The President of All Nations Institute of Marine and Technology (ANIMT), Chief Emmanuel Ighomena, has explained why the school was established in Oghara, headquarters of Ethiope-West Local Government Area (LGA) of Delta State.

Speaking during the first matriculation ceremony of the pioneer cadets of the institution, Ighomena, a former Commissioner in Delta State, revealed that Oghara was picked because of its strategic location as a town bounded by three rivers.

“Oghara is bounded by Osiomo River at Ologbo end of Edo State, Jameison River at Mosogar and Ethiope River at Sapele end of Delta State,” he said.

“The inhabitants of Oghara are predominantly traders, farmers and fishermen. Believed to be the deepest inland waterway in Africa, the Ethiope river, which originated from the trunk of a giant silk-cotton tree at Umuaja in Ukwani LGA of Delta State, transverse various communities as stream, becoming wider and deeper as it courses to Sapele through Abraka.

“At Oghara, it has become cavernous enough to harbor ocean-going vessels, which over the years, have resulted in a high level of maritime activities in the area.”

Ighomena continued: “Regrettably, in spite of the presence of these maritime companies on the bank of the river, with high traffic of vessels, a good proportion of the youths of the area and other Niger Delta communities, do not possess the needed skills required of them to get employed by those companies and also onboard their vessels.

“All Nations IMT have been established to address the aforementioned problems and bridge the gap that has been created, with a vision to be a centre of excellence for the training of Master Mariners, seamen and technology of great repute for Nigeria and the globe.”

According to him, ANIMT, which was first thought in 2016, was approved by the Federal Ministry of Education in September 2021, after accreditation by the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) in same year, with a mandate to commence the 2021/2022 academic session without delay, in Maritime Transportation and Business studies, Nautical Science and Computer Science.

“We have students from different parts of the country, including Kano, Jigawa, Sokoto, Enugu, Bayelsa, Lagos, Edo and Delta states. Our vision is to be a centre of excellence for the training of Master Mariners, seamen and technologist for the maritime industry in Nigeria and across the globe.

“We have to equip graduates with the knowledge, critical thinking, problem solving, ethnical decision making and confidence that would enable them safely and to effectively operate, maintain, and manage the ships of today and the maritime industry of tomorrow.

“Our current training programmes include nautical science to train students on how to navigate a ship in the sea or ocean. The past six years have seen us through massive investment in the areas of building construction, furnishing, equipment procurement and installation, staff recruitment and training and hosting of NBTE team, among others,” he stated.

KNOW YOUR BODY PARTS: The Liver The liver is a vital organ located in the right upper abdomen, playing a crucial role in metabolism, detoxification, and digestion. It’s the largest solid organ in the body and is responsible for filtering blood, maintaining blood sugar levels, regulating clotting, and synthesizing essential proteins. The liver also stores energy, removes toxins, and produces bile, which aids in digestion Liver functions: · Metabolism and Detoxification: The liver processes nutrients from the blood, breaks down and balances them, and creates essential substances for the body. It detoxifies harmful substances like drugs and alcohol, converting them into less toxic forms for excretion. The liver plays a role in the metabolism of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. It stores glycogen (a form of glucose) and vitamins, releasing them when the body needs them. · Digestion: The liver produces bile, which is stored in the gallbladder and released into the small intestine to help digest fats. Bile also helps in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. · Blood Regulation: The liver regulates blood sugar levels by storing and releasing glucose. It synthesizes clotting factors, which are essential for blood clotting. It removes old red blood cells and processes bilirubin, a byproduct of red blood cell breakdown. · Other Functions: The liver plays a role in immunity, helping to fight off infections. It produces proteins that are involved in the immune response. The liver also stores iron and other essential minerals. Frequently Asked Questions About The Liver · What are the first signs of a bad liver? The initial signs of liver problems can be vague and subtle, often including fatigue, nausea, and loss of appetite. As the liver’s condition worsens, more specific symptoms may emerge, such as jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), itchy skin, dark urine, and light-colored stools. Abdominal pain, especially in the upper right quadrant, can also indicate liver issues. · Where do you feel liver pain? Liver pain is typically felt in the upper right abdomen, just beneath the rib cage. It can manifest as a dull, throbbing pain, a stabbing sensation, or a general feeling of discomfort in that area. In some cases, liver pain might be felt as an ache in the right shoulder or back. · What does liver pain feel like? How liver pain feels can vary from person to person, depending on the cause. However, most people often develop one or more of the following symptoms: Dull, persistent aches in the upper abdomen A feeling of fullness or bloating Sharp, stabbing pains that come and go Tenderness when the upper abdomen is touched · What is the best way to cleanse your liver? If you haven’t been working out, start indulging in a regular exercise regime to allow the toxins to come out of your body. Yoga, going running, hitting the gym, or a simple sauna session can also prove effective. If you want a natural liver cleanse, sweating is the way to go. · How to know if the liver is swollen? What are the symptoms of an enlarged liver? You likely won’t notice an enlarged liver on your own. In some severe cases, you might notice a feeling of bloating or fullness in your belly or an ache in your upper right abdomen. · What is the best drink to flush your liver? Many citrus fruits, including lemon, can be added to water to help stimulate and flush out the liver. Lemons are high in nutrients like vitamin C and antioxidants
