Politics › Re: Tinubu’s Supporters Backing Peter Obi For ADC Ticket – Adeyanju by Focusmind: 6:27pm On Jan 12
Obi shouldn't over estimate himself. Obidients thinks that they are the only ones that would vote in this election. Anything aside Atiku/Obi would be a walkover for BAT
Health › Re: Couple Raise Alarm After Buying Fake Hollandia Yoghurt Drink (photos/video) by Focusmind: 6:24am On Jan 12
Always buy your drinks from trusted and well known brands. Some are faking ceeway water now. They are filling the containers in their backyard with untreated borehole water and corking them with water companies' labels like ceeway. I tasted one and knew that this water came straight from borehole and not the normal ceeway water dispenser.

Business › Re: Excited Man Flaunts Bundle Of Naira After Exchanging 800 Cedis (Photos/Video) by Focusmind: 2:34pm On Jan 10
Stupidity of the highest order. Hatest of government are busy applauding the ignorance being displayed by the skit maker. The purchasing power of that N106k in Nigeria is far higher than the purchasing power of that 800 Ghana cedis in Ghana. Ghanaian are everywhere in Nigeria, working in hotels and informal sector, sending money to their people in Ghana. Nigerian economy is far more buoyant and resilient than that of Ghana.
Celebrities › Re: "Send School Fees For Your Son" — Hellen Ati Calls Out Cubana Chief Priest by Focusmind: 10:46am On Jan 10
Even the woman resemble cubana chief priest. I am sure someone must have told her that her son looks like CP and she's doing everything to enjoy the fame and attention that comes with it. Her son looks like her, and by extension, like CP. I doubt if CP is the father. The woman is just cashing cruise. The boy looks more like her.

Nigerians stop driving cars all the times, sometimes you take a walk or ride a bicycle to your destination, make sure you sweat more e get why.... Those sweats are sickness, when you sweat you let them out of your body sometimes.
huh
Just saying sha....i know some people might think i am crazy for saying this.

I can see her car keys on the table there.

Most Nigerians wont agree with you.

I go to Lagos Island to do certain things - on some occasions, I will drop my key and board buses going to CMS

Whenever there is traffic warning why I am out of home, I find a safe place to park or park in a client's office that I came and board buses or use Uber.

I have come to realize that certain stresses are not worth my life.

I will rather let go of certain things than to get myself worked-up unnecessarily
Politics › Re: Impeachment: Governor Fubara, his Deputy are threats To Democracy - Amaewhule by Focusmind: 2:23pm On Jan 08
The speaker, Amaehule, is going to take over till the conduct of the elections. This is the reason why they are impeaching both the governor and the deputy. If that sails through, the speaker takes over.
Crime › Re: Boutique Owner In Tears After Thieves Looted Goods Worth Million Of Naira(video) by Focusmind: 10:06am On Jan 08
Many jewelry and boutique retailers suffered greatly during this holiday

Most of them that travelled had their shops looted and burgled.

Phones, laptops, gadgets, jewelries and high-end boutique sellers had their shops burgled by thieves.

Some of the thieves are neighborhood thieves and may have known the shop owners very well.

If you have phone and gadget shops, ensure that the ceiling had protector - I entered one shop and saw how the guy used protector to cover the POP ceiling.

In Nigeria, security comes first - most retailers would spend money in getting the best POP design on their ceiling with different lights colors without considering how safe the entire shop is.

Spend those POP money to put protectors on the ceiling and safeguard your hard-earned goods

I thought that with his new ambassadorial position, he would quite this his "Obiphobia" posturing . grin grin grin

The guy went to recharge - his coming "Obiphobia" attacks would be in another level as 2027 draws nearer
Politics › Re: No Aspirant Is Stepping Down In ADC – Atiku by Focusmind: 8:52pm On Jan 06
APC is doing everything to ensure that Atiku is not the ADC flag bearer. They prefer Peter Obi, knowing fully well that Obi would be defeated in the polls. They are very good and comfortable in attacking Obi than Atiku.
Politics › Re: Atiku’s First Daughter, Fatima Picks ADC Membership Card In Abuja by Focusmind: 3:04pm On Jan 06
Politics is the only high-paying job in Nigeria

Politicians are aware of this, and that is why they are also encouraging their children to key into the profession

There is no better reward in Nigeria than being a politician
Sports › Re: Fans Boo Osimhen After Lookman Outburst (Video) by Focusmind: 8:35am On Jan 06
I do not know why players could be selfish at critical games

If your team mate stood a better chance of scoring, why not pass the ball?

Osimehn on his side is too disrespectful - certain things are best spoken off the pitch.

Tournaments are not opportunity to show case your individual skills

It is an opportunity to win laurels for your country.

They should not try these selfish behavior at the bigger stage, as the tournament enters a very crucial and decisive stage.
Travel › Re: Beautiful Nigerian Couple In Sweden Shows What Winter Life Really Looks Like by Focusmind: 5:45pm On Jan 05
Winter is always a depressing period for lots of people, especially for the immigrants. Couples that are not in good terms are forced to stay indoors and before you say jack, tempers would flare up. I can't live abroad, where one is meant to remain indoors for longer period. I cherish outdoors a lot

Foreign Affairs › Re: Kamala Harris Responds to Trump's Actions on Maduro and Venezuela by Focusmind: 12:13pm On Jan 04
Nigeria and Nigerians should know that this action that was taken by Trump would have far reaching consequences.

Trump's desire has been for the OPEC and other oil producing countries to pump more oil into the market and crash the price.

For long, US and western democracies have envisaged a world with cheap energy source. Cheap energy spurs growth in western countries but harm the oil producing countries, which are mainly developing countries.

In the coming years, when US assumes full control of the oil industry in Venezuela, more oil would be pumped from that country into the international oil market, crashing the price, with attendant consequences for oil-based economies like Nigeria.

I forsee a $30/barrel oil price in the next one or two years. Trump was unsuccessful in getting the Saudis to pump more oil to crash the bitting energy costs in the West, which indirectly affects their overall industrial output.

As an oil producing country that depends on higher price values to fund its budget, Nigeria and Nigerians should be concerned. The action would definitely have far reaching consequences for third world oil producing countries.

He should remain on the fence.
Politics › Re: ‘I’ve Seen Bigger Things’ — Natasha Brushes Off Yahaya Bello’s Senate Bid by Focusmind:
In Nigeria, anything can happen. I won't be surprised if Bello "wins". Most Nigerian electorates are not informed and can't make good electoral judgement. If Bello puts up an aggressive campaign, there are lots of "structures" on ground that will sell his candidacy to the electorates.
Foreign Affairs › Re: Photo Of Captured Venezuelan President, Maduro by Focusmind: 6:19pm On Jan 03
Trump is just trying to form superman and hype the US. The man, Maduro, voluntarily gave himself up. That was the news from the vice president of Venezuela. Maduro voluntarily surrendered but Trump, in his usual way, is using the word, " captured " as if Maduro was taken after a fierce battle. There was no resistance from the Venezuelan armed forces and Maduro was sold out within his own regime.

BondRiv:
One of the most useless jobs in the world is being in the U.S. military. Pawns to NWO agenda.
You may not be totally correct. I have two Nigerians that travelled to USA but struggled for the past 4 years, financially. Immediately they enlisted into the US army and served within stipulated time, their lives have changed. They are doing exceptionally well now. Agreed, there are some risks but if you survived within the period of your enlistment and became a veteran, you have lots of advantages.
Politics › Re: We Negotiated For Peter Obi Presidency In ADC, Nothing Less - Oseloka Obaze by Focusmind: 7:10am On Jan 03
Ok naa! No be Nigeria we dey so undecided

Everything is not by "gra gra" or it must by our own terms.

I keep saying this: let Obi go for the primaries. If he wins, fine but If he loses, no problems. If he is asked to pair with the eventual winner, there is nothing wrong with that. Their goal as a political party should be how to win elections and not about individual person's ambition.
Politics › Re: Rivers: The Dog Barks When It Doesn't Understand, We Are Not Barking - Fubara by Focusmind: 10:14am On Jan 02
Fubara should calm down o! Tinubu's bet will always be on Wike. Tinubu don't like people that are dull and subservient, politically. He likes them brutish, raw and uncompromising. Wike ticks all the boxes for Tinubu. Tinubu allowed Wike to be in charge of local government for a reason and would give him even greater powers as the build up to the 2027 election gathers momentum
Foreign Affairs › Re: How Global Economic Power Shifted Between The Era Of 1980–2025 by Focusmind: 9:46am On Jan 02
I am surprised that one folk above compared Nigeria to India. In as much as India is still regarded as a third world country, they have a far higher level of productivity than Nigeria. Their infrastructure is above Nigeria and the quality of their technological advancement is far higher than Nigeria. They may be poverty-stricken, but they are making steady progress in all facet of human development. Their huge population and the terrain of certain parts of their country is hindering overall human capital development.
Politics › Re: I’ll Withdraw Support If Peter Obi Runs As VP In 2027 – Pat Utomi by Focusmind: 7:26am On Jan 02
Political neophytes!! You mustn't have it your way. In Nigeria's treacherous Political terrain, you have to crawl for people to make way for you at the top. The same happens in corporate world. You have to tow the path for those at the top to make way for you. It's not by "gragra".

This was the same way Obi was hyped in 2023, despite standing a good chance to win the presidency with Atiku. His supporters, including Utomi, felt that Obi was invisible. I will continue to say it: Obi's chances to the presidency would have been through Atiku in 2023. His supporters have started again with their "do or die" attitude that it must be Obi or nothing.

Obi should not allow some of his supporters to harm his chances of claiming Political power. As they say, power is negotiated and not a birth right. You have to negotiate and wrestle for it. Nobody hand it over to you without a contest. I don't know how Obi and his team are building the necessary contacts to win the primaries, which is the first huddle. If he loses, he should consider teaming up with the winner for the general elections. You don't chicken out because it didn't go your way. Moreover, he has lost considerable level of momentum he had in 2023.

He is contesting the presidency against a formidable opponent, with incumbency power under his belt. The odds are already stacked against Obi. His utmost concern should be how his new party will win and not his personal interest. In Nigeria's politics, nobody is a Saint. Not even Obi. Why is Utomi behaving as if Obi has the magic to fix Nigeria? They should be more concerned about the strategy on how to win the general election.
Family › Re: My Candid Advice For You This 2026 by Focusmind: 10:30am On Jan 01
You see this school own, if you are a struggling guy, please adhere to this advice. Don't listen to your wife if she's not on your side to manage your expenses, except if she is going to contribute.

Fraction topics in mathematics in Adeniran primary school is the same fraction in Grenville international British Model School; The Simple Interest and percentages in maths in Ilasa primary school is the same simple interest in Gentle Touch montessori international school.

Don't stress yourself on school fees because you want to provide the best for your kids or you want to copy the Adeyemis or the Okoyes. Save yourself unnecessary financial pressure and focus where your reach is. But if you have the capacity, go to any school of your choice.

There are certain robbery operations that happens in western countries that can never happen here. The sophistication that goes on in the planning and execution could be mind boggling. Despite their high security networks, robbers still beat their systems to cause damage. This kind of dare devil sophisticated robbery cannot happen here.

So sad!
May he rest in peace - I saw the voice note and the story on social media and felt so sad!

He was already out but went in again to salvage more goods before one side of the building caved in.

My people, sometimes, as a man, your life is not worth anything material. There are times you just have to let go just to have your peace and sanity.

I remembered during the frequent fire occurrences at the Onitsha main market, at one incident, people were salvaging their goods and the inferno was approaching. My father just looked, sighed and asked all of us, including the "umuboi" to evacuate the place.

The "umuboi" were hesitant as they wanted to salvage as much goods as possible, but my dad insisted that everybody should evacuate and not bother with the remaining goods.

The raging inferno came and razed down everything, with fatality on people that were still trying to salvage their goods.

I believe that with life, more things could come ones way with dint of hard work. On many occasions, i had let things go, huge losses just to move on instead of getting myself stocked on something I could not help

Rest in peace, bro! I feel sorry for your wife and your family.
