TravelRe: JAPA: Scott Bolshevik Mocks Nigerians by Focusmind: 7:52pm On Nov 15, 2025
The man was right in what he said. I don't know why Nigerians in US and Canada, especially, celebrates acquisition of citizenship, with great spectacle and funfair. The inferiority complex of some Nigerians abroad could be nauseating. Most times, they do it thinking that they are "peppering " folks back home with their new status.

Can't believe that Makinde and Wike are now sworn enemies. People that went abroad pre 2023 on asoebi together. Definitely, the court would reverse the decision of the convention

Where is Lt. Yerima ?

It's not about guarding a parcel of land, and being favored within the ranks and file of the military because of your father or connections. His type should be in the theatre of war.

EducationRe: Meet The Students Of Maduka University Enugu (Photos) by Focusmind: 11:06am On Nov 14, 2025
Some idiots are hear throwing jabs at the school and the students, forgetting that those students would graduate in record time and be well-placed for graduate positions with the top 4 - KPMG, PWC, DELOITTE and EY, consulting firms, banks, oil companies and other multinational institutions.

Go and check the background of most of the graduate trainee positions in most private firms - greater number came from private universities. It was Covenant University that set that pace and since then, most private universities have shunned out graduates that have taken their places in various private sector led establishments.

No permanent friend; No permanent enemy. Everything is about interest at any particular time.

Your friend could be your enemy tomorrow; Your enemy could be your friend tomorrow.

The funny thing is that any time your enemy becomes your friend, the friendship is always very strong. The same applies to anytime your friend becomes your enemy, the enemity no go be for here. That one is the one they refer to as "sworn enemy". I have seen it happened. Enemies becoming great friends and friends becoming sworn enemies.
PoliticsRe: US Military Presents Plan For Potential Action In Nigeria by Focusmind: 9:04am On Nov 06, 2025
Nigerian authorities should even use this opportunity to work with Pentagon for targeted strikes on the bandits.

For me, this present a new vista of opportunity that BAT should employ to route out the bandits. Nigerian armed forces do not possess the drone capabilities required to monitor and gather intelligence for precision strikes. This is what Washington wants to provide and the Nigerian authorities should work with them to map out and delineate areas for strikes.

What I would not support is unilateral strike on Nigeria by external forces. This would amount to an insult on the sovereignty of Nigeria. Something must have gone wrong for White to totally ignore Abuja in this their military action on bandits. There is still more to this story than we are seeing. Something must have triggered Washington.
FamilyRe: Nigerian Man Gushes Over His Third Wife On Her Birthday, Says She Made Him Happy by Focusmind: 5:16am On Nov 06, 2025
Must he refer to her as "3rd wife" ?

Just saying "my wife" is enough. What has "3rd" got to do in the description? He wants everyone to know that he is polygamous and the fourth may be on the way.
TravelRe: Why Is Tax More Expensive Than Flight Price(picture) by Focusmind: 4:59am On Nov 06, 2025
Wickedfact:
Sin taxes are levied on activities deemed as vices. Stuff like gambling, alcohol and tobacco.
Is air travel a vice?
Abi wetin you dey talk sef?

Are you aware that flight tickets from one country to another in European countries are less than flights from one state to another in Nigeria?
Nobody is disputing the fact that " sin taxes" are mainly levied on dangerous goods like alcohol, tobacco and even sugary products, as a form of control by the government. Most airlines still considers the high tax rates imposed on airfares as "punitive" and still refers it as " sin taxes ", as government considers it a luxury goods. The same applies to importation of some luxurious goods where the tax elements are more than the base costs.

That the airlines fares from one EU country to another is lower than local flights in Nigeria is not the issue of the topic. The issue is the tax components of the airfare costs, irrespective of the location. If you book round trip, Lagos to Toronto, you will notice that the fare from Lagos to Toronto is higher than from Toronto to Lagos. It is because of the tax elements imposed by the government, where the flights are departing from. EU is an economic area, of which Brussels usually has a hand in setting tax and tariff rates, making flights within member states to be cheaper.

Children born to middle class and rich Nigerians do not speak their native languages and don't know how to speak them.
TravelRe: Why Is Tax More Expensive Than Flight Price(picture) by Focusmind: 1:51pm On Nov 05, 2025
The taxes you see there are called " Sin taxes"

This is usually imposed on goods and services considered to be luxury or imposed to curb the consumption of certain goods or services.

Worldwide, flight services is considered as a luxury services and government around the world imposes higher taxes on flights departing from their territories.
Car TalkRe: Is This Toyota Avalon A Good Buy For 8.5M? by Focusmind: 12:48pm On Nov 05, 2025
Nice and mid range exotic car but it would be hard for you to sell it when you want to upgrade to something higher. The second hand value is next to nothing. Except if you want to sell at a force sale value
PoliticsRe: 'Donald Trump Come & Save Us' - Man Hits The Streets Of Abuja by Focusmind: 4:49pm On Nov 04, 2025
This one is looking for content.

People have already started trending because of Trump's thoughts on Nigeria.

Unilateral strike by foreign powers within Nigerian territory is not the best solution.

Any help should be in consultation with the government to avoid going the Libyan way.

I hope the target is just the terrorists and not unilateral strike on Nigeria.

For POTUS to refer to Nigeria as a "disgraced country" is a source of concern

Something must have gone wrong somewhere.
CrimeRe: Nigerian Man Jailed Ten Years For Raping Teen in UK (Picture) by Focusmind: 4:44pm On Nov 04, 2025
Many of them like that, after serving years in prison abroad would come back to Nigeria to constitute nuisance. You will see them dressed up like abroadians , moving up and down, doing nothing and looking for one illegal business to do. Many of them are like that here and I am sure greater percentage of them were deportees from abroad after serving their jail terms.

PoliticsRe: President Tinubu To Visit US Tuesday, Meet Trump's Vice, JD Vance by Focusmind: 7:05am On Nov 03, 2025
I hope JD Vance will not embarrase Tinubu because the US vice president is fond of throwing "punches" at visiting heads of state with no-hold-bared questions in front of the camera. He will never agree to a private meeting with BAT. He would hold the meeting in full glare of the press, throwing punches at Tinubu, which may even exposed the president to more ridicule. They are waiting for him. This may be the opportunity the white house is waiting for.

I hope say US no go get hand for the coup, sha. I wonder what could have given the "coupist " the moral courage to think of a coup in the current Nigeria's political set up. Let me still believed that the whole thing is a hoax as government has not said that there was an attempted coup.
PoliticsRe: Nigeria's Securing, Economy Have Improved Under Tinubu - Omokri, Mike Replies by Focusmind: 6:09am On Nov 02, 2025
He should come and live with us here in Nigeria. I hate it when some privileged, government - paid Nigerians living abroad would be telling us how Nigeria is doing well in all indicators but they dare not come to live in Nigeria. As people usually say, it is better to love Nigeria while living abroad
PoliticsRe: Trump Threatens To Stop Aid And Start Military Action In Nigeria by Focusmind: 5:16am On Nov 02, 2025
I think there is more to this than meets the eyes. Trump cannot be threatening Nigeria if he has not fallen out of favour with Abuja. There may have been broken down negotiations on something very strategic. Trump knows how to use his strength to his advantage in negotiations. Imagine how he described Nigeria, " that disgraced country." People are not even commenting on this strong comment from Trump. Nigeria will soon be classified in the categories of Yemen, Iran, Sudan, Afghanistan and Zimbabwe. Even Syria is becoming a darling of the West, as the new regime cowers towards the dictates of the West.
PoliticsRe: Anambra APC Rally: Akpabio’s Appearance Raises Questions About His Well-being by Focusmind: 10:38pm On Nov 01, 2025
Soludo is lucky!!!.

Just imagine that Ifeanyi Ubah was the candidate of APC, with the full chest of APC power brokers backing him. The current APC candidate is no match to Soludo. So, there is not going to be any challenge to him in the next election. Ifeanyi Ubah would have electrified this gubernatorial campaign more with his typical grass roots mobilisation.
FoodRe: How Many Slices Can You Eat In One Sitting? (picture) by Focusmind: 7:54pm On Nov 01, 2025
I stopped eating bread when I clocked 40.

Sadly, Bokku brought me back to bread. I usually buy their bread when I am in their supermarket and the bread is just just coming out from the oven. undecided

I don't take bread if its not coming directly from the oven. Once it settles and gets to the shelves, my appetite drops. So, OP, I will not take any slice except if it is hot and soft.
EducationRe: 5 Futuristic Courses That Can Land You High-paying Jobs Abroad by Focusmind: 9:10pm On Oct 31, 2025
Getting those jobs will never be easy.

If you intend to go abroad to study with the best chance of landing a job, just focus on:

1. Nursing
2. Support Worker
3. Human and Social Services
4. Mental health
5. Psychology and Psychotherapy
6. Early Childhood Education
7. Mathematical Science
8. Health Care Support Roles

All those big courses mentioned by the OP are quite saturated and competitive. Lots of immigrants that studied "fancy " and "big" courses are still job hunting while those that studied simple health and allied courses have gotten themselves something. Don't be deceived by fancy courses. Focus on courses that the Services are required by people, on a larger scale

PoliticsRe: Customs Recruitment: 'Lagos got more slots than all Northern. states combined" by Focusmind: 9:37am On Oct 30, 2025
See who is talking about Federal Character? The term, " Federal Character" [/b]should not be in the same sentence with any major northern politician. Even though the present government has not done enough in terms of federal character, Nigerians should all rise together to condemn injustices in whatever form. I have noticed that most people in Nigeria feel alright if things do not affect them but cry foul when the tides turns. Under Buhari, we witnessed the worst form of nepotism and favoritism, with recklessness without caring at all. Nigeria's leaders would continue to be the bane of Nigeria's underdevelopment. Read Professor Chinua Achebe's book, [b]"The Trouble With Nigeria". You would understand how successive leaderships of the country have all worked together to derail the unity and progress of this nation/
