 Travel › Re: My Experience At The Jos Wildlife Park (photos) by Focusmind: 1:02pm On Jun 20, 2019 |
I keep on saying this, our standards are terribly low in this country. "Leave am like that mentality" in everything we do. We spend hard currencies to visit zoos in Kenya, South Africa and Botswana and see how healthy the animals are, the natural beauty of the zoo itself. People around the world visit Kenya's park and zoo and the country makes millions of dollars. Nigeria's problem has defied all solutions. I am sure government is making yearly annual budgetary subvention to the park but the management will never use it for something good but only to loot the money. 3 Likes 1 Share |

| Travel › Re: Visa Denials For Nigerians Increased In 2018 - US Data Reveal by Focusmind: 9:11am On Jun 20, 2019 |
My concern is the huge money they are making from Nigerians. Visa fee alone is more than the entire internally generated revenue of the South East and North East combined. It is high time United Nations and other developing country sponsor a proposal in the UN general assembly for taxing of diplomatic and consular services. Developed world are reaping off on the developing countries through all these visa and other consular services. If you see the amount UK makes from Indian on visa fees, you will be shocked. Please let government tax embassies on visa fee income biko. 1 Like |

Bubu is no more paying humongous and fraudulent subsidies like they paid under Jonathan. Moreover, his friend, Dangote is set to dominate the downstream when his refineries comes on stream by end of 2020. They must have discussed and in order not to have issues with his friend, he cashed out fast and exited the downstream. 5 Likes |

Nigeria politicians!!! Tufiakwa!!! See the man Wailers and youths are dying for - is this the type of structure and hospital he is going to give to Kogi people? Some will come here to defend him saying it is not his responsibility. Nigeria politicians are just too selfish and petty when it comes to provision of public goods. They lower the standards so much. Compare this thatched housed with his private residence, I am not saying that this should be same with his private residence but at least anything worth doing is worth doing well. One of his cars can comfortably build a good ICT and not this rubbish here. This is why our standards are just too low in this country. Children and uninformed youths will see this and like it thinking that it is the best. When they grow and become contractors, they will be giving the people this kind of structure since that was what they were exposed to. 4 Likes |
| Health › Re: June 19, World Sickle Cell Day by Focusmind: 7:53am On Jun 19, 2019 |
My sympathy and support to all carriers of this blood anomaly. May almighty God continue to grant you the courage and stamina to carry on. I feel and share in your pain and discomfort and witnessed close relatives and friends died because of this sickle-cell anemia. Being a carrier of this sickle cell in a country with poor health care support could be discomforting and unforgiving. My prayers and thoughts are with you people today. Rest in peace Femi, Nnabuike and Frank - You all fought a great battle to live, but the devastation and poor health facilities in our country were just overwhelmingly bad for you guys. Sleep on - We all love you guys. 12 Likes 1 Share |

How do people get courage to post this kind of sad news about their misfortune on the internet? Why not just mourn and move on. Let it be known by close relatives and friends.

We are just too backwards in this country. Our standards are terribly low. See a training pitch, probably owned by a hotel or local county and see how neat and well maintained. Nigerian mentality of poor maintenance culture is so glaring in all sectors and areas of our life. We go abroad and see how neat the streets are, how orderly things are and how well maintained the national and public places look and take selfie and pictures and post online to form posh and informed, yet the place we are coming from is nothing more than a ghetto. 1 Like |

Op, as for th UK wanting to pay you different from what they pay commensurate position in UK is not that bad. Companies operating across borders pay staff based on the return from each country. A receptionist in UK may be earning £25k but this amount may be considered too much in Nigeria because the Nigerian subsidiary may not be profitable enough to afford to pay such in Nigeria 4 Likes |

Why are they afraid of Gbaja? Those contesting with him should test their popularity in the contest. Federal High Court said he is free to contest and did not find him guilty. Why are people against him? But wetin I know sef. This is Nigeria. Everybody na criminal according to Falze.

I pity the citizen of this country, especially the stupid youths on Nairaland. Even if you hate Atiku, think of the wider implication of shutting down a TV station. A dangerous precedent is being set. People are not seeing that. Their own is that since it is Buhari, it is Ok. Imagine Trump shutting CNN because of the criticisms he gets from CNN. I am not supporting any party before some people starts insulting me and defending their corrupt politicians. 2 Likes |

Nigerians will keep running to UK universities thinking that it will guarantee them job only to be disappointed after spending millions of Naira. UK universities are somehow a scam to me. No benefit, once you are done, they ask you to leave yet thousands of Nigeria's wealthy will be falling over themselves to go and study for nothing, just to be abroad. It is those that sell all their properties or use all their savings that I pity most. I respect the Chinese lady for this act of bravely. 25 Likes 1 Share |

Always drive when you are in good state of mind. I avoid driving when not in good mood or something has happened. There were times I left my car in the office and took public transport home if not in a good mood or office don do me something that got me upset so that my thoughts of the events doesn't disturb me why driving. Likewise if not happy why leaving home or something happened, I leave my car at home and take public transport to office or to wherever.

| Politics › Re: Cody Murray Bruce: Ben Bruce Son, Graduates From High School by Focusmind: 8:38pm On Jun 02, 2019 |
Very soon, the politician and the wealthy will be training their kids in primary schools abroad. When I was young, the rich mostly sent their kids abroad for masters. Gradually, they started sending for undergraduate. Currently, some have taken It to the next level to train their kids in secondary schools abroad. Very soon, it will now be primary school. It equally shows the lost of confidence in the Nigerian system and some little prestige. |
| Business › Re: Naira - Dollar Exchange Rate From 1972 Till Date by Focusmind: 12:15pm On May 31, 2019 |
This simply shows how far Nigeria has depreciated over time both as a country and in human capacity development. Compare the economies of Singapore, South Korea, Malaysia, India and Vietnam that started the same development race with Nigeria in the 50's and where they are now. I fear for the future generation and this lend credence to why Nigerians are moving out of the country in droves. Things seems to be regressing at an alarming rate. |
