How Some Nigerian Sailors Celebrated The 55th Independence At Sea

Hi everyone,
Even though I just got registered here, I've been following nairaland for a while now and it has always been fun here. From the posts to the comments, there has always been a reason to keep coming back for more. smiley

Sailors have one of the most demanding jobs in the world. From the normal man's view, we're seen as 'fun-catchers' who get to tour the world, travel to various countries and meet many people. Well, that's true but that's not all the story involved. How about the not-so-good part of the job? Oh trust me, there's a whole list of points on that side of the table ranging from poor communication with families/friends/loved ones, to missing out on important events/occasions, to jumping between time zones which could mess u up if not well planned for, to oddity in rest hours due to time difference and a whole lot more. But we're not complaining though. We signed up for it. grin

Amidst all these things mentioned, sailors still make out time to stay in sync with the happenings of d world around them i.e. observing/mimicking celebrations and events in the best way they can.
Here are some Nigerians on an international going ship with 4 nationalities on-board. They chose to celebrate the day in style as loyalists to their country

Enjoy.!x

Did I mention that sailors happen to be the best spouses too? cheesy

  The Premier League is flush with cash thanks to TV deals but, as Arsene Wenger and Antonio Conte have pointed out, its teams are paying huge sums of money for average players. In May 2014, Antonio Conte dismissed Juventus' chances of replicating its domestic success in continental competition, claiming that the Italian champions were not on the same financial footing as Europe's elite. "You cannot go to a 100 euro restaurant with just 10 euros in your pocket," he sniped. Less than two months later, he parted company with the Old Lady by "mutual consent," having been left frustrated by his employers' transfer strategy. Two years on, Conte is now back in the club game after a successful spell in charge of Italy and is working for a team bankrolled by Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich. But the former Bianconeri boss has quickly discovered that more money sometimes means more problems. Conte has been backed in the transfer market, w
