He should have appointed someone from Edo state or Cross river.
Career › Re: Tension As Boulos Sacks 70 Workers by Focusmind: 8:15am On Dec 02, 2020
My client has concluded plan to exit 19 of his staff by December 31, 2020. He did the first retrenchment in August, laying off 22 of his staff.

After the December exit, he would have only 15 staff left, with 6 converted to consultancy position. Things are really hard and all his staff had been on 30% of their salaries. Even some of us that runs our show ourselves are struggling to sustain current clients talk more of getting new ones.

I have been thinking if going back to paid employment is an alternative as I left paid employment more than 6 years ago to establish myself but yet to surpass my former annual emolument as when I was in paid employment. The only advantage now is the freedom and ability to do things I want without hindrance.

Family › Re: The Menace Of Having Too Many Children. by Focusmind: 7:18am On Nov 29, 2020
Very good points. I have been saying this for a long time. Those without means of living shouldn't have business with giving birth.

They are causing more problems to the society by bringing kids they are not ready to train. The parents of those children should be arrested and charged for parental negligence.
Travel › Re: See How Lagosians Sleep In Buses On Their Way To Work In The Morning (PHOTOS) by Focusmind: 7:00pm On Nov 28, 2020
Thank God I left paid employment just for the sake of my sanity. Though I prefer to join staff bus because of the comfort and time to sleep to driving.

However, the thought of waking up earlier to meet up with the bus that passed through my bustop was always dreadful. Now that I am on my own, I sleep and wake at my own convenient, attend functions at my time and do other things without giving a f*k

Though the hustle never begin pay like my former salary, I live a far better fulfilling life and happier.

Haaa!!! shocked shocked
I checked the names and for the first time I am proud grin grin grin

But why would someone leave Nigeria, only to go to Canada to steal cars? Like what's the rationale behind that?

Please deport them back to their respective countries.
I feel sad when I see people ruining the reputation off their home country in a foreign land.
There are many dishonest Nigerians overseas, who shipped stolen cars to their families to sell in Nigeria and repatriate the proceed to them or use for other things in Nigeria.

Don't underestimate the level dishonest Nigerians could go and do illegal businesses abroad. They will always call it hustling. In the Nigerian parlance, de guy de abroad de hustle.

We are too backwards in this country. I fully agree that development is all about the quality of people and not just physical infrastructure. The quality of human beings inhabiting Nigeria is far below average.We behave like savages in this country. When I see how animals are being rescued overseas, I shudder in absolute disdain for my fellow country men.
Honestly, poverty have had a devastating effect on Nigerians.

Bro, E shock you also/ grin I gave my maid 500 to buy two tins of sardine make we use chop Indomie. She came back with one asking me for additional N200 for the second one . I weak. The last I bought was in October for N200. Inflation is going out of control in this country.

RuudVanNisteroy:
Nigerian leaders start looting the day they enter office. He knew his days were numbered after he took over power in a coup. He saw what was happening in neighbouring African countries were leaders were getting assasinated.

He had to save for the rainy day by keeping 50% of our money in United Kingdom and making himself the sole signatory to the accounts.
People did not know this account of history. This is the accurate account of what happened. He had kept so much of Nigeria's money in London. After his overthrow, he wanted to lay his hands on the money but the British government cornered most of the funds.

That's why I always say that the West are accomplice in corruption in Africa. Most of the funds are not returned back to the originating country.

A Nigerian should take over that position.
I would have supported you just that I have reservation about Amajo pinik. I don't trust that his mouth that is bend somehow.

As a Nigerian, he would be monitored for corruption and chances of him falling for the trap is high. I don't need anybody to shame Nigeria.

OfficialAwol:
He's making appointments when he's not sure of transition.

I understand the psychological torture they are giving Trump through announcement of these appointments.

Meanwhile ever since I discovered that Biden might not be as pro-Buhari as I hitherto imagined, I've been Less agitated.

He can now be sworn.

All hail the second Catholic President of the United States after JFK.
Is that why the two appointees are Catholics sad? just asking
Properties › Re: The Making Of The "Contemporary 6 Bedroom Duplex " In Anambra by Focusmind:
Bro, well done. Excellent design but this is not your usual kind of building designgrin

Flat/ shade roof kind of roof without pillars is unusual design for you. This is a fantastic design. Looks so contemporary.

I can't wait to see how that L-shape cantilevered shade over the balcony would look like. It is not in my original house design and I saw it somewhere and it looked beautiful. I am incorporating it on mine but not yet time.

Baba, the feeling is mutual.

I believe together we can change the narratives with enduring designs that transcend time.
We are still spectators - I will love to see the finished product when you are done. I would love to see how the work will look like.

The picture there is superb.

This country is finished. See the thinking and mentality of leaders of tomorrow sad

You now see the importance of adequate data and record. This is the reason US government, under Donald Trump banned Nigerians from immigrant visa category. We don't have record of our citizens and the stages they passed through.

See how people were shamelessly advising the OP to go to one school, obtain one and back date it. Corruption is taken as a way of life. undecided

We are all corrupt. We shout corruption and blame people for corruption when we are not a direct beneficiary.

This sounds abroad ish undecided
Na so na. The wording and terms are abraodish. If you have money and not in a haste, just kukuma build your own house and supervise yourself.

Nigerian estate developers are experts in cutting corners. One man building in my estate now has to evacuate his family from the house he bought in Lekki and rented an apartment pending when he completes his own building.

The one he bought started sinking after five years. He couldn't risk anything and just left the house with his family.

I am not a social media freak. My main social media are Linkdedin, Whatsapp and Nairaland. I visit facebook occasionally. Not on any other ones.

What does it mean to be "verified" on twitter and Instagram. They are known to use that word. I am old school o. There is no need to insult me sad

I blame the idiotic parents that gives birth to all these urchins. My people, what awaits this country in the future is damming. Street children roaming everywhere. I drove to site through badore road in Ajah and saw many street children wondering about. What do you think they will become in the future. People without means of catering for their kids should be castrated biko

Nigeria's environment is chaotic, disorganised and grotesque when you look at it from the window. We lack good environmental aesthetics in Nigeria with highly polluted environment and ubiquitous NEPA poles and telecom mast every where.

Under Obama, my visa was always granted straight without any issue.
Politics › Re: Court Orders Arrest Of Atiku Abubakar (Jr) Over Children's Custody by Focusmind: 5:43am On Nov 20, 2020
So Atiku's son works with the Nigerian customs service? After his father had worked there, he made way for his son?

Did he write the aptitude test, participated in the field events with white shorts and t-shirt and interview?

All the above were for the average job seeker who stood no chance at being taken. All the choice government establishments are filled with children of top politicians and the rich. Their children can never compete in a competitive job market despite their foreign degrees and education.

The street graduates from LAUTECH, Abraka or FUTO would always trounce them big time if recruitment were to be free and fair. But this na Naija. If you are from poor background in Nigeria, please take heart. huh

Even the so called "Ebube Muo Nso" that people hero worshipped there still failed to sympathise with one of his staff.

For Nigerian capitalists, people's life meant nothing to them. I hope that school is under the control of the diocesan Bishop of Onitsha. All these holy ghost fathers in SE are Lords on to themselves. Establishing and controlling empires without being controlled by their diocesan Bishop.

The man follow deceive us that year, 2005 for a concotted management trainee program for the brightest graduates from the Nigerian Universities and abroad.

The program was well publicised, with a Federal government backing then. They said they wanted to hire 200 best graduates across Nigeria and abroad for their graduate management program to position NICON group as a world class conglomerates. grin

All na scam. Nothing was heard after the whole show. Wealthy Nigerians and government scamming her citizens since time immemorial.
