His killers may be there, as part of the mourners. Fear who no fear NURTW, especially, the Lagos chapter
SportsRe: Argentina Players And Crew Turn Back On Spain During Cup Presentation (Photos) by Focusmind: 12:05pm On Jul 21
OP did not watch the match

It was during the acknowledgment of fans and spectators that they turned their back

Problem of a single story and lots of people, with hate, bought into the OPs stupidity. undecided
SportsRe: Italy FA Awaits Guardiola's Response For Vacant National Team Job by Focusmind: 11:24am On Jul 21
Everybody and team is now wanting the "tiki-taka" style of football

Football made in Spain

Pep will definitely decline the offer

There are lots of mafias within the Italian FA and the entire Italian system capable of frustrating Pep

Pep is more productive if he is given free right and hand to do whatever he wants

Italy may not provide him with that kind of opportunity

His best bet of a national team couch would be that of England, after Tuchel would have been booted out after the Euro 2028

Currently, no vacancy within the Spanish FA - Lots of qualified people are there, waiting to fill up

Steimer and Burnham look alike, same eye wear; same shape of head
SportsRe: Argentina Is The First World Cup Finalist Without A Shot On Target In 90 Mins by Focusmind: 9:57am On Jul 20
Spain/England finals would have been far more entertaining.

Tuchel messed up in the semi-finals.

He should have continued pressing forward, even after England had scored

That would have put Argentina under intense pressure.

But no, he deployed the Mourinho strategy of defending, putting the entire English squad under pressure.

A consistent attack from the English forwards would have sealed the match for England.
TravelRe: Nigeria Ends Repatriation Of Citizens From South Africa by Focusmind: 7:17am On Jul 19
More than doubled that number are still living in SA. Some Nigerians wouldn't want to come back. Some are in hiding and some them that temporary returned to Nigeria this time will go back when the dust settles.
PoliticsRe: FG Renames Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway After Tinubu by Focusmind: 11:10am On Jul 17
If every federal structure should be named after the head of state that built, most edifices in Lagos would be bearing General Yakubu Gowon or Ibrahim Babangidi, because they built most of the legacy structures in the former federal capital
Foreign AffairsRe: Iran's Marine Traffic Control Tower Totally Destroyed By US Strikes (Photos) by Focusmind: 10:10am On Jul 17
See people that got the best of deal, yet, did not want to calm down

That deal would have provided Iran with best foundation to launch itself as an economic power

No, they want to show might

Kudos to them, anyway. They had withstood barrage of sanctions in the past but I doubt if they would be able to cope with military assaults targeting civilian infrastructure.
CrimeRe: Loveth Ifesinachi Okafor: POS Operator Raped & Murdered In Lagos by Focusmind: 9:33am On Jul 17
Young ladies running POS businesses are becoming endangered

Some are secondary school dropouts who could not further their education because of funding

Some of these POS operators should stop these young street urchins from hanging round their shops, or business areas, gisting and being too friendly

Once you see a pretty POS operator, you will see some young men, always loitering around, forming friendliness and at the same time, very jobless.

This seems to be a come thing within my hood. Swarms of jobless boys sitting ideally in a POS place of a young lady.
EducationRe: Lagos Releases 2026/2027 Academic Calendar For Public & Private Schools by Focusmind: 9:15am On Jul 17
One of the best thing from LASG on education in Lagos state

There should be a uniform calendar for all schools to enable parents plan well

Not the situation where some private schools have their own resumption, mid-term break and end of session while some are still on school period

I have noticed that whenever all schools in Lagos in my area are on holidays, traffic on the road drops by at least 60% in the morning and after noon, lending credence to the fact that school runs creates traffic on the road and put more pressure on traffic.
CrimeRe: Video Of Favour Narrating How Odogwu Asaba Raped Her Before Committing Suicide by Focusmind: 12:52pm On Jul 16
I just could not hold myself after watching the video on Facebook

Parents, please, get closer to your children

Don't be too strict, hard and unapproachable

I had to call my children, to reassure them and told them to feel free to discuss anything with me

Share your worries, concerns and troubles.

Don't be afraid to tell me your pains or what you are going through.

Don't be afraid of me or afraid of my reactions to certain thing, I will not kill you

I will always be there for you

The girl must have been scared to the marrow not to share her full ordeal and received the necessary care and attention from the parents and loved ones.

Sometimes, these Gen Zs could be emotionally weak and unable to decipher what they did or they are about to do
PoliticsRe: Court Orders Final Forfeiture Of Malami's 48 Properties by Focusmind: 9:49am On Jul 16
Buhari presided over one of the most corrupt set of people, ever seen.

The worst of it all was that he never knew what was going on within his cabinet

Massive looting by all his ministers and he kept mute.

Being a loyal citizen in this country is difficult, especially. when you see what your government are doing with public funds

This is why asking the citizens to have patience and make sacrifices would always fall on deaf ears.

If you attack the government, the foot soldiers will come after you.

For some, Buhari presided over a corruption-free government, better than Jonathan, and he could do no wrong. Yet, the country bled throughout his regime.

He should rot in jail and then in hell.

Parents, please warn your children, monitor their activities, and don't let the chase for online content become more important than their safety or values.

Not everything needs to become content for clicks and attention. Encourage your children to use their minds to build real skills and pursue meaningful goals.

Parents can and should do better.

This is the tragic cost of reckless content creation. An innocent child has paid the price.
Which parents are you talking about? Parents that are struggling to eke out a living. Some parents have abandoned their parenting roles on the altar of economic pursuit. You wont blame them as the economy is biting so hard

I know one secondary school girl that both parents are petty food stuff vendors, yet she does not want to live within the means of her parents. I have been seeing her in certain areas and I guess her preoccupation is money.

Most Gen Zs are becoming internet freaks, tik-tok and social media addicts.

The 18 year old that lives with me cannot get her hands off the phone, even when I have disconnected the internet but I just have to keep the phone with her reach for urgent calls and if I want to reach them when I am out of the house

Same with my daughter, give them internet to research about their home work. After that, it would be about making videos and attempting to go on social media. The consequences are always dire in my house once you misbehave on the use of internet.

Christianity EtcRe: Rev. Benjamin Okwy Madu Dies By Suicide After Being Ordered To Leave The US by Focusmind: 12:48pm On Jul 15
That was extreme!!

An ordained catholic priest for that matter?

There are lots of catholic priests within the Abakiliki archdioceses, going about, doing the Lord's work

I hope it is not because he has tasted life in US and the prospect of returning back to Nigeria was too difficult to handle.

Lots of priests do not willingly wants to come back to Nigeria after completing their apostolic work overseas, especially in the Western country.

They should know that their local archdioceses has the final say on where priests should be posted and how long.

That was too low from the former Spanish PM.

Spain has people of color that are Spanish, whether in sports or not

Most of these leftist politicians, globalists and EU politicians are coded racists
Jobs/VacanciesRe: Saipem Offshore Vacancies by Focusmind:
emoneyrano:
Does baker pay well like 1m plus
They pay well and it is a good place to start in the oil and gas

Baker is a multinational and working with them will expose you to lots of international operations in the oil and gas

It gives you the leverage to switch to the IOCs if opportunity presents itself.

Building capacity and capabilities should be of utmost importance when you are coming up and not necessarily the pay.

Once you develop the right competence, you would be able to compete for the "BIG" tickets jobs with "BIG" pay.

This is how it works in the corporate world.

Corporate growth is a MARATHON and not a SPRINT journey.
Jobs/VacanciesRe: Saipem Offshore Vacancies by Focusmind: 1:51pm On Jul 14
If you are a graduate with minimum of 2.1, go ahead and apply. It is an extremely competitive place to enter, with series of aptitude tests and interviews.

Don't listen to those with negative opinion. Saipen is a well-know engineering and contracting firm in the midstream segment of the oil and gas.

They are in the same league as Halliburton, Schlumberger, Weatherford and Baker Hughes.

Some African leaders may listen to Trump on this for obvious reason but I doubt if the EU member states would toe that path.

MTN's impact on the Nigeria's economy is far higher than some of the Nigerian owned entities. These ones are looking for attention
PoliticsRe: The End Of "I Pass My Neighbour"? Lagos' New Electricity Power Plants by Focusmind: 5:06pm On Jul 10
Those in VI, IKOYI and EKO ATLANTIC do not use " I better pass my neighbour" generator. Great idea from LASG but only few businesses within the aforementioned areas would benefit at a cost reflective tariff rates. Until a family in mushine, ojo, bariga or isolo is able to have uninterrupted power supply from the grid, the demon bedevelling the Nigeria's electricity sector will continue to torment the nation. I have given up hope on any illusion of having an uninterrupted power supply in Nigeria.

Wow! Interesting.

Eddy Onwumelu, another industrialist of their time, have all his children abroad and the his businesses died with him. Oliver Ilozue, with gigantic industries in Nnewi had no successor to his vast business empire
BusinessRe: Nigergrob Ceramics Ogun:What I Found In An Abandoned Factory Established In 1974 by Focusmind: 5:48pm On Jul 09
Nigeria's industrial revolution happened in the 70s and early 80s.

Come to Anambra, especially Onitsha and its surroundings and see relics of massive production industries set up by entrepreneurial People's club members after the civil war. The industries have all collapsed. I wept when I saw the relics of the Olympics company at Abagana when I went for a burial function. The Olympic drinks was founded by Sir Joe Ozoemene Nwankwu, a founding member of People's club of Nigeria. I remember the fond memories of the Olympic Gina, one of the most sought after products of the company

Money could easily come to you once you are well positioned, something you can't see abroad.

I must follow benefit from the " benevolence " of the Nigerian State in dishing out humongous benefit to those willing and ready to sing its praises.

Foreign AffairsRe: June 30: SA Politician's Nigerian Husband Arrested For Harbouring 28 Migrants by Focusmind: 7:34pm On Jun 30
Justice505:
What is the need of proving stubborn, some body ask you to leave his country you are hide are you a bastard? .
You may not understand!

It is always difficult to leave a place you are used to and where you are making a living

The thought of coming home to nothing and hopelessness could be too depressing for many Nigerians abroad.

Some that came back never found their footings, considering the bad economic situation.

Most Nigerians would prefer to be in Italy or South Africa, selling things on the street and at the same time, living in a decent accommodation, with access to most basic amenities.

Nigeria's environment could be unnerving and depressing for anyone that have lived in a developed environment, even if it was lived at the fringes of survival.
PoliticsRe: Nigeria Ranked World’s Most Generous Country by Focusmind: 10:00am On Jun 29
This may be true - In Europe and the West, apart from well known charities, foundations and rich men, the general populations are not that generous.

But here in Nigeria, you will see a plumber that is struggling still supporting his siblings, relatives and some neighbors with some hand outs.

Even me here, the begging from some folks within the neighborhood, church, streets would always make you to be compassionate and give once in a while. You cant see that kind of thing in the West. You will be asked to go and work or seek for government assistance. Nobody would give you a penny.
