This man too dey talk. Sometimes, I listen to him. Why not name the government official? Or he is chasing clout as usual in his old age. Nigerians abroad always supporting protests in Nigeria. I don't like what is happening in Nigeria but I won't support any protests because of unintended consequences.
FamilyRe: What Do You Love Most About Your Wife? by Focusmind:
Her obsession for cleanliness - mehn, the obsession's is much. undecided
I de collect shredding sometimes when I mess up the toilet and bathroom after bathing

You don't dare mess her kitchen up, whether you are a visitor or not. She will show you how it is done

Once my niece or nephew comes on holidays, I will tell my wife to mellow down as their level of cleanliness is not at par with hers. I will also tell my nieces and nephews to ensure cleanliness and that their rooms are neat and the bed well-laid. Don't dump unwashed clothes for long time in the basket. I have somehow learnt how to be organized with my things, wardrobe , shoe rack and bathroom discipline. I lack bathroom discipline. Before, once I was done bathing, soap foams will be everywhere on the tile walls and the bathroom would be like where children played with detergents. undecided

TravelRe: Follow Me On My Summer Trip To Vienna Austria by Focusmind: 2:01pm On Jul 23, 2024
Nawao! My people, I thought I made a genuine personal comment, but the responses and attacks were not necessary. Ordinarily, I would have allowed it to pass but thought it necessary to provide some clarifications. I have said it many times, if you have money, Nigeria could be sweet and enjoyable. There are certain things your money can do for you to compensate for the inadequacies of the Nigerian state. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t have problems with living abroad. I lived in UK for three years and wasn’t just happy with the lifestyle and I preferred the lifestyle I had in Nigeria prior to coming to UK.

Nevertheless, it provided me a rare privilege to see the opportunities that abound in the West for hardworking people, and I was determined that my kids should have access to the opportunities that abound in the West. I remembered the challenges I faced, after getting to the final recruitment stage of Statoil hydro, Barclays bank, HSBC, Scottish and Southern Energy, JP Morgan and HM Revenue and Custom. One question always came up: "Do you have the permanent right to work in UK"? Once my answer was “no”, I won’t get any further correspondence from the HR.

I visit travel thread regularly to update myself with the required information as I am currently sponsoring two people in schools in Canada. I also guide my relatives and mentees on visa applications, admission processes, right courses to study and living life abroad as some of them have limited information on those things and they usually came to me for guidance. I have provided guidance to lots of people and former colleagues on PR processes and some have relocated successfully. Please, the decision to stay in Nigeria is personal and I don’t need any “mental evaluation” as alluded by ednut.

I don’t discourage anyone …. rather, I provide guidance where needed. That I made an honest comment regarding the calmness, tranquility and loneliness of Vienna doesn’t mean that I am in tune with chaotic and disorganized society. Finally, my patriotism is not in doubt o! not just on paper but in “deed and in truth”. Apologies to the OP

She is going to be hired by the top 4 if she's going to remain in Nigeria. KPMG, PWC, DELOITTE and EY, will jostle to have her. Not forgetting the multinationals and other top consulting firms. Education is not scam o! Try and graduate with good grades to stand a chance in the competitive graduate recruitment programmes.

Foreign AffairsRe: Nancy Pelosi Endorses Kamala Harris For President by Focusmind: 7:47pm On Jul 22, 2024
The mistake democrats made in 2020 by cheating Bernie Sanders has come to hurt them. Biden has put them in a state of quagmire. The truth is, they can't get a concensus candidate within this very short period. The only possibility, Harris, will not be a match to Trump. Democrats are desperate now and the man they taunted for the past 4 years seems set to become the president again. The worst nightmare of any Democrat. Kamala can't get the required votes......a woman for that matter! US is not yet ready for a woman president and a president of colour.

Foreign AffairsRe: I will not seek re-election as US President - Joe Biden by Focusmind: 7:03pm On Jul 21, 2024
Kudos to Democrats!

They are determined to see that TRUMP doesn't get close to the white house. My respect to Biden. I knew that it would come to this immediately Obama made that comment that Biden should "reconsider his re-election" bid. That statement from Obama was the final nail on the coffin regarding Biden's ambition. The democrats are also afraid that if Biden should remain, many of them would loose their senatorial and house of representative elections.

The new candidate would be up against a herculean task. Trump will likely roast the Democrats and the candidate that would succeed Biden, saying that they are coming up with a novice to challenge him. The election is Trump's own to loose. He has the momentum, currently.
BusinessRe: Dangote Refinery: We Paid Lagos State $100m For Land, FG Gave Us No Incentive by Focusmind: 6:57pm On Jul 21, 2024
This Dangote has been talking lately. It seems BAT is not ready to play games and empty our FX for him or supply free crude to him. I trust BAT, he is a businessman and not the usual politicians that have been giving concessions to Dangote. I guess BAT is asking for fair playing ground but Dangote seems to be playing the victim card. No more handouts and concessions. Pay as you go - Carry go, B AT!
Christianity EtcRe: Rev. Fr. Linus Okwu Flogs Women, Choir Members In Enugu Catholic Diocese by Focusmind: 6:36am On Jul 21, 2024
Some Parish Priests always behave like demi gods. What an audacity? The same parishioners that are sustaining your affluent life style? Diocesan Bishops in the east seems very weak. They give the priests too much power and influence. You don't try this nonsense in Lagos under Cardinal Okogie or Adewale Martins - you will "collect" immediately. No time to waste. But in the East, they will be "pampered " and invited for "discussion " to resolve the issue. That's why some Priests in the East are involved in their local and immediate family squabbles, communities and things that do not concern them. Some women that have any of their sons as priest, will have issues with other people, they would call any of their sons that is a priest, as if he was a police man, to "arrest" those they had gotten into conflict with.

Trump support base is the usual core white supremacist - may looking at them and their faces, you could tell the kind of people they are ( Red people). I am not against Trump but his core support base in US are people with racist and domineering character - If you want attack me, Trump is oblivious of your existence in Nigeria.

The level of anger in this country is something else. The way Nigerians yell at each other, on the road, in a meeting, within the neighbourhood and even at home is terrible. Some transfer their anger on their children and those living with them

EducationRe: MOUAU Lecturer In Tears As Her Students Surprise Her On Her Birthday by Focusmind: 9:26am On Jul 18, 2024
This tells you that Nigerian universities are full of sad lecturers, who lacks personal joy in themselves. For this woman to have been given this kind of birthday treat means that empathy and kindness are scarce words among lecturers in our universities. Things that are taken for granted in overseas universities. My lecturers in UK were superb, always ready to share ideas and listened to you whenever I visited any of them. My supervisor was excellent, sharing ideas all the time and supported me throughout my period of job hunting while in UK. In Nigeria, you hardly see that bond among students and their lecturers. Students are treated like trash by lecturers forming god for nothing.

Foreign AffairsRe: Houston Without Power Supply For 4 Days, Declared A City In Crisis (Video) by Focusmind: 4:00pm On Jul 15, 2024
My favorite city and city where I have most of my relatives, kinsmen and town's men. The update is frightening with looting and house burgling going on by the "akas". People's foods and other perishable items puts in the fridge have all spoilt. The hospitals are the worst hit and places, where preservation of things using electricity are used. Shopping malls have disposed of all their refrigerated items as all have gone sour and bad. Electricity is something that is taken for granted overseas and they hardly prepare for this kind of situation.
EducationRe: Little Girl Drenched in Cash by Family to Clinch School Contest Victory (Photos) by Focusmind: 11:28am On Jul 15, 2024
Nigerian parents could be funny. Everything to them is a competition. Even nursery and primary schools' inter-house sports that the school conducted, I saw how mentally low some parents could be, especially the mothers. Some were even mad at their kids, the MC and the referees in the contest. Something that was supposed to be fun for kids. Parents turned it into a place to show useless contest, argument and unnecessary quarrel with the school. Even contest like 100m dash and some athletics sports were contested and some parents were not happy that their kids lost out. Mothers should always put their emotions in check in public. Everything is not about we vs. them.
Foreign AffairsRe: Prime Minister Netanyahu Sends A Recovery Message To Donald J. Trump. by Focusmind: 11:10am On Jul 15, 2024
Netanyahu used the right word, "assassination". The word most US media refused to use, even the government. Netanyahu is sending a powerful message to Biden. If Netanyahu is to choose between Trump and Biden, definitely, he would go for Trump. He needs someone that can checkmate Iran and Hezbollah.

PetsRe: Missing Hyena Captured, Returned To Plateau Wildlife Park by Focusmind: 7:25pm On Jul 09, 2024
Nigeria's wildlife management is too archaic and crude. They need to go to East and Southern Africa and see how zoos, wildlife and game reserve are managed. This is what is attracting tourists, making the countries to earn huge foreign exchange from tourists. See how the Hyena is looking malnourished, meaning, it has not been feeding well.
