As usual, I believe some people have cleaned their camera lenses, eagerly waiting to capture images of the moon tonight and perhaps begin their usual remarks about this moon not being a first crescent. Unfortunately, I have bad news: the crescent will still not be visible to the naked eye this evening in Nigeria bi izinillah . This is because the moon's age will be just over 16 hours, and a crescent is typically easily visible with the naked eye when it reaches 18 hours or more. Additionally, the moon’s illumination will be less than 0.5%. Even in Niger Republic and Mali, where sightings of the crescent were claimed yesterday, it will not be visible today.
The crescent should be easily visible to the naked eye tomorrow, Friday, In shaa Allah because it will be about 40hrs old by sunset in Nigeria .
Allah has made it possible for us to understand the movements of the sun and moon, as evidenced by many verses in the Quran. Allah stated in the Quran: Surah Ar-Rahman (55:5) states: "The sun and the moon move along their computed courses" (or follow a precise calculation). This verse highlights the perfect, ordained, and punctual motion of the celestial bodies as a sign of Allah’s mercy, power, and precise design in the universe, emphasizing order, consistency, and divine regulation.
Allahu a’alaam!!!
🚨 NIGERIA, YOUR SEAFARERS ARE DROWNING ON SHORE – NOT AT SEA 🚨
We left the ocean to study, not to become stranded castaways in Oron.
7 months away from work. Away from family. Living on “hope” as our daily meal.
Classes ended 27th June. It’s August.
No exam date. No pay. No plan.
NIMASA can chart a ship’s route across the Atlantic but can’t navigate an exam timetable.
Our letters of eligibility? Expired.
Gate passes? Expired.
Patience? Also expired.
Class I & II students have overtaken us while we squat in the academy like refugees.
We burn candles to study, now we burn energy just to survive.
The academy has turned into a waiting room where dreams go to die.
Maritime is “key to the economy” — yet seafarers are treated like disposable cargo.
We came to upgrade our skills, not downgrade our mental health.
Depression is now part of the syllabus.
If you delay a ship, you pay demurrage. Who pays for delaying a man’s life?
Federal Government , if you can’t run maritime, at least don’t sink it.
NIMASA ; stop treating us like lost cargo. Set the COC exam date NOW.

@Lifeatsea_ I would accept a position as supernumerary master, on master’s terms and conditions. The supernumerary time on board would be spent working with the Chief Officer to complete his/her LNG systems familiarisation. This is the normal in responsible and reputable shipping companies.
