The Nigerian Merchant Navy Seafarers (Maritime, petroleum security and safety corps) has been takings as responsibility to secure maritime, petroleum organization and contribute to the maintenance of external and external aggression. It further implies that the Nigerian Merchant Navy Corps (NMN) would assist the government to uphold its authority and protect national economic resources
Brief History Of Nigerian Merchant Navy (NMN )And Nigeria Navy (NN)
In Nigeria, the navy was created in 1958 from the defunct Nigerian Marine Department originally formed in 1914 after the merger of the northern and southern Nigerian marine detachment (merchant navy).the northern and southern marine detachment originated from the British mercantile marine- the armed merchant ships of British shipping and trading companies of the nineteenth century, which in collaboration with royal navy, help to colonize Nigeria. In 1922 king George v changed the name of the British Merchant service to Merchant Navy in recognition of its role in World War 1.
Nigeria Navy was formed because of the attack the merchant navy face on the high sea and due bad experience facing Nigeria Merchant Navy at the sea called SEA LOBBER because Merchant Navy are not armed, equipped and trained as Nigeria Navy to face the attack. The British Government now carved out Nigeria navy from Nigerian Merchant navy to be trained as a sea soldier in 1956 eleven small boat and harbour craft and about 200 officers and men were transferred from the then defunct (Nigerian Merchant Navy) to become independent naval defence force.
In 1958 the British parliament formally reconstituted the colony Small Naval Defence force as the royal Nigeria Navy.
The term royal was dropped when Nigeria became a Republic and negligence of Nigerian Merchant Navy ,Nigeria navy took over all their duty which made them useless and jobless . Now they are clamoring for independent to be set free by national assembly in which it will provide thousand of jobs for unemployed youth in Nigeria .
It is hard to believe that that Nigerian merchant navy gave birth to Nigeria navy it is only know by few people in Nigeria even history and records will tells and if Ghana ,United State of America, Canada, South Africa, Australia, Venezuela (caracas), Chile, Denmark, Mexico, united kingdom e.t.c Nigeria should not be left out . .
WHO IS A MERCHANT NAVY ?
A country commercial ships and people who work on them, who were trained to serve on land or sea. A nations merchant fleet comprise the ship that is used to transport cargo during times of peace and war.
.
Ship transport is used for a variety of unpackaged raw materials ranging from chemical, petroleum product and bulk cargo such as coal ,iron-ore, cereal, bauxite and others.
It is therefore unfortunate, that because of greed for accumulating of wealth from the merchant Navy Auxilliary, Nigerian Merchant Navy left partly of their duties on-done after the establishment of the Nigeria Navy (NN) in 1956 and flee to sea, which is their LIFE and HERITAGE, leaving the marine policing duties undone, which created a lot of sea security lapses for instance, if there was separation of power checks and balances between the Nigerian Merchant NAVY(NMN) and Armies of the naval profession each formation would seat up with is assigned duties properly.

Maritime strategy in peace and in war. Merchant ship are regards as the “FOURTH ARMS” of defenses ( after ARMY,NAVY AND AIR-FORCE), force multiplier or the centre -piece of logistic train for any war at sea. A merchant ship stands as good chance as a warship of being hit by a missile, a mine or torpedo. Proper naval training becomes essential for merchant men to imbibe them courage, spirit of heroism, deep sense of patriotism and national honor.
Different nation follow different patterns in the training of Navies. This training philosophy is a sound one in view of what has been said about the roles of merchant ships in war. It is the ways to groom and would seat up with is assigned duties properly pattern in the training of men of their merchant navies.
