Car TalkRe: What Advice Will You Give This Driver? by Focusmind: 7:42pm On Jan 17, 2024
Lots of men pass through "hell" to put food on the table for the family. The risk men take just to support their families is amazing!

You see those rickety cars, loaded with food stuffs being transported to market, some will breakdown on the road and you will see the poor driver, sweating it out alone to fix the car so that the journey will continue. It is not easy.
PoliticsRe: Why I Didn’t Sack Ex-CBN Governor, Godwin Emefiele – Buhari by Focusmind: 11:54am On Jan 17, 2024
Buhari and his non challant attitude is like five and six ---something sinister will be happening under his watch, he would pretend and became unconcerned......probably waiting to be informed. Just like Shehu Sani said, if the Betta Edu saga had occurred under Buhari, you wont even see any action from him. Buhari seemed too aloof and cut off from the people. I can bet that he did not know most of his ministers. It is even surprising to me that he talked about justice and fairness, two words that were scarce throughout his rein. Was he waiting for Emiefele to tell him that he was contesting with all those overwhelming evidences? Buhari's inaction throughout his rein put Nigeria in the current precarious situation. The looting that happened in that administration is better imagined. President Tinubu should take his searchlight to the transport ministry, Attorney General and Minister of Justice office, Humanitarian ministry and other cash cow agencies during Buhari's tenure for recovery of supposedly looted funds.

Make una leave all this una first class thing.....Most first class materials are not creative. I will rather have a child that is creative, skillful and smart with great motor and cognitive abilities than having a first class nerd.

Why these people like Hope like this ?

In the past 8 years imo has seen the most presidential visit aside from the two president home state
grin I don't know how the man does it. Imo state was the state visited most by Buhari. Now it is Tinubu! But its all good for Imo people. As long as the governor can get the federal government to finish some federal projects in the state, no problems. Also, Tinubu needs the support of every Nigerian to succeed. SE should also rally round him. He is now the president and I see him surpassing Buhari's uninspiring tenure. Tinubu should prove everyone wrong!
CelebritiesRe: 80% Of Olu Jacobs Time No Longer Here, Says Wife by Focusmind: 6:44pm On Jan 15, 2024
The way this man interprets his roles in movies, you will be marvelled. Make him an "Igwe" in a movie, he would perform like an "Igwe". Make him a corporate executive, he would act like an MD of a company. Tell him to play the role of a typical Nigerian politician in a movie, he would excel. Exceptionally talented actor. May God grant you more strength of health of mind and body. Dementia and Alzeimah diseases are something else. It makes a complete man loose his senses and being.

LilMissFavvy:
Even if it is not acted, they are abusing her rights as a human being. A right to privacy. Very annoying video.
Do we even know what privacy is all about in Nigeria? Bringing her out in the public to make those comments by the pastor constituted intrusion of privacy. It is all about making things theatrical in Nigeria to entertain the audience. People's privacy should be respected. But this hardly happens in Nigeria. Even as a care giver abroad, you must be sensitive and respectful of the privacy of the people you are providing personal care to

CareerRe: This Happened In My New Work Place. Please advice by Focusmind: 12:59pm On Jan 13, 2024
You can't function properly. It will be extremely difficult for you to function. People are respected in organisations in Nigeria based on their pay level and not necessarily on positions. When an external auditor or regulator sees the salary structure of the company, they ranked it to determine the most important people based on earnings. Earnings is a big motivation. Forget all these people that will tell you that earnings doesn't matter . That what matters is the experience you get. Bro, earnings among work colleagues matters....it brings more respect and bargaining power if you want to move to other organisations or apply for the most sought after visas

FamilyRe: My Wife And 1 Are Expecting Our First Child And This Is What Is Happening by Focusmind: 8:39pm On Jan 11, 2024
I didn't even spend up to 20k during my own first child. We got all children's things during my wedding. Lots of baby gifts ranging from bed, sets of feeding bottles, cartons of pampers, baby carseater, Player and bicycles. After the birth, those coming to see the new born came with Lots of things. I was at the peak of my banking career then, so office people came with their own loads of baby things, friends, alma matre, church societies and town union. At least, I visited those before me to present gifts to them , so, most came to repay back the gifts I gave them during their's .

......And she must have celebrated the day she got the offer letter from the bank. Depression is just too wicked. Mental health and strength is very necessary. Rest in peace, young lady. Your support system seemed to have failed you. Please, speak up if you are passing through any form of stress or mental imbalance. A friend whose wife was in Canada, called that she had broken down from hectic school work, assignments and no support system to cope with and needed to come back home. Omo, my guy refused but I had to talk to him, which he later agreed.

She had to defer her studies to return back to Nigeria this last Christmas pending when she is mentally strong to continue with her studies...... this was someone that had not been in school for the past 11 years, selling baby clothing online and knew no jack again about studies. Going to school with her two kids was so overwhelming, which I understood, but the husband was looking at the money he had committed in the program. Thank God, good wisdom prevailed. Sometimes, it is good to speak up about your challenges and difficulties so that help could come. Don't mind those that may not like your decision or action. Mental health is real!

Oshimen should have used this opportunity to put up a decent and thought provoking response than this his gutter response. Yes, he has the right to feel angry but he shouldn't have just responded in that manner. He could still have insulted the man in a manner that would make the man more envious. PR and press releases are important when you reach certain levels.

PoliticsRe: UNILAG To Graduate 379 First Class Students At 54th Convocation by Focusmind: 7:09pm On Jan 10, 2024
Raskimonojendor:
That's because most engineering grads leave the country for masters abroad. They mostly will not come back due to higher standard of living in those countries.

However, alot of my now retired professors at OAU finished from Urbana, Stanford, Yale e.t.c in the 1960s -1970s. They taught us in the early 2000s with outdated books and text as well. That means the Nigerian corruption also kills talent.

A particular course, Engineering physics was set up in the era of Obasanjo in the late 1970, so that the graduates from the program can help build Nigerian nuclear power stations. Some of the graduate from that program ended up being lecturers at OAU and fell to the Nigerian system as well. One of the Drs then use to do rentals as side hustle to add up to his salary. If the guy had japa-ed back in the 1980s after graduation, his case might have been different, and he could have been rubbing shoulders with the likes of Barth Nnaji.
Very apt! The sad reality of Nigeria! You are right with that " Engineering Physics " explanation. It was set up by OBJ, of which Shagari took it further to set up the four Federal Universities of Technology in Owerri, Akure, Bauchi and Minna to give effect to that Obasanjo's program. Sadly, the dream died the usual Nigeria way.

My worry is, at the end, not much impact is felt in terms of research and production, which is the end product of any education, academic and research institutions all over the world. Our educational system and its products should be responsive to the yearnings and developmental needs of the country. Greater percentage of the first class are already seeking for further studies outside the country, where they will later reside permanently. David Akanmu won't even do his NYSC before he secures scholarships to top schools in US.
BusinessRe: Do You Ever Feel Guilty Spending Lavishly Knowing Many Are Poor by Focusmind: 2:33pm On Jan 09, 2024
It happens.....I do experience that sometimes but I am not an extravagant person. In my house, there is no food waste. If you try it, na me and you that day. Some of my relatives that comes for holidays are guilty of this......you will go to the kitchen after each meal, you will see some left over foods on the plate. I had to ask them whether they didn't know the quantity they could finish? Same with bread, you will see some leftover slices. It's now a rule......Once you come, you will be read the rules and regulations. People are hungry and are on the streets. There should not be any waste. However, once in a while, I indulge myself in what I like to eat, wear, visit or to provide comfort to myself without considering anything. At least, I have to enjoy my hardwork.
