Education › Re: Daniella Owoeye, UTME Top Scorer: I Used AI To Summarise Notes, Studied Hard by Focusmind: 1:40pm On May 18
Mehn, see intelligent responses and answers

Even me got some takeaways from her responses.

You don't use social media to wind down the brain after reading or doing something mentally tasking, you walk around.

Going to social media as a relaxation mode keeps putting the brain into constant pressure, as it continues to assimilate lots of information

I had to download these her responses for my daughter

Brilliant chap!
Crime › Re: Bandits Kill 17 Police Officers At Army Special Forces School In Yobe by Focusmind: 11:07am On May 17
Hmmmm!

I hope this wasn't an insider hit. undecided

Security personnels may be setting some of their colleagues up for attacks by the terrorists.
Politics › Re: Amaechi Once Threatened To Leave Because ADC ‘Pampered’ Obi - Bolaji Abdullahi by Focusmind: 9:30am On May 15
Obi seems to be one of the most important politicians in Nigeria

He is being attacked by the government for not having him in their folds

He is being attacked by the opposition for not having him in their fold

But can he go it alone?
Business › Re: Femi Otedola Buys London Mansion For $72 Million by Focusmind: 3:42pm On May 14
I hope the property acquisition is for capital appreciation and not just to waste money on a house that he is not going to stay.

Nigeria's rich men and the gulf rich men have the same thinking - acquisition of luxury houses in London, which the crown court would later confiscate as proceeds of corruption and return it to His Majesty Revenue and Customs
Politics › Re: NDC Reps Meet Obi, Kwankwaso, Dickson by Focusmind: 1:44pm On May 14
Kwakwaso just dey behave as if his mind no dey for this alliance

He looks like someone that is being forced into this marriage

He is after 2031, knowing fully well that the NDC is the path for him to secure some southern votes, especially, SE and SS once 2027 is over

Guy man wan use Obi secure 2031 but sadly, Obi and some supporters are not getting the script.

Deep down him, he is aware that winning 2027 is a herculean task but he has to just do it for his own 2031

He believes that the the Kwakwasinya/Obidients movements would be a big force in 2031 when power moves north

Nothing you wan tell me....He is trying to secure his 2031 undecided

He and Obi can still alternate their positions in 2031 if they fail in 2027
Travel › Re: We Slept Outside With Mosquitoes - Adamawa Pilgrims Stranded In Saudi Arabia by Focusmind: 1:40pm On May 14
Religion is truly the opium of the masses. undecided

I will go to Jerusalem or Rome as a tourist, not to go because of any "god" or to pray for anything. I pray in my house

Dead on arrival! undecided

Politics is not by sentiments and emotions.
Politics › Re: Rivers 2027: Gov Fubara Scales Through APC Screening, Cleared For 2027 Polls by Focusmind: 8:39am On May 10
Tinubu can never sacrifice Wike for anything. He needs the man to "hold and deliver" Rivers for him during the presidential elections.
Health › Re: Fitness And Gym In Nigeria And The Rest Of Africa by Focusmind: 12:56pm On May 08
I have all the things I need in my house for workout:

Dumbells for triceps and biceps
Weights for push ups and upper body
Resistance bands for upper muscles
Sturdy chair for dips
Stationary bike for aerobics and cardio workouts

I regret not starting out on time. I look healthier and confident as a 46 year old man than I was in my 20s and 30s.

I have observed that some men in their 40s that workouts looks healthier and athletic than men in their 20s and 30s that don't workout

Politics › Re: Peter Obi & Kwankwaso Get Their NDC Membership Cards by Focusmind: 10:43am On May 04
MadPolitician:
Kwankwaso will mess up things.
He is not the kind of politician that Obi can work with. He has zero regard for the rest of Nigeria outside the North.
Kwankwaso is a very hawkish and sectionally minded politician, whose only stake in Nigerias politics is to fight for the fulani/north. I personally don't want him at the federal level under any platform. Research on that guy and all you see will be his endless tribal outbursts.

Again, Kwankwaso is very haughty. He thinks of himself as the biggest name in Nigerias politics even if his influence begins and ends in Kano where he did relatively well as a governor. I am not sure that the two have agreed on who should be the leading candidate. I think that Kwankwaso will struggle to acvept the role as Obis deputy. In his base instincts, he would see himself as the best candidate and Obi his deputy..., and he really means it..
Whether he accepts or not, do you think that Obi/Kwakwaso or Kwakwaso/Obi ticket can dislodge PBAT? The biggest threat to PBAT is Atiku/Obi ticket but since they could not agree, PBAT is retaining his seat.
Politics › Re: ADC Coalition ‘Train’ Still Moving Despite Obi, Others’ Exit — Paul Ibe by Focusmind: 9:40am On May 04
Atiku is coming to NDC to meet Obi there undecided

I am very suspicious of this Obi and Kwankwaso moves

Are they working for the big masquared?
Business › Re: UK Watchdog Fines Guaranty Trust Bank £7.6m Over Money-Laundering Controls by Focusmind: 9:27am On May 04
All these UK regulators are usually mean when it comes from banks that are located in developing countries

Just imagine slamming a fine of 7.6m pounds on GT Bank for regulatory infractions. Something they cannot do to their own local banks.

If we do same to any of their entities here, they will report to the PM and the house of commons and those guys would put pressure on our government to rescind the decision.

The fine was quite excessive in my own opinion. undecided

These regulators would always find a way to make money for His majesty revenue and customs
Politics › Re: Peter Obi Leaves ADC For NDC by Focusmind: 2:50pm On May 03
Atiku is coming to NDC! You must contest the primaries with Atiku undecided
Politics › Re: Obi, Kwankwaso Set To Join NDC Next Week by Focusmind: 1:59pm On May 02
Obi and Kwankwaso are BAT's mole in the opposition. These happenings have long been planned. NDC will be like Labour Party of 2023 that divided PDP votes. NDC will divide ADC's votes, there by giving the ticket to PBAT.

I wonder how obidients and Kwankwasiya expect to defeat PBAT in an election that is organised by PBAT. Atiku would be extremely disappointed in Obi.
Crime › Re: Nigerian Man Convicted Of Rape In The UK, Lawmaker Seeks Death Penalty (Photo) by Focusmind: 2:47pm On May 01
These British lawmakers are funny. The guy is British and not Nigerian. See how his nationality was mentioned as if it was because he was a Nigeria. The British system and society has built their value system around him.

If he was just an immigrant that migrated to the UK, he would have lost his deportation case. He won the right to stay because he was born British and grew up British.
Politics › Re: Atiku Invited To The U.S. To Speak At Congress by Focusmind: 12:59pm On May 01
It wasn't the US Congress that invited him. He was just extended invitation by a low ranking member of the Congress, who may likely lobby for Atiku, to discuss informally with some members of house committees and others on matters of urgent public importance
Nairaland General › Re: Egbin Power Plant Shuts Down After Contractor Dies During Underwater Repairs by Focusmind: 5:44am On May 01
bentenny:
This is why most experts go with their team and ensure some of them are stationed where the operational switch is to ensure nothing is touched during their repairs until they are done!
Rip to the contractor!
This is the best standard of practice. But some contracting firms in Nigeria are NOT compliant with standard safety procedures for their staff in out-of-station work.

During my NYSC, I worked with a power generator sales and service firm. A company called for the maintenance of armoured cable that lead from the genhouse to the main building. We were three that went from the firm for the repair.

I was with the main engineer that was doing the fixing, as I was supporting him with his tools. The other guy was stationed at the change over room. After sometimes, the security gate man of the building that wasn't around when we came, returned and was heading to the change over room to change to NEPA, unaware that work was going on, as there was light in the building next to the one we were working on. But our third that was stationed there shouted at him that work was going on,on the other side of the building.

Imagined if our third person wasn't around in that changing room, the security guy would have powered on the building why our main engineer was still holding and working on the armoured cable
Politics › Re: Kwankwasiyya Visits Obidient Headquarters, Signals 2027 Collaboration by Focusmind: 9:27am On Apr 30
Under which party? undecided

There will not be any opposition contestant in the next year's election, except if the Supreme court decides otherwise.

Sowere may likely be the only major opposition contestant against BAT next year.

I doubt if the Supreme Court's judgement on the ADC matter will be different from the judgements delivered by the lower court.

The best strategy is to move into other parties before the due deadline.

Kwankwaso would be regretting his exit from the NNPP

He would have use NNPP to accommodate ADC members and build strong leverage.

I am sure if Kwankwaso was still in NNPP, he would have asked the ADC guys to move and the ADC would have adopted his party without any issue.
Crime › Re: ASP Nuhu Usman Arrested For Killing Mene Ogidi by Focusmind: 12:05pm On Apr 29
Very barbaric from that Usman of a guy

I hope he did not do that to shield some powerful interests or to cover up an even greater crime

The manner and speed with which he fired at that guy, someone that did not pose any immediate threat, was suspicious

I hope the police inspector is not part of kidnapping syndicate, fearful that the victim may spill the beans.
Foreign Affairs › Re: Iran Offers To Reopen Strait Of Hormuz, End War If US Lifts Blockade by Focusmind: 7:40pm On Apr 27
NEVER underestimate the impact of economic blockade on any nation

Land, sea and air blockades could have disastrous consequences on any country.

Iran underestimated Trump's threat and thought he wouldn't double down on his threat.

Blockade effectively brings an economy of any country to a halt as economic activities dwindles.

Economic blockade by the federal Nigerian government during the civil war effectively crippled the Biafra government and brought the total collapse of its economy.

If this blockade on Iran continues, the economic woes would be disastrous

Note that sanctions is different from economic blockade, especially sea blockade.
Politics › Re: Backlash As Nigeria Drops $32.8 Million Meta Fine Over Data Breach by Focusmind: 3:01pm On Apr 27
I knew it wont work

If it was an EU regulator, then, there may be an iota of chance that it would be paid

It is difficult for countries outside the US, EU, Canada, Australia, New Zealand or Japan to fine a US tech firm or an EU tech firm.

The general belief is that regulators in developing countries are weak and are moved by corruption and corrupt tendencies to act.

Siasia has a corruption badge around his neck but seems better qualified for the job
Politics › Re: Change Of Guard: Wale Edun Hands Over To Taiwo Oyedele by Focusmind: 7:43pm On Apr 24
Finally, Sleepy Wale Edun is leaving undecided

The man lacks spark as a Finance minister.

Always looking like someone that just woke up from sleep

Taiwo is more eloquent and understands the Nigerian economy better.

A thorough bred professional with understanding of the workings of the informal sector.
Politics › Re: Kenyan President Hits Back At Tinubu, Mocks Nigerians by Focusmind: 4:35am On Apr 24
President Ruto made little sense with his defence but faltered when he brought the English profiency comparison, which was not necessary. He should have stucked with economic indicators in comparing the two countries. I am sure Tinubu himself didn't know when he mentioned Kenya in his speech in Bayelsa.
Politics › Re: PDP National Working Committee Moves To Revive Long Abandoned Building Project by Focusmind: 8:53pm On Apr 21
PDP thought that they would be in power forever and started a giant structure.

The construction was paused in 2015 after the party lost out in the general elections. undecided

Daddy Sam and Wike wants to revive the moribund edifice.

Wike may commit funds as usual, as the Patron Saint of PDP undecided
Politics › Re: FG Votes ₦1.4 Billion For Boko Haram Terrorists’ Trial by Focusmind: 6:03am On Apr 20
When you say that the conflict in the North doesn't concern you, you can now see how it affects you. Money that could have been used to take care of other pressing issues are appropriated for boko haram matters kiss

Christianity Etc › Re: How Premier League Stars, Others, Are Inspiring A "Quiet Revival" Among Gen Z by Focusmind: 12:41pm On Apr 19
The radical leftist FIFA wouldn't want anything religious but would gladly identify with LGQT people and their symbols. Very soon, they will ban players from making the sign of the cross after scoring a goal or kneeling to nod their fore heads on the pitch like Moslems.
Celebrities › Re: Veteran Broadcaster Temisan Okomi Is Dead by Focusmind: 8:15pm On Apr 17
naptu2:
They are just trolling.

I saw Temisan for the first time on one of the private TV stations in Lagos in the early 2000s. That's more than 20 years ago. Since then he has worked at Silverbird TV, Lagos Television, HiTV, Supersport and Classic FM/Lagos Talks.

He is a veteran.
......with these rich experiences, someone here had the mind to question why the late TV star was addressed as a "veteran". undecided
