The guy played a very smart card here. See how happy the woman is. Him no kill person. Na name him just change. If changing your name could change your situation, why not. undecided
Politics › Re: MTN Must Go! SA Must Go– Nigerian University Students Protest Xenophobic Attacks by Focusmind: 11:21am On Jul 11
Stupidity of the highest order! Channelling their anger at the wrong quarters.

MTN's impact on the Nigeria's economy is far higher than some of the Nigerian owned entities. These ones are looking for attention
Politics › Re: The End Of "I Pass My Neighbour"? Lagos' New Electricity Power Plants by Focusmind: 5:06pm On Jul 10
Those in VI, IKOYI and EKO ATLANTIC do not use " I better pass my neighbour" generator. Great idea from LASG but only few businesses within the aforementioned areas would benefit at a cost reflective tariff rates. Until a family in mushine, ojo, bariga or isolo is able to have uninterrupted power supply from the grid, the demon bedevelling the Nigeria's electricity sector will continue to torment the nation. I have given up hope on any illusion of having an uninterrupted power supply in Nigeria.

Suicideboy:
They sent lots of people abroad. My old man was sent to japan on loan from a friend there.
Wow! Interesting.

Eddy Onwumelu, another industrialist of their time, have all his children abroad and the his businesses died with him. Oliver Ilozue, with gigantic industries in Nnewi had no successor to his vast business empire
Business › Re: Nigergrob Ceramics Ogun:What I Found In An Abandoned Factory Established In 1974 by Focusmind: 5:48pm On Jul 09
Nigeria's industrial revolution happened in the 70s and early 80s.

Come to Anambra, especially Onitsha and its surroundings and see relics of massive production industries set up by entrepreneurial People's club members after the civil war. The industries have all collapsed. I wept when I saw the relics of the Olympics company at Abagana when I went for a burial function. The Olympic drinks was founded by Sir Joe Ozoemene Nwankwu, a founding member of People's club of Nigeria. I remember the fond memories of the Olympic Gina, one of the most sought after products of the company
Politics › Re: Ozonna Soludo Dances To "Shame On You Politicians" Song by Focusmind: 7:43pm On Jul 05
I feel sorry for Soludo. This is any father's worst nightmare. Having a son that has gone berserk and not a representation of what you cherish and values, especially, if you are someone that has achieved success

Nothing extraordinary - just a typical Nigeria's extremely low standard in everything. undecided
Politics › Re: FG Approved Recruitment Of 300 Staff For ‘Fake’ Presidential Council - TheCable by Focusmind: 9:17am On Jul 03
Reason why I will never leave this country. undecided

Money could easily come to you once you are well positioned, something you can't see abroad.

I must follow benefit from the " benevolence " of the Nigerian State in dishing out humongous benefit to those willing and ready to sing its praises.
Politics › Re: ADC Faction Rejects Atiku, Declares Chris Uba For 2027 Presidential Ticket by Focusmind: 10:55am On Jul 02
Did I hear Professor Chris Uba huh kiss

Chris Uba that Ngige retired from politics is making a come back in a grand style to do the bidding of the 5th columnists.

So , he is now a Professor undecided.

I am sure this Bala Gombe never knew who the guy was/is. Just that a hatchet job may have brought them together
Foreign Affairs › Re: June 30: SA Politician's Nigerian Husband Arrested For Harbouring 28 Migrants by Focusmind: 7:34pm On Jun 30
Justice505:
What is the need of proving stubborn, some body ask you to leave his country you are hide are you a bastard? .
You may not understand!

It is always difficult to leave a place you are used to and where you are making a living

The thought of coming home to nothing and hopelessness could be too depressing for many Nigerians abroad.

Some that came back never found their footings, considering the bad economic situation.

Most Nigerians would prefer to be in Italy or South Africa, selling things on the street and at the same time, living in a decent accommodation, with access to most basic amenities.

Nigeria's environment could be unnerving and depressing for anyone that have lived in a developed environment, even if it was lived at the fringes of survival.
Politics › Re: Nigeria Ranked World’s Most Generous Country by Focusmind: 10:00am On Jun 29
This may be true - In Europe and the West, apart from well known charities, foundations and rich men, the general populations are not that generous.

But here in Nigeria, you will see a plumber that is struggling still supporting his siblings, relatives and some neighbors with some hand outs.

Even me here, the begging from some folks within the neighborhood, church, streets would always make you to be compassionate and give once in a while. You cant see that kind of thing in the West. You will be asked to go and work or seek for government assistance. Nobody would give you a penny.
Foreign Affairs › Re: 14 Killed In Saudi Aramco's Helicopter Crash (Video) by Focusmind: 9:35am On Jun 29
Emeskhalifa:
14 people inside one helicopter??
Does copter carry that number of people?
Yes, mainly Transport helicopters, which can carry up to 40 people

It is used mainly in oil and gas to airlift workers to offshore facilities and during emergency and rescue operations.
Romance › Re: You'll Find Love Without Money. But Only When You're A Boy by Focusmind: 12:21pm On Jun 26
I will have to digress a little bit o undecided

If you are a struggling young man, dont follow the Op's story

Focus on your job hunting and how to scale on whatever you are doing

Relationship derails and distract people, especially when focus is required

I am not saying you should NOT date a girl if an opportunity present itself but dont be consumed in maintaining a relationship when you have a PRIZE you are pursuing, which is your career

However, if you are already made, you can go ahead and accommodate relationship and the distractions that comes with it.
Crime › Re: Police Intercept Truck Carrying 47 Sacks Of Camouflage & Drugs In Lagos by Focusmind: 9:08am On Jun 24
Nigeria is a BIG crime scene

Both the citizens and the government are in the crime together

Citizens committing crime against the State, the State committing crime against the citizens
Crime › Re: Police Arrest Abia Man For Beating A Woman Over Pot Of Soup by Focusmind: 11:44am On Jun 22
Na the woman go still go bail am undecided

I had seen it happened with the domestic abuse section of police in Lagos

The woman was practically begging the DPO to allow her husband go home that night

Police was insisting on detaining him but she was practically crying, begging the police to release him.
Politics › Re: It Will Be Over For Tinubu, Momodu Outlines Atiku’s Strategy For 2027 by Focusmind: 10:25am On Jun 20
I wonder how the opposition think that they would be able to unseat a determined incumbent. Someone that "won" against all odds in 2023. Now that he is in power, with full control of executive and judicial powers, you want to unseat him. undecided
Foreign Affairs › Re: See Why Trump Is Pushing For Iran signed agreement by Focusmind: 11:09am On Jun 15
Iran should gladly accept this proposal if it is what is on the table

Trust me, the Iranian economy would boom beyond measure, with billions of dollars pouring in and goodwill

Nuclear weapons wont provide food on the table of the people. Economic power remains one of the most powerful means of economic development and emancipation.

Switzerland, Luxemburg and Scandinavian countries are not nuclear power but enjoys the highest quality of living in the world.
Crime › Re: RCCG Pastor Gbenga Sanny Kidnapped In Ondo, Wife Escapes Attack by Focusmind: 6:04am On Jun 10
These kidnappers sef! They will always allow one person to "escape" to go and tell the story of the kidnapping and solicit for funds for family members held in captivityundecided

This has been the usual way of operation.
Politics › Re: Kwankwasiyya Dismisses Reports Of Kwankwaso Threatening To Quit NDC by Focusmind: 8:34am On Jun 09
Obi is not a politician

He seems to unduly overrate himself.

Nigeria's political system does not follow natural order.

You simply has to crawl before you could be positioned by the system for something higher

Obi and his supporters, have not fully grasped this order due to emotions and sentiments, which do not have effect on electoral outcomes in Nigeria

Kwankwaso is not in this alliance. His end game is 2031

Obi left a party, where he stood a better chance to achieve his aim, just because he wanted the ticket at all cost

Atiku and ADC would have provided him with good platform in other future elections if he had teamed up with them.

He would rather allow himself to be deluded thinking that 2027 will be same as 2023.

The goodwill he enjoyed in 2023 has evaporated and I doubt if he could garner the kind of support he had in 2023

See the way the owners of NDC, Dickson and others are embarrassing, dictating the power within NDC.

i see him getting frustrated within NDC before the election proper, except if he is there with Kwankwaso, to play the BAT card, which some have alluded to in the past
Politics › Re: “Stop Killing Our Children” – BringBackOurChildren Protest In Toronto Canada by Focusmind: 9:57am On Jun 08
A movement-like- protest is becoming impossible in Nigeria

Everything is politicized and tribalized.

People would profile the main leaders of the protest and determine if it is based on tribe.

The bond of unity has been broken in Nigeria, and the politician can go at any length to tag any protest against any government as a form of "ethnic protest".

I have left Nigeria's matter to Nigeria and focusing on myself.

You have to be selfish in this country and leave Nigeria to sort itself out.

Both Nigerians and Nigeria are not willing to do the needful
Crime › Re: Gunmen Attack Ben Nwankwo's Convoy, Kill Police Officers, Others In Anambra by Focusmind: 9:35am On Jun 03
Being inside a Hilux or an SUV in Anambra is becoming extremely dangerous, especially when travelling at night
Politics › Re: City Boy Movement Distributes Free Sanitary Pads To UNIZIK Students by Focusmind: 11:08am On Jun 01
Obedients should allow people make their choices.

There is nothing wrong with what the "city boys movement" are doing

You can set up your own charity and promote the cause of your own candidate.
Food › Re: When Artificial Intelligence Meets African Intelligence (Photos) by Focusmind: 10:23am On May 27
PulaPower:
I won’t be surprised if that picture you displayed is a Benin/Togo/Ghana women…

Those people sabi arrange things for head like..
Definitely Togo, Beninoise or Cameroonians. A typical Nigerian hawker lacks the patience to come up with this kind of thing.

Same is applicable to masonry works. Their jobs always stand out. Call a Nigerian, they would want to do anyhow anyhow and run away
Travel › Re: Bayelsa Airline Makes Maiden Flight by Focusmind: 5:22pm On May 26
Sadly, people are here praising the governor. Something that has no direct benefits to the average Bayelsian. Nigerian governors and waste of scarce public funds are 5 and 6

Politics › Re: Atiku Unveils Economic Rescue, Security Plans At ADC Screening by Focusmind: 10:27am On May 21
Atiku is still serious with this his presidency contest?

Since the opposition are fractured, PBAT is certain of victory.

Obi and Atiku have failed to shelve their individual ambitions and come together, PBAT is going to be returned, with even a higher margin of victory.

Politics is not by emotions - you have to be strategic

If you think that you are too popular and sure of victory, you would be humbled.
Politics › Re: Desmond Elliot Rejects Lagos APC Primary Result, Vows To Challenge Process by Focusmind: 10:22am On May 21
See how PBAT supporters and Obidients are united in their hatred for this guy

For once, I have not seen any dissenting voice on this Desmond matter

He seems to enjoy great deal of HATRED from all sides of political divide undecided
Politics › Re: Wike Praising God After Fubara's Withdrawal From APC Guber Race (Video) by Focusmind: 10:14am On May 21
Ironfaceman:
State capture in progress. But God will laugh last.
Which God? God has no business with Nigeria's affairs.

Nothing is divine in politics - everything boils down to actions of men.
Politics › Re: Crowd Turns Out For Solidarity Walk At Kwankwaso’s Kano Residence by Focusmind: 10:14pm On May 18
I wonder how NDC intend to fund their campaign.

2027 is not 2023. APC, controlling up to 30 states are ready to go for broke.

Obi had tremendous goodwill in 2023 and received secret fund from some governors in 2023.

Wike had already said it that Rivers state is a no go area.

APC will not allow the little fairness seen in 2023 to happen in 2027
Celebrities › Re: Tioruju Mondusi: My Wife Confessed That 2 Out Of My 5 Children Are Not Mine by Focusmind: 2:21pm On May 18
Offpoint1:
How married men don't know their biological child right from the day they were born or after a year baffles me.

Your biological child should carry your features or features from your family.

Even if they carry the mother features, some of your features will be visible. Nature isn't stű}pid
It also baffles me

The very day my kids were born, i mediately saw my and family features in them - very easy to see

Check the nose, the baby's yawning style, ear, lips and hair strands, especially the foreheads.

Get your own picture when you were born and compare it with your newly born baby

Men that are not involved in the growth of their kids are the people that likely gets this kind of surprise package from the wife.

When you are involved in the life of your child, it becomes easy for you to notice certain behavioral traits.

I bathed my kids when they were small and I talked to them, carried them, looked them face-to-face and i was involved.

There is no way you will not see your features or that of your family

Once you do not see any, you raise alarm and quietly do the DNA if you want.
