Politics › Re: Buhari: I Ran To TY Danjuma Due To My Shock At IDPs Camps by Focusmind: 7:27pm On Mar 20, 2020
But the rate of breeding in that camp is too much. You will see people in that pitiable condition still giving birth.

BBC media action did a documentary and showed a man that gave birth to 9 children in IDP.

He came to the cam in 2008 and within a space of 12 years, gave birth to 9 malnourished children.

Even the wife was a pity to behold. Poor innocent children.

We should endeavour to have the number of kids we could cater for.

Politics › Re: Aftermath Of Abule Ado Explosion Lagos (Live Pictures) by Focusmind: 8:06pm On Mar 15, 2020
More troubles for owners of houses around that vicinity.

I trust Sanwo Olu, he would demolish all the houses in that area. Most of the houses looks new meaning that they may have been built recently.

Nigerian cities lack adequate town planning.
Politics › Re: Pipeline Explosion At Abule Ado Amuwo Odofin, Lagos (Video) by Focusmind: 11:47am On Mar 15, 2020
Nigerian cities are nothing to write home. So disorganised and unplanned.

You can't have an emergency and navigate your way out. Bad roads, NEPA electric polls in all places, crude and aggressive looking citizens, lack of environmental aesthetics and total disregard for proper public places.

Am sure that pipeline has been exposed for long but our ineffective authorities would be waiting for the worst to happen first.
Politics › Re: Ali Gomina: Osinbajo At Late Escort Rider’s Village, Expresses Grief by Focusmind: 10:00pm On Mar 14, 2020
Respect Sir. Your behaviour is not what we usually see from a typical Nigerian politician.

You aborted your flight and returned back and still paid a visit to the bereaved. That's emotional intelligence.

Kudos!
Crime › Re: Anambra Police Command Parades 122 Persons For Various Crimes - Pictures by Focusmind: 6:08am On Mar 14, 2020
Anambra is fast becoming den of robbers. Densely populated without meaningful opportunities for the youths.

Over population and over breeding will destroy Nigeria.

People should have the number of kids they could cater for and not producing potential arm rubbers.

Children, if not well trained, turns out to be a menace to the society.

Our people will not hear. For them, children na God gifts.

Not all but most children of the poor and abandoned usually turns bad and becomes a threat to the society.
Education › Re: Ekiti Varsity Retains Lamido Sanusi as Chancellor by Focusmind: 5:55am On Mar 14, 2020
Chancellor ship of a university is given to the office, title or the position the person occupies and not to the person.

FG appointing Emir of Zazzau as the Chancellor of UNIBEN does not mean that the person occupying that stool is the one appointed. It is his stool or office.

If he leaves that stool, whoever is the Emir of Zazzau takes over the chancelorship of UNIBEN automatically

Fayemi is just doing politics and eye service
Family › Re: My Husband Doesn’t Want My Son To Come And Stay With Us by Focusmind: 11:50am On Mar 13, 2020
I pity the poor woman. It seems you don't have love again for the man. You responded to all bad comments about the man, agreeing with all bad things people said about him to the extend you said you want to divorce him if it comes to that..

There is anger in your heart which quite understandable. There is a thin line between love and hate when it comes to a woman's feeling. Your husband's attitude towards your son is making you to resent him which is understandable.

please still plead with him. I feel the emotional trauma that boy is passing through. Children staying with relatives loose greater part of their childhood and do turn out bad.

Cry to your husband and beg him except he has a heart of stone. It is difficult for a man to accept another man's child. Just relates this to what lions does once they enter into a new pride, they first kill the cubs of the former lion king to put the female lions on heat so that he would father a new set of pride. Lions detest cubs of other lions so much.

I wish you all the best - You have a date with that boy on Sunday as you said. Don't fail him
Sports › Re: Ighalo Equals Lukaku's Manchester United Goals Record by Focusmind: 8:42am On Mar 13, 2020
Where is that former Man United that came to Lagos and was saying rubbish. He even said that Ighalo is too heavy and slow to fit into united and premier leaque - Leo Ferdinand, come and say that trash again.

Sadly, some of our country men supported that assertion and made mockery of Ighalo

Let him come again and talk. Once it is your time to shine, even your stupidity will be applauded.

Well done Ighalo
Politics › Re: President Buhari In Kebbi For Argungu Fishing Festival 2020 by Focusmind: 5:13pm On Mar 12, 2020
This is not time for any frivolities and celebration. Please, focus should be on the economy.

Nigerians don't know what is coming soon concerning the impact of this virus on world economy.

if you follow the world economy and the happenings around, this is the time for our economic planners to go to work

for those working or running their business, please save. Don't spend on unnecessary thing. Massive job losses looms as company struggles against liquidity and foreign exchange. Importers are no more importing and essential raw materials in industry will soon run out.

For those in paid employment, pray for job security as I don't know if companies will survive this onslaught.

Government should face serious business
Crime › Re: 15 Persons Killed In Ebonyi State (Disturbing Video, Photos) by Focusmind: 8:30am On Mar 11, 2020
They should determine what happened.

most people have started pointing their fingers at heardsmen when they are not sure. Just as someone said, Ebonyi state is the bastion of communal and kindred conflicts in the SE.

I don't support the heardsmen but I have noticed, especially the people from SE that once there is an attack in their area, the next suspect is Fulani heardsmen which is not healthy for our country.

I remember the attack in the catholic church in Anambra where more than 15 were killed, the news flying around were that herdsmen attacked the church when it was actually a drug gang war.

moreover, that video seems so fake to me. Ebonyi state government have not reacted and people from that area have said that such thing did not happen. Nigerians should stop fake news and rumours as it was fake news that caused the Rwanda genocide.

People digest fake news quickly in this part of the world.
Politics › Re: Audu Ogbeh Emerges ACF Chairman by Focusmind: 2:14am On Mar 11, 2020
I don't know why people from the South, especially SE are attacking this appointment.

You guys will never put your house in order and will always be quick to comment on things that concerns other zones.

Mention Tinubu now and you will hear them lambasting the man as if he is the cause of their problem.

Others will be re strategizing and they will be busy chasing shadows and mundane things.

Let them keep following the deceiver called Cownu, e go clear for their eye.

Unrated900:
That’s not a Nigerian cemetery
You got it - you just took it out of my mouth. The cemetery in the pic is too neat to be a Nigerian cemetery

Most cemetery in Nigeria are more of bush without proper maintenance except the ones privately owned.

This is a typical European cemetery looking at the grasses and the surrounding environment.
Politics › Re: Sanusi Dethroned By Kano State Government by Focusmind: 12:54pm On Mar 09, 2020
They said he is been positioned to succeed Buhari. It is the Northern agenda for him to take over in 2023 being that the man is highly respected and appreciated by the people from the South.

That's what one police man in my client's place just said and that I should watch out for Sanusi in 2023. Sanusi is coming!

Travel › Re: A Person Is Already In UK While Segalink Who Dropped Him Off Is Still In Traffic by Focusmind: 12:41pm On Mar 09, 2020
I am currently doing a work for a client at his company's premises outside Lagos with accommodation for the past three weeks. I am almost done with my mission but the fear of coming back to Lagos is deeply troubling.

My wife has been on my neck to come back as she is missing me. But the comfort I am enjoying in the hotel my client put me, which is a walking distance to his company location is too good to leave and come and face this Lagos wahala.

I have told my wife that I will extend my stay by one more week to have enough rest even my client agreed with me to chill with him in his hotel before returning to Lagos madness.

Lagos is a mess biko, if not the money to be made there smiley
Politics › Re: TCN Explains Electricity Shortage Nationwide by Focusmind: 6:07am On Mar 09, 2020
I intend leaving the national grid by next year ending.

My inverter is serving me but just for 8 to 10 hours without recharge.

By next year, I want to cover the roof top of my house with at least 12 solar panels and increase my batteries to either 6 or 8 depending on finances.

By then, it would be bye bye to blackout (NEPA) and welcome light (Solar).

Oga stop typing nonsense up and down .
I know at least 3 people that were bitten by poisonous snake and they survived !
Anti venom are readily available in most hospitals .
Nigerians and fake news . Eh!
Spreading fake news with so much energy . Abah !
What do you stand to gain ?
You dey mind dem.

Some people are just too shallow minded and some idiots were even quoting me saying that anti venom would have to be produced from that snake. Imagine the reasoning.

Go online and see varieties of anti venom that have been produced from different snakes.

In Plateu and Benue states, where snake bites are high, govt do stuck anti snake venoms in some designated hospitals.
Health › Re: Man Dies After Snake Bite In Umuahia (Graphics Photos) by Focusmind: 6:37am On Mar 08, 2020
supercase1:
U need venom from a particular snake to be able to make an antisnake venom !!!
All the people quoting me on making anti venom shows how shallow minded you guys are.

So when snake bites someone, the person will wait till they extract venom to make anti venom snake?

This is the failure of our universities and research institutions. Overseas, most of venoms from different snake species had already been researched and produced and labelled.

Most times, it is to determine the particular species of snake that bite the person.

Please, you people should read up and watch more of what happens abroad before saying anything.

There are researcher dedicated to snake poisons and have produced anti snake poisons from a variety of snakes.

When a snake victim gets to hospital, he is first stabilised before determining the anti poison to use.

You don't have to extract it from that particular snake at that time as long as you know the species.

Same species of snakes carry the same poison content.
Health › Re: Man Dies After Snake Bite In Umuahia (Graphics Photos) by Focusmind: 6:22pm On Mar 07, 2020
He died because he is a Nigerian and lived in a country with weak health system.

He wouldn't have died if he was a South African or lives there.

When I watch NatGeo wide! I see how dogs are treated of snakes bite talk more of humans.

Our life expectancy in this part of the world is indeed low.

Don't blame those migrating out of Nigeria to Canada and other countries.

Security of life, high life expectancy, good medical care and assured future are the motivation.

Rest In Peace young man. Your nation failed you.
Politics › Re: Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala Meets Ramaphosa, Advisory Council Over South African Economy by Focusmind: 4:13pm On Mar 07, 2020
For your information, she is the head of South Africa's Economic Advisory Council.

She is not just a floor member or just invited. She was made the head by the South African president

Unlike what we have in Nigeria where good brains are made floor members while incompetent ones because of their connections are made chairmen and secretaries.
Politics › Re: 22-Year-Old Ojukwu And His Aunty, Winifred, On His Return From Oxford In 1955 by Focusmind: 8:58am On Mar 06, 2020
Graduated at 22 ! In Nigeria, some people at this age just finished writing their SSCE cheesy

Though, with the advent of the private universities and schools, people are now graduating at 20 and 21 years. That's why most graduate entry level positions that requires maximum of 25 years are been occupied by those from Covenant and other private universities.

But the some sad Nigerian youths will keep on bashing these private universities as "glorified" secondary schools. My client hired 9 trainee engineers after a thorough and grueling recruitment procedure, all came from private universities and abroad.

If you have money, please head to any private and graduate in record time. Age is now a major consideration in lucrative entry job positions and in seeking oversea scholarship.

Travel › Re: How Did You Feel The First Day You Travelled Abroad? by Focusmind: 10:33pm On Mar 03, 2020
It was my travel to UK in 2009 to start my masters program courtesy of PTDF scholarship. Prior to that, I haven't entered plane before.

It was a KLM plane that I boarded that first landed in Amsterdam. I was shocked and that was when I knew that there was so much gap between a developed country and a developing country.

Then from Amsterdam to Aberdeen, as I entered Aberdeen city to my university, I felt ashamed of Nigeria. I started cursing all our past leaders.

See the decency on the road with well marked roads, pedestrian walk ways, traffic light and the beauty of Aberdeen.

I went to a lot of places in Scotland as a student - from Aberdeen, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Fife, Perth, Dundee, St. Andrews and Blairgowrie. All these places were well developed. No place was left out unlike the kind of development we see in Africa where only the country's capital is better developed.

It was an eye opener as I kept wondering why we couldn't replicate the same in Africa.

All regions, villages and towns received the same attention from government.

We are far far behind when compared to Europe. Their ancestors must have made a great sacrifice to build a better society for the future generations.

Here in Nigeria and Africa, current generation care less about the future ones. For their mind, make una come follow us suffer Wetin we suffer.

The heart of a black man is wicked biko.

science is actually assumptions based on facts that's why we call these assumptions hypothesis.so with time and effort through research these assumptions backed with solid facts will become clearly stated...I should actually say tufiakwa to you because if you understand science well you will know it is never wrong to assume
There is no scientific and calculated guess work here. He was just making an un verifiable assumption. How could he have said that the hot weather "may" be responsible.

If you are following up on the corona virus research, you will see outcomes from on going research regarding the impact of heat on the virus.

Doctors in China and World health have also done their own check to see if there is impact of environmental condition on the virus but none came out positive.

Here, you have one doctor in his office using the usual, "may be" to say rubbish.

Also go and believe the current narrative going on that the reason for slow spread of the virus in Africa is because black skin is immune to the virus.

Oga, I like facts, figures, infographics and we'll documented evidence on claims and not "may be."

Nigerian scientists/doctors and engineers and guess work are like 5 & 6

Everything is usually like, "may be this, may be that". No scientific proof. Only assumption. Tufiakwa!
Crime › Re: Lagos State Rescues Boy That Was Severely Beaten By His Mother by Focusmind: 6:18am On Mar 03, 2020
Anger, poverty, frustration and difficult environment like Nigeria are deadly combination.

Poor people should stop having children. I don't know the reason why you should have children when you don't have the means to cater for them.

Having children while poor is adding more trouble and frustration to an already worst situation.

The worst is that you will see them breeding children like rabbits without giving a thought on how to turn them into a decent human being.

Most of all these children will later turn out to be a menace to the society.
