Nigerian institute of oceanography and marine research.
Howdy readizens. I have been really busy this days. I barely even have time for myself. My plan to write atleast an article as been broken due to the phase 2 of my IT. I have really missed my friends the likes of @BCH_LOVER , @Talon , @Aimure , @Kushyzee , @Bilqees , and you, yeah You! Love you all.
The second phase of my IT started on Monday. We traveled down to Lagos on Monday and made mention of it in the article I wrote that day which is the choices we made. I was supposed to continue it today but I can't write now. That will be tomorrow by God's grace.
Back to my IT program. We arrived at Lagos on Monday and our first lecture was supposed to be yesterday which was supposed to hold at NIOMR headquarters, but couldn't due to transport problem. So we had our lecture at the other branch. It was a bit interesting as I saw some few new things. The one that interest me the most was that of a project we were told a woman was working on involving Chrysichthys nigrodigitatus (i can't talk much on that now because the research as not been completed yet.).
We were given a tour round the station and I can say I am a bit impressed with what I saw. This morning, we left for the headquarters. While we were coming to Lagos most of us we actually disappointed because we didn't see what we have all heard of Lagos. But passing going to Victoria island (VI), It kind of fulfilled our expectations. Lagos is truly a nice and beautiful place to live in. I also got to witness the popular Lagos traffic jam. The buildings were well arranged and beautifully built.
Reaching NIOMR headquarters, we were welcomed by our coordinator and were later directed to receive our first lecture there. To be really honest, it lived up to my expectations, or even beyond. Nigeria is truly blessed but we need God fearing leaders and good citizens to help actualise the goal of making Nigeria the true giant of African.
Our first lecture was held in the fish technology department. Our anchor was DR. Femi, a very intelligent, funny and highly innovative Christian. I really enjoyed his class. He kinda open my eyes to see the vast opportunities in fisheries. Believe me there is nothing as good as meeting one who can challenge you to do better!
In fish tech department, we were shown some machines such as: the canning machines, pre-cooking machine, showering machines, oven,etc. He narrated us some amazing adventures and projects he had embarked upon and they were indeed wonderful.
The next lecture we had was with the fish nutrition department. The man was a little bit funny but with a firm personality. That man made me stood up and almost walked out of the class two to three times. The lecture there was not quite long. We will continue the lectures tomorrow.
When it was time to go back home, we called our driver to come pick us up only for him to tell us his bus is faulty hence he won't be able to come pick us up. That was around 2 Pm. We had to trek down to law school to go get another bus to take us home. It took about 40 mins or so to walk there and also get another bus. We fimally got home around 6:40pm.
Getting home, I was extremely tired. Thank God for my roommate, he had bought some fufu. I had to eat that and as I am now I am still very tired. Anyways, I give God the glory for the success of today's lecture. I pray tomorrow's journey will be smooth and stress free.
