CrimeRe: Two Feared Killed As Auchi Poly Students' Signing Out Party Turns Bloody ‎ by Focusmind: 6:31am On Sep 19, 2025
TheBizGenius:
I agree with you.

In modern day psychology terms, it is called the "broken windows theory", which states that if small signs of disorder (like graffiti on the walls, broken windows, trash lying around) are ignored, people will move on to bigger and more daring vices.

This is the reason why the first thing developed nations do is to make the environment beautiful as it lowers crime because the psyche of the average residents become beautiful too. Weird, I know but it's just the way humans are wired.

Thank you for observing this too.
You are intelligent!!!

I take environment seriously. My house is a small house but the compound is full of nature - flowers and plants.

See the front of the school sef. undecided

Nigeria and Nigerians do not know that environment is everything. People tends to behave in a way and manner their immediate physical environments looks like. This is the reason why those in ghettos, dirty and squalid environments behaves untrained.
EducationRe: Abia State University Hostels New Look (Before & After) by Focusmind: 7:49pm On Sep 18, 2025
Nigerian students would still mess up the place. Many Nigerians have the "I don care" attitude once they make use of public facilities. Some would poopoo in the toilet and use their dirty hands to stain the walls.
EducationRe: FG Reintroduces Nigerian History As Compulsory Subject In Schools by Focusmind: 11:54am On Sep 18, 2025
It is going to be a watered-down version that they are going to teach them. There are whole lots of divergent views on some important part of the history that may not be taught because of the divergent views held by different people regarding that particular issue in the history of Nigeria
PoliticsRe: Chinese Investors Team Up On Governor Alia To Revive Oil Palm Production by Focusmind: 4:07pm On Sep 16, 2025
3 years from now, you won't even hear anything about this project again. It would die a natural death. I fear Nigerian politicians and their supporters. See how the so called investors and the special assistant were looking. Don't take Nigerian politicians serious.
Foreign AffairsRe: Jo'burg Street That Exploded In 2023 Finally Refurbished, Reopened (Video, Pics) by Focusmind: 7:53pm On Sep 14, 2025
When you travel outside Nigeria, you will begin to understand how corruption has under developed the country in all segments of Nigeria. Our standards in this country are terribly low. Sadly, those standards are being celebrated regularly by corrupt politicians and their supporters. Make no mistake about this: our national infrastructure is nothing to write home about compared to our contemporaries around the world. I have been to Europe, Canada, US and Southern Africa, Southern Africa countries are miles ahead of other parts of Africa in terms of infrastructural development

The acceptance rate is even encouraging. People on asylum in Canada seems to enjoy more privileges than the real hustlers, waiting for PR.
CrimeRe: Boyfriend Of Taraba Student Found Dead Hours After Girlfriend Dies In His House by Focusmind: 9:46pm On Sep 13, 2025
I don't know why it is difficult for ladies, especially young girls to walk out from abusive relationships. Is it that they fear that they me be unable to get another man or that their friends would make mockery of them, making some if them to stay put? This is very common among young girls from poor backgrounds. The fear of losing the little materials benefits in the relationship always makes them to stay put, even when their supposedly boyfriend is a monster.

SportsRe: Tobi Amusan Calls Out Athletics Federation Over Poor Treatment (Photos/Video) by Focusmind: 11:05am On Sep 13, 2025
Our standards in this country are terribly bad. This isn't about Tinubu or his government. It's about the lackadaisical attitudes of nigerians and their non- challant attitude to standards and acceptable standards of doing things. Sadly, this behaviour has passed down to the future generations, who see such behaviours as normal and acceptable. One of the reasons why our politicians are not taking us serious regarding provision of quality services.

PoliticsRe: Deji Adeyanju Reminds Peter Obi About His Threat To Sue Him by Focusmind: 7:13am On Sep 11, 2025
Peter Obi should extend his "sabbatical " leave from public engagements, for at least 3 months. His absence seemed to have made some people jobless and the social media space, a little bit saner and quiet. It's also good for his own mental health. He should be coming and engaging intermittently. undecided
BusinessRe: See 18 Richest Family-Owned Businesses In Nigeria by Focusmind: 8:36pm On Sep 10, 2025
Importation and government patronage were at the forefront of successes recorded by these family-owned businesses. That's how Nigeria billionaires are made. Made through Sole licensing, government patronage, distributorship and politics

It was not easy for me - we always quarreled until I got my mechanic to take over. That was when she became pro.
Chei, a good deal of patience is required. I just could not give that as she was also stubborn with taking instruction. Teaching your spouse how to drive is not easy o grin
PoliticsRe: Kaduna Councillor, Sunusi Hashim, Appoints 18 Special Advisers by Focusmind: 3:19pm On Sep 08, 2025
At least, those appointees have a job title to attach to their names in case of future job or political appointment opportunities. Having the title, Senior Special Assistant to the Member representing Zango ward in Kafanchan local government area will look decent in one's resume undecided
CelebritiesRe: Ali Baba Evicted From Victoria Island Property Over Court Dispute by Focusmind: 12:22pm On Sep 08, 2025
Kobicove:
The lawyer representing Ali Baba during the purchase either did not do a thorough due diligence on the property or decided to ignore the pending case on it undecided
The lawyer was just interested in his service fees - fear property lawyers. undecided

That was how one was pushing me to purchase an encumbered property when I returned from UK to Nigeria in 2011, despite overwhelmingly evidence that the land was under dispute by different blocks of the same family. He insisted that we should go ahead with the purchase and that he knew the overall head of the family. My own wisdom prevailed and I bailed out - the guy that later bought the property, at double the price I would have paid, regretted it and never recovered from the loss of the property to the rightful owner.

Foreign AffairsRe: China’s 80th Victory Day Parade Of The End Of WWII In Pictures by Focusmind: 8:46am On Sep 04, 2025
China that was defeated and occupied by the Japanese during the WWII is celebrating victory? Which victory?

The atomic bomb dropped by US had already weakened Japan and the Japanese surrendered, withdrew their forces from China, Korea, Vietnam, Philippines and other part of South East Asia

It is like France celebrating victory over Nazi Germany, when France was under full occupation of the Nazi Germany from 1941 to 1945

It was not until the allied forces, led by US liberated France in 1945 that the French started fighting again when Germany was already weakened
CrimeRe: Touts Chase Family Of 3 To Death In Abuja (Photos) by Focusmind: 10:03pm On Sep 03, 2025
As a man, once you are with your family on the Nigerian roads, please don't show any stubbornness with those on the streets - the police, agberos or touts. Just hail them, settle and move on. It doesn't worth it exposing your family to danger while arguing with a drunk policeman or touts. I still remember the case of a man, whose son, got killed by a police bullet, as the man tried to evade the police
EducationRe: New Curriculum: JSS, SS Subjects (Full List) by Focusmind: 1:07pm On Sep 03, 2025
Fantastic!!!, especially regarding mathematics and measurements

modern maths is about ratios, percentages, fractions, decimals and measurements

All other topics in mathematics for Junior secondary should be discarded.

For you to study some science courses like nursing and allied health courses in Canada, you would required to present an evidence of good understanding of MTH11, which is basically ratios, fractions, percentages and measurements.

Some topics in mathematics in Junior secondary school needs to be discarded immediately and focus more on topics that have real life applicability like ratios, percentages, conversions, measurements, sharing and monetary calculations
CultureRe: Water Gushed Out Of A 100-Year-Old Sacred Onyina Tree In Ghana by Focusmind: 2:23pm On Sep 02, 2025
Africa and spirituality

We have to take sciences and research seriously in the continent

It is through science that questions and puzzles are answered

My uncle told me a story of what happened in our village in the mid 50s, when one powerful man was being buried.

The whole village was in the square for the burial of the powerful man and all of a sudden, the sky started getting cloudy and darkened in broad day light.

Everywhere was enveloped in total darkness and before you could say anything, everybody abandoned the burial and picked race.

He ran from where the burial ceremony was taken place down to his home, likewise other people.

Within a short time, the sky started opening up again and the whether started being brighter and the day fully returned.

The event that happened that day was a big puzzle throughout the village and everything was linked to a deity and how powerful the deceased was during his life time.

It was not until he entered the prestigious Government College, Umuahia that he understood, in their geography class, that what happened in our village that very day was a mere eclipse of the sun and no deity or "arusi" was involved in the darkness that enveloped the whole place during that burial

The dynamics have changed, indeed.

I doubt if Obi would be able to garner the same six million he got in 2023, with APC now in control of the former strongholds of LP and fully "determined" to retain power for BAT. Obi has lost momentum, no doubt
