kenx1: By today’s standards, Titanic would be considered very small. There are at least two dozen cruise ships that exceed the Titanic, mostly by tonnage. Titanic was a puny 46,329 gross registered tonnes (GRT).Almost any cruise ship built in the last 20 years is far larger than the Titanic. The 3 biggest cruise ship at the moment are: Oasis of the Sea owned by Royal Caribbean International. (225,282 GT ) Allure of the Sea owned by Royal Caribbean International (225,282 GT) Norwegian Epic owned by by Norwegian Cruise Line (155,873 GT) Pictures of Norwegian Epic

Thank you all for your wonderful contributions, this is a positive community and I have gained a lot from your replies.A problem shared is a problem halved they say. @ olas2u You are right,gaining quality experience in my field and self-development is of paramount importance to me right now. @Sharon_f I have thought about that as well,probably ‘my missing Naija’ is because i've not been to Nigeria in 4 years.Maybe I should spend few weeks or even months in Naija first before deciding if it will be the best option for me. @ omega25red Good point,yes I will definitely miss the conveniencies of the west if I move back home. @ dell_net Probably this is what I should do, move to some exotic island. Saving 75% of my salary shouldn’t be a problem because while on board, feeding and boarding will be free therefore i can save everything I make during those periods. But why do you think Thailand isn’t any good? My classmates told me I can rent a lovely house with maid with my salary with a lot to save,I know few sailors living there, though they are all white. @ worry246 Hmm…Food for thought. @snowdrops Thanks a lot, you are right, my considering moving to Nigeria is mainly because of my family/friends back home after all, a place is only as good as the people you know in it but as people also say: “Home is Where You Make It”meaning your home is anywhere you feel comfortable calling home . At the moment,I don’t have any girlfriend . |

snowdrops: Was born in UK but grew up in Nigeria,I left Nigeria for UK when i was 17 (4 years ago) ,my parents are in Nigeria as well as my friends.My elder sister is here though,she works and lives here. Right now,the most important thing for me is to gain some quality experience on my chosen career path and glory be to God,i have an employment already with a reputable shipping company.Future plan,well,i will say probably become a ship captain before i am 30 . I have missed Naija a lot and i believe it might be the best place for me to settle down,cost of living is reasonable and i will also be close to my parents,but i also love the comfort of the west,24 hours light,safety and the quality of life but cost of living is off the roof.So you see,i am a confused kid . |
Travel / To Move Back To Nigeria Or Not. by sailor1234: 6:51pm On May 21, 2011 |
I am new on nairaland and this will be my first post .Little about myself; i am a Nigerian,21 years old and presently undergoing a training in UK and in few months time,i will fully qualify as a Deck Officer.I have already secured an employment with a shipping company where am supposed to be doing 4 months on sea and 2 months off rotation.Salary is about 31,800 Pounds which translates to 2650 Pounds monthly (tax free). I can live anywhere i want in the world since i will be flying out to and from my ship before and after sailing,all cost will be taken care of by my company. I am thinking of moving back to Lagos where my salary will go far ,662K/month in Lagos isnt that bad ,moreover,i only have to stay home 4 months in a year as i will be on sea most of the time, Do you think this is a good idea? Most of my British classmates are planning to move to places like Barbados,Thailand,malta because of the high cost of living in UK and i am beginning to consider those places too. If you were me,where would you chose to live?i have both Nigerian and British passport. |
