Celebrities › Re: “I Asked for ₦5bn, Bank Offered me ₦12bn Because they know it's Blord — Blord” by Focusmind: 7:36pm On Aug 31
Lamba!!

No bank would do that kind of thing undecided
Politics › Re: Timipre Sylva Resigns From APC, Accuses Party Of Abandoning Its Ideals by Focusmind: 2:45pm On Aug 31
Where was he writing from? I thought he was on the run, on self imposed exile. He should come back to clear his name
Food › Re: Man Caught After Eating Food Worth ₦324,000 At Lagos Restaurant Without Paying by Focusmind: 9:19am On Aug 31
Akpobio said any where you see food, chop and go undecided
Foreign Affairs › Re: US Resumes Strikes On Iran, Hits Launchers On Larak Island by Focusmind: 6:21am On Aug 31
Ever8090:
I am ignorant about this sha...but why is Iran not finding ways to launch missiles directly on usa land?
They haven't been able to develop a long range intercontinental ballistic missiles that could hit US. If they had one, US wouldn't be striking them like this. The same challenge Ukraine is facing in their war with Russia. However, Ukraine has been able to develop powerful drones, with capacity to strike deep into Russia, but with minimal impact compared to damage a ballistic missiles would have done.
Nairaland General › Re: Do Families Still Buy or Make Use Of Wall Calendars? by Focusmind: 1:29pm On Aug 30
There are the short ones that could be placed on an office table, usually given as a corporate gift. I have one on my work table, with a base for support, which I put yearly, as I do receive table top calendars from corporate organisations, regularly
Politics › Re: Probe Me Over $16bn Power Spending If You Have Evidence, Atiku Dares FG by Focusmind: 10:42am On Aug 27
AMINDA:
It's called TheAtikuChallenge. Atiku has had this challenge up since 2017 and have been on the wait for 10 years straight but no one has taken him up on it. Just malicious rumours amplified by a bitter ex-president whom Atiku denied a third term.
This is true o!

This challenge has been on for many years and none has been proven

I expected our investigative journalists and government to use all their powers to dig deeper to unearth any corruption deeds on Atiku and so far, none, yet

I am not saying he is a saint, being a Nigerian politician, but people should stop calling him corrupt if they cannot substantiate it

Those in government are neither better but their supporters have not seen them as corrupt.
Celebrities › Re: Pius Orezimena: Diplomatic OPJ Is Dead! Battled Stroke by Focusmind: 9:48am On Aug 27
Remembered in my hay days as an investment banker, while going home on the company's staff bus; The driver would tune into wazobia FM for us to be entertained by the diplomatic OPJ. We would listen to him till I got to my bustop. Very funny guy in the way and manner he talked and analyzed issues.

I enjoyed his conversation, including that of Rotimi, who is also late on Nigerian info 99.3

May His soul rest in peace
Health › Re: Enugu Health Commissioner Clarifies Perceived Rise In Kidney Diseases by Focusmind: 8:51am On Aug 25
hatchy:
I suspect that local delicacy "Okpa" that almost every household consume. There's little or no justification for children as little as 5 years old to suffer from kidney if not for what they consume as food and not herbal concoction.

Wicked Nigerians who are bent in making money at all cost mix harmful substances to increase the volume of Okpa, Red oil, colouring, etc. These harmful chemicals are the root causes of the high rate of kidney disease in the state.

Mothers should make their own foods at home, buy red oil from trusted sources. Government regulatory bodies should live up to their constitutional responsibilities and enforce strict compliance, prosecute offenders to serve as deterrent to others.

Enough of the rhetoric, we want to see action in motion.
This is serious o! I normally consume "okpa" on Saturdays after workouts. There is one woman that usually comes from Ikorodu to my area on Saturdays to sell okpa in Lagos. So, "okpa" could still be contaminated? I even bought one today, after my morning workouts, as today is a public holiday. I usually take it with unsweetened greek yoghurt
Jobs/Vacancies › Re: FG VCN Programme Recruitment 2026: 18 Positions Available - Apply Now by Focusmind: 3:21pm On Aug 24
The positions would be taken by mostly staff of Ministry of Agriculture, SDG office and some deployed staff from other ministries

Just less than 1 percent will come from outside the public sector and through competitive bidding

I have been there and I know how this kind of recruitment works, especially when co-funded by FG and development partners
Travel › Re: This Is The Part Of Abuja That They Rarely Show You Online by Focusmind: 12:13pm On Aug 21
People need to travel outside of this country

It seems Op and mediocrity are in the same category

Couple of buildings are now to be used as standards to define modern cities?
Politics › Re: 'Win Or Lose, 2027 Is My Last' - Atiku Abubakar by Focusmind: 10:59am On Aug 20
You and Obi played stupid politics of pride and emotion in 2023. None wanted to conceed to the other. Nothing will be enough to remove a determined incumbent in the person of BAT.

BAT would potentially determine his successor in 2031 and the cycle continues. You and obi had the best of chances and goodwill in 2023 but you guys lacked the political foresight.
Foreign Affairs › Re: Russia Warns UK Over Supplying Drones To Ukraine by Focusmind: 1:55pm On Aug 18
I like UK's response. They didn't deny arming Ukraine with deadly drones that struck deeper into Russia. That strike, deep into Russia, jolted kremline. Imagine arming Ukraine with long range missiles? This war would have ended since. The West is afraid that providing Ukraine with long range missiles would expose the west to Russia retaliatory strikes, with its attendant consequences on the civilians population.
Politics › Re: Band A Power Users Subsidised Others With ₦101bn – ZKJ Energy by Focusmind: 11:03am On Aug 18
E sure me say I follow for Band A people wey dey subsidise for others. Interestingly, I have been receiving more than 20 hours of electricity in my area, even though I operate mainly on solar during the day and NEPA at night.

It's a good thing, anyway. The rich are supposed to pay more and subsidise for the poor. That's how it works in some countries.
Politics › Re: ‘Politics Not A Career, Get A Job’ — Davido Hits Back At Faleke by Focusmind: 3:07pm On Aug 17
At my age, na political jobs I dey find. No be 9 to 5 again. Political jobs sweet die, even if na PA to a big politician.
Health › Re: Blessing Orji: Bebe Jewelry Dies In A Store In China (CCTV Footage) by Focusmind: 11:19am On Aug 17
Very unfortunate. If ut was in Nigeria, you would have seen how people would have rushed at her.

Those Chinese didn't even want to touch her. The man there quietly shifted the cabinet. The lady was trying to make a call, probably, trying to call police.

She saw the cardiac coming. She could feel and knew that something was wrong. My people, just take things easy. No just do pass yourself.
Foreign Affairs › Re: German Govt Gives Agents Right To Open Fire On Russian Spies by Focusmind: 5:16pm On Aug 14
The anti- Kremline sentiments in Europe is at an all time high

German is still somehow bitter with Russia, as a result of the ripples of the second world war
Crime › Re: Kebbi Police Arrest Man Over Alleged Qur’an Desecration, Fetish Ritual by Focusmind: 5:03pm On Aug 14
Thank God that it was Musa undecided

If it was another person, whose name sounded differently from the familiar names within the community, all hail would have been let loose
Career › Re: Nearly Half Of Nigerian Households Suffering Job Losses — SBM Intelligence by Focusmind: 4:48pm On Aug 14
Being a job seeker in the current Nigeria is the most difficult and devastating situation to be

Depression is fast taken over some people without strong social and family support

The number of recent graduates I have seeking for job are increasing and there seems to be no hope insight

The economy is simply not creating enough jobs and the number of graduates have sky-rocketed

You got the value of what you paid for undecided undecided

If you want Kruga, Seregenti or Masai Mara experience, up your game grin
Health › Re: Nobody Told Them The Funding Was Stopping. by Focusmind: 9:51am On Aug 12
Russia, Iran and China are going to fill the funding gap undecided

The lovers of the three mentioned countries should get across to them for funding as they have huge support base in Nigeria

By the way, is Nigerian government leaving their responsibilities to foreign doors?

This ought to be the responsibility of the Nigerian government and not foreign bodies

If you hear the amount these foreign bodies and donors spends in Nigeria, especially in the northern part, you will know that it would take miracle for the Nigerian government to shoulder those responsibilities.
Crime › Re: Courtney Clenney Gets Six Years Jail Term Over Death Of Nigerian Man by Focusmind: 4:21pm On Aug 11
Na who die loose - just six years for killing someone ??

Once she is out of jail, one other guy will be waiting to befriend hee and she would gladly accept any man and continue frolicking

Imagine having this kind of person as a girlfriend or fiancée

Upon all the normal ladies in the US, Toby could only go for an ex onlyfan model girl

He practically knew what he got himself into

I followed up the story when it broke in 2022
Politics › Re: ‘We Are Sorry’ Billboards Spotted In Abuja (Photos) by Focusmind: 11:09am On Aug 11
Advertising bait! Putting you in suspense before unleashing the main advert message. I have sighted it in Lagos close to the airport
Properties › Re: Can This Type Of Ceiling Be Repaired Or Covered Up.. by Focusmind: 3:12am On Aug 11
Ebenezer2021:
boss I was looking for this comment.
This same ceiling is what my friend has, I recently entered his room and couldn't recognize the ceiling, I thought he did POP but he told me he screeded the ceiling.
So I was asking is it possible to screde this kind of ceiling
Yes
Properties › Re: Can This Type Of Ceiling Be Repaired Or Covered Up.. by Focusmind: 8:35pm On Aug 10
Go to any building material market and buy this same ceiling board

They sell the boards in squares.

Let your handyman remove that portion that has cut and replaced it with the new one

I did same in the my father's old house, screeded and repainted everything white.

It came out very neat and beautiful
Education › Re: Daniela Owoeye: UTME Top Scorer Credits Prep50 For Success by Focusmind: 8:10pm On Aug 10
Olofofo247ng:
Great development! Nothing can take the place of one on one private home lessons. It still
remains the best.
Perfectly true!

My father gave me an opportunity to have a one-on-one tutor in the 80s while I was in primary school, preparing for the common entrance and federal government college exams

The private tutor he hired gave me sound training, opened my eyes and minds to the rudiments of learning, assimilation and understanding of concepts while studying
Christianity Etc › Re: Should Christian Couples Confess To Their Spouse When They Fall Into Adultery? by Focusmind: 11:25am On Aug 09
Adultery is a valid ground for dissolution of marriage in the Catholic Church.

90% of people cannot take the fact that their partner cheated. If you know that your spouse cannot forgive, never bother confessing
Education › Re: Governor Mbah Boosts ESUT Experiential Learning With 400 Computers by Focusmind: 8:01am On Aug 04
Something that will later accumulate dusts and cobwebs in the so called ICT room. undecided

Nigeria's university management system needs total overhaul.
Jobs/Vacancies › Re: US Embassy And Consulate In Nigeria Opens Applications For Five Job Vacancies by Focusmind: 1:02pm On Aug 03
Very nice place to work with modest pay and benefits. However, you have to be an extremely meticulous, highly organised and very eloquent in your spoken English. There is no room for "any-any" attitude of Nigerians. Not forgetting, your integrity has to be topnotch. There is no room for half-integrity. It is either you have it or you don't. Finally, you have to be good with numbers. Good luck!
Politics › Re: Explain Missing School Records In INEC Form – Dalung Challenges Tinubu by Focusmind: 12:55pm On Aug 02
The President believed that he goofed in 2023 by submitting his questionable secondary school credentials, where he claimed to have graduated in 1970 why the school was established in 1974.

He wouldn't want to repeat that same mistake again since inec merely requested for only the minimum qualifications certificate for the post. undecided
Nigeria's investigave journalists should go and ask Chicago State University the credentials the president used to gain admission
Foreign Affairs › Re: Ireti Bakare-Yusuf: South Africans Petition To Ban Nigerian Journalist by Focusmind: 6:22pm On Jul 31
Ireti Yusuf, one of the finest journalists in Nigeria. Take time and listen to her program on Fridays and Sunday mornings. A very seasoned journalist. See some of the comments from ill informed Nigerians above, telling her to leave south Africa.

For crying out loud, she is a journalist. Journalists are meant to travel and cover events that are happening. She was there, asking the tough questions on behalf of nigerians and some are here, telling her to come back
Sports › Re: NPFL: Clubs Without Functional Websites Risk Losing Licensing — Owumi Warns by Focusmind: 10:51am On Jul 31
Our standards in this country are terribly low

So, clubs in Nigeria do not have functional websites?

Same way with some government agencies, without any functioning website, where information could be shared
Foreign Affairs › Re: Tel Aviv Says US Bombers Launched Strikes On Iran From Israeli Bases by Focusmind: 10:22am On Jul 31
Nawao! See how fight just dey hungry Israel undecided

They feel left out in this war.

Reason why Bibi was bitter with the peace deal US signedwithIran.

He has said it countless times, that this is the best time to finish off Iran but Trump is restraining him and wants peace because of mid term elections.

Iran should use this opportunity to accept the last peace agreement as it greatly favored them. I am shocked that Iran could still trigger this conflict despite the great deal that they got.
