PoliticsRe: 2027: I Swear To God, I Will Campaign For Seyi Tinubu For Lagos Governor - VDM by Focusmind: 7:19am On Jan 18, 2025
This is the deal. Tinubu aside, the young man seems intelligent and in tune with modern thinking. All other politicians are still the same. There is no Saint among Nigerian politicians. The young man may turn out to be an unlikely hero with humen heart in governance of Lagos. I am sure some people are in dilemma whether to support him or not because of some inconsequential considerations. undecided
CrimeRe: Police Arrest A Soldier With ‘Canadian Loud’ In Lagos Barracks by Focusmind: 3:49pm On Jan 17, 2025
Our security agencies are involved in lots of covert deals for people. I am sure he was paid to move the consignment. He may not be the dealer but the facilitator
TravelRe: This Is Obosi Interchange Onitsha, Not Abuja: Pictures by Focusmind: 7:38pm On Jan 16, 2025
Obosi should rein in on their youths. The rate of crime, criminality and unwholesome activities among Obosi youths have skyrocketed in recent times.

TravelRe: Expatriate, Others Missing As Vehicle Fleeing Kidnappers Plunges Into River by Focusmind: 7:43pm On Jan 14, 2025
I hope it wasn't an insider job. Corporate drivers could be desperate sometimes to make money off their employers. Some disgruntled labourers of some companies are still capable of pulling off this kind of attack on their companies
PoliticsRe: Kano Commissioner Refunds ₦100 Million Surplus Funds by Focusmind: 2:22pm On Jan 14, 2025
There are so much wastages, profligacy and corruption in governance in Nigeria. Imagine having surplus of N100m in a government funded project

See the statement that came out from the Methodist Church Reverendhuh? So distasteful!!!! Nigeria Church leaders could be careless in talking when it comes to pandering to the whims of politicians.

PoliticsRe: Drama As Sacked PDP National Secretary Sam Anyanwu Storms Office (Video) by Focusmind: 2:46pm On Jan 13, 2025
Wike's right hand man grin grin grin

You can't be with Wike and get messed up by anybody. EFCC wanted to harras Otorm, Ikpeazu and Ugwuanyi after their tenures, but Wike stepped in and the matter closed. The man understands power very well. Atiku is even tired of the man. Wike will single-handedly install the national chairman and the secretary come the next PDP convention.
PoliticsRe: Mudashiru Obasa Impeached, Mojisola Meranda Becomes Lagos Assembly Speaker by Focusmind:
press9jatv:
it never work in rivers State politics
Wrong!!! You have to read well to understand the concepts behind that particular law of power.

Fubara was extremely loyal to a fault to Wike, even ready to go to jail on his behalf when he had issues with EFCC.

Fubara never outshined Wike when he was the accountant general. He credited the State's robust financial standing to the sagacity and managerial acumen of Wike.

Based on his loyalty and deep respect to Wike, he was annointed and placed on the path of political power. Now, what happened after Fubara had seized power is immaterial. Fubara lived up to the principle of "never outshine your master " while he was under Wike and got "rewarded" based on that law of power. If he decides to be independent now that he is the governor, it is his own decision and that law doesn't apply again.
PoliticsRe: Mudashiru Obasa Impeached, Mojisola Meranda Becomes Lagos Assembly Speaker by Focusmind: 2:13pm On Jan 13, 2025
fuckJones:
law number one: Never outshine the master"

Always ensure those above you (in politics, business, organizations, etc.) feel superior. Remind them of their position tactfully. While showcasing talent is tempting, avoid making your superiors feel insecure. Boosting their ego strengthens your path to power; undermining them will backfire

When it comes to power, outshining the master is perhaps the worst mistake of all.

Those who attain high standing in life are like kings and queens: They want to feel secure in their positions, and superior to those around them in intelligence, wit, and charm. It is a deadly but common misperception to believe that by displaying and vaunting your gifts and talents, you are winning the master’s affection. He may feign appreciation, but at his first opportunity he will replace you with someone less intelligent, less attractive, less threatening
I so much love this. If you are still in corporate Nigeria, please listen to this "law of power" that has been expounded by fuckjones. I keyed into this particular "law of power", "never outshine your master", early in my career and I wasn't disappointed with the outcome. I am no more in a paid employment. But if you are in a paid employment or under the tutelage of a politician, a "money-miss-road" millionaire or a money bag, please follow this principle

So, these ones are also part of the most sort-after male children for some families? Some men could do anything to have a male child, who may later turned out like these one here. Give proper training to your kids, irrespective of the gender and watch them develop into a responsible adults.
Foreign AffairsRe: Canadian PM, Justin Trudeau To Announce Resignation Today by Focusmind: 1:13pm On Jan 06, 2025
The heat was simply too much for the young man. The pressure just became unbearable. Congratulations to the anti-immigration opposition party as they may likely win the next election. Canada is set to tighten immigration rules. The bar for PR is going to be out of reach of many. I foresee lots of international students returning back to their respective home countries after their studies as their wont be any PR.
PoliticsRe: Tinubu Arrives Enugu In Style (Photos) by Focusmind: 9:17pm On Jan 04, 2025
SalamRushdie:
This Tinubu is already calculating his 2027 electoral map , beleive it or not this state visit has every thing to do with that map
The governor is a very good friend of Wale Tinubu, the Oando guy. The two has been into oil business for long and this has brought Mba and Tinubu together in the past. Trust me, Mba is heading to APC. He has been avoiding PDP and hardly participate in any crucial gathering of PDP. PBAT has seen in him a dependable ally. The governor has also benefited greatly from Tinubu's Lagos boys as his business is booming in Lagos, thanks to Tinubu and his boys. The governor is in the good books of the Lagos political establishment.

....Then, ask questions when you don't understand things. UI was still a college of UCL, an arm of the University College London as at when UNN was established, making UNN to be the first locally owned Nigerian University to be established.
SportsRe: CAF Made Me Believe I Won - Achraf Hakimi by Focusmind: 7:56am On Dec 22, 2024
Isa Hayaouta, the former CAF boss would have given that title to Hakimi. That man showed Nigeria pepper. Very biased against Nigeria's interests during his time as CAF boss.

Dead on arrival!!! You guys had the best of chances in 2023 and squandered it. Even Buhari threw the contest open, yet, you guys failed to read the message. Tinubu till 2031!!! undecided

People should always utilize their opportunities once it comes. Do not procrastinate or wait for the right time, as the right time may never come.

He should know that once a person is declared as president- elect, his status changes. DSS and SSS takes over the protection of the person. Whether you were with him an hour before the declaration or not. If you were with him an hour ago and left him to attend to some other things and they declare him the winner of the election, you wont be able to access him again. He would be under the State's protection. Same is happening to Trump in US. He is under full US State protection and not easily accessible as it was before the elections.

TravelRe: Dont Come To Canada - It Is Japa To Sapa - Many People Are Living In Poverty by Focusmind: 7:36am On Dec 15, 2024
In as much as Canada is tough now, I wouldn't use this guy as a yard stick. His appearance, poise, professionalism and demeanour are already against him. My person is there now, working in a mental home shelter. At least, the person is seeing close to $4900 every month and the person has been there just a little over a year. It was tough as more than 300 applications were sent before one clicked. Canada is tough now, but if you have funds to sustain yourself while you job hunt, no problems. But if you don't have money to sustain yourself while you navigate through the job market, na OYO!!! Please, go with sufficient funds and never rely on working to pay your school fees. Jobs may not come for the next 9 to 12 months.
PoliticsRe: ‘ Terrorism’: Finland Freezes Simon Ekpa’s Assets by Focusmind: 7:20am On Dec 15, 2024
The ignorance of some of the supporters of this man back home is legendary. Terrorism has taken firm root in the SE and these ignorant supporters are still supporting and defending him and his nefarious activities. You can't move freely in a prado or land cruiser SUV in some places in SE and some people are happy with it like that. Some areas are becoming largely ungoverned as police and security agencies have abandoned their positions because of regular attacks on them. Those places have been taken over by terrorists, settling scores and virtually became government onto themselves and the people within those localities
Foreign AffairsRe: South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol Impeached Over Martial Law Crisis by Focusmind: 12:30pm On Dec 14, 2024
Democracy in some of these South East Asian countries is the best. It could be extreme, sometimes and they don't joke with the rule of law. China, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, and even Malaysia. The Western Democracy is learning democracy and rule of law where these countries are. Their institutions are extremely strong and accountable. Do anyhow, you see anyhow undecided
CrimeRe: Lagos Bizwoman, Oluremi Phillips Jailed 17 Years For ₦‎57.6 Million Fraud by Focusmind: 8:59am On Dec 13, 2024
Fear "brief case" businessmen and women.

I can bet that the so called Omritas Energy is a one room office, where the woman uses her connections to get and execute contracts.

This is what happens in Nigeria with brief case companies. Some of them are also fraudulent. She would rather stay the two years in jail than to pay the N57m restitution.

If the court decides to wound up the company, they will find out that the company has no assets, except the certificate of registration with CAC. As the company is a limited liability company, the woman's personal assets may be protected, as the woman is seen as different from Omritas Energy in the eye of the law.

People are here cursing Reno without understanding the interplay between making controversial comments and making money off social media. Reno knows what he is doing and the controversies keep making him popular. Guy is cashing out big time.
PoliticsRe: Okpebholo: 'It Is Confusing Me' Edo T-Shirt (Photo) by Focusmind: 12:36pm On Dec 11, 2024
Don't blame him - blame the Nigerian electorates or those who selected him. The signs were there during the campaign when he could not say anything correctly.

I was shocked that some people were defending him, that he does not need to be sound in reading and writing to perform as a governor.
Foreign AffairsRe: Israeli Warplanes Pound Syria As Troops Advance Deeper Into The Country by Focusmind: 3:29pm On Dec 10, 2024
Syrians are going to miss Assad. The West and their media machines that were pushing on and cheering the rebels when the uprising started are no where to be found. Their voices have gone mute. Syria is done for good!!!. The rebels will bulkanize the country with warlords ruling its own fiefdom. A destabilised Syria is good for both Israel and Turkey. Those that supported the rebellion against Assad will not offer any help. The coming weeks and months would be interesting to watch.
