Career / Re: Chronicles Of My Life On Board Ship by Starpro87(m): 11:20am On Oct 04, 2023
Tbozun:
Day 2 (Wednesday 9th August, 2023)

I resumed for work a few minutes to 0800 today and went straight to the workshop to continue my rag cutting task. I had already being told by my cabin mate that I should always endeavor to get to work by 0750H. One of the ladies working in the ECR (Engine Control Room) came to call me and said that the chief engineer didn't know I had come that I should always come to the ECR first or else the chief engineer(CE) will think I came late. On getting to the ECR met some other officers of the engine room. The CE addressed all of us on being hardworking and avoid being negligent. He said he's watching and will take disciplinary action if necessary. He then dismissed us. After sometime he called me to ask for the ship I had worked before and I answered that this was my first time on board. He said I should be very careful being a first timer I should take things easy and should stay away from moving machinery until I know how to operate it. He asked for my career ambition which I told him I wish to progress to oiler then upwards. He then informed me that I should come to his cabin on Saturdays or Sundays to collect his boiler and civil suit to wash. Below is the hierarchy of the engine room ( from top to bottom):
Chief Engineer
2nd Engineer
3rd Engineer
Electrician
Fitter
Motorman
Oiler 1
Oiler 2
Wiper
(I may update in the future in case it's not correct)
One of the expatriate (of which I am yet to know his designation) came to call me that the CE wants to do some work that I should assist him. I went to help him bring in some of the things he wants to use to work in the workshop. He later instructed me to empty the dustbin which I did with the help of my cabin mate and the motorman. I also went down the engine room with both of them to clean the filter of the high sea check.
Veronica one of the ladies came to call us that provisions for the ship had arrived and that we should collect and put in store. While we were collecting the provisions I moved close to Alhaji Sariyu He told me he wondered why people are so selfish. He said the monthly allocation for the ship for food provisions is 1.2m but that everyone wants to cut their own share. From the captain, Chief Cook up to the people bringing it. We both agreed that that is the general attitude of Nigerians always wanting to get selfish benefits for any chance given to them. I was called to the 'Bridge' (Office of the captain and the ship's navigation center)today at several times to get my personal data and documents.

My little advice is that you should stick to it because you have a very great prospect.

Most importantly, that your department is a great place to work, onboard.

It's a life changing career.
Good luck.

Politics / Re: Coup: U.S Mounts Pressure On Tinubu As ECOWAS Fumes Over Mixed Signal by Starpro87(m): 9:06am On Aug 16, 2023
Democracy, as we were told, is the government of the people, by the people and for the people. Maybe the definition has changed in the case of the Niger Republic. The Nigeriens have declared their support for their current government, which other democracy are USA and ECOWAS talking about?

Tinubu must not yield to this pressure, unless he is another puppet of the states. The USA are pure hypocrites and conscienceless opportunists.

Ministerial List: Tinubu Is Very Unfair To This Man Who Did A Lot For Him

President Bola Tinubu has been unfair to Festus Keyamo who did a lot defending him day and night especially on the narcotics issue.

No first batch
No second batch
Is it because he lost his polling unit during the presidential election?

He should do more. He shouldn't get tired of doing what he thinks is good for his party. It was service to party not to Tinubu.

Politics / Re: Tinubu Never Challenged Forfeiture Order - Peter Obi Tells Tribunal by Starpro87(m): 12:31pm On Jul 22, 2023
seunmsg:
Is there any sense in challenging an order from a civil case?

So, if VIO or FRSC fines me N5k today for traffic offense, is there any sense in wasting time challenging the order?

Since it’s a forfeiture resulting from a civil case, what’s the point fighting it? Tinubu was already a Senator when the forfeiture order was made against his account. So, it makes more sense to simply allow the civil forfeiture order stand than to keep wasting money on appeal. Same way we all pay VIO and FRSC fine for traffic offense without appeal.

Are you saying, in like manner, Tinubu committed a drug (related) offence?

If you must be a fan of someone, please be so objective about it.

I'm not saying I don't support Tinubu's presidency buh we must call a spade a spade. If we continue to allow this level of sentiment to triumph in our society Nigeria will remain a baby state in 1million years to come. He who goes to equity must go with clean hands.

Family / Re: Genotype Issue. Please Be Rational ( I Am Not A Religious Person) by Starpro87(m): 6:56am On Jul 10, 2023
Bolt458:
I am not writing this for religious people to come with their funny talks, I am just putting this out here to hear from people who might have tried this methods or who heard about this methods and still proceeded or did not. I want to hear your experience. I have been dating someone for 5 years now, it happened that I began to see her as someone I would want to spend my life with. Last year we did our genotype test and we were both AS. Now , I know some of you will say this should be the first thing you ask when you meet someone but c’mon, would you say people in university that are dating now, would ask their sef that question? That theory is only feasible when you are single and ready to get married and want to start a new relationship, then you can always ask, but we all know some of our relationships started when we no Dey even see marriage in the nearest future, all of a sudden you just see them as the right person and you take the bold step. Now, I had to meet my family doctor here in Canada, I explained to him my current situation and he referred me to a GENETIC COUNSELOR. I am trying to take the necessary steps cause I am not ready to bring in a child with Sickle cell to this world, and I am not leaving anything to faith. A fone appointment was set with the counselor and we spoke at length. She told me that in every foetus, there is a 25% chance that we can get an SS child. Now , how do we mitigate this percentage to the barest minimum I asked as I am not even ready to bring in a sickler to this world. She gave me three options, I would rather say two because the last involves test when the baby comes, and that is out of the question.

Option 1:
A) CVS: They take a sample of the fluid in the womb through her vagina, at 12 weeks to test, if it’s good then fine, if not we have to terminate.

OR

B) At 16 weeks, they take the fluid using a needle directly from her womb, and if it’s SS , they terminate. Both procedures are cover by the government and we don’t need to pay a dime.

Now, she assured me that abortion is a very safe procedure if done properly, and it is even a bigger risk that one can die from a penicillin injection or carrying a pregnancy to term than any harm during an abortion.I know many people would come here and say abortion is this and that but let us be frank to ourselves. If you were told that the child in your womb would have cerebral palsy, or Down syndrome or a neurological disorder, would you still keep that pregnancy? Is there a 100% assurance that two AA people would give birth to a healthy baby? I have come to a realization that pregnancy is just a risk that people take, cus you really don’t know how your child would turn out.


Option 2:
PGD. This is just like IVF, where they would select the genotype before they insert back to the womb. She told me the government doesn’t cover this, and it could cost between $10K- $40k. However she mentioned, just like IVf, it is not guaranteed as it can fail and your money is gone.

I discussed this with my girl in Nigeria and she said she was fine with option 1a. I then asked her, that if the first, second are SS would she still remove it. She accepted. I would not lie to you, this girl is everything I want in a woman. I am not just looking at just love because I know love fades with time, but she is a really nice person, and has a good character. She has always been like this from my days in Nigeria because I was with her before I moved outside. Now after finding out our genotype, I tried to get into a relationship with AA. The first one Dey nigeria, she is a nice person, beautiful, but I just didn’t like her or feel attracted to her. She got tire and we just free ourselves, the second one is here in Canada, I just don’t like this one . Please note, I never slept with any of these ladies because I feel it’s not fair.


Now my question is for those who knew all this and still proceeded, how did it work out for you?

I repeat, don’t come here to tell me about how abortion is this and dat. Cus I know if they tell any of you that your child would be abnormal, 90% of you will go for the abortion

My Friend, AS is married to another AS, they have 2 beautiful daughters together, full of life.
I don't know what they do.
Note: They knew their genotype statuses before they got married.

I don't think the number of soldiers is true. Alex Bade was murder last time by civilians. He was the former chief of defence staff, if he has all these number of soldiers, bullet proofs, how come he was just killed so simple? Except if these are new packages

I think everything stated up there is true and valid but it doesn't, totally, eliminate some element of compromise.

The allowances of these aids are paid into the ex service chiefs' account.
So you understand what it means.

In fact these ex Service chiefs have kids and wives who cook for them.

Good morning guys

I finished my NYSC in February this year..
Since then
I have been job hunting...

I got an unpaid remote backend internship role with a company, with the assurance that they'll pay stipends after some time..

I also got a slot in an oil company...
The role is that of a petroleum surveyor/inspector..
I get to board ships or go to jettys and measure crude oil products on board and stuff like that...
I am still in the training stage though.

The problem is that I can't go into both of them fully simultaneously...
I am really confused about this..

Any advice from the bosses in the house will be appreciated!

If you wouldn't mind telling us the name of the oil coy, some of us can give you a useful counsel because some of those inspection coys have no future.

Stop spreading wrong information and misleading the public. Subsidy removal is yet to take effect, Jagaban statement is just a notification for future action. The Country is still implementing/working with the 2022 appropriation Bill for extended 6momths to come and there is provision for subsidy there.

The 2023 budget is where there is no provision for subsidy is yet to be implemented unit 6 months' time. Of course, the petroleum marketers are just hoarding the product to create artificial scarcity for their selfish interest, manipulating people ignorance

.........But Mr. president said and I quote "Fuel Subsidy is Over". Are you ignorant of the weight his statements carry?

Properties / Ethnic Sentiments Eating Deep Into Nigerians. by Starpro87(m): 11:34pm On Apr 16, 2023
Ethnic sentiment refers to the emotional attachment or attitude that an individual or group has towards a particular ethnic group, either positive or negative.
It can be influenced by a variety of factors, such as cultural background, personal experiences, and social and political contexts.
Ethnic sentiment can manifest in various forms, including prejudice, stereotypes, discrimination, and racism.
It is important to address and challenge negative ethnic sentiments in order to promote social cohesion and equity for all individuals and groups.

My experience.

I have my cousin who has been with me for some months due to his inability to afford an apartment, yet, in Lagos. So he decided to get one around my area, fortunately for him one of my colleagues is relocating.

She decided to hand the apartment to my cousin, so we were invited for an inspection today.
After the inspection my cousin affirmed he likes the place but the landlord told us that he would get back to us in, at least, 24hrs. Disappointingly, this evening my colleague informed me that the (Yoruba) landlord has insisted that he's not letting the apartment to any Igbo person.

We can see where the country is going.

Who else has had similar experience with an Igbo or Yoruba landlord in Lagos?
