Maybe one of the quiet secrets behind my academic excellence has always been my father’s prayers. From the very beginning of my academic journey, I was never far from the top-always in the top 3, always with distinction.

During my undergraduate years at FUTA, where I eventually graduated with a First Class, my dad formed a ritual that lasted 5 solid years. Every morning by 6 am, my phone would ring. On the few days I was too exhausted to pick up, he still found a way to reach me. Prayer has persistence. 😊
Back then, FUTA sent results home automatically. The moment my dad received them, a familiar alert followed—₦5,000 sent straight to me. Mind you, my weekly allowance was ₦5,000 on Monday and ₦5,000 on Friday. Results day felt like bonus season.

During my NYSC year at FUOYE, the routine continued, daily calls, daily prayers and yes,it was worth it. The only time he couldn’t reach me was during military training. That place was a different world entirely; only God had network there. 😄 But even during my Police course in Makurdi, the calls never stopped, and I still graduated with distinction. Then came the compulsory one-year Marine Engineering course in Sapele. Every single day, my dad called. The result? Distinction again and best student in Marine Engineering.

During my staff course at the Armed Forces Command and Staff College, Jaji, the pattern held. Morning calls before I rushed to the syndicate room. I finished with a C+, the highest achievable score (that one na problem place). Postgraduate studies at UNIPORT? Same prayers, same calls, same outcome—Distinction.

Till today, the calls have not stopped. And I am getting older now o. 😄Never joke with the prayers of an elder. And let me add this, while my dad was praying on the phone, my mum was always in the background, backing it up with her own prayers.

They are both retired teachers, and I am the last child. By God’s grace, I will do the same for my children. Because some blessings don’t come from textbooks alone, they come from knees bent in prayer and love that never gets tired.

@Hon_aremo Hmmmm. This your statistics is not serious o.Even your Officers' Rank Structure get K-leg.

@gafar_raji See your salary

[α∂єуιηкα ƒαgвємιgυη @Adeyinkaokeowo]

So, na my salary be this?

Sometimes, when you see certain hot takes and strong opinions on X about issues you are personally involved in, you realize that not every discussion on social media should be taken seriously.

🚢 NIGERIAN NAVY: IS IT REALLY WORTH JOINING?

A lot of people see the uniform, the ships, the respect and the prestige, but very few know how the system actually works.

The Nigerian Navy is arguably one of the most strategic security agencies in Nigeria. While the Army protects land borders and the Air Force controls the skies, the Navy protects Nigeria's waters, oil installations, maritime trade routes and fights piracy.

💰 SALARY BREAKDOWN (Estimated)

Entry Level (Ordinary Seaman)
➡️ ₦50k - ₦60k/month

Able Seaman
➡️ ₦60k - ₦70k/month

Leading Seaman
➡️ ₦70k+/month

Petty Officer
➡️ ₦90k+/month

Chief Petty Officer
➡️ ₦120k+/month

Warrant Chief Petty Officer
➡️ ₦150k+/month

Commissioned Officers earn significantly more:

Sub-Lieutenant
➡️ ₦200k - ₦220k+/month

Lieutenant
➡️ ₦290k+/month

Captain
➡️ ₦450k+/month

Commodore
➡️ ₦700k+/month

Rear Admiral and above
➡️ ₦1 million - ₦2.5 million+/month depending on rank and benefits.

But here's where many people get it wrong...

The real attraction isn't just the salary.

✅ Free medical care
✅ Accommodation in many postings
✅ Pension
✅ Uniform allowance
✅ Hazard allowance
✅ Sea duty allowance
✅ Specialized training opportunities
✅ International naval exercises
✅ Strong job security

The downside?

❌ Long periods away from family
❌ Risky deployments
❌ Strict military discipline
❌ Limited freedom compared to civilian jobs

If your goal is becoming rich quickly, the Navy may disappoint you.

But if your goal is stability, prestige, national service, and a structured career path that can take you from a village in Nigeria to commanding ships worth billions of naira, then it's a solid option.

Question:

If the Nigerian Navy recruitment portal opens tomorrow and you're guaranteed admission, are you joining?

YES or NO?

@AA_Folorunsho He is famous for executing one of the fastest recorded Man Overboard recoveries in naval history, a feat he accomplished in the North Sea in 1982.

@engineaust Is the list for those that had their interviews in April? The split site is confusing.

@Soulmedika @doctrLakes Once it’s on a public timeline, it stops being a “targeted” conversation and becomes open communication. Expecting everyone else to go and “check Google” instead of taking 2 seconds to define an abbreviation doesn’t make the message smarter, it just makes the delivery lazier.

@doctrLakes @Soulmedika Ok o

[Navy Captain Abi Folorunsho @AA_Folorunsho]

Our attention has been drawn to a publication concerning the Nigerian Navy and the ongoing issue of an alleged property dispute in Rivers State. As the matter is currently before the courts, it would be inappropriate for the Nigerian Navy to make any public comments while judicial proceedings are ongoing.

We urge the public to exercise patience and avoid baseless speculation or one-sided narratives. The Nigerian Navy has full confidence in the judicial process and remains committed to cooperating with all relevant authorities towards a fair and lawful resolution of the matter.

@doctrLakes @Soulmedika Young man, so you mean some tweets are meant for a specific audience? When a tweet is posted on a timeline, it is accessible to everyone. Therefore, it is important to follow basic rules of English especially introducing abbreviations before using them. No dey stres us!
