Politics › Re: Buhari Appointment Of Charles Soludo Makes Me Believe He Means Well For Nigeria by Focusmind: 7:59am On Sep 17, 2019
Lush100:
Soludo is one of the best brains as far as understanding the economics dynamics of a nation.
but making him just a member....you will not get anything from him ...no no no.
i will rather have him chair that forum..so that he can implement his ideas without hitch and if they are rejected , he will come out to say his ideas were rejected.

its better not to include Soludo if u just want to make him a contributor.
OBJ tenor was the sweetest as far as employment is concerned(i can say that anywhere anytime any-day)
That's one thing a lot of Nigerians have not understood about OBJ tenure. Graduate employment reached a record level ever seen in decades.

I witnessed it well, writing a lot of aptitude tests, cutting across banks, multinationals and oil and gas. Some companies were even going to UK for recruitment of Nigerians.

Today, everything has dried up. Even politicians are seeking and begging for jobs for their kids that they spent thousands of dollars in training abroad.

My friend from Anambra said that Soludo should decline the offer and focus on his governorship ambition under APGA.

He has been pencilled down to take over from Obiano.

Accepting this offer will see him as a member of APC, and it would be difficult for him to seek for APGA ticket again neither will APC give him ticket.

He should maintain with his APGA and try his luck again for governor of Anambra which is his main ambition.
Travel › Re: Two Dead, As Container Falls On Car In Lagos [photo] by Focusmind: 2:23pm On Sep 16, 2019
I rather follow containers behind than to drive by its side - avoid side driving with containers, just follow it jejely - it may be slow in moving but just relax , better to arrive late than to be late.

Nigeria's environment is very unforgiving - deaths rocking in all sides. Ask those relocating abroad the reason, one is for the future of their children and second is insecurity in the land.

The insecurity in this country is too much. Insecurity is not only when you are killed by arm robbers or kidnappers - insecurity in bad roads, organized chaos we have in our cities, gun wielding and drunk policemen, articulated vehicle plying without control, just name them.

Some Customer Service People in Nigeria could be so annoying - Robots may even do a better job than been attended to by one disgruntled folk.

It would take like decades for the technology to be viable in Nigeria. So, Customer Service people, don't worry, your job is still secured.

Each of girls resembles their respective Dad. Dangote daughter is a replica.
Career › Re: Chevening Scholarship Or A N240k Job? by Focusmind: 7:20am On Sep 15, 2019

Hello house,
Please I need you people candid opinions too. I am in the same situation with the first writer. I just secured a scholarship to go to Australia to study Renewable Energy Management.
I am currently working with monthly take home of around #240k.
The condition attached to the scholarship is that you must come back to develop your country for at least two years, after that you can be given opportunity to apply for PR or do any other things in Australia.
Please can I take up the scholarship or just forget about it and continue with my work in Nigeria.
It is a tough call bro. As some one that studied abroad, getting a professional job is always difficult. You are competing with the locals.

Forget the people that tells you that it is easy. They have not been abroad before. I have someone that had this your same issue. But his own was in Greece, sponsored by a Greek company in Nigeria.

When the guy came back to Nigeria after the masters , no job. He stayed 13 months before getting something, not that it was in a multinational.

You can not trade your job in Nigeria, especially the one that pays that kind of salary. It may be small but quite huge in Nigeria's standard.

Your sponsor have already given you condition but the Nigeria's renewable energy sector is not developed. Definitely, you can't get job in that space but may be in another area.

How sure that your return back and the PR will be successful in Australia? If you are sure of this last question, give it a trial.
Agriculture › Re: The Automated Coscharis Rice Mill, Igbariam, Anambra State (Photos) by Focusmind: 6:11pm On Sep 13, 2019
Stupid tribal and ethnic bigots fighting over irrelevant issues. Must you guys ethnicsize every issue?

All these Igbo chest beaters, note that Coscharis doesn't know about your existence. You don't even dare to near that factory if you don't have any dealership business there.

Why insult and curse other ethnic nationality because of one investment? Same with other bigots from other tribes.

Instead of celebrating this kind of thing, we start insulting one another. Can we ever see something from the angle of humanity instead of these ethnic bigotry and stupid rivalry.

I have already concluded that all these bigots are mostly very poor people and job seekers. Those that have made it live above these petty issues and move with folks from other tribe more.

Go to Coscharis head office in Lagos, majority of staff are Yorubas and some of his GMs are Yorubas. He doesn't give a Bleep about your ethnicity and some low life people are here claiming rubbish.

Near that factory claiming Igbo make Mopol no wipe your ass.
Travel › Re: Italian Region Of Molise Paying People ₦10M To Move There (photos) by Focusmind: 2:11pm On Sep 12, 2019
This is very common in most European countries.

Young people don't stay in country side any more. Only the old people who later die and the whole community will just be empty. Someone was asking if they are not procreating, that's not the concern of a white man. He or she wants to enjoy his or her life.

President Victor Orban of Hungary wants to start paying couples (married or not) money to start having children and extending maternity leave to 2 years with full pay. His country's population is going down drastically and he has refused to accept migrants into his country.

He said that in as much as he wants his country to be populated, he does not want it to be populated by immigrants, people that he does not share the same value with.

Canadian immigration process is an attempt to populate the vast country. That's why they are doing this there federal skilled immigrant program. For those that wants to leave, please look for this program as a lot of people have benefited and migrated.

The Canadian migration program have brought in many Nigerians to Canada. Just like when we were in Sugarland, Houston, it was as if it was VI extension.

Travel › Re: 187 Nigerians Return, South Africa Employs Rules To Stop Others by Focusmind: 8:23am On Sep 12, 2019
They will still return. I know a guy, 33 year old, told me that coming back to Nigeria to do what exactly. His business was completely burnt but he still prefer to stay as he still has access to decent meal and accommodation.

He is currently staying with his 19 year old South African girl, who works as a desk officer in a top hotel in J'burg.

He confidently told me that more than half of Nigerians would not return to Nigeria but would rebuild their businesses here. Those returning are just taking advantage of the free evacuation provided by the government to touch home.

His girl friend would raise some capital for him to start afresh somewhere in the city again.

This somehow shows the hopelessness back home. Things are really difficult here and breaking even is even more difficult.

That's why some Nigerians would rather die abroad than return to hopelessness and brick future.

Foreign Affairs › Re: Bolton Speaks On Being Sacked As Trump's National Security Adviser by Focusmind: 7:28pm On Sep 10, 2019
You don't offer to resign. You resign immediately once you have made up your mind.

Don't give your employer room to fire you. Once you cock that gun, you must shoot. No amount of pleading from your employer should make you to drop the gun once you have cocked it.

If you eventually drop the gun and agreed with your employer, he would simply pick up the gun later and blast your fucking head.

Trump is a smart guy. The poor Bolton told him he wanted to resign and Trump stylishly said " let's talk about it tomorrow". He stylishly delayed it so that he would fire him

Employers and bosses will always prefer to fire employee than the employee firing the employer.

As a worker or employee, ensure that you are always the one "firing" your employer. Don't ever allow your company to fire you. It would always be a dent on your career.

For your information, when you resign and move on to something else, you have "fired" your employer in your life.

Very selfish man - He did nothing during the few days he stayed in the last senate Chamber. Wearing his long red cap to confused his stupid people and supporters who were thinking that he was fighting for them.

He always try to profess his love for the Igbos more than himself, yet had done nothing to better the interest of his people.

People always achieve their goals early in developed countries.

I am still imagining the mentality of my 19 year old nephew.

See this 19 year old teen and imagine when she started chasing her dreams.

Africa and Nigeria"s environment does not give room for early starting in life.

Most noticeable achievement starts from early 30s
Politics › Re: AfDB: President Ouattara Appoints Adama Koné To Work For Adesina's Re-election by Focusmind: 10:08am On Sep 07, 2019
I wished this man could be allowed to run Nigeria fully.

Nigeria's system does not allow talented people to perform and the political system doesn't give room for technocrats to seek elective position.

The man started the Agriculture and rice revolution under GEJ before Buhari's government nominated him for the AFDB job.

He should be the APC/PDP consensus candidate in 2023.

He understands development and agricultural economics very well which is the bedrock of development for emerging economies.
Business › Re: Access Bank’s First Post-merger H1 PBT Hits N74.1bn, Declares 25k Interim Divide by Focusmind: 7:11pm On Sep 06, 2019
Retail banking contribution to overall gross earning is about 29%, an increase of 92% from 2018.

The impact of the merger with Diamond bank, a retail banking leader just made manifest.

The merger strengthened the Access retail banking group and its IT position.

Merger is good for the other party to complete you.

That's why young men and women should select carefully marriage partners that will strengthen their areas of weakness and not just be complaining.

When your partner has strength in your area of weakness and you are good in her area of weakness, both of you will surely succeed.
Politics › Re: Xenophobia: What AU Should Do To South Africa – Atiku Abubakar by Focusmind: 9:06am On Sep 03, 2019
Luvlyna:
Do you know why SA can confidently do the sh*t they do, it's because they've seen a country so divided among themselves internally that they can barely stay united and speak with one voice against foreign attacks.
And to think some retards here on nairaland are saying the Nigerians there are just from a particular tribe, shows how low we've gone as a country. As a matter of fact, Nigeria can no longer be called a country if a fellow countryman can say sh*t about his own countryman in the full view of other nationals.
Nigeria will continue to be volatile to foreign attacks in other countries if we continue to be disunited. The world is watching, let the retards, tribalists and olodos take note of that
I am sorry to say this but I have totally lost hope in the unity of this country. The way the country is so divided is so upsetting. Take a cursory look at the comments on Nairaland, you will weep for this country and its future. Any house that is not united is bound to fall before the enemy.

Most countries are aware of this disunity in Nigeria and that's why they are messing up the citizens, knowingly fully well that the country can never be united.

Sadly, the current president is not helping matters in strengthening the bond of unity.

It is only the poor, the weak and the ignorant that I sympathize for and not the youths and the traders that rejected core professionalism and competence and voted for crudity and incompetence.

They should reap what they sowed. Nigerians should know that elections has consequences.

They will never choose wisely, but will rather allow some mundane things like religion, tribe and sentiments to be cloud their sense of reasoning.

We always vote for incompetent people and expect the country to progress.

Nairaland General › Re: Snake Nearly Entered A Friend's House by Focusmind: 2:04pm On Aug 27, 2019
My concern is not even the killing of the snake but the place where the OP is staying. Bro, I am not trying to mock you but the living condition of Nigerians are nothing to write home about. Nigerian homes reflect the poverty and under - development of the country.

If the picture above is where you stay, we are still far from having an average house/home standard in this country. It is not your fault but the fault of the system that have woefully failed to provide decent accommodation for her citizens, especially those at the lower lungs of the society.

Council flats and poor people homes abroad are far more neater and habitable than most shacks we have in Nigeria. Yet, our youths will come online and insult themselves on top politician matter. OP, I hope you are not part of those supporting our corrupt politicians and fighting for them.
Education › Re: Minimum Requirements Of Becoming A Professor In Nigeria by Focusmind: 10:56am On Aug 27, 2019
In Nigeria University, Professorship role is a 'political" appointment. Once you are in the good books of the current VC and have your doctorate degree, professorship don sure pass for you if you continue to lick the ass of the VC.

Once a VC is appointed, next is to elevate his loyalists to the rank of a professor. It is very common in Nigeria Universities. How many of them have contributed anything significant to the body of knowledge? How many have collaborated with foreign professors to design and produce something that significantly altered the status quo? How many of them have single handedly or jointly solved any pressing developmental challenges in Nigeria?

Go to US Universities and see research in motion and innovation in action.

As for my kids, US universities sure pass - they are too innovative and research minded and receive huge funding.

Johns Hopkins University accepts few PhD students and pay them handsomely. There must be a pressing human challenges before you are offered admission in that university for you to carry out a research and produce a result that will be patented.

Tribalism aside, Women from the East and maid!!! Must you always treat other people's children like scum.

Treat your maid very well and she will in turn be the best of friend to your kids. This is my strategy and it is working very well. I supervise her assignment the way I supervise that of my kids. You can hardly differentiate her from my kids as she dresses well and looks good. The only disadvantage is that all the small small bad boys within the neigbourhood are now toasting her because she always looks good.

I don't entertain any concern at all about leaving her with my kids. People think that she is my wife's sister. Maids are people's children and most importantly, they are human as well.

We are very wicked in this part of the world. The poor girl must have been taken away from her poor parents somewhere in Abakiliki and her mum would be thinking that her daughter is having fun where she is.
