TravelRe: Lagos Traffic- Life Inside The World's Worst Traffic Jam by Focusmind: 2:41pm On Aug 03, 2019
It is terrible. I am going into full time consulting by end of 2020. God help me. I want to take full control of my life and health.

I can't continue with 8 - 5 madness in Lagos. The impact of the accumulated stress would be felt more in your old age not now for those that will get to old age anyway.

I use my people that have retired as an example. Most of them are suffering from one debilitating disease or another.

1. Nigerians are most intelligent immigrants in the US. Search in Google its there, not one of the most intelligent, we are the most intelligent immigrants.

2. 60% of Nigerians in US have college degrees. This is far above d American national average of 30%.

3. A Nigerian family in the UK have officially named the Imafedon family are the smartest family in UK

4. The world fastest supercomputer was designed by a world renowned inventor and scientist. Philip Emeagwali a full blown Nigerian who's patency was awarded in 2015.

5. The designer of the famous car, Chevrolet Volt, Jelani Aliyu is a super talented Nigerian from Sokoto state.

6. Nigerians in US are one of the highest earners typically earning 25% more than median US income of $53k.

7. In ivy league schools in US and Europe Nigerians out rightly outshine their peers from other nations.

8. The wealthiest black( Aliko Dangote) man and the third richest black woman( Folorunsho Alakija) on earth are Nigerians with no traces of criminal records.

9. Before there was street lights in the European cities, the ancient kingdom of Benin had street lights fueled by palm oil.

10. 500 years ago Benin casted metal alloys to create magnificent art including the world famous queen Ida mask.

11. We gave monetary gifts to Ireland during our oil boom, built a statue for France for free.

12. The first television station in Africa was NTA IBADAN (1960) long before Ireland got their first RTE station.

GOD BLESS THE MOST POPULOUS BLACK NATION ON EARTH. AMEEN.
So what is the intention of these sermon about how great Nigeria and Nigerians is/are? Please lets stop all these first these, first that. The truth is that we are still backwards and primitive in behavior in this country.

Leave Nigerians abroad and focus on the ones inside Nigeria. Some of them abroad do not even reckon being a Nigerian. We should squarely tackle our problems and focus on development.

46,000 people applied for a job of about 2,500 and you are saying this. Honestly, I pity the future generation. At the current rate of governance, I doubt if they would be able to have the current little opportunity we even have now.

Nigerians in their droves are migrating and leaving this country. As at today, Nigerians ranked 3rd, just behind India and China in the Canada Federal Skill Express Migrant Program. This tells you that people are fed up with the current situation and can no longer guarantee a better future for their unborn kids
BusinessRe: Anambra Traders Ban Prayers In Markets by Focusmind: 1:47pm On Aug 01, 2019
Good one! Nigeria and prayers. We always pray without doing the right thing.

Most of our prayer requests centers on our man -made challenges that ordinarily, Our corrupt government should provide for us but we leave the government and face God.

I lived abroad for few years and found out that their prayer intentions are entirely different from ours.

This one’s marriage crashed last month and she’s already inside Bbnaija house? Lol there’s something going on that we don’t know
Bro, all the house mates are deliberately creating controversies around themselves. The more controversial you are, the more fans, more followership and the more people would want to know what is going on in your life.

Sometimes, you have to be controversial to trend and become a celebrity. The alleged breakup may not be true but to spice up her profile and attract followership.

Nigerian lecturers, always playing and forming god. See how the students are just loyal because he could make or mar their future without being questioned.

If you see how students and lecturers discuss projects and dissertations abroad, you would know that we are just too backwards.

Signing a student project is never a favour but here in Nigerian, lecturers see themselves as gods.

Nigerian architects and interior designers can never replicate this kind of simple design. A typical rich man home in Nigeria would have 8 sofas with gigantic dinning table and chairs. Block works every where with no innovation.

Always the same design with thick curtains and poor light combination. Our architects needs to up their game.

See how simple the house looks with nice ambience. Once you see abroad house, you go know immediately no matter how simple.

Homes abroad radiates simplicity and ambience.
CelebritiesRe: Interior Of Peter Okoye's Home In Atlanta (Photos) by Focusmind: 6:54am On Jul 30, 2019
Nigerian celebrities are expert in showing off their successes for their poverty-stricken fans to saliva te. This is also common with the well to do in Nigeria.

I am sure some rich people in Nigeria wouldn't want the life of the poor to be improved so that they will continue to enjoy the praises and the respect the poor gives to them.

Over here abroad, nobody cares.

Bro, stand up comedy go fit you - sell some of your joke ideas to the comedians and make money. Some people make money in UK like that . They sell some joke ideas to some talented and well know comedians. You could have added picture or one meme on this to show how MTN go de look you as you purchased a new sim card. I could not stop laughing.

May be this meme will help show how MTN go de smile de look you as put your sim for phone

PoliticsRe: (breaking News) US Imposes Visa Ban On Nigeria Politicians by Focusmind: 9:37am On Jul 24, 2019
Nigerians and their ignorance! You think US will ban Nigerian politicians from coming to spend money in their country? This is a decoy to continue to deny genuine Nigerian visas. They are always coming up with reasons on the astronomical increase in the number of visa denial.

No politician have ever been denied visa because they know that politicians will still come back to Nigeria to continue their politicking. It is the common people that will be denied on a flimsy excuses.

The parents are thinking that I was actually the one that got the job for their son and they are concern about the place that's why they are always asking me questions.

She lacks wisdom. Why fix your wedding on the same day your masters exam is to take place? I am sure she didn't read for the exam and will go there looking for who to copy from.
Please spare her. Nigerian university system could be so unforgiven. I am sure she must have factored in that but the sudden change in date by the university must have made it impracticable for her to change her own date.
University system that could just wake up and fix post UME in one week time.

In 2015, UNILAG post graduate secretary sent us a notice of PhD interview within 2 weeks. Wedding is always fixed weeks in advance.

The post is in Damboa - I don't where that is located in the North East. Life may be more important than money at certain point.

* Why was Goje's ₦25 billion corruption case dropped?

* Who owns Ikoyi billions?

* When will @AishaMBuhari's ADC be tried?

* Who reinstated Maina?

* When will NNPC $25 billion scandal be investigated?

Jokers
Oga, leave those ones and lets focus on the positive. Agreed that all the things you mentioned are correct, let the next government fight corruption and recover them. But for this, I totally support it. I hope VON will be able to maintain that edifice. Nigerian government institutions lacks maintenance culture. That's why their buildings stinks and always in a dilapidated state. I would have preferred the building sold to a private sector person and the money use to fund community cottage hospitals and schools that will affect the masses directly than giving it to a government agency.

odave:
That's why it's better to always collect loan as a bank worker, I'm sure they won't attempt sack during the repayment period. I may be wrong sha. I have a friend there, I don't even know the best advice I can give him.
If you are a banker and you fail to take up loan because you don't like debt, you are own your own. It is an opportunity for you to set up your side hustle business or build your own house depending on your level. If they sack you, at least you have achieved something. But if you are afraid of loan and you are sacked, that one na double jeopardy.

Make use of every opportunity your place of work offers you. Either an opportunity to learn, train yourself, borrow money from the company and others.
PoliticsRe: Lagos Revenue In 2018 Was Higher Than That Of The Entire South-East - NEITI by Focusmind: 10:18am On Jul 11, 2019
Next thing now is that the idiotic youths will not question how the massive revenue have been used but to start insulting themselves over, ' our own revenue big pass your own". This is what the thread will turn into. It is not about what your region have generated or received but the quality of life of people living there.

We should focus more on economic development rather than economic growth. Economic development is about human capacity development and standard of living why economic growth is about growth in numbers - GDP and so on.

They are under the influence of Diamond Bank. Women calls shot during Uzoma Dozie's rein. Since the merger with Diamond Bank, all the women's products in Diamond Bank migrated to Access Bank.

But honestly, this their merger was top-notch. The best I have ever seen. The branding and convergence is superb. Access practically adopted the Diamond Colors and it looks really cool. Even Diamond Bank staff were begged to stay but since Diamond had one of the best highly-skilled personnel in the banking sector, a lot of them were able to take position in other banks and companies.

There was no story of staff being laid off - Seamless and hassle free merger - kudos to the two teams.
