Rooney is so worn out that he quickly retired from football compared to Ronaldo.

I weak for Rooney Sha!
The laser hair transplant surgery he did on his head is affecting his overall body. He used to be bald before he did hair implant. There is always a price to pay when one decides to cosmetically change the composition of his or her body.

credit to ambode he was such a stylish governor.
You got it!!! All his signature buildings and structures are totally different from a typical government buildings. See the Oshodi interchange, even though I considered it an over built and other of his legacy structures. His Structures are more of arts and aesthetically appealing than normal building

This guy is too crude. You see the reason BAT delayed with giving him any appointment. BAT could be wise sometimes. It was Gbaja and some campaign members that pleaded on behalf of this Bayo before BAT finally accepted to give him something. Yet, he has been proving BAT right for knowing his kind of person. Where is FFK? BAT wouldn't bring that one on board. He would bring serious disrepute to the presidency.

I have lost faith in the Nigerian power sector tey tey! The reason I don't bother with all the trash successive governments have been talking. Imagine the statement: It would take at least $10bn annually for 10 years to improve power supply in Nigeria. What does that tell you? No hope! If you are a middle class or earning a descent income, just get your self an alternative power supply in form of Inverter and solar. I did and I never regretted. I run 20 hours on solar everyday and switch to NEPA late in the night because of no sun. By early morning , max 7am, the sun is out and I am back to solar. I use nepa when I want to enjoy AC. Otherwise, I am always on solar. It surprises me to see modern beautiful houses still running on diesel generator instead of flooding their roof tops and car shades with solar panels that could power the house with clean energy. Nigerian power sector is gone!
Travel › Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant Part 2 by Focusmind:
kad199:
student
You have to get your mind prepared for the worse. Work towards your mental health as the challenges of job search could be unnerving and depressing. My own person just got her first job after 9-months of landing in Canada. After submitting close to 200 applications. She is in the health and community services sector.

Prepare your resume for housekeeping, laborer, cleaning jobs, which they call " custodian " jobs. Depending on your discipline or even any discipline, you may do some certification in First aid/CPR, Safe food handling, Customer service certification, Security Guard certification, Smart Serve, Lifting, Positioning and Transferring. This is to enable you to be competitive for students jobs. The battle for jobs in Canada is fierce and you have to always tailor your cover letter and resume to each job you are applying. You may also have to take your resume to visit fast food outlets, malls, warehouses. agencies and construction sites to submit, for on the spot assessments. Thousands of international students are pursuing the few available jobs.

Why preparing your resume for a student job, leave out all those your Nigerian experiences out. You can't be looking for a "housekeeping" job in Canada and included your "financial analyst" job role you did in Nigeria in your resume. Its also better you do volunteering jobs in Canada and include it on your resume than putting all those Nigerian experiences there. A Canadian employer wanting to a hire a student for a job would prefer someone without a Canadian experience but had volunteered with a Canadian organization than someone with just Nigerian experiences. At least, the place you volunteer would be willing to provide you with references, which is a critical part of recruitment in Canada.

Job hunting now in Canada requires one to have good mental resilience or else stress and depression would affect your academic. The only exception is if you are loaded and could go months without requiring financial assistance. But if you must work to support or augment your finances, you have to brave for the huddles. Good luck!

Education › Re: Anambra Residents Protest, As Church Hijacks, Locks Up Public School In Fegge by Focusmind: 3:16pm On Apr 29, 2024
I understood why the Catholic church locked up the place. Most people that uses school's open ground for sporting activities during weekend usually damage things there without any consequences. I have seen it in Lagos, where Saturday and Sunday morning footballers usually spoil pupils' chairs, desecrate the toilets and other facilities. Lagos state banned the use of schools for those activities to stop that. Ugbomili primary school may have been a government built primary school but Peter Obi handed schools over to either the Catholic or Anglican churche during his rein for better management and so far, those two missions have done great jobs in managing schools under their care in Anambra State. It is sad that most neighborhoods in Nigeria do not have open ground for sporting and recreational activities, the reason why people resort to school grounds.
Politics › Re: Alaba Excel Abbey Assassinated In Ondo by Focusmind: 7:38pm On Apr 28, 2024
Has he cornered the campaign money alone? The kind of thuggery that goes on at the lower ends of politics is mind-boggling. Campaign coordinators are known to control huge resources distributed by their principal. Some of them will pocket some without carrying other members of the thugs along. RIP to him. Nigerian politics is not for the faint hearted.
Health › Re: Passenger Dies Inside Bus In Kwara by Focusmind: 8:52am On Apr 26, 2024
Road safety officials work is now to be confirming accidents and casualty figures. They have abandoned their core duty of high way patrol and enforcement and seizure of articulated vehicles on federal highways. They are everywhere in the inner city centers, harassing motorists going about their normal business. Imagine if the FRSC within that axis was on a regular patrol, they would have picked up the victim, apply CPR/FIRST AID, and take him to the nearest hospital. They only appear when the damage has been done, to evacuate bodies in their pickup vehicle. FRSC should go back to the law that established them under IBB. Their job is on the federal high ways not on the hidden corners of inner streets in various cities in Nigeria.

Unmet needs is driving lots of Nigerian professionals, crazy abroad. My town union keeps hearing about marital brawl between some of our town's couples abroad, bordering on infidelity, finances, disrespect and bills sharing. Some men that were previously doing well in Nigeria have struggled to land descent jobs abroad, while their wives that used to be respectful before has now become the "tormentor- in -chief" to the man. Some men have also become jealous because of their wife's perceived success. If you are not emotionally and mentally strong, japa is not for you

Something must be wrong with this country. Things that other African countries easily pulls through will be a rocket science when it gets to Nigeria's turn. One minister that said that generating electricity is not a rocket science, left the electricity worse than it met it as a minister. What is wrong with our country, bayi?

I will never understand how this rape thing works because how can a man be having erection inside violence?

How will the penis gain erection during struggle and force needed to carry out rape.

Lastly I don't think I can be raped kos there'll never be that moment I'll open my legs, I will just be shouting, fighting, biting, rolling and turning everywhere so how will he now enter?
They will soon ask you for "pictures or I don't believe" you crew. grin

But is it that the contractors that did these jobs do not know what landscaping is or what? I don't know why government contractors do this kind of thing. They will finish a construction and the site will be littered with abandoned building materials, left overs and no attempt at landscaping, either green grassing or interlocking or normal German floor.
Foreign Affairs › Re: US Senate Passes $95.3b Package For Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan And Indo-pacific by Focusmind: 10:40am On Apr 24, 2024
See money, bikonu! Money that can reduce worldwide poverty by a decent level. Is it because they can print dollars? Russia will still destroy most of the arms and the remaining will be looted by the corrupt Kiev regime and the cycle goes on. Where are the so called " Leopard " tanks requested by Ukraine from Germany, which hundreds of them were sent for the Ukrainian counter offensive? 90% of the Leopard tanks have been put out of action by Russian anti tank and supersonic drone attacks. Ukraine should simply negotiate with Russia and ask America and EU for money to reconstruct Ukrainian infrastructure. Ukraine can never defeat Russia , militarily. Who is giving them this hope? The war mongers in both Brussels and Washington or what?

On the funny side, US is giving Ukraine $61bn while UK is providing a meagre £500m. grin. US na your mate? UK and frugality be like 5&6
Business › Re: Buhari, Tinubu Took Nigeria’s Economy 18 Steps Backward In 9 Years - FIJ by Focusmind: 10:26am On Apr 24, 2024
Buharis aloofness is legendary. Nothing matters to him except himself. Even his wife and to some extent, his kids did not matter to him. His non challant attitude to issues will make you to question his sanity and commitment to Nigeria's economic growth. Thank God, President Tinubu, despite his perceived short comings, is totally different from Buhari in approaching things. At least, he is communicating his economic policies and his team are engaging Nigerians. He is always swift once there is a public outcry on issues and he has never failed to own up to any mistakes since he came to power. But for Buhari, I have not seen such a leader! Senator Shehu Sani may have a name for Buhari but I can't seem to see any in my dictionary.

I just checked to see who is the minister of education and the commissioner for education in FCT and found out that you are right. Till thy kingdom come, they may not issue any statement regarding the issue. Since Wike came on board as FCT Minister , I started wondering what Buhari's FCT Minister did for 8 years. Some people are just too docile. That former FCT minister is one. Typical of Buhari kind of person.

If he doesn't grab the opportunity, Nigerian society will make him fade away. But I have to trust his parents/guardians/teachers on that anyway.
Nigeria is a country where those who are naturally supposed to be doctors and nurses end up becoming bus conductors or at best given Agric courses or Zoology while the below average students end up becoming Medics and doctors
You are right. Nigerian system is not structured to harness the talents of her citizens. Lots of talents are utilising their talents in other countries. Our educational system should be geared towards more productivity and the system should be able to reward exceptional talents like Ositade.

Even Road safety people are now becoming a nuisance. People that should be patrolling the federal high ways to rescue accidents victims, will be somewhere, hidden in an inner city, stopping private vehicles for one stupid papers. They are just becoming annoying. People will be on their way to work, you will be stopping their cars and be searching for rubbish. I was happy when El Rufai and Ambode banished them from the city and States Roads. They are now back everywhere in Lagos, disturbing motorists. They should be on the high way, rescuing people and inspecting public transportation vehicles.
Crime › Re: Five Children Die In Abandoned Car In Niger by Focusmind: 8:12am On Apr 23, 2024
The carelessness of some parents in Nigeria, especially those at the bottom of the pyramid will want you to beat some of them. Poverty doesn't take away common sense. These people could be too careless and dumb. One was selling something in the market and her kids were just everywhere, roaming around without control. Keke almost killed one. Don't just leave your kids to the streets because you are hustling. Who asked you to bring them before? You should have continued with your hustle and allow them to be were they were. Some people have bastardized parenting in this country because they are poor. If you can't train your children properly, don't bother procreating. It is not a competition. Don't born and expect someone to train them for you. If you are poor , just face your Poverty alone. Don't bring children to follow you in your Poverty. We already have lots of idiots and armed robbers, who were from poor and broken homes.
