Tony Blair is hustler - The guy is just looking for consultancy work with government. What is the benefit of the visit to the Kaduna people?
Celebrities › Re: Tonto Dikeh's son's award shows his surname has officially been changed to Dikeh by Focusmind: 3:23pm On Apr 05, 2019
Nobody has asked why the useless school accepted the change of surname of the boy.

Didn't the school ask questions before effecting change of name for the boy? I am sure the award is from the school and it was the school that wrote the name. Do they have the obligation to accept the change of surname from Tonto without the fathers authorization?

Just imagine my wife going to my son's school to change his surname and the school just agreed without getting in touch with the me.
Travel › Re: UAE Denies Stopping Issuance Of 3 Months Visa To Nigerians by Focusmind: 2:46pm On Apr 05, 2019
They know how much they are making from Nigerian business men and tourists. I have noticed that tourist destination/countries usually have friendly and relaxed visa regimes. They grant generous visas knowing fully well that their economies rely on inflow of visitors to keep oiling it.

Why did you respond to him? It is high time we started ignoring these tribal bigots - I call all of them kids. All these tribal warriors online are mostly kids. Please don't honor tribal bigots with your responses going forward. Just ignore and move on and they will mellow down.
Education › Re: The Rot In Unity Schools by Focusmind: 1:01pm On Apr 02, 2019

It's such a pity. It's a shame the government is treating education with kids gloves.
King's college and St. Gregory's college used to be on the same level infrastructure wise, but now St. Gregory's college is miles ahead owing to the handover of the school to the missionary
Thank God for the hand over of schools to the missionaries - I went to St. Gregory College, Ikoyi, Mhen, I could not believe my eyes. See detailing, neatness, ambience and panache. Honestly, I was amazed at the standard the church had set for the school. This is how catholic schools all over the world should be.

Government have shown that they are incapable of doing anything. Peter Obi of Anambra state started the hand over of schools previously owned by the missionaries back to them and we could all see the transformation of those schools and the intense competition among them in Anambra, including stellar performances in external examination.

Archbishop Adewale Martins is doing great with catholic schools in Lagos - St. Gregory, St Finbarrs, St Francis are all top notch. Visit St. Gregory and you would be amazed at the tranquility and beauty of the school and decency of the students unlike the unruly and crude-like behavior of public schools, including the so-called unity schools.
Politics › Re: Buhari, Okorocha Meet In Aso Rock "Certificate Of Return" by Focusmind: 4:00pm On Apr 01, 2019
What ever your thoughts are, Buhari is still very sympathetic to Rochas. Buhari hardly forgets his loyalist. Rochas was the pillar of APC and Buhari in the 2015 Election in the South-East. Even when he came to Owerri in the last campaign, Buhari never campaigned for the APC gubernatorial candidate because of his sympathy for Rochas, he rather told the people to vote the person of their choice. Left to Buhari, he would have told the people to vote for Rochas candidate, Uche Nwosu.

Rochas used to be Buhari's Man-Friday, travelling around the world with him before Oshimole came and scattered everything. No matter what, the president still have a soft spot for Rochas despite his failings. No matter what people think of Rochas, the fact that he stood with the president, coming from the South-East, is enough for the president to always give him listening ears.

Mind you, I am not a supporter of any politician. This is just my honest view.

Are you wiser than Adamawa people? Tinubu steals 100 billion from Lagos annually and you are not bothered about that
Hello, I am bothered about all the politicians that steals our resources - Be it Tinubu, Atiku or Fintiri. I don't follow any politician neither do I support any of them since they are all the same. We should not be blinded by partisan politics not to condem corruption because the person in question is on the side of our political divide. I am not a supporter of Tinubu neither am i a supporter of corruption.
Politics › Re: Adamawa: Supplementary Election Lives Updates, Reports And Results by Focusmind: 4:42pm On Mar 28, 2019
Is the PDP candidate, Ahmadu Fintiri, the former state house of assembly speaker that took over briefly when the former Governor, Nyako was removed? Within his three months reign, the guy almost ran the state bankrupt with looting. I hope this Fintiri is different from the Fintiri I just described else the state have entered one chance.

There is a relationship between poverty and backwardness. Look at the quality of the people there, the building and environment. Agreed that the poor boy stole, is it enough reason for them to met out this kind of punishment? Check all of those people gathered there, one way or the other, they had all committed one heinous crime or the other. The fact that the world does not know about their own crime does not make them saint.

Honestly, backwardness is the worst disease that could afflict a person or group of people. Live in Europe and you will know that it will take Africans another hundred years to evolve and mature into a reasonable humans.

I don't know why Lagos State government doesn't disturb the people building houses in this crowded areas without space in Lagos island but will come to Lekki - Ajah axis and be disturbing hard working Nigerians trying to build their own crib. They will come to my estate and mark the red X in buildings, even when the owners have obtained the necessary permits yet they turn blind eyes on what is happening in Lagos Island.

I love the house. Neat and very detailed unlike the typical Nigerian houses with block works, burglary and unsightly items lying around.

See the interlocking like Yankee own unlike the ones done by one Kazeem or Laye. I love houses that radiates simplicity. minimalism and cozy.

God continue to bless our hustle.
Politics › Re: Dele Momodu Reacts To Senator Adeleke's Victory At The Tribunal by Focusmind: 5:47pm On Mar 22, 2019
The same man that told Adeleke to concede defeat and move on with his life that what will be will be is now talking again.

He also told Atiku to "pick that phone" and call Buhari, conceding defeat without telling Atiku to go to court. May be, if Atiku wins in court now, he would be like: " Shebi I no tell you say you go win this court case'.

Politics › Re: Boko Haram Landmines Kills Soldiers In Borno (Graphic Photos) by Focusmind: 10:33am On Mar 20, 2019
I don't know why we could not get anti-mines machines and tanks that carries out total cleansing of landmines areas before infantry or ground troops moves in - Check out US soldiers in Afghanistan, Syria and other war zones, even in the early 90's in Angola during the war with UNITA, you see anti mines tanks moving through swathe of land, detonating mines to allow ground troops safe passage.

But here, you are on your own. The budget for it may have been embezzled.
Education › Re: Success Adegor: Okotie-Eboh Primary School Sapele Undergoing Renovation by Focusmind: 9:50am On Mar 19, 2019
See that their teacher face - Poverty is bad honestly - what kind of motivation do you think the pupils will drive by looking at their teacher.

In my primary school in the late 80s, we used to admire some of our teachers based on the way they dressed and they kind of English they spoke. Among them were seasoned Ghanaians mathematicians with their LACOMBS text book and one Mrs. Anna Kwasa of English Language.

The primary school was still a public school with good teachers that motivated us to sit for the then Federal Government Colleges unlike the kind of public primary school we have these days.

I pity Boeing - their market shares are falling like pack of cards at the New York Exchange since the Ethiopian airline crash. Countries are offloading the plane at an alarming proportion. The people I pity are those that have pre-paid and placed huge orders. No refund after payment is always a clause in such contract.

Boeing fierce rivals, Airbus and Bombardier will be smiling to the bank now.

Jobs/Vacancies › Re: NNPC Is Recruiting 2019!: GT And Experienced by Focusmind: 10:51am On Mar 13, 2019
Pray that this recruitment does not become "INCONCLUSIVE"

I hope the GMD will not tow the current trend where by after more than one year of recruitment, they will declare the exercise "inconclusive" and give one funny excuse of being under one form of pressure or the other from Senators and high-ranking government officials to hire their wards.

On the other hand, if you have a high-caliber network in the political sphere, now is the time to activate it. This is Nigeria and there would be a lot of political favoritism. Utilize your network effectively. Networking is not bad. It is bad when it is grossly abuse.

In oversea, Canada and UK, precisely, people get work through referral - I don't know if Referral here could still mean networking or nepotism in Nigeria context.

Anyway, prepare well, pray hard and network hard. Politicians kids are not doing anything now - they are all waiting for this kind of opportunity and most of them studied abroad.

Politics › Re: Ahmadu Bello, The Sardauna Of Sokoto Playing Cricket In Throwback Photo by Focusmind: 10:50am On Mar 12, 2019
This game used to be very popular then in Nigeria during the colonial times. I saw my uncles pictures in his secondary days at Government College, Umuahia, representing his School, playing cricket with visiting students from Eton College, England, with former Premier of Eastern Region and UK cabinet minister in charge of colonies watching.

Check some commonwealth countries, Bangladesh, South-Africa, Zimbabwe, Australia, England, India, Pakistan, New Zealand and Fiji etc - They are all good in cricket games. The game just died a natural death in Nigeria. It was regarded as the sport of the colonial masters. The sport that was used to entertain any visiting colonial officer or high ranking politician then.

I have lost hope in the youth of this nation. There is no more hope for the future. If the comments here are anything to go by, this nation is gone. People are no more looking at things based on whether it is right or wrong. People are being blindfolded by partisan politics. Sadly,majority are youths,insulting one another.
People no longer care if processes are right,as long as their political divide is favored. We're all building a bad precedent for the future generations of this country. People are here praising the soldiers for snatching ballots boxes,saying that Wike did same before. Do you reward evil with evil?. It would surely come back to us one way or the other. We should all ensure that rule of law is upheld all the time even if it doesn't favor our political divide.

Thousands of Nigerian middle class and professionals are relocating in droves to Canada because of the hopelessness of the country, the system and the people.

We should all work towards reclaiming our country back and not allow useless political divide and rule to affect this project.

Hello, seeing this now. Honestly, I wished I could help. Have a lot of CVs from relatives that I have not being able to help them because of the current situation in Nigeria. Openings are so difficult to come by now.

Am sorry that I won't be able to help you at this time. All the same, what course did you study?
