CrimeRe: Court Jails Two Women For Hawking Naira Notes In Lagos by Focusmind: 9:20pm On May 04, 2025
This is too harsh!!!

They didn't steal the money. They merely sold their newly minted cash to willing buyers for a small margin. EFCC should focus more on the main thieves. The women were just doing their normal hustle. Imagine forfeiting a whopping N3.8m to FG at this time. Some POS operators are the ones sustaining their families. Nigerian courts should have human face when dispensing judgment to the poor.
PoliticsRe: Peter Obi’s Strong Ally, Obaze Dumps Labour Party by Focusmind: 5:15pm On May 04, 2025
Whether you like it or not, it seems that Obi lack some elements of leadership and people's management skills. I doubt if he would aspire for the presidency in 2027. This is why APC is focusing on PDP, to decimate PDP and Atiku. PDP and Atiku are considered more formidable opponent than Obi. Mr.Obi has lost both steam and momentum and trying to rally Nigerians to his side in 2027 would be extremely difficult.

EducationRe: Study In The UK Without IELTS – 2025/2026 Admission Open by Focusmind: 6:26am On May 02, 2025
Rich parents would still pay for their kids without bathing an eyelids. Go to top secondary schools in Nigeria and see how the UK universities are "cashing " out from some "ignorant" rich parents during school's career days and "study abroad " events. These universities will sell non existent "opportunities" to parents and tell them of numerous opportunities that abound after their wards must have finished their studies in their universities. With the hopelessness some parents have about the future prosperity of Nigeria, most would key into the promises made by the foreign universities and pay the hefty sums. At the end, the child would start struggling to land the lowest of the jobs in UK. Those unfortunate to get anything would return home to come back to their parents, waiting for their parents to use connections to place them into any juicy government agencies or private sector.
PoliticsRe: Train Attack Victim Meets His Kidnaper At Kaduna Mosque by Focusmind: 10:02pm On May 01, 2025
The kind of news I hear in this country ehh??

Is NSA and police aware of this new? See how the victim narrated the encounter as if it was nothing undecided

Police should go after the guy to get more information about their group and other groups of terrorists.

Anyway, our security system and intelligence seems to be in parallel lines.

There is no way Ibori will not defect to APC. All his political children are there, making grounds for him to enter. He may be the one that orchestrated the whole defections, considering his closeness to Tinubu
TravelRe: Would You Let Your Father Sell His Only House Because Of You? by Focusmind: 5:54am On May 01, 2025
Let me comment because of your dad.

Give it to fathers. A father can do anything to see his son succeed. Your father would be happier staying in his house at old age, being able to walk around his compound without anyone disturbing him. Being in your own house at old age is quite soothing and reassuring, even if you don't have much at that time.

As people have advised you, UK is no more "profitable " as a japa destination. Lots of nigerians that have graduated have returned back to Nigeria empty because of inability to secure a job that could keep them back in the country. Are you going there to study one of those business or arts course that cannot guarantee any meaningful job? Are you a first class student that has the potential to compete for the highly competitive graduate entry positions? If you are just an average student who believes in ordinary hustle power to succeed in the UK, then think twice.

Your father's pain would be minimal if he is living in his house at old age, while you may be struggling to make it in life. At least, he still has his house to cherish and bequeath to you when he passes on. The pain would be worse if had sold his house and you have nothing to show later after your studies.

Please, explore alternative funding for your japa or better still, keep hopes alive in Nigeria and continue hustling. If you are a first class or second class upper graduate, keep applying to companies in Nigeria, especially in their graduate recruitment exercises. The fact that you are not comfortable with your father selling off his properties is a good one.

HealthRe: Man Confronts Northerner For Washing Coconut With Gutter Water (video/photos) by Focusmind: 10:02am On Apr 28, 2025
I wonder the kind of mind people get to buy open and cut out things from Abokis. You will see people buying cut out watermelon, pineapple and other fruits. I buy things from Abokis but not something that has been cut open. I buy and go to my house and peel them after washing in steam water. I do not buy suya again from Aboki. Just ask yourself where the Aboki takes his meat to after each days work? He goes to an uncompleted building and under bridge, where rats and other rodents would feast on them. In the night, he set up his suya fire and starts roasting again!!. I buy suya from the Abokis in the hotel, eatery or joints not those on the street corners
BusinessRe: Moremonee Unveils Africa's First-Of-Its-kind Banking Security Feature by Focusmind: 6:15am On Apr 28, 2025
The name, "moremonee" doesn't sound digital. Name matters in everything. You don't give a child a name that sound awkward within his or her environment or his tribe. Fintech is a "tribe" and names of firms in the industry are formed to indicate that.
PropertiesRe: Fawehinmi’s Associates Demand Demolition Of Hotel Near Late Legal Luminary’s Hom by Focusmind: 7:14pm On Apr 27, 2025
That location is a prime area within the Ikeja GRA. There is no way the developer would not have obtained the full necessary permit, including CofO to put up that edifice. He must have paid all the necessary fees and approvals. The only exception is building what was not approved. If I were the lawyers, I would check if what the developer built was consistent with the approved plan. If not, they have grounds to take legal action. The building permit could even be revoked on that basis alone. People in Nigeria are fond of altering building plans and make modifications after obtaining permits.

TravelRe: 5 Degrees That Can Land You High-paying Jobs In The UK by Focusmind: 7:46pm On Apr 26, 2025
Eniolohunda:
I know someone that studied Economics, currently living in UK. Why he never landed in the high paying job is what I don't understand 🤔
The guy go wait tire na. Most Nigerians don't do research before going to UK to study big fancy programs. Some have finished the so called programs that usually start with, "Applied" this and "Appplied" that, without any hope of getting a job in their fields. It's even worse in Canada. There are some that have finished their masters and gone back to do one year PSW or any other support work programs in colleges to land a job.
TravelRe: 5 Degrees That Can Land You High-paying Jobs In The UK by Focusmind: 7:28pm On Apr 26, 2025
Whoever is handling this Vanguard newspaper's blogging section is not doing a detailed research and evidence- based reporting. undecided

If you are Nigerian with intention of studying in UK, Canada and any Western country with intention of seeking Job opportunities, with good chance of success, consider vocational and diploma programmes in health and trades.

Licensed or Registered Practical nursing
Medical Laboratory Technology
Radiography Technology
Physician Assistant
Social Services Worker program
Personal Support Worker
Gerontology and Palliative Caregiving
Mental Health and Addiction
Phlebotomy Technician
Blue-collar Trades Courses

OkanlawonB:
Presently we have a massive grown up second Generation africans in Germany/ Austria/Swiss, their being black is in no way a disadvantage in the job market because they are better integrated languagewise and otherwise than the first generation. They choose a carrier path they have passion for just like the natives do.
Of course, there is always an exception. Blacks that were born there stands shoulder to shoulder with the native. The population I had in mind are people that are interested in migrating or to study in Germany. Vocational and trades profession jobs are easier to get than the high precision tech jobs and highbrow streets business and finance jobs

I want to ask. Is mortuary attendant paid well in naija?
It's not a well paid job in Nigeria. We are talking about Germany, here. However if you are lucky to study Mortuary Science at a diploma level (vocational) in any Western countries, including Germany, you are guaranteed a job.
Jobs/VacanciesRe: 5 Degrees That Can Land You High-Paying Jobs In Germany by Focusmind: 9:48pm On Apr 25, 2025
Those jobs takes time to come and not everyone , especially blacks that study the program would be lucky to land the so called high-paying jobs. As an immigrant, vocational and trades skills qualifications would help you with securing decent job than parading a high class degrees and postgraduate degrees. You stand far better chance of securing jobs in Germany if you study vocational nursing or other health care related programs at diploma levels, tech programs at vocational level and trades skills programs at diploma level.

For God's sake, you are a politician and not different from most of your colleagues.
