My candid advice to all would-be parents is to give birth to children they can cater for so there will not be need to leave your children in the care of others who don't care as long as you live.This is absolutely brutal.
The people this message is meant for are not here. They are in ghettos and remote villages.

This is why I suspected if Raymond Dokpesi actually had Coro.

These guys can say anything to get out of hook and weep up sentiments. His lawyers would have advised him to play the corona virus card and delay his appearance in court and slow down EFCC assault. And guess what? It worked for him. He is chilling now in his mansion in Abuja.

This Orji wan use the same format. Next thing now, he would announced that he has got Coro and would be visiting isolation center.

Fear Nigerian politicians!

Adedipupo aka Kkconsult, don't you think it will be more credible for you and what you represent on this platform to deliver on the services you have been paid for.

Why would you take 250k for engineering drawings and disappear without picking your calls for over one month? I won't consider this fraud yet until you refuse to revert within the next week.
Honestly,i don't know why some Engineers in this forum behaves like this?? They will collect money and promise to deliver in one week's time.

After one, two and four weeks no show. When you call him, he won't pick and will be avoiding you.

Stupidly, he would come to nairaland again soliciting and advertising his job again. I am currently pursuing one like that with SARS. He seems to be hiding but we will get him after collecting 300k to deliver on windows.

This kind of thing does not go hand in hand with the wacky and indiscipline nature of Nigerians.

We lack decency and decorum in this country. So crude and backwards in everything. It is not about the government. it is about the citizens. The lackadaisical atitudes of Nigerians are second to none.

Go there after somedays, you will see how the things will be misused and abused by people.

Ebonyi state is a barren state that adds nothing to the igbo nation. They are mainly illiterates and constituting nuisance everywhere.
And they sabi born like rabbit - you will see a very wretched couple given birth to 9 to 11 children and at the end will put them up for adoption as house maids, hawkers and nanny. The value system of people in Ebonyi is wack and need to be changed
Ebonyi needs serious reorientation
Jobs/Vacancies › Re: 4625 Graduates Apply For Amotekun Job In Osun by Focusmind:
The current state of our nation. The current state of unemployment in this country is terrible. Every year, thousands are put into the unemployment market.

Let me shock you. In the place I stay, we have an aboki that we pay 25k every month, which is contributed by all the tenants. He washes cars in the compound by choice and for each car washed, he is paid N500. Everyday, he makes an average of 2 to 3 thousand depending on the cars he washes, which means in a month, he is making up to 80k. Remember, he lives in the security post with toilet and bath. A complete self con.

In March, at the outbreak of the pandemic, he said he would be travelling to his state, Katsina and he would bring someone to replace him in his job. One tenant said no, that he has his relation that is a graduate and is looking for a job. He called the guy and after introduction and telling him what the job entails, he accepted.

He is currently the security man in the building, opening gates and washing the cars. He said his life is far better now as at least he has roof over his head and sees up to 50k every month unlike when he was not doing any thing.

A graduate of chemistry!!. Though nothing wrong in that job after all, we all did it back then in UK. Accepting that job by graduate shows the current state of our nation.

Oga spyder, I do like all these sharp lines on the wall. At what point do you put it? Is it before plastering or what.

Do you put cello tape and plaster and then remove tape to form those lines? I don't know how and when it is done.
Romance › Re: Ladies How Do You Cope With An Overbearing Man??? by Focusmind: 6:57am On Jun 27, 2020
Please don't take this issue likely. If he is behaving this way at the time he is relatively comfortable, no issues yet, how is he going to behave when things becomes difficult, marriage issues crops in, depression sets in?

Sister, this kind of character is dangerous I must tell you. Check if you could absorb all shocks. Imagine insisting on you going to Ikeja at that hour and stress and didn't care about your opinion.

Sometimes my wife offers her opinion that I knew may be worthless but I still listened and accepted them as if they are top notch just to make her happy and open her up to contribute to issues and say her mind in discussions.

With him, I see your freedom being hijacked and you will constantly nag him that it may result in physical assault.

Don't defend any of his bad character. When people are in love, they tend to overlook certain short comings of their partners.

Know if this trait is something you could tolerate. But please note that type of character is not healthy in marriage.
Watch please before you commit. The institution of marriage is under constant attack these days.
Politics › Re: Tinubu: I Never Said I Spent N35 Billion On Buhari’s Elections by Focusmind: 11:31pm On Jun 26, 2020
Tinibu is indeed and issue in Nigerian politics.

He has been trending for the past one week.

I don't know the obsession with Tinubu especially from SS/SE.

I have said it before that Tinubu is not the cause of their problem.

After ABBA Kyari, Tinubu seems to be the most hated by people.

I don't know what the man has done wrong. Even on issues that doesn't concern him, they will drag him to it.

See how youths are falling over themselves worshipping a politician doing what he was elected to do.

I bet you, the worst built NHS hospital in UK is finer than this and the best built NHS in UK is far more beautiful and costs less than this.

Maintenance is a problem. I wonder how they will look when you come there next few years.

Check the general hospitals built in the 90s and see how they are now.

cool



See, Tinubu doesn't have to talk, he sleeps in Ikoyi and Abuja bows to him

Let me translate it in Ipobian pidgin language

1: Buhari say make Giadom and NWC dey go house
2: him talk say Ize Iyamu remains Edo Legitimate APC flag bearer
3: him talk say IPOB heroes must immediately cancel all court cases or chop beating
4: him talk say make Governors of Niger, Osun (Tinubu's cousin) , Yobe ( Oshiomhole' former secretary) make them they run APC nationwide till they conduct new Election



.
Please tell them. I am not sure that they understood the president's speech. Tinubu's men are still n charge. The primaries in Edo remains.

Chief Victor and his team should be ready to go.

I don't understand this obsession about Tinubu. President Buhari is still with him.

Buhari is an unapologetic and committed loyalist. He will never abandon his supporter and benefactors.

I don't know this obsession people have about Tinubu.

Is he the one in government? Every blame is heaped on him for no just cause. People just hates the man to satisfy themselves.

I don't know the wrong that he did. He is just a politician and doing his thing.

SE/SS should know that Tinubu is the not the cause of their problem. They should free the man jaree.

I trust him. He will quietly walks away and comes back when things cools off. He is maverick. His enemies Should not rejoice yet.
Politics › Re: AFDB Ranked Fourth Most Transparent Aid Institution In The World by Focusmind: 6:31am On Jun 25, 2020
Adesina is my man anytime but all these so called international recognition and award by one mushroom organisation at this time is not necessary. He may be portrayed as desperate, the way a typical Nigerian politician pays for awards and recognition.

One of the things he was accused of was using the bank's fund to get personal awards and global recognition. If AFDB is transparent, they should be seen to be so and not through all these one room outfits that recipients pays to get the so called award.

This was so common in my days in the banking sector. Banks were paying heavily to international and local agencies to get awards. Some UK and international organisations capitalised on the desperate Nigerian banks to ex tort money from them for the so called "best in this; and best in that" kind of awards.
Family › Re: Is It Wrong To Show Gratitude? by Focusmind: 9:24pm On Jun 24, 2020
It is not just thanking the person but also informing our parents about someone's act of kindness so that they will extend their own gratitude. That was how I was brought up.

I argue with my wife on this a lot. People will give her things like money, bought things for my kids or edible things that I will even partake in eating without letting me know until I asked. I also need to appreciate the person. That was how I was trained by my parents.

You will always want to do good to people that are appreciative than to proud and pompous people.

Onitsha is a den of wickedness - Relatives visits wickedness on their relatives a lot.

A lot of mothers and women bring people from poor communities and if you see the way they deal with these little innocent housemaids, you wonder.

I don't know why men do keep mute and their wives beats their house maids mercilessly. Such cant happen under my watch.

My wife complained that I hardly beat or scold my house help but don't waste time in shouting at my kids and even flogging them.
Politics › Re: AA Begins Edo Governorship Primary Election by Focusmind: 4:24pm On Jun 24, 2020
A none PDP candidate may likely be the next governor after everything. I am seeing a supreme court governor in Edo state.

A PDP or APC will be sworn in but will later be removed by court on one technicality or the other. same for PDP

It seems that they have not followed laid down procedures in their conduct. No wonder this party is making sure that it follows all established rules to select it candidate.

Between APC and PDP, who ever wins should be ready for endless court case.
Politics › Re: Shehu Musa Yar'adua Opens The Lagos-Ibadan Expressway In 1978 by Focusmind: 8:49am On Jun 24, 2020
RuudVanNisteroy:
NIGERIA: VICE PRESIDENT BRIGADIER SHEHU MUSA YAR'ADUA OPENS NEW EXPRESSWAY LINKING LAGOS TO IBADAN.

The Brigadier then formally opened the new highway, the first rural expressway in the country.

The road cost a total of 170 million naira (nearly 266 million dollars). And to recover at least part of that cost, and to pay for its upkeep, road users will have to pay a toll. Even at the opening ceremony, Brigadier Shehu Yar'Adua led the way in paying for the service the new expressway offers."

Transcript of Brigadier Yar'Adua's remarks:

"The expressway which we are about to open is one of the finest of its type by any standard. Your convenience, comfort and safety have all been incorporated in the highest standard of its design and construction. It does seem however that the better the road, the greater the death toll. The reported deaths on highways rose from 4,537 in 1973 to 8,000 in 1977, giving us a daily average of about 22 deaths. We all know that these are caused by excessive speeding, lack of proper maintenance of vehicles, drunkenness and a complete disregard for highway rules and regulations. I hereby appeal to all road users, and in particular, motorists, to obey highway rules and regulations, to have more respect for their lives and show care and consideration for others. This country has paid very substantially for your comfort and safety on this expressway so please do not make it a one-way ticket to death."
No be today Nigerians recklessness on the road started. Imagine the high death rate on the road then. Our accident rates have been high from time immemorial - imagine my former traditional ruler died on the road and one of my aunt's husband died on the road. See his statement, " high speed, articulated vehicles, lack of maintenance and over speeding - all these are still with us till today because of our stubbornness and lack of discipline.
