Lack of Marine Schools A country that almost half of its States has a channel connecting to the high sea can not boast of one international recognised Maritime institution.
To mention the few in the country,


Maritime academy of nigeria oron akwa ibom (federal)
Oceanography (private) Lagos state
Joe Marine (private) delta state
Charkins maritime (private) port harcourt.

Maritime academy is a very old institution but still operates in the shadows, it's over populated and under funded, lacks advanced simulators, outdated solas equipment, which every marine institution should have, lecturers are outdated.
Why outdated? In the maritime world, things change every day, new laws are made, new techniques introduced, advanced technologies are adopted etc but lecturers still teaches what is not needed, and you end up wasting your money and time.
JOE MARINE in terms of teaching remains the best in Nigeria closely followed by Charkins maritime but all that is for the elementary stages of your career because as you progress, you will need to leave the Shores of Nigeria to get better certificates.

Hi Eidosky. yu are a mariner too? yu said yu gona get back to me concerning my lg gflex screen that is faulty, on your thread about about how you got your g 3 screen replaced. pls kindly get back to through my number 0803840823, hope to hear from soonest. I'm also a mariner.

Eidosky:

sorry for that sir, I forgot to update the thread since the screen I bought somehow got missing in transit. So I ended up using 15k to fix it at Garrison. The number u provided is not complete

Heartibaby:
What about Stars Maritime academy lagos. U didnt mention it in ur post

Etizz:


If not for Google I won't have known dat a thread like dis exist....
Furthermore, OP u are a God sent, I would love to ask u some questions,....
Firstly, I am just like d guy u make example with, I have all my papers, (like mandatory, EDH, medical, discharge booklet with 18months seagoing record n stamp, ISPS, yellow card, international passport and COC on deck) now am ready for a job now, but I have not gotten d experience, can't I cope on board the vessel? Can't I learn n follow up to be well experience? Must I be experienced to work on board?
Though am a graduate in Electrical engineering, I decided to switch to marine to not to put head in one basket, so u mean It's not adviceable to go into marine this way
Pls I need everyone to learn from my question dats why I did not ask for private mailing, so I look forward hearing from u....
U can quote me pls.... Thanks

Eidosky:
sorry for the late response. I was offshore and couldn't come on here to update. The issue is, your fake stamp already portrays you as experienced cos 18 months on-board is enough to have verse knowledge about the ship. Even if you are to go on board, you will be expected to tackle some task without supervision like rigging a pilot ladder or chipping and painting, operating the winch and windlass, lowering the gangway, etc which is one of the things u learn in ur early stages. Am afraid to tell you that you are not ready for a job but to learn. So if you are looking for a job which you can get with your record, you will struggle with alot of things but if u are a fast learner, you can meet up.

Etizz:


God bless u, but that stamp is not fake, it's duly endorsed by a registered shipping master, the fake Herr should be the seaterm I guess,....

Furthermore, i can cope and catch up very easily, Beside I have the videos of all u just mentioned, putting it in practice should not be a problem to me,

Finally, how can I get a reliable and trust worthy agent or link towards having a job, I really need one...

Is there a way I can reach u apart from nairaland...?

Thanks a million.....

Am also a mariner and altho I dint want to comment on this thread, I must let u know that all the stamps u have on your db is fake!!! Either it is endorsed or not. U can only get a true record of sea service when u work onboard a ship...a question to u is: Can d master of the self acclaimed ship say u ever served under him? Did u have a cadet logbook stall? Was it filled? Cos what many people dunno is there is a cadet logbook also filled alongside your db...there are tons of tasks in it that should have bn completed. If u did serve on any vessel u wont have any issue atall with getting a Job cos the officers onboard your ship during your cadetship will teach u how to gk about things. Nigeria is swimming in corruption n its sickening.... Anyway, as regards the crewing agency, u can try Gac marine... N pls where did u get ur coc from Am suprised u passed it without practical experience... Cheers.

Etizz:


Thank u so so much for the enlightenment...

COC is not what anyone get from d gutter, I am a graduate in Electrical Engineering, I have gone through formal education, therefore, I am not really dat dumb not to pass the interview/exam, in otherwords, I collect various questions and answers asked for the past few years, and compiled all of them, I do go for tutorial classes on how to answer all the questions.... Sir, I will say it again, I can cope with any situation or operation on board any vessel,......

Seriously, if you can link me up I will be so grateful..... I really need a job, if not for the situation of the country, after being a graduate, I don't think I will swerve to marine.


Once again, thank you very much Sir.....
