PoliticsRe: Pendulum: The Message Nigerians Must Deliver To Buhari Next Week by Focusmind: 7:38am On Feb 10, 2019
He got it wrong when he said he was off to Oxford university next week. Which means he wasn't ready to vote yet you are earning for change.

This is a problem with Nigerians. You want change and yet not voting
PoliticsRe: Nairaland 2019 Presidential Election Poll: Voting Thread by Focusmind: 6:24am On Feb 09, 2019
Buhari supporters are not online. They are on the streets. In Nigeria, those with streets support wins elections.

Those with online supporters do not win because most online voters do not have voters card.
EducationRe: #11 Million Tuition Per Year : Meet American International School, Lagos by Focusmind: 9:35pm On Feb 08, 2019
pansophist:
As someone that studied in one of the top 100 best university in the world, I can confirm this. Honestly, I don't think I learnt anything special, it's more on the prestige and powerful network that I still cultivate from unto this day.

Also, attending such schools gives a certain kind of confidence, the deep seated feeling that you're competent and won't be assumed not to be. And to have global friends, being invited to high end events and benefits from being the early bird to be notified of deals and opportunities. The benefit is huge.

Like the old saying, your network is your net worth. With such a diverse community spanning from top-notch individuals in entertainment and diplomacy, businessmen to lawyers, the money is a merger in the long run. Most likely, those kids ain't graduating to look for jobs, but to manage companies of their parents or build theirs, with the convenient of such powerful network.
I learnt this first from a Colleague when we were recruited as management trainees around 2006. The guy went and paid for an expensive accommodation in a high brow Ikoyi. It was a self-contained though.

After 9months, he joined a multinationals company. One of the top ogas stays in the same estate with him and they connected.

It was when he was about leaving us that he told me the reason behind his paying that huge sum for a self contained in Ikoyi, which we thought was stupid of him but he had his reason.

As someone mentioned here, your network determines your networth
EducationRe: #11 Million Tuition Per Year : Meet American International School, Lagos by Focusmind: 8:33am On Feb 08, 2019
If I have the means, I will send my kids there.

People don't look at the monetary cost but the non-quantifiable benefits.

Your kids will build a powerful network that will come handy later in life. I know what I am saying.

You as a parent will build a network with other parents that will come handy.

only poor people will see the money as waste but business minded parents will always see opportunity

A couple that delayed picking their kids from school on time were bared from taking care of those kids for a complete year in Finland.

Government told them that they have observed them and that they have been consistent in not coming on time to pick up their kids.

PoliticsRe: Why Buhari Didn’t Ask Voters To Back APC Candidates In Imo — Presidency by Focusmind: 10:28am On Jan 31, 2019
Buhari seems sympathetic to Rochas - Left to him, he would tell the crowd to vote for Rochas's candidate, Uche Nwosu.

Buhari, through history, hardly turns his back on his avow supporter. Whether the supporter is misbehaving, Buhari will keep defending the person.

His heart seems to still be with Rochas for all the support the man gave him in the South East when Rochas was undisputedly, the mouth piece of Buhari in the South East.

Rochas was flying with Buhari in presidential jet up and down and seems to enjoy the comfort and confidence of Mr. President before Oshimole came and scattered the whole thing.
CareerRe: There Is Nothing Wrong With A 9-5 Job by Focusmind: 6:06pm On Jan 28, 2019
My people, there is nothing wrong with 9-5 or 8-4 jobs. People have left their well paying jobs to dabble into their so called passion and got burnt big time.

Nigeria business climate could be so unforgiving when it comes to starting business. A lot of huddles to cross. Those without adequate capital and support base will regret it. I have seen it all, though I have not experienced it myself but from people's experience.

If you are working in a decent company and you are happy, please maintain yourself there. If the passion to start something becomes too much, set it up as a side hustle. When the side hustle starts earning income equivalent to your monthly salary or cover your basic monthly expenditures with some disposal income left, then you could decide to quite or better still run both concurrently.

I REPEAT AND I REPEAT AGAIN!!, Do not QUIT your job till your side hustle starts earning substantial income.
CareerRe: Advise Needed:msc In Toxicology And Environmental Biochemistry by Focusmind: 5:47pm On Jan 28, 2019
You have 2.1. Source for scholarship overseas. Honestly, the chances of you getting employed in this discipline in Nigeria is remote. The country is not developed and the productive capacity of Nigeria is seriously hindered.

If you finish this type of course overseas, you will be in hot demand. There are bodies dedicated to environmental sustainability, multibillion dollar companies, government and united nations agencies, research institutions and agric sectors that could absorb you. But certainly, not in Nigeria.

The course is also within the STEM categories and there would be organizations committed to funding your research.

Aim towards furthering your studies abroad if you could afford it.

Lol, her lecturer also did her dirt.

I have come to a conclusion in my mind that Nigerian lecturers are one of the most wicked set of people you can ever come across. Wicked, inconsiderate set of sadists.
Very bunch of inconsiderate and unintelligent fellows. Yet they will be forming over sabi. If you happen to school abroad, you will hate Nigerian lecturers. In Uk, if you see how renowned Professors and scholars relates with their students in terms of academics, you will know that Nigerian Lecturers are just sadists.

Always playing god and forming super intelligent yet have nothing to offer.

Kai. This is capable of sending one into an emergency room in a hospital.

My sympathies to the victim.
Totally correct - I witnessed it first hand in Amuwo Odofine. The old man on getting there just collapsed and they rushed him to Isolo General Hospital. He pee inside the sienna that carried him to the general hospital.

I don't wish this to my worst enemy. To build house in this country is not a joke talk more after building with all the stress and hustle, the building is demolished.

CelebritiesRe: Dj Cuppy Acquires A Brand New Specially Built Rolls Royce (Photos) by Focusmind: 10:20am On Jan 25, 2019
My concern is not even the car and the spoon-fed Cuppy but the beautiful interlocking and well paved work and drive way.

Oyibo and finishing!. Attention to details in artisan works is always topnotch. Give Sheriff or Kazeem interlocking job to do, he would do rubbish. The company that molded the interlocking will pack sand full every where.

By one month, one side of the interlocking will go down while the other side will be up. After three month, weeds and unwanted grasses will take over the whole place.

our standards are simply too low in this country. " Leave am like that mentality" is killing detailing in artistic works.

Labour should fight this nonsense. How can you put an age limit of 24 years for people with Bsc and NYSC. This is an injustice that must be fought. What is the minister of labour doing about this
You people should continue hating on those attending private universities, calling them all sorts of names. Average age of graduation in private university is 21 and some graduate at 20.

Go to entry level recruitment of top consulting firms, multinationals and banks, greater numbers are from private universities and the rest from universities abroad. I tell you from experience.

I sorry for products of Nigerian public universities. The world have left you behind.
CelebritiesRe: Simi Shares Photos From Honeymoon In Cape Town by Focusmind: 10:02am On Jan 23, 2019
Honestly, my country Nigeria is a sinking Shithole. You hardly see very beautiful vacation spots. When you travel abroad, you will be wondering the kind of leadership we have in Nigeria.

Go to Southern Africa countries of Botswana, Zimbabwe and Namibia. You will be marveled at the beauty and development that has taken place there to attract tourists even though those countries are classified as very poor. The basic things like descent environment and proper infrastructure are there and well taken care of by government.

Every rich Nigerian travels abroad and snap pictures of beautiful places and come back to the ghetto and continue his or her hustling.

Nigeria, a country where money is made and not to be spent!
SportsRe: Efe, Steven and Bright Sodje Jailed For Fraud by Focusmind: 7:04pm On Jan 21, 2019
In once instance, in 2011, there was a gala dinner at the Lowry Hotel in Manchester for the SSF and the Royal Manchester Children's Hospital.

The £150-a-head black-tie event raised almost £11,500, but Mr Christopher said "not a penny" went to the hospital.

Judge Michael Topolski QC told the defendants: "You have brought shame upon yourselves and your family."

He said "at least £63,000 can been shown to have been received by the fund", and added that this did not include cash donations.

The defendants "went out of their way" to ensure that proper records were not kept, he said.

Any good works done in the past would be "forever tainted by their dishonest and disreputable conduct", he added.


I always like the way British reporters report news and how their lawyers analyses criminal activities.

Nawao, loan from Juventus to AC Milan and now loan from AC Milan to Chelsea. Before the season end, it would be loan from Chelsea to Fulham.

Being sent on loan shows that you are surplus to requirement. Sarri should have looked at Argentine or Brazilian league. There are sharp and deadly strikers there than this aging Higuan

Poor decision from Sarri. In Chelsea now, anything other than Morata is acceptable.

To sum it up.. It is still on overpopulation issue
It is still not overpopulation. I hope you understood what population demographic structure is? As someone earlier pointed out in the thread, they do not want their future children to grow up with migrants or your own children. Czech can comfortably cater for all these Nigerians and other migrants. But the fact that they do not share the same culture, race and origin with the Czech makes it even worse.

There are a lot of Europeans living in Czech but they are not concerned since those people are Europeans and have similarity with them. It all boils down to race and racism. You may like a person, not that the person is exceptional or intelligent but because both of you share certain characteristics in common.

Likewise, you may not like a person even though the person may be the smartest and good but you people do not share things and certain characteristics. You will always feel happy and contented with the person you share certain characteristics. RACISM & NEPOTISM
