Politics › Re: Anambra APC Rally: Akpabio’s Appearance Raises Questions About His Well-being by Focusmind: 10:38pm On Nov 01, 2025
Soludo is lucky!!!.

Just imagine that Ifeanyi Ubah was the candidate of APC, with the full chest of APC power brokers backing him. The current APC candidate is no match to Soludo. So, there is not going to be any challenge to him in the next election. Ifeanyi Ubah would have electrified this gubernatorial campaign more with his typical grass roots mobilisation.
Food › Re: How Many Slices Can You Eat In One Sitting? (picture) by Focusmind: 7:54pm On Nov 01, 2025
I stopped eating bread when I clocked 40.

Sadly, Bokku brought me back to bread. I usually buy their bread when I am in their supermarket and the bread is just just coming out from the oven. undecided

I don't take bread if its not coming directly from the oven. Once it settles and gets to the shelves, my appetite drops. So, OP, I will not take any slice except if it is hot and soft.
Education › Re: 5 Futuristic Courses That Can Land You High-paying Jobs Abroad by Focusmind: 9:10pm On Oct 31, 2025
Getting those jobs will never be easy.

If you intend to go abroad to study with the best chance of landing a job, just focus on:

1. Nursing
2. Support Worker
3. Human and Social Services
4. Mental health
5. Psychology and Psychotherapy
6. Early Childhood Education
7. Mathematical Science
8. Health Care Support Roles

All those big courses mentioned by the OP are quite saturated and competitive. Lots of immigrants that studied "fancy " and "big" courses are still job hunting while those that studied simple health and allied courses have gotten themselves something. Don't be deceived by fancy courses. Focus on courses that the Services are required by people, on a larger scale

Politics › Re: Customs Recruitment: 'Lagos got more slots than all Northern. states combined" by Focusmind: 9:37am On Oct 30, 2025
See who is talking about Federal Character? The term, " Federal Character" [/b]should not be in the same sentence with any major northern politician. Even though the present government has not done enough in terms of federal character, Nigerians should all rise together to condemn injustices in whatever form. I have noticed that most people in Nigeria feel alright if things do not affect them but cry foul when the tides turns. Under Buhari, we witnessed the worst form of nepotism and favoritism, with recklessness without caring at all. Nigeria's leaders would continue to be the bane of Nigeria's underdevelopment. Read Professor Chinua Achebe's book, [b]"The Trouble With Nigeria". You would understand how successive leaderships of the country have all worked together to derail the unity and progress of this nation/

Nigerian barracks are another sodom and gomorrah. I saw things in the barracks when I did my NYSC. NCO's wives are something else, including their randy husbands.

Politics › Re: Ivory Coast: Ouattara Re-Elected For Fourth Term At 83 by Focusmind: 6:11am On Oct 28, 2025
See the man that the West projected that year and coerced ECOWAS to reject and fight Laurent Gbagbo, the then incumbent just to install the western puppet, Quattara. The man has remained sit tight. There was time he wanted to resign but his hand-picked successor died before the general elections. He resigned his decision to quit and contested the election, which he "won".

Thiam Djam, the former credit suisse CEO would have been a better option. But Africa has a way a way of running its own brand of democracy.
Business › Re: Coca-Cola Records $393 Million Loss In Sale Of Chi Limited by Focusmind: 2:15pm On Oct 26, 2025
UAC would finally bury the "Chi". Can they sustain the operation and profitability of chivita? Coca-Cola deployed their huge economy of scale to run chivita and company. I doubt if UAC has the same logistical capacity and economy of scale power to run the show. Just as someone rightly pointed out above, Coca-Cola may have deliberately bought chivita and company to "kill" it off and claim some tax benefits. FIRS should not agree to that impairment loss. It should be added back to Coca-Cola's profit and taxed appropriately. Coca-Cola deliberately over valued chivita and company to evade capital gains tax at disposal. They have already claimed that proceeds from sale to UAC was far below their purchase and carrying value. They want to avoid CGT. Make FIRS no gree for them o.
Travel › Re: Help!. Is my brother who just traveled to Sweden trying to use my head? by Focusmind: 7:27pm On Oct 25, 2025
He may not even see anything to do within a year. The Swedish job market has tanked and international students are struggling, big time. Those that have finished school are leaving the place and seeking opportunities elsewhere. If you don't have money for US, Canada, Australia or New Zealand, just stay back in Nigeria and find what to do with the little money you have. However, if you are going to Sweden and other non English-speaking countries on scholarships, no problem. Once you are done, with outstanding results, you can source for scholarships for a PHD level study in the countries I mentioned above.

Just look at his response. He acquired the French citizenship to make things easier for his children that were studying in France. Everything about African leaders is about themselves and their families.

This almost happened to me in 2016 when I left my three year old daughter in the car to pick up something inside the house and my phone ranged. I started answering the call. and I completely forgot that I had a three year old daughter in the car
Education › Re: 15-Year-Old Agbo Adoga's 1600 SAT Score Makes History by Focusmind: 9:29am On Oct 21, 2025
See a Nigerian in a Nigerian school being one of the top 0.01 percentile in global exam like SAT. This also shows the quality of teaching in some of our highly - rated private secondary schools.

He still looks too young and immature. In Canada, a 15 year old should be in grade 10.

A friend whose son finished SS1 in Nigeria with hope of getting into grade 11 (SS2) in Canada when they relocated was stepped down to grade 9 (JSS 3) because of his age. He was just 14 when he finished SS1 in Nigeria.

That Regina's brother seems to be on drugs. He didn't act maturely. I am sure some people would be praising him for violently defending his sister. Sometimes, you have to show wisdom and maturity to broker peace.
Family › Re: Nigerian Lady Cries Out As Her Brothers Wife Makes Him Fence Their Compound(vid) by Focusmind: 4:58pm On Oct 20, 2025
Nothing new here. Very common in Anambra state. Once the patriarch of the family is gone, the sons usually go to war. This happens, especially when some siblings are doing well and some are not, coupled with the fact that the brothers would have gotten married and brought home different shades of characters that are not consistent with the family values of the men in the house. Suspicion, greed, envy and backbiting sets in. This is very common in many towns and villages in Anambra.
Politics › Re: 'Free Nnamdi Kanu' Protest 20 October 2025 (Live Updates) by Focusmind: 12:08pm On Oct 20, 2025
This may not be the best approach - political negotiation is the best. You do not bamboozled the government to take action on something as sensitive as this issue. Releasing Kanu at the back of protest will strengthened him more than been released on compassionate or political grounds. I would prefer that he is released on political grounds than the government being forced to released him because of protest. His lawyers and the political leaders from SE should engage with FG and see what could be done and read the terms and conditions of his release to him for acceptance.

Kanu has become an issue in SE and I am sure some politicians from SE may not look favorable to his release. The man still has this cult-like figure and he may end the political career of lots of politicians. He is also key to the insecurity ravaging the region. Terrorists are banking on the back of the man to continue to cause mayhem in the region. I pray that political settlement is found in this issue and this case quickly closed.

Palestinians and Gazans should stand with the people with capacity to help them rebuild their territory. They should follow Saudi, UAE, Kuwait and other gulf States. Qatar is becoming a strange bedfellows among the gulf States

This guy pulled his resources for Obi in 2023 presidential elections. Sadly, in Nigeria, businesses follow the food and where the connections are. His empire would be served more by being in the APC. It is no more a question of if, but when is he going to finally port.

Politics › Re: Bayelsa Governor Diri, 23 State Assembly Members, Others Resign From PDP (Video) by Focusmind:
I wonder how Atiku and Obi would be feeling right now

These duo had the best of chances in 2023 but ego did not allow any one of them to step down for the other, buoyed by the mob supporters they had, thinking that the coast was clear. Sadly, PBAT calculated and took his chances. The rest is history. In this life, always weigh your chances and see if you could settle for less for something bigger in the future. Obi did not do that in 2023

Obi allowed emotions to betrayed him and he has lost out - As it is, the momentum is with PBAT. Obi and Atiku had the best of chances to pair each other and coast home to victory but each of them was moved by his own vaulting ambition. It was even worse on the Obi case as he ran with Atiku in 2019. What Atiku wanted was for them to pair again for 2023 and possibly make a way for him in 2031 but no! the movement that came onboard thought that Obi would sail through.

Any body campaigning for any other candidate is just wasting his time - the ticket and presidency is sure for PBAT. I am surprised that neither Atiku nor Obi have said any since the wave of defection started. Congratulations to PBAT!!
