Health / Re: Passenger Dies Inside Bus In Kwara by Focusmind: 8:52am
Road safety officials work is now to be confirming accidents and casualty figures. They have abandoned their core duty of high way patrol and enforcement and seizure of articulated vehicles on federal highways. They are everywhere in the inner city centers, harassing motorists going about their normal business. Imagine if the FRSC within that axis was on a regular patrol, they would have picked up the victim, apply CPR/FIRST AID, and take him to the nearest hospital. They only appear when the damage has been done, to evacuate bodies in their pickup vehicle. FRSC should go back to the law that established them under IBB. Their job is on the federal high ways not on the hidden corners of inner streets in various cities in Nigeria.

Crime / Re: Abusive Husband Killed Wife With Skateboard by Focusmind: 5:17pm On Apr 25
Unmet needs is driving lots of Nigerian professionals, crazy abroad. My town union keeps hearing about marital brawl between some of our town's couples abroad, bordering on infidelity, finances, disrespect and bills sharing. Some men that were previously doing well in Nigeria have struggled to land descent jobs abroad, while their wives that used to be respectful before has now become the "tormentor- in -chief" to the man. Some men have also become jealous because of their wife's perceived success. If you are not emotionally and mentally strong, japa is not for you

Something must be wrong with this country. Things that other African countries easily pulls through will be a rocket science when it gets to Nigeria's turn. One minister that said that generating electricity is not a rocket science, left the electricity worse than it met it as a minister. What is wrong with our country, bayi?

I will never understand how this rape thing works because how can a man be having erection inside violence?

How will the penis gain erection during struggle and force needed to carry out rape.

Lastly I don't think I can be raped kos there'll never be that moment I'll open my legs, I will just be shouting, fighting, biting, rolling and turning everywhere so how will he now enter?

But is it that the contractors that did these jobs do not know what landscaping is or what? I don't know why government contractors do this kind of thing. They will finish a construction and the site will be littered with abandoned building materials, left overs and no attempt at landscaping, either green grassing or interlocking or normal German floor.
Foreign Affairs / Re: US Senate Passes $95.3b Package For Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan And Indo-pacific by Focusmind: 10:40am On Apr 24
See money, bikonu! Money that can reduce worldwide poverty by a decent level. Is it because they can print dollars? Russia will still destroy most of the arms and the remaining will be looted by the corrupt Kiev regime and the cycle goes on. Where are the so called " Leopard " tanks requested by Ukraine from Germany, which hundreds of them were sent for the Ukrainian counter offensive? 90% of the Leopard tanks have been put out of action by Russian anti tank and supersonic drone attacks. Ukraine should simply negotiate with Russia and ask America and EU for money to reconstruct Ukrainian infrastructure. Ukraine can never defeat Russia , militarily. Who is giving them this hope? The war mongers in both Brussels and Washington or what?

On the funny side, US is giving Ukraine $61bn while UK is providing a meagre £500m. grin. US na your mate? UK and frugality be like 5&6

Business / Re: Buhari, Tinubu Took Nigeria’s Economy 18 Steps Backward In 9 Years - FIJ by Focusmind: 10:26am On Apr 24
Buharis aloofness is legendary. Nothing matters to him except himself. Even his wife and to some extent, his kids did not matter to him. His non challant attitude to issues will make you to question his sanity and commitment to Nigeria's economic growth. Thank God, President Tinubu, despite his perceived short comings, is totally different from Buhari in approaching things. At least, he is communicating his economic policies and his team are engaging Nigerians. He is always swift once there is a public outcry on issues and he has never failed to own up to any mistakes since he came to power. But for Buhari, I have not seen such a leader! Senator Shehu Sani may have a name for Buhari but I can't seem to see any in my dictionary.

I just checked to see who is the minister of education and the commissioner for education in FCT and found out that you are right. Till thy kingdom come, they may not issue any statement regarding the issue. Since Wike came on board as FCT Minister , I started wondering what Buhari's FCT Minister did for 8 years. Some people are just too docile. That former FCT minister is one. Typical of Buhari kind of person.

If he doesn't grab the opportunity, Nigerian society will make him fade away. But I have to trust his parents/guardians/teachers on that anyway.
Nigeria is a country where those who are naturally supposed to be doctors and nurses end up becoming bus conductors or at best given Agric courses or Zoology while the below average students end up becoming Medics and doctors

You are right. Nigerian system is not structured to harness the talents of her citizens. Lots of talents are utilising their talents in other countries. Our educational system should be geared towards more productivity and the system should be able to reward exceptional talents like Ositade.

Crime / Re: IG Wants NSCDC, FRSC Merged With Police by Focusmind: 8:20am On Apr 23
Even Road safety people are now becoming a nuisance. People that should be patrolling the federal high ways to rescue accidents victims, will be somewhere, hidden in an inner city, stopping private vehicles for one stupid papers. They are just becoming annoying. People will be on their way to work, you will be stopping their cars and be searching for rubbish. I was happy when El Rufai and Ambode banished them from the city and States Roads. They are now back everywhere in Lagos, disturbing motorists. They should be on the high way, rescuing people and inspecting public transportation vehicles.

Crime / Re: Five Children Die In Abandoned Car In Niger by Focusmind: 8:12am On Apr 23
The carelessness of some parents in Nigeria, especially those at the bottom of the pyramid will want you to beat some of them. Poverty doesn't take away common sense. These people could be too careless and dumb. One was selling something in the market and her kids were just everywhere, roaming around without control. Keke almost killed one. Don't just leave your kids to the streets because you are hustling. Who asked you to bring them before? You should have continued with your hustle and allow them to be were they were. Some people have bastardized parenting in this country because they are poor. If you can't train your children properly, don't bother procreating. It is not a competition. Don't born and expect someone to train them for you. If you are poor , just face your Poverty alone. Don't bring children to follow you in your Poverty. We already have lots of idiots and armed robbers, who were from poor and broken homes.

This is a genius! His intelligence is inborn. Not necessarily about his secondary school. Though the school may have tried. The sad truth is, at the end, the Western world will benefit from the intelligence of this Nigerian more than Nigeria itself. That's the sad reality of the Nigerian State. Definitely, he is going to either Harvard or Brown University for the computational physics, which has no bearing with Nigeria, as our economy is not structured to accommodate that kind of skill.

Except when jaz or unreasonable trust is involved one should not transact some sum of money without due diligence. Even for sum not more that 500k. Aboki will meet me at the bank. I remember when I needed a friend's black card to shop from China & I had to fund it, I told my pal, meet the Aboki at the bank both of you should be at the counter when he's handling the $, then do the transfer. As far back as at late 90's i write currency number down when going to some shops to sell. The moment we know that most people are crook the better. I guess I have trust issues.

Politics / Re: Nigeria To Become Africa’s Fourth Largest Economy In 2024 – IMF by Focusmind: 3:03pm On Apr 22
Even when Nigeria was the largest, it was not felt, talk more when it is now projected to be 4th

The current positions of countries seemed more like it. I always considered SA as the biggest economy in Africa, irrespective of the basis of classification of the ranking. You cannot be the biggest economy in Africa and have greater percentage of your population living in abject poverty without access to power, water, sanitation and basic necessities of life.

Lots of people have been defrauded by BDCs.

Do NOT just transfer huge sums to them. They should bring the money physically with you to the bank. As you are crediting him with NGN, he is paying the USD to the cashier at the counter, to count and take out any counterfeit or mutilated USD or even any note with mark on it.

I dont know why people transfers huge millions to BDC person and wait for him to credit their dom accounts. What if the BDC guy absconds?

Most Nigerian hospital do not understand what emergency is. Pray not to be rushed to hospital in Nigeria

Lastly, do not argue with a Nigerian law enforcement officer with a gun. Just humble yourself and sort yourself out and move on.

Once this guy is buried, live goes on with the Nigerian police force as if nothing happened. Highest, they will remand the killer in custody till thy kingdom come.

Not getting sprayed during occasions will affect their revenue. People always likes to spray instead of giving envelope. People doing one events or the other will be getting reduced revenue as those that didn't spray may not even bother to drop envelope.

I can't not come and run mad in Lagos.

5:00am eyes don open, 600am you don road

5:00-6:00pm you close from work, 7:00pm-8:00pm inside bus you eyes dey blink, 10:00pm you finally reach house dey think of wetin you go chop.

Before you finally eat 11:00pm don nak.
12:00-1:00pm sleep don come,, you finally sleep by 1:00am.

4am you don wake again again. Hell no, I collected the salary and call it quit.

I had to quit this kind of madness, 10 years ago. It was a great company, with great pay. A well known investment bank. Saved as much as I could, invested much of my savings into getting my place. After working, with good savings, I set up my own independent consulting firm in the same job functions I was handling. The money may not be flowing as it was coming as a regular staff, but my quality of life is top notch. The little fees I am earning from my consulting is paying my bills and I work at my own pace from my house. At this my level, being a billionaire is not my dream, but being able to earn a descent income and be in a good shape of health. My former colleague that remained have all risen to their respective levels and some have continued to support my consulting business with referrals. Status wise, i don't see much difference between me and them. Some of them have also japaed and are in various places around the world. I can't compromise quality of life, freedom and attention to my family on anything. It is early sunday morning now and I am heading to my usual road workout with friends, to be back by 9:40a.m and take my kids to children's Sunday Mass by 10am

We are expected to be in the era of using tanks, equipped with high calibre munitions and communication gadgets going by annual security budgets.

She must have told the bank that the signatory to the account was in a vegetative state and the bank insisted that the account owner must be the one to sign off. Banks can tell you to go and bring a relative in the hospital or under a stroke to sign a document. I don't think he was dead. He may be seriously ill and vegetative.
