Career › Re: Meet Rukaiya El-Rufai, The First PwC Female Northerner Partner by Focusmind: 11:08am On Jul 17, 2020
At the very young age. Quite an achievement. Starting a career with any of the big 4 should be the dream of every graduate from the business discipline. Don't mind the pay package as you will be well grounded.

When will he receive the oil mined through bunkering by the Niger Delta boys? Or fuel refined by the artisanal refiners in the creeks of Delta? All na same thing.

Niger Deltans mined and refine their own oil, they call it bunkering and stealing while when others with gold deposits mine theirs, it is called artisanal mining. Ok naa grin

All na for the gbola! UK like money die. They missed the huge millions of pounds being made here.
The new point immigration system will be another huge money for them.

The Chancellor told the people that he is expecting millions from visa application after leaving the EU as the EU citizens will now be expected to pay and apply for visas to come to UK as well.
Foreign Affairs › Re: UK Bans China's Huawei From Its 5G Network, Hands US Big win by Focusmind: 8:01pm On Jul 14, 2020
China will loose this war. Cross Atlantic alliance is still strong. Very soon, EU will join the ban when Trump puts much pressure or even sanction.

China is flexing too much muscle. They should have maintained but pride wont allow them.

China is cunning and will spy at anything. They have too much control on their companies.

Most likely. Anambra traders could be mean when it comes to money and business. Don't ever cheat your fellow business partner after a business deal.

They can be mean and brutal. They don't let go.

Education › Re: Private Schools Teachers To Protest On Monday Over Nonpayment, School Closure by Focusmind: 12:16pm On Jul 12, 2020
They are really struggling. I know a lady that earns 40k and conduct lessons, earning total of 85k every month. The husband is not doing anything for the past 11months and she has been catering for the whole family of six.

She is passing through difficult times as lessons are note even going on. No parent has agreed for any private lesson for their kid at this time. Coro is big disruptor to lot of families.

Even me talking, I haven't seen anything since April.

Education › Re: Yam Germinates In UNICAL Male Hostel While On Lockdown (Photos) by Focusmind: 11:19pm On Jul 11, 2020
My concern is the decrepit building they call Hostel. I pity and sympathize with Nigerian youths especially those that are not opportune to travel out of this country to school. When you school abroad, you will understand the magnitude of damage that have been done to our educational system.
Environment is everything. The environment you grow, live, school, work and play has role to play in shaping your thoughts and life.

Our dirty and unhygienic environment is becoming a norm and acceptable as a way of life.

See how the whole place is looking like an abandoned concentration camp.
Politics › Re: Seriake Dickson: In Defense Of The Nigerian Woman by Focusmind: 3:26pm On Jul 11, 2020
Good one. Nice article. We should do away with primordial sentiments and focus on capacity to deliver.

This country have been held down for so long because of fault lines and, it is becoming even worse, no thanks to the current regime.

Government should be seen as encompassing and father-like figure and not the kind of division we currently have in this country.

Agree that all sections should be carried along, but competence should remain the key.

So what you are suggesting is that if someone is using your kId's SSN illegal you have to wait until him/her turns 18 to find out?
That's the way it is. The only way to find out will be for someone else to try and use it to file. If someone is using it, it won't go. The person will be informed that someone is using the SSN already.

So, I was happy seeing the link you sent but on checking it, I found out that you will have to be 18 years to register and view your statement and the transactions that went into it. My child is not yet 18 and as a father, I can't register for her.

As a parents, if you feel that your child's SSN have been compromised, the only thing to do is to contact the IRS or the SSN department.

I'm not sure you need to be 18 to be able to check this, i think parents should be able to do this...maybe those who have done it will give more info
Well, I read the requirements. That's why I was asking for any parents that have done it before or check for their kids. There is a provision for date of birth and SSN in the registration form.

You need to register first then check, i have not been able to get previous page where this was discussed at length
It is only the beneficiary owner of SSN that could create the registration. You can't register for your child. You must be 18 years and above.


So, my child have to be 18years to register and view her SSN records.

Please who have used this service for to check status of their kids before? This could only be used by a person of 18 years and above and it was stated that you cant create a profile for anybody except the person himself or herself.

I want to check if someone is using my daughters SSN but creation of profile on the website for the purposes of getting statement is only for people of 18 years and above.

Mehn, I love this. I am suspecting the woman my wife stayed with when she put to bed in 2014. Some Nigerians in US are fond of using relatives SSN for their own benefit without letting the legitimate owner of the number to know.

I want to check the status of my daughter's SSN. These relatives abroad use the numbers for tax rebates and refund and I don't know if such will show on the SSN of my daughter, Justwise, I am just asking.

My wife said the woman used it why she was there but the woman said she has not been using it since then but I don't trust her.

Poor quality works everywhere - honestly, our country is gone! Are these what the youths are praising? Our standards are terribly low in this country.

See how they poured coal tar as road construction. Wait when the rains are over, you will see red earth.

I doubt if he is in Nigeria. He can't be in Nigeria and had the boldness to publish such or he is under some powerful backings. That's how it starts.
Politics › Re: 'I Can’t Afford A PR Firm’ — Okonjo-Iweala Seeks Volunteers For WTO Campaign by Focusmind: 1:24pm On Jul 08, 2020
don't worry, I will volunteer. I am trying to sign up. I hope I would be allowed to come and do internship in WTO.

I am looking for a way to sign in. That is the way it starts. Most politicians and leaders of multilateral agencies does that as well. They always have volunteers to campaign for them and at the end, there are some non monetary benefits like exposure, getting information regarding the agency and the candidate, getting to know the contestant very well and having the person as a mentor.

People may crticise it but it pays. I know one guy that was part of Atiku's media campaign online. He was able to meet Atiku one on one later. Finally, Atiku's name was included in one of his proposals as a referee and the contractor called him. The fact that he knew Atiku somehow made him relevant among other proposals

So campaigning for high-profile candidate is not bad at all but try and make yourself visible. All na part of networking.

I hope he didn't get the disease from his gay partner? I don't know how people feel on this gay issue.

What do they enjoy with their fellow men? Tufiakwa! And he had the boldness to confirm to the whole world in one of his shows that him dey do (f*ck) his fellow man!

Sight of a fellow man touching me will be so disgusting to me.

They always use it brag among their friends in Nigeria that they gave birth to all their kids abroad. grin

Honestly, I pray for my Dad. He is in his 70s and not so strong for the past 4 years. I have told him to remain indoors most of time because of coro as he is already predisposed.

Old people should stay at home please. Tell your parents and relatives who are elderly or suffering from old age diseases. Coro no de mercy them. They should stay at home and people should not visit them any how.

These are how those without good dress sense looks like. Very Common among fat guys and K-leg guys.

My boss always says that those without good sense of dressing are not usually smart and lacks confidence. But with straight pant trousers, starched white shirt, clean shaven, a brown Zara shoe and Suit, you looks intimidating and appealing and exuding so much confidence.

If you are in a service industry or a consultant, you need to look sharp, smart and successful for people to do business with you grin

People like to associate with successful people in business. So, take your dressing seriously. It must not be expensive but well fitted. That's what matters. I pick all my quality shoes, Zara suites, jackets as ok and then my laundry man finishes the work. He will think it was bought in high-street in London

SMH. Some Nigerian youths are bunch of idiots. See how tribalistic they have turned everything into.

Must everything be about ethnicity? The behaviour of some retards here makes me sick.

That's why the politicians are having a field day, using your head. We deserve the kind of leaders we have. After all, they came from our likes here in nairaland.
