeding them. People that are known in making premium bad decision. I believe after this elections this people needs to be put in place.

Purge yourself from HATE!!!!!

Hussein035:
You want Yoruba to elect Chinedu Gbadebo as Governor but in your useless region you can never allow an Abia indigene to even get primary election nominate in Anambra let alone being chairmanship flagbearer.

You people hate Yoruba too much yet you cannot go anywhere except their state to find livelihood still you want to take over their land due to jealousy. Thunder will strike you people in Saturday in Lagos. You will learn that this is SW and we don't need Igbo agenda in Lagos.

Bunch of Yoruba haters. Tueh

In as much I don't tolerate bigotry and tribal incitement

You should also purge away hate from your heart

In this world we came with nothing and we gonna all die taking nothing to the grave even your land of origin

So why are we just hating ourselves over nothing?

Nairaland is always promoting tribal wars ... Seun is also low-key pushing this agenda..

It won't END WELL for all of us if we continue acting this way

JAMO84:
I don't know why the Labouring in vain party and their head office, the Poverty Development Party are crying up and down. If the so called server has replaced the manual collation, why would inec go through the stress of collating from units to wards to LG, to State and federal? They said they will upload just for you to view, you turned it to the ultimate collation. Useless sore losers.

You are just another jobless loser on earth........ just get a life out of your penury

tizteezy:
Guys

Please what's the difference or meaning of these gencool, inverter, dual inverter and the like?

Thanks for the anticipated insights


I was about buying used AC but I've decided on holding on to raise money and buy brand new energy saving but efficient unit.

Inverter - This type of AC uses single rotor compressor which requires high speed rotation thereby more vibration and noise during operation at full capacity, though its energy efficient (It takes time to cool the room)

Dual Inverter AC - This type uses two rotor compressor and moves at 180 degree phase angle (This means it provides faster cooling, reduced noise levels, high energy savings, and shorter wait time with greater stability than normal inverter AC)

it is more expensive than the Inverter AC

In a nutshell: Its just like a car with a single cell radiator and a double cell radiator... Which car go get more cooling effect pass?

Genpal: It just a trademark name used by these brands to tell you that it is generator friendly even with the smallest generator

azidomedogo:
Thanks to the professionals in the house. I just came across this thread.

I bought a brand new nexus 1hp non inverter split AC which served me very well for 2 years.

Recently it would cool for 10 minutes and the compressor will shut off but the fan will keep blowing warm air and after let’s say 20 minutes it would display EC on the board and stop working completely . At times the Stabilizer would trip off on its own.

I called a technician who changed the capacitor and everything went back to normal . It worked for 4 months.

Now the problem is back. The compressor shuts down after cooling for 10 minutes and the EC error comes up again.

Please what could be the problem as I am fed up ?

Your AC has a leakage of refrigerant, get a good technician that has leak detector tools to check for leakage and braze affected point.... Most of these AC doesnt come with 100% copper coil tubings and hence the material fails and you start having issues with leakages

if there's no leakages, then either your indoor or outdoor PCB is bad

Panasonic, Carrier and Friedrich remains the best in Air conditioning

LG might be considered.... but anything with Nexus, Hisense their tubing are alloy (Aluminum with copper)

How much is GIG charging per cbm for sea shipping?

Go to their website, they have all the information you need

Nathan2016:
Are there agent that still help in ALIEXPRESS ORDERS.

I want to order different items from different sellers but I want to send it to an agent address in China before sending all of them to their office in Nigeria/Lagos.

Any website still doing that?

GIG is doing it....... They will give you a dedicated address to send you items, and you can track all items and consolidate them for shipping to Nigeria from your dashboard

[color=#0000ff]Even the said Choice isn't 100% Speedaf. [/color]

So which choice is at least 95% Speedaf?

does it have TF Card slot?

@mosbus

I have been following your thread keenly and i love technicians who works with modern tools peculiar to their job scope, Well i have a Saturn vue 2009 SUV and during the course of scanning my car, I got the P0532 code which points to the refrigerant pressure sensor, The issue here is that the car AC is not really effective during the day (Like extremely hot weather) but its ice cold in the evening, So i just took delivery of the Pressure sensor from ebay

Note: I've taken the car to AC technicians and all of 'em are talking about leakage and one I.diot even suggested to change compressor lol

That is why i had to check on Youtube for a possible solution and lot of videos on the P0532 suggested a pressure sensor replacement and how to change it

Now, the issue now i don't want to lose refrigerant while trying to change this sensor neither do i have vacuum pump to pump down the gas before changing, i want to know if this model of cars (GM brand) have Schrader valve before the sensor (probably you have worked on such cars before)

senator2k9:
Hello Auto experts in the house. My Honda 2009 has difficulty in starting especially when the engine is very cold. I was told it was a failing fuel pump.

I changed the fuel pump yesterday n the problem still persist. Its that bad that when u park for just 5 mins, u will have to start it between 3 to 5 times before it will start.

My local kazeem told me it might be the ECT sensor.

I need advice before it will spoil my kick starter.

Replaced your spark plugs with original NGK plugs

YPP don win Uyo already

Putting pressure on their social services? LMAO like really?

Y'all folks are just doing too much......
