Firstly as a busy and family man, I do not have time to watch cable TV, I do not even own a DSTV because its a waste of money with few good channels to watch, Thats why i opted for TSTV last year because of their good kiddies contents but unfortunately they are messed up lately, Thank God Starlink came to the rescue and i got an IPTV subscription for one year from a guy here on Nairaland... So i watch premium channels (including DSTV) online and the kids also watch premium kiddies channels in their room.

If not for my family, Wetin concern me with TV program, Because i only watch Netflix or few documentaries whenever i'm at home and i don't exceed more than 3 hours watching the TV, the rest is on my phone or Laptop

May God bless Elon Musk... because i can't imagine myself paying such amount for a mediocre cable TV

Those blaming WIKE, wait let the Gov tell us what's going on in the state. Every other thing is speculation.

You dey type as if you don't know that WIKE is the brain behind this brouhaha

descartes400:
After almost 70years as a nation, we don't have network of cargo trains to and from every state of the federation to facilitate bulk movement of goods and services.

This is shameful.

Even if we do, wicked folks will find a way to ground the train, or truck drivers coming to stage a protest ............ this country has a long way to go

Jennyclay:
I put to you that this bolt driver is not innocent .

The police should tortured him and watch him confess all his evil deeds .

As long as I’m alive, I can never trust a man not even a Nigerian man.

Biko!! Torture him!!!

What about your dad? Or is he a deadbeat father?

Those you mock today are going through their own worst moments, yours will come too. I hope you will have the strength to mock yourself.

My friend Gettat!!!

RevDesm0ndJuju:


Tragic!

We are our own worse enemies.

So the local companies used the law to chase out multinational firms only to end up exploiting workers far worse.

Nah wah.

Very Correct!!!!

Please how do I join the company Baba

- DISCHARGE BOOKLET
- YELLOW CARD
- PASSPORT
- NIMASA STATUS AS ELECTRICIAN

THANKS, AWAIT YOUR RESPONSE.
OTHERS WHO CAN ASSIST FOR PLACEMENT CAN ALSO REACH ME.


Well i will advice you to check online for Oil tanker companies, also take a walk dem full Apapa, drop your CV too,

Working onboard as an electrician has a good prospect of climbing the rank of an ETO

You can get your license as an ETO in Ghana at the moment, cos Nigeria does not offer ETO license

Industry pay rate for ETO goes as $250 per day on offshore vessels in Saudi Aramco

RevDesm0ndJuju:


I thought the Nigerian Maritime Cabotage law also ensures not only local content but also good working conditions for Nigerian maritime workers ?

Dey play!!! lol ever since local content law came into play into the maritime sector, it has worsen the conditions of seafarers

When Indigenous firms started becoming big players in the system, they made sure the jumbo packages and allowances paid by the multinational companies were slashed and some will even be owing you salary for months.

The maritime industry in the country died the day local content was introduced, Lot of foreign companies left the country with lof of their ships and up till now the indigenous companies can not meet up with the growing demand in the industry.

Anything a black man touches turns to dust

Dshocker:


Due to lack of the opposite sex, they tend to womanize and spend lavishly.

lol...... Its tied to your personality, even though it was rampant with olden days seafarers, but new breed seafarers are more calculative with their spending and their sexual urges

RevDesm0ndJuju:


Shipping container vessels are the worst


I saw a doc recently on how the international shipping industry is shrouded in secrecy over its real owners and how slave labour conditions of third world workers is being exploited.

Working with shipping companies that are directly regulated by NIMASA and Nigerian cabotage laws is far better.

Indigenous maritime companies are also taking seafarers for a ride also, that is why lot of us are leaving for Saudi Arabia, Dubai & UK jobs which pays X3 of what we earn in Nigeria, except for multinational companies in Nigeria which their daily rate is very ok.

NIMASA are not carrying out their responsibilities on enforcing the International wages for seafarers in Nigeria, I hope the new minister of blue economy works towards it.

RevDesm0ndJuju:
I won't advice anyone to choose this career route because over the years shipping companies have become so dubious towards their crew members.

You will be owed salary for months and denied port leave as well. Rations onboard are terrible and work conditions are slave tier.

Most of the ships are registered in countries that have zero maritime and cabotage labour laws.

Most offshore crew are now drawn from poor SEA and Asian countries unlike what transpired years before were the international shipping industry was dominated by European crew.

The owners of these shipping companies are all Jewish and they try to evade local hiring and labour rules and regulations by registering their vessels under the flag of countries with next to no maritime labour laws.

I will advice that if you must go down this career path ensure its with a local firm or a firm that is under Nigerian cabotage regulation.

You are not far from the truth..... I think most of the tanker crew are suffering from this act from shipowners

That's why i am sticking with offshore vessels, where i earn better and more flexible time to do other things

Thank God for Saudi Aramco opening lot of offers to Nigerian Seafarers.......

Love800:
Hello.
Dis wiper that the op is being called, is it the same tin as cleaner?

Me dat is an ssce holder, 26yrs of age, can i apply for this kind of work, a cleaner onshore?

If you have the connect because those kind of positions are reserved for the host community especially for offshore vessels

Note: Wiper is only available on bigger ships like Oil tankers, bulk carriers but not on offshore vessels like AHTS, PSVs or DSVs

Wiper's job is not limited to cleaning lol but as a helper to the duty engineer

Welcome aboard, it's good to have a fellow seafarer on this forum

You are lucky to be employed onboard with your age as a wiper, I think you have someone at the top who linked you up in the company and from your story i've read, You are working on an Oil tanker vessel and which could happen to be (ST company - abbreviated for personal reason).

Your job description as a wiper is to keep the engine room clean and tidy, Help out in other engineering jobs carried in the engine room... You are in the lowest rank in the engine room department, and i will advise you keep your head on the ground and learn the job instead of poke nosing on ship provisions etc or using religion stuffs in your workplace since the owner of the company shares the same faith with you.

Your next rank you should be targeting is "Oiler" this is an engine room rating personnel who also helps the duty engineer in their daily tasks in the enginee room and you must apply for the watchkeeping exams and must pass before climbing up the rank.

Then your next rank should be Fourth Engineer and this involves a lot if you keep your head down to study and get your license.

My word of advice to you: Get closer to your duty engineer and learn the piping arrangements of the vessel, boiler operation, Main engine shutdown and starting operations, purifier maintenance and other anciliaries, This will make you a good engineer in the future.

I know the Indians onboard can be frustrating but that shouldnt deter you from learning.

Also as a married man, After getting your Oiler watchkeeping certificate, You can target applying to Offshore vessels which has less contract duration of (2 months on/ 1 month off) unlike tanker vessels of 6 months contract and extension.

I wish you luck!!!

500k per month is a bit ok…. At least when I was earning such amount 6 years ago, I did so much out of it.

Now where man dey earn 1million plus, person no fit carry am do anything, all thanks to Buhari and Tinubu

Na now I discover say the more you earn, the more your spending and responsibilities.

nairalanda1:



In this case, I advice that we wait and see what is going on.

The Police have said that she is being investigated for serial fraudulent activites. On the basis of petitions that are there. At the risk of sounding like a police lackey, the fact is, if she has been engaging in illicit acitivies, then the Police have every right to look at her.

She also is not the only one that has sued police. Others sue police, and nothing happens. Also, she does not appear to be involved in politics, or is she a human rights activist, otherwise my suspicion would be heightened

So for now make we dey wait. For all we know, this could be a criminal pulling wool over our eyes, or a genuine case of police brutality. And God knows our police force is a big time rights abuser, and get room for improvement,(see ENDSARS), but at the same time, criminals should not take us for a ride either.

Modifed

Looks like the cops have been looking for her for a long time. She has been wanted since at least July...alongside someone else who was cleared.

There is more to this case than police persecution.

this is a case of side chick transaction gone wrong, remember she was wanted along with former SSA to the previous governor and was called to come clear any wrong doings but she refuses and only the guy went there and cleared his name (We all know how people with affluence in the country behaves and seals the truth with powerful connections and money)

So whatever that happened, that dude gave her some lead and other information to carry out any illegal activities.

But we await the outcome

That is not a bad idea. Good job

It is at the moment…. It’s the duty of the employer to seek for training of their staffs on fire fighting.

Who’s gonna pay the certified fire safety officer? The government or the employer?

Before I became a seafarer, I didn’t know about firefighting, I had to be trained on fire fighting in case of fire outbreak onboard a ship.

Staffs can be trained on simple usage of fire fighting equipment, mock drills to avert any future fire outbreak

What is wrong with Ned. As an observant Muslim who is always in the mosque , he should know that compulsory autopsy is against Islamic rules. While it should be optional for unbelievers, it shouldn’t be made compulsory in a majority musim nation like nigeria

You guys are just taking this religion stuffs so seriously…..
