PoliticsRe: Oluwagbenga Abiola Steps Down For Abdulganiyu Obasa (Obasa’s Son) by Focusmind: 2:05pm On Apr 24, 2025
It seems Obasa may capture Alausa in 2027, from what I am seeing. If he pulls through with installing his son as the LGA, then, it is as good as getting the APC ticket.
FamilyRe: The Misconception Of "Next Of Kin" In Nigeria by Focusmind: 11:39am On Apr 24, 2025
Well said!

When I was still in corporate Nigeria, my bosses were my "Next of Kin" and not my wife or children. I had to explain that to my wife when she saw who I used as "next of kin" in a document. She questioned why it was not her or any of our children.

Currently, my next of kin is one of my rich neighbors that we greet and do jogging together. I trust he is someone that if called on any emergency concerning me, he would act immediately. Next of kin should be someone that has the means, both financial and the capacity to act on your behalf, in case of emergency for you. Do not use a lame duck as your next of kin. undecided

But for inheritance purposes, where your assets, savings or investments have to be given to next of kin, you can use your family member - wife, children or parents. My point is in case of any emergency, always indicate a capable person as next of kin. If I travel and had to fill form in a hotel, i use my capable friend as next of kin.
PoliticsRe: Oborevwori Condemned APC For "Bringing Poverty" To Nigeria, Joined 3 Years After by Focusmind: 9:05am On Apr 24, 2025
Don't take Nigeria's politics and politicians too seriously for your sanity. Focus on yourself, your success and that of your family. Prioritise your success above everything, including above the nation, as when the chips are down, it would boil down on how you are contented with your life and not that of the politicians or the nation
PoliticsRe: Defections To APC: Why Is Peter Obi Seemingly Unbothered About It? by Focusmind: 6:55am On Apr 24, 2025
I never took the man serious during the 2023 election. I believed he was there to play a "role" and a "script" that were already prepared by APC. In Nigeria politics, the more you look, the less you see. Sadly, the supporters may not understand the political game being played
FamilyRe: Obi Cubana Names His Next of Kin (Photo) by Focusmind: 9:55pm On Apr 22, 2025
Obi Cubana shouldn't be divulging certain information. Social media will cause lots of damage. Certain things are better said privately. Anyway, it's his life.

This Mahmuda must be a very vicious terror group. Their style of operation is like the ISIS and Taliban. I hope the government should take the necessary decisive step to stop this Mahmuda before they into another BOKOHARAM

PoliticsRe: Buhari The Greatest Fraud That Happened To Nigeria – Buba Galadima by Focusmind: 3:56pm On Apr 20, 2025
Your daughter called Tinubu with your phone and Tinubu gave her a job. Nigeria's elites will continue to settle themselves, friends, children and relatives behind closed doors.
Christianity EtcRe: What Does Easter Mean To You? by Focusmind: 7:40am On Apr 20, 2025
It reinforces my belief in the resurrection of dead and life everlasting, which is the whole essence of Christianity. A belief that those who died in Christ, will rise with him. St. Paul captured it appropriately: "If Christ didn't rise from the dead, then, our faith is in vain." This is the foundation of Christianity. I had to educate my kids this morning about the very essence of Easter and to let them know that Easter is far more important than Christmas and indeed, other liturgical times in the Christian calendar.

With this him size? His physique has already given him out as a potential looter. undecided I might be wrong but I have negative opinion about politicians that are on the heavy size. One thing always comes to my mind once I see them - loot. As he would need to loot to continue to maintain his heavy body. undecided
PoliticsRe: Terrorist Group, Mahmuda Attacks Community In Kwara, Set Vehicles Ablaze by Focusmind: 6:55am On Apr 20, 2025
So they want to use the same tactics that was applied during Jonathan time on Tinubu? Creating all sorts of terrorists to destabilise the nation, especially the remote villages. Tinubu should man up and deploy the full might of the Nigerian security personnel on terrorism. There are thousands of Nigerias security men, both military and police, doing nothing since their commissioning into the rank and file. Soldiers and police should be deployed to where they are most needed, including the customs. The customs people would be inside the cities, harassing traders instead of being at the borders to prevent attacks and smuggling
PoliticsRe: Wike Inspects Kabusa/Ketti And Kabusa/Takushara Road Construction Projects by Focusmind: 8:37pm On Apr 19, 2025
Something I never saw the former FCT Minister under Buhari did - inspecting or commissioning a project. That Muhammed of a guy was just like his boss, Buhari. Uninspiring and thoughtless!!! Let that former Minister point to one thing he did as FCT Minister, under Buhari. Lots of opportunities have been wasted by grossly incompetent officials since Nigeria's independence.

PoliticsRe: No Political Argument Can Change That Power Will Return To North In 2031 - Wike by Focusmind: 8:21am On Apr 19, 2025
I wonder how sane people expect Tinubu to be voted out of power. undecided Impossible!!!!.

Any alliance should be for 2031 and not 2027. Politically, the momentum is on Tinubu's side. PDP, especially, the southern members and their governors are not willing to fund the party for the 2027 general elections. None has come forward to campaign for the party or any alliance.
PoliticsRe: Governor Mbah Visits Christian Chukwu's Family, Says "We Will Immortalise Him" by Focusmind: 5:46pm On Apr 18, 2025
That house should be renovated. I could see 1970 and 80s switches on the walls, with something that looks like cartons as ceiling. undecided

There is nothing wrong with having some vintage and old school items. My father's house still has those kind of old model sockets, SMC ceiling fans and strong cabinets. I preserved them during the remodeling works that I did and complimented them with modern aesthetics in home decor

This man's house needs total overhaul as a befitting tribute to him.
CareerRe: "16 Years In Banking And Still Nothing To Show For It" — Banker Laments (video) by Focusmind: 11:04am On Apr 18, 2025
Content creators. Commercial banks remains one of the highest paying institutions in Nigeria, where any focused graduate could learn, earn and develop lots of capabilities. The banking system nurtured me within the period I was there and what I earned provided the capital that I invested and continued to reap from, years after I left the system. How many organisations in Nigeria can pay a newly recruited graduate trainee up to N180k to N250k? Work in the banking sector, endure the stress, learn as much as you can, save wisely and leave when you have fully developed yourself, became an authority in one niche and have invested and saved.

PoliticsRe: Police Officers Lining Up To Receiving Cash From Their Chinese Bosses by Focusmind: 7:36pm On Apr 15, 2025
Never underestimate the effects of poverty on people's behaviour. Nigeria's system is structured so that most of the citizens, including the security personnel, would perpetually be in want. The political system has weaponized poverty and reduces people's cognitive abilities and rational thinking to nothing. N5k to a police man would help him get a tuber of yam for his family while coming back from work. undecided
Foreign AffairsRe: Macron Says France Could Recognise Palestinian State In June by Focusmind: 2:46pm On Apr 15, 2025
Fear fear Macron undecided

Must he mention that some countries that have not recognised Israel would now recognised them? Must you force unwilling countries to recognised Israel because you want to recognise Palestine? Just have the gut to recognise Palestine as a country without drawing reciprocal recognition of Israel in the equation.
CelebritiesRe: “All These Things Don’t Matter In Heaven”– DJ Cuppy Regrets Over Luxurious Shoes by Focusmind: 2:10pm On Apr 15, 2025
I am a minimalist - I don't have up to four footwears - Just three sneakers and one shoe.

I don't keep things I do not need. As the appeal of any wear or shoe diminishes, I give them out immediately, to have space. There is no clothes in my wardrobe that I don't wear. Same to shoe wears. Once I don't need you again, you are gone. Moreover, I don't accumulate to keep. Get few high quality things and use them consistently than packing your space with many low inferior items.
PoliticsRe: Our Party Won’t Join Any Coalition - PDP Governors by Focusmind: 7:43pm On Apr 14, 2025
I wonder how a sane Nigeria would think that BAT would loose 2027 election. Just zero your mind that BAT would be the president till 2031. Nothing will stop BAT in 2027. He has rendered every possible opposition parties powerless.

CrimeRe: Man Sentenced To 131 Years In Prison Speaks On How He Maintains Hope(photos/vid) by Focusmind: 8:46am On Apr 14, 2025
It must be an attempted murder or high profile financial fraud or conspiracy to commit murder, rape or manslaughter.

If it was proven that he murdered someone, it would be death sentence, straight. But since he is not on a death row, it would be any of the above

Trump and his team are NOT consulting widely in all his economic policies. Too many changes. He seems to just be making noise. He has announced exemption of smartphones and computers. He would still announced exemption of other household items.

Biodun1929:
The northern gameplan for 2027 presidential elections has begun.
Exercise in futility. Nothing is stopping Tinubu. He is far ahead of them in this game. He defeated both of them in 2023 as an ordinary person and you expect that they will defeat him when he is wielding so much power as a sitting president? Any alliance should be for 2031 elections. Tinubu wouldn't want to be another Jonathan.

PoliticsRe: Atiku, Tambuwal, El-Rufai, Others Visit Buhari (Photos) by Focusmind: 1:28pm On Apr 11, 2025
Nothing is stopping Tinubu in 2027. The opposition parties are in disarray and it would continue till 2027. Bukola Sarki has already given update on the current happenings within the opposition circle. He has admitted defeat and unlikely that the current occupant of Asorock would be ejected. The opposition parties can never come up with a workable alliance that would stand the test of time.
TravelRe: 4 Places You Should Avoid Walking Alone At Night In Lagos. by Focusmind: 10:47am On Apr 11, 2025
My own is, don't venture at night in Lagos if you don't have anything serious to go and do. Even outside my estate gate, anything could still happen. Lots of people moving around at night, especially those abokis that moves in groups. I fear them pass anything. They don't have any house and sleep in front of people's shops and disappear before dawn.
