Nigerian Navy town class boats

Sokoto? Ibeno? These are town class boats.

The Nigerian Navy has a naming system for its vessels. Frigates are usually named thunder. For example, NNS Obuma (obuma = thunder in Efik), NNS Aradu (Aradu = thunder in Hausa), NNS Okpabana (okpabana - thunder in Igala), NNS Thunder (thunder = thunder in English).

Landing ship tanks are usually named after crocodiles, for example, NNS Ambe (ambe = crocodile in Tiv), NNS Offiom (offiom = crocodile in Efik) and NNS Kada (kada = crocodile in Hausa).

Our old corvettes, NNS Dorina (Hausa), NNS Otobo (Kalabari), NNS Erinomi (Yoruba) and NNS Enyimiri (Igbo) were also named after hippopotamus , while our new corvettes have English names (NNS Centenary, NNS Unity).

There is a class of patrol boats that are named after towns (and ethnic groups). Some famous examples include:

NNS Ibadan and NNS Ogoja: NNS Ibadan was a minesweeper/patrol boat that was involved in the Civil War. It was in Calabar at the start of the war, so the Biafran Navy seized it. It was commanded by P.J. Odu. The Biafran Navy renamed it BNS Vigilance.

NNS Ibadan was involved in a battle with NNS Ogoja near Bonny. NNS Ogoja was commanded by Akin Aduwo, who would later become the chief of naval staff during the Shagari era. NNS Ogoja severely damaged NNS Ibadan and it caught fire.

The interesting thing was that Akin Aduwo and Paschal Odu were classmates at the academy. Aduwo got on his ship's public address system and told Odu to surrender and he would not be harmed. Instead Odu jumped off the burning ship and swam into the bush. Aduwo saw Odu many years later and asked him why he didn't surrender. Didn't he know that he would not be harmed? Odu replied that he knew that Aduwo would never harm him, but he couldn't speak for Aduwo's subordinates.

The Nigerian Navy put out the fire on NNS Ibadan and towed it to Lagos to present it to General Gowon.

NNS Badagry: is a patrol boat. In 2013 it was engaged in a gun battle with pirates that had captured an oil tanker. The pirates tried to escape and NNS Badagry killed 12 of them before the remaining 4 surrendered.

NNS Andoni is the first made in Nigeria seaward defence boat.

NNS Karaduwa is another made in Nigeria seaward defence boat.

NNS Ibeno was commissioned by President Muhammadu Buhari yesterday.

Others include NNS Sokoto, NNS Oji, NNS Bonny, NNS Bomadi, NNS Burutu and NNS Ose.

Baba this is front page material. Highly educative. I enjoy the read...please create a more detailed thread about this.

Yea I think those branches deserve some respect too, but they prefer to rob them and praise Messi, I remember when Niesta deserve world best after wining everything yet they give it to him, but when things go wrong, they tag others...

I will suggest Messi to go back to Barcelona and retire there, he can't succeed outside Barcelona not even Eibar self

Werey world cup still dey pain this foool.

You have 3 macbooks, 2 HPs and one Dell yet you claim the macbooks are shitty devices? Why keep plenty shitty devices?

You must feel so happy that you run a local server on your dell?

You are possibly a C++ programmer. Your life depends on windows. The OP wants to learn web development. He doesn’t need Mingw. He doesn’t want to run a local server on a dell in his room.

Congratulations on being the most qualified programmer on Nairaland. Your name must be Bill Gates the maximus pro max. Unfortunately, this is not a phallus wagging contest. It is to proffer a recommendation to an aspiring web developer.

As the Igwe gburu-gburu of Nairaland programmers, you should know that many people dont have external monitors nor need one to write simple websites. I am sure less than 10% of coders here own a 4k external monitor. It is an overkill in order to build iya nkechi’s canteen website. This brings us back to the importance of the quality of the primary screen of the laptop.

Everyone knows macs were not built for gaming. The OP is not an aspiring gamer. He is an aspiring website developer. Maybe if you can come down from your royal throne, you would be able to see that.

Many developers use apple to develop because that is the only bare metal you can use to develop apple codes. Period. Except you want to start hackingtoshing, you must get a macbook. It is not because it is sleek (though it is sleek and beautiful) but because it is useful.

Now your royal highness, the global variable of programming knowledge, i hope i have not offended his majesty with my submissions.

You think you are a webdeveloper and you can work for tech firms if you cannot write custom native programs for your webserver which are stacks of native programs running on a server? A physical computer?
.
.
You think you are qualified to be called a developer if you can't create native web programs?
.
.
Aiish...seem you guys are far ahead make I no talk opposite.
.

I tire.

About apple codes read my message again werey. Developing for that apple ecosystem is why I have my 2018 MBP. Or maybe you don't even know what an ecosystem is in tech.

Senseless Buffon couldn't even understand simple English. For what OP is trying to achieve, MacBooks are shitty. Having them also doesn't mean I use them more...for Bleep sake MacBooks can only run as much server computing as your tiny incognito brain.

And since you are so daft to not understand. I learnt what I am telling OP by experience. I got the MBPs and had to get the other devices after I have learned...werey

Typescript, js, go, are my major langs.
I manage servers so I use C++ and java to write custom daemons for specific purposes...

And don't talk about c++ as if it is one cheap language...you are useless in the tech world if you don't know a native language for hardwares.

Tsfari:



Really? So the MacBook has no edge over the Hp?

For a newbie a MacBook has no edge at all. Please check the reply I made above this one.

truthCoder:


A clear example of hate em if you aint got em.

So anyone with a MBP is automatically a yahoo wannabe?

What is the real deal o? Should he start wearing 'Aba packing shirts' and 'Choir trousers' whilst at it to show he is a serious learner?

Man. I use three different MacBooks for my online tutoring, learning and video editing here in Russia. I also have two HPs and a dell. The dell is for my gaming server. Yes I run my own server from my room.
.
.
When it comes to compiling and building and running codes, windows has an edge. Huge documentations, access to internal configurations, more compatibility, forward and backward. Mingw for instance and second can be setup to compile codes on windows in minutes. It could take you months on Macs. I use macbooks only for fancy jobs and software development for the apple ecosystem.
.
.
Forget about screen resolutions, every decent programmer gets a 4k screen and hook up their pc to it....taah why am I explaining... Dude I work for Turing clients and dev companies in Moscow. I am probably the most knowledgeable person on this topic in this forum.
.
.
And FYI no MacBook is a gaming PC. They only have lightweight graphic cards. I do game development too and sorry, MacBook is so shitty in that regards.
.
.
Most developers in the USA use macbooks only because the apple ecosystem thrives there...and they develop mainly for this platform...it kinda makes you feel sleek too.
.
.
As for yahoo things. Yahoo boys kinda like taking videos with their MacBooks to give the impression that they are kind of rich...we all know this ...even though I can confidently tell you they are using the wrong device for their stupid 'job' cuz even when it comes to hijacking, hacking, and overwhelming networks, you don't wanna use an apple device!!!

Forget the apple hype and go for the HP. Use the extra money to improve yourself and your programming skills. Na skill you wan learn no be yahoo. Leave fancywork for now and focus on the real deal.

Good day Nairalanders
I will be 40 on Oct 19 this year and I am scared the kind of life I have always desired may not be
achievable. Let me list these things that worries me so that you can probably advise me or assist me in achieving any of them.
1) By 40 I had wished I will be living in my house with cars in my garage
Current situation- I am a salary earner who eagerly waits for the salary to drop before my family can eat conveniently every month.
2)I love cars and driving. Was thinking of getting a good car for Uber business.
Current situation- I have not been able to gather enough money to buy a car for Uber or personal use.
3)Seeking greener pasture abroad.
Current situation- I have not been able to have enough disposable income to even get a passport to start with in the first place.
4)Self development. I had interest in programming so I decided to learn coding and all that. I started with free code camp and also this thread by iyenimofe on nairaland has been so helpful https://www.nairaland.com/1383359/learn-web-design-live-nairaland/6#17571611
The issue I have progressing is that of enough data subscription to watch more tutorials.
5)Acquisition of at least Masters.
I have a passion for learning and self development but I struggled to have my HND with distinction. Gathering enough funds to start my masters program has been an uphill task.

Little about my background
I am an HND graduate
I have a sister who am responsible for also.
I have a wife and two kids.
I work 8-5weekdays

.
.
If you don't mind leaving your wife and kids in Nigeria for at least two years and you can get a passport... Message me.... I will handle the rest...make you come hustle in Russia👍

If you cannot afford to lose the car, please don't ever give it out. Such things always turn sour in the end.
.
.
Engine failure, gear failure, mechanical issues, accidents, paper and police issues...all these are excuses they will end up using to not remit your money or get your car destroyed. It's better you drive it yourself. From experience of close pals in Uber and bolt, you could earn between 20k to 30k a day. It all depends on location and type of vehicle though.

SamsonDGreat:
What it takes to make big bucks online is being stupid!


In fact,

The more stupid you are, the more likely you will make a lot of money.

Let me explain

The problem with being smart is you overcomplicate & overanalyze things.

…so instead of starting, you overthink & see the reason why things won’t work.

Then when something is working you start to touch and retouch & change things up till you ruin it all.

But, if you observe really successful people, you'll realize that what they do is actually very SIMPLE:


They start ONE THING.

They find what works

…and they do it, every friggin 'day.

Like one stupid worker bee.

And guess what?? They go home with the big bucks.

You need to find the ONE THING that works - and bloody stick to it, like a dummy.

Even if you don’t feel like… or if it hits a snag… or if it stops being interesting.

Take Affiliate Marketing for instance, every single person making it big in this business model follows the same process:


They Get leads,

Show them how the products they are promoting can help them, and

Ask them to buy.



A simple 3 step process.

Attract, Preframe, Close.

No complicated set up, no chasing after shiny objects, or shortcuts. They just do what works.

Learn how to get LOTS of leads, Learn how to showcase what you sell & ask them to buy.

It is simple.

…but you are overanalyzing it & complicating it.

So, forget about the technical aspects of business, focus on the core principles and milk it until you make a lot of money.


I wish you success.

You are a wise man

So you will only support a candidate that is heebo or partly heebo ?

So much for your anti tribalism

Nah...baba Omo Yoruba ni mi

caleboxylic:


God punish you. Why do you want a competent Igbo to repair Nigeria for you? We will give you Nigerians okorocha that you lots deserve.
Stop writing about Igbo or whatever opinion you have about us should die with you.

See how sensible people replied... But see how you betrayed yourself and exposed your gullibility. This Tinubu thing pain you no be small ooo....ode

seunmsg:
Having a good CV is not enough to win election in Nigeria. Tinubu has a far better CV than Peter Obi but Igbos still rejected him. Sanwo-Olu has a far better CV What Han Chinedu, he’s even the best performing governor in the last four years. Yet, Igbos prefer an inexperienced and Yoruba hating kid called Chinedu over Sanwo-Olu.

So you see, it’s not about CV but regional interest and national unity. A candidate that can’t convince majority of interest groups in Nigeria that they will be protected under him or her can’t be president. The Peter Obi fiasco should have thought you guys a lesson in national politics.

.
But let's say she is running on the platform of the rulling party or a 'serious' opposition with a very solid Vice presidential candidate from the north... Won't she stand a good chance?

Mindlog:


If she identifies herself as Igbo, what will you say?

Don't mind that person. Forget the law...even every culture in Nigeria identifies marriage as a means for a woman to legitimately become a part of a tribe or a new culture. I am Yoruba by the way.

DMerciful:
She wont win. Insofar she is Igbo!

I think she will...considering the huge amount of international support she will Garner. Any sitting president would want to ensure a free and fair election if someone like the woman is involved.

I think the Igbo people still have a good shot at this presidency of a thing if they can field a candidate like Prof. Ngozi Okonjo Iweala.
.
With her vast knowledge of economies and her experience at the world stage, we can be certain she has all it takes. Wikipedia currently quotes her age to be 69 which makes her much younger than the incumbent president.
.
She is known for her neutral stance in ethno-religious commentaries and she has worked with several Nigerian presidents and world leaders.
.
.
In my opinion, most Nigerians will vote for this woman if she ever runs for office.

otuomasirichi:
You see the reason why Igbo and Yoruba marriage should be abolished by all means. They rejected Gbadebo Vivour because his mother is Igbo. What's the essence of of marrying an Igbo woman and later see her children as Outcasts or intruders. This is an act of wickedness

No he shot himself in the leg with his numerous anti Yoruba campaigns.

franchasofficia:
You are not an Obidient.


I don't gerrit, what do you suggest they do to a thug who came with his gang to attack voters and snatch ballot box? Maybe offer him food, drinks and money?



Before a thug embarks on such deadly mission, he ought to know the risk involved.

And that is why you decided to insult the whole tribe? You lack the capability to carry out simple reasoning. This is why you and your okoro fools will lose a second time.

drsugar:
You guys shouldn’t have said that Lagos is a no man’s land.


Lagos is NOT a “NO MAN’S LAND …. and will never be!

Anambra is not a “NO MAN’S LAND

Kano is not a “NO MAN’S LAND

Bayelsa is not a “NO MAN’S LAND

London is not a “NO MAN’S LAND

New York is not a “NO MAN’S LAND

Durban, South Africa is not a “NO MAN’S LAND

Malaysia is not a “NO MAN’S LAND


The same attitude that you guys are using to cause problems and give Nigeria a bad name in South Africa, Malaysia and so on is what you are now repeating in Lagos.

You guys need to do an introspection and examine yourselves, especially your foolish toxic - tribalistic dominance mentality.

Look at the first military coup in Nigerian and the role you guys played? That was the beginning of Nigeria’s mess that we are still trying to get out from..

Also look at the civil war when you guys wanted to leave Nigeria and betray the federation just because CRUDE OIL had just been discovered from your region (NB: The first oil well, Olobiri oil well was in old eastern region)

You guys are PERPETRATORS of problems in Nigeria and NOT VICTIMS.

At least after today’s election, that your foolish sense of over-importance will reduce.

You have lost the presidential election, you’ll lose Lagos too today.

You have awoken the ethnic and tribal consciousness in most of us, including our highly intelligent youths who don’t normally bother about things like this before.

God bless una!!!!

PutinDBomb:
Igbos in Lagos

Will you allow Afonja people with ugly tribal marks to rule you?

Their children are thugs

Their women are prostitute

Their father's are rapists


Let us vote Vivour and so that Yoruba people will not rule us.

They're illiterates. When we win, we will take over Lagos and banish them from our new land

We will pay them back and destroy their houses and businesses.


It's time to take over Lagos Ndi igbo

Let them know no one messes with the Igbo bloodline. Vote Vivour

You forgot many Yorubas are obidients. I was sad Obi didn't win...now I don't even care. Morons like you don't realize more than half of LP's vote in Lagos during presidential came from Yoruba obidients and christians. You will lose. slowpoke son of useless father.

IKBARUTEN11:
I can't be convinced that he joined the queue to vote if I don't see a photo of him queuing as the last person

You are denying your MColuomo's thugs

Lagos is NO man's land

We told you guys that when we ready, una go run like your useless Lagos Oba

One of the useless APC Tinubu MColuomo's thugs is shot dead

His body will be used for oro festival tonight

IDIOTs

You Igbos thinking you can do it alone, insulting innocent Yorubas especially Yoruba christians who are obidients (talks like this is why many of us are scared of voting LP this time around)

Chidi324:


That's a good question. I am not sure I would classify it as wanting one so badly. It's just that it's a vehicle I have wanted to own for a long while now but didn't have the time to get it since.

Right now, I have provisions to fulfill that want, that's all.

I'm fully aware that it is a very old model vehicle, some are used as Towing Vehicles, and do not carry the effizy of the newer models. I am well settled in that antique space and I really like the old WorkHorse; bare bones, no fizzles.

Try contacting any of these nairaland auto dealers and ask them if they have any car importation links in Russia. What you are looking for is all over Russia here.... From fairly used to scraps, to frame to old models that were never used, just gathering snow in some people's old garages.
