Crime › Re: Man Slumps And Dies During Heated Argument In Kwara by Focusmind: 11:19am On Mar 26, 2024
I dont even shout at my children again under any circumstances or provocation. grin

There were things they would do that I would be like, if I beat you ehh!!! grin

I will simply walk away and go and chill and later call the errant child to caution him or her.

Same applies to the people on the street that offends me one way or the other, including unruly motorists and Danfos

Keep your BP lively and good. Shouting and anger is not good for the body.
Politics › Re: Kano Emir Welcomes Peter Obi To His Palace (Photos) by Focusmind: 9:21pm On Mar 25, 2024
This man no de rest? It is good sha, just that no electoral value will come out all these visits. There will not be election in 2027 in Nigeria. It will just be a confirmation of the current president and governors that are in good books.

Obi is wooing him already. Something is cooking low-key
Dreamer!!!!
If you think that any merger between Obi and El rufai would work, you are just dreaming. Obi may not even be on the ballot in 2027. You think any opposition would be able to unseat Tinubu? Very impossible. Voters apathy in 2027 would be second to none. Atiku or Kwakwanso may be the likely contestants against Tinubu and Tinubu would trounce them convincingly.
Politics › Re: Ijele Speaks Detained For Accusing Evangelist Ebuka Obi Of Fake Miracles by Focusmind: 2:17pm On Mar 22, 2024
Even though, I am not his follower, neither do I attend his crusades. The truth is, the guy is very influential. He would use his connection to deal with the so called, "Ijele" guy. The thing has even gotten to the office of Inspector of Police's office. That tells you how influential the Pastor is. Pastor Ebuka would surely deal with the guy.

Nawao! Yet, some acclaimed educated people haven't stepped their foot on any local government chairman's office. grin In this life, whatever trade you have chosen for yourself, be the master in that game. You will "go" places undecided
Education › Re: 2 Female NSUK Students Killed In Stampede For Palliatives In Nasarawa (Photos) by Focusmind: 11:44am On Mar 22, 2024
So sad!

We lack organization skills in this country - from the leaders to the followers - gross indiscipline and lawlessness and disorganization.
Why not organize the sharing of the palliatives in a proper manner? Must we behave like zoo? - I am so pained right now and above all, see how they exposed their corpses to everybody as if they are nothing!

When I was in the UK as a student, my school usually gave students some food items to cushion the effect of hardship some students may be facing, especially the international students. If you needed to collect "palliative" from the school's food bank, you book online and you will be scheduled the time and place to come and collect it in the school. Once you arrive at that time, your name was already written on your own items and you just pick it up. No stress; No queuing up. But you must come at appointed time or else you reschedule.
Politics › Re: Naira Will Appreciate, Dump Your Dollars To Avoid Tears – Onanuga by Focusmind: 4:45pm On Mar 21, 2024
This statement is just too petty.

As if he, himself, does not have a dom account or even a foreign account.

Some of these appointed SAs always behaves as if they love the country more than themselves, but when they leaves office, you start hearing
huge embezzlement from government treasury.

He should just maintain and allow the market to "punish" the speculators and hoarders of the currency instead of sounding the alarm that cannot be verified.
Business › Re: Naira Eyes N1,300/$ At Parallel Market As Speculators Offload FX by Focusmind: 10:14am On Mar 21, 2024
Good one, Cardoso.

Government should ensure that proceeds of corruption are not offloaded on the market, especially looted naira cash. This is one of things that causes naira to depreciate. Once politicians and their associates discharges their looted funds into the system, so much naira money will be chasing few dollars, making devaluation inevitable
Business › Re: ‘Form A’ Applicants To Submit Three-year Tax Clearance Certificates – Banks by Focusmind: 7:20pm On Mar 20, 2024
That has been the practice since last year.

I somehow support this - you cannot be asking for cheap government FX when you have not paid your taxes.

Just that there is no more difference between the official market and parallel markets.
Jobs/Vacancies › Re: Deloitte 2024 Graduate Recruitment by Focusmind: 7:09pm On Mar 20, 2024
grin grin grin

See anger everywhere from people above

This is why graduates from Covenant, Afe Babalola, Reedmer and Madona Universities are dominating graduate trainee positions in companies these days. They are the most likely people to graduate and do their NYSC on time before the age of 26.

I graduated at the age of 23 because I did a five year course in 2003 , completed my own NYSC at 25 and wrote more than 10 aptitude tests by age 26. Got a graduate trainee job with an investment bank at 26, which was the age they put during the job advert.

Graduate or Management Trainee position remains the best route to break into corporate world. An opportunity to be trained and groomed by a well-known bank, consulting firm, IOCs, Multinational or a "juicy" agency of government like NNPC or CBN is a sure guide to a "prosperous" career in the future.

If you are lucky to get such an opportunity, do not waste it.

HeroicMeastro:
After he come to Nigeria, he won't be the nicest again, he will suddenly become a typical Nigerian.
This is what baffles me about Nigerians. Nigerians could be very nice to Oyibo, even forming "phonetics " just to speak like them, forming disciplined person, nice, respectful and courteous. But once they step into Nigeria or interact with their fellow Nigerians, the madness, disrespect and arrogance starts. I hope he has his papers, otherwise he won't be allowed to return back. Most nigerians in US are not coming home because they haven't perfected their papers.
Family › Re: Why Is My Mother In Law Asking For My Genotype? by Focusmind: 6:17pm On Mar 19, 2024
See children everywhere.

Oga, there is nothing wrong with that as you are the child's father.

Blood group or genotype are usually asked in case of emergency to know if you could provide blood.

When my son entered nursery school, the form the school gave me to fill asked for all my details, including blood group and genotype

toyosiolamide:
Read sir....Wales PM isn't the same as UKs PM..Nawa
Oga, he is still right! The fact that he belongs to labour party, an opposition party in control of a region in UK, is a good one for the eventually defeat of Sunak in the general elections. It means that he would work for his labour party 's candidate, Sir Steirmer in the general elections against Sunak. Imagine if other regions, Scotland and Northern Ireland falls to Labour, Sunak is done in the general elections.

Can a white man ever be elected a leader in Nigeria?
Trust me, any white man that has guts to contest election in Nigeria will win. Some of us are tired of our home grown politicians that have wrecked havoc on the country. If a well-informed white man, seeks an elective position, I will be more inclined to vote for him than vote a typical Nigerian politicians.
Travel › Re: Gov Soludo Commissions 26 Km Amansea, Ebnebe, Ugbenu, Awba Ofemmili Road (photos by Focusmind: 2:59pm On Mar 15, 2024
The road looks neat. Anambra South needs to be opened up, being the food basket of the state. Anambra Central and North have been receiving development since the creation of the state. The human capital development in Anambra South should also be taken serious.
Travel › Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by Focusmind: 5:33am On Mar 15, 2024
I don laugh tire grin
Nigeria is just an assemblage of brain-washed religious fagots. Everything is linked to divinity...."God did it"; "God didn't do it for you". Even those with gross misrepresentation and lies and were lucky to get the visa, will come and sermonize about the result of their visa success, being because of God's grace and intervention. They are the "holy" ones that God loves while those that were unsuccessful with their applications are "sinners" and not loved by God.
You see the reason why pastors and politicians will continue to take Nigerians for a ride. Religious leaders will tell that every success that will come to you must be destined by God and the politicians will tell you to keep praying for Nigeria for things to get better. Yet, they were elected to make the changes for things to be better.

House 34 gave the most intelligent answer and I want to reiterate it again: Your success of receiving or not receiving visa approval is not dependent on God; it is strictly dependent your ability to meet or surpass the minimum requirements, with some elements of luck!
Family › Re: Woman Enjoys At An Eatery With Her Children, Maid Sits Unattended To (Photo) by Focusmind: 3:39pm On Mar 13, 2024
Everybody is now talking as if they are saint, including the so called women. Come to our churches and see stark differences between house girls and the free born. May looking at the children following the woman, you could tell the ones that are hers and the house girl. You don't dare try that with me. My girl and my children usually looks the same. Some have thought that she was my first daughter.

This combination of rice and spagetti no be for me. I dont know how people enjoy eating that combo.

If you want to eat spagetti, eat spagetti; if you want to eat rice, buy rice.

Anyway, Nigerians sabi combine sha undecided

Are you sure it's Isolo general hosp
Yes, normally dry but not that day I went there - two people died, one after the other
Health › Re: I Visited The Morgue Unprepared by Focusmind: 12:30pm On Mar 12, 2024
Morgue is even extreme - just pay a visit to teaching hospital or federal or state medical centers - you will see how people are dying per hour and been wrapped in white clothes. I was in Isolo General hospital in the accidents and emergency wards, you will continue to hear people wailing and crying and shouting. I had to go outside to the car stand shed to sit down. The sight was just too traumatic for me.

Health › Re: JAPA: No More Leave Of Absence For Health Workers Relocating Abroad – FG by Focusmind: 3:14pm On Mar 10, 2024
Nice one!

If you want to go abroad and work, resign and go so that your position would be declared vacant. Its greediness to keep up your position while you are in another country working, and some people in Nigeria are looking for job. You see this kind of thing in the public civil service. In private sector, once you japa, your position is filled immediately . Sometimes, it's even filled before your one month notice expires as you are supposed to put through the new person on how to do the job.

My respect to you. I like people with discerning mind and IQ. It's rare to see a typical white person converse in that kind of language. People are just creating content to drive traffic. You made a point most people did not notice.
Travel › Re: Norwegian Airline To Provide Crew, Aircraft For Air Peace’s Lagos-London Flights by Focusmind: 6:37pm On Mar 05, 2024
Even though, it is a starting point, but this is not what I expected. Nigerian Airlines still lacks capacity, despite many years of flying. UK gave the approval on condition that Airpeace would have to use an acceptable Airlines. Airpeace will be getting less than 50% of profit in that route while the rest goes to Norse.
