No just do pass your power for this life. Do what you could and leave the rest. Take care of your health and check your vital signs all the time. Above all, exercise and exercise and exercise.

See class!!! Our standards in Nigeria is terribly low. Give a typical Nigerian government contractor this opportunity to design and furnish this kind space in Nigeria, you will be disappointed at what he would come up with. Archaic design and old school furniture will liter the whole space.
Travel › Re: 67 Passengers, Flight Crews Survive, As Valuejet’s Aircraft Skids Off Runway by Focusmind: 6:46am On Nov 15, 2023
Algaehuh

FAAN will not want to be indicted. They will counter Valuejet position as incorrect. Accepting that presence of Algae caused the skidding is indicting themselves of negligence in the maintenance of the runway. FAAN will rather blame it on the Pilot's error except if both FAAN and Valuejet reaches a "compromise " to both blame it on the "weather". Nobody can speak for the "weather", so it should rightly be the "fall" guy here in this incidence.
Health › Re: World Diabetes Day : Access To Diabetes Care by Focusmind: 9:05am On Nov 14, 2023
Worst nightmare of the elderly...…As a man, do not pre-dispose yourself to diabetics at this young age. It is not funny. I have seen people that are diabetic with its attendant health challenges.

Reduce your intake of carbonated drinks, sugars, heavy starchy meals and alcohol. Diabetics reduces the quality of ones happiness.

Christianity needs serious redemption in Nigeria. It has been thoroughly bastardized or rather, fast becoming an object of ridicule by some ignorant "Christians " like the resident pastor in this forum.

Education › Re: Herbert Wigwe To Build $500M University In Nigeria by Focusmind: 4:51pm On Nov 13, 2023
Top notch skills acquisition center is more preferable to University. If you see the kind of skill centers in Germany, you will know that we are still far behind. He should commit that money to building of skills acquisition centers and partner with City & Guilds of London for conduct of tradesperson skills examinations. Skills acquisition and blue collar jobs should be emphasized more than university degrees that adds nothing to the economy.

Family › Re: My Father Preferred My Younger Brother. by Focusmind: 12:08pm On Nov 12, 2023
Remain strong bro.

Some fathers always tends towards the more aggressive of their sons, thinking that he would be the one with likelihood of success in the future. The quiet and reserved ones are always chided.

Some fathers will prefer to go out with their more outspoken and extroverted son. The quiet and introverted ones are kept at home. But the reverse is the case with Mothers. They like and trust the more reserved, quiet and introverted ones. However, it is the quiet and the introverted that takes care of the parents more.
Christianity Etc › Re: Pope Francis Fires Bishop Joseph Strickland by Focusmind: 11:53am On Nov 12, 2023
Know this and Know the truth: The last Pope of the Catholic Church was Carol Wojctila aka Pope John Paul the second, shown below. All other Pope that came after him are just pretenders to the throne, including the current occupier. The current occupier has watered down the very value and foundation of the church in this his so called reform just to be seen in the good books of the Liberal West.

TV/Movies › Re: Remembering The New Masquerade Soap Opera (Videos, Photos) by Focusmind: 9:27pm On Nov 10, 2023
The program that used to bring families together in the sitting room, waiting for the show to start. 8:30 to 9:00pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays on NTA. My father's favourite program. I remember my father's laughter on hearing the Zebrudaya's English and Jegede's unending fights with Nnati and Mazi Ndu-kenyi.

Life in the mid 80s and early 90s seemed sweet and memorable. God bless Eddie Kwansa, the composer of the sound track of the New Masquerade. His music was used as the soundtrack of the new Masquerade. You need to listen to that music.....the guitar intro of that music is out of this world.

Credit has to go also to Mr. Peter Igho, the Director of news and program then. The man was a seasoned professional. NTA used to parade array of top notch journalists in the 80s and 90s. It was always spectacular watching the NTA 9 O'clock news with my father, discussing issues and having conversation. Children these days hardly watch news with their parents. Everybody is with smart phones and tablets behaving like zombies.

Family › Re: How Can I Deal With A Quarrelsome Wife by Focusmind: 6:56pm On Nov 07, 2023
My advice to men is to always establish the boundaries and assert their authority ab initio. Once courtship starts, show that you are in charge..... Don’t act gentle and holy, thinking she will love you more because of that. Na lie.....show your authority and be firm but don't ever shout or beat her.
Crime › Re: Oladapo Ogundipe: My Daughter Was Coerced Into Suicide By Her Boyfriend In UK by Focusmind: 2:27pm On Nov 07, 2023
Our ladies and their so called taste for porch and woke people.

As a parents, be interested in the relationship your daughter or son keeps. Do not say that they grown up and they can take care of themselves. Most of them are still kids and do not understand what relationship is all about. If any of my child starts keeping relationship or starts having suitors or going after suitor, i must know that person to their family roots. It is too expensive to leave your children to the society after going through a lot to train them.

YoungMom:
Please I need more inputs from folks that had similar experience in the past.
I’m a mum of 10 months baby, I got my student visa approved and my baby is suppose to accompany me.
I have booked our flight for December.
I have my fears on how to navigate a new country with a baby as a student, so I was advised to leave my baby behind, when I am fully settled I come back to pick her. Hopefully, my husband would have his visa approved and we leave together.
Please, what do u guys think? Will there be any issues at the airport and immigration if I don’t show up with her? Will I need to change my ticket and are there other things am I supposed to do? I am traveling to British Columbia/ Vancouver.
Please experienced people in the house I need your advice.
I am sure you must have received advice on this issue. For your mental sanity, leave the baby till you settle or when your husband joins you. However, if you have loads of cash to spare, there are daycare and baby sitters that will look after your baby while you navigate through school. Studying abroad is not easy....it becomes even more difficult if you have been out of school for long. There are lots of assignments, quizzes, presentations and reports to submit. All these may add up to elevate your stress level and puts you under pressure if you have kids with you without any support.

Honestly, it is quite pathetic!!

Some Nigerian youths and their mindsets needs serious recalibration. People spew anger and hate on immaterial things...…reason why progress has eluded many of them. You come to nairaland and read certain comments, you start wondering the kind of mentality the people you share the same country with have.

Nigerians have lost it!

See how they were all looking at the burning corpse like suya.

These were people's children and their parents did thanksgiving at their birth. So, what happened? Parents should be held culpable for misdeeds of their children. I believe that parental negligence contributes to children's bad outcomes in the future.
Romance › Re: When Your Wife Constantly Insults You by Focusmind: 7:25pm On Nov 01, 2023
Kai, I need to keep doing serious work on my boy that is still growing up to be able to man up in the future. Honestly, men should establish control right from courtship and never loose guard of their authority. I will advice men to always watch the lion pride program on national geographical channels and see how male lions establishes control, power and authority with duties and responsibilities clearly marked in his pride.

Op, I am not trying to feast on your situation but be firm in your action. I do experience that with my wife, likewise other men, but I always brought my authority to bear and she has no option. I guide her and entrenched that manly control, which she has accepted and has seen the benefit of listening to me.

I am not trying to doubt you, OP. But be sure the Job is genuine. Western countries hardly hire foreigners as paramedics. It is even difficult for a foreigner that is resident in UK, Canada or USA to be hired as a Paramedic talk more of hiring someone from Africa. To be a Paramedic requires lots of vetting and disclosures. Check well o!

Cmeo:
Now tell me why naira won't lose value and dollar gains in value if we could be using or needing almost $2m everyday to pay school fees on our children to school abroad whereas the same service is available here.

Apart from needing over $1m weekly to import hair attachment only not to talk of food items, etc. Our middle class craving for foreign things are majorly part of the problem of Nigeria.

The moment the country (Nigeria) bettered the life of some people and made them middle-class that can save up to 10milion naira, they ditch the nation and forget the nation that made them and face the nation that colonize them. This life is funny
Some important points made here...….once your status changes from lower class to middle class, your taste bud changes as well. Most importantly, lots of middle class Nigerians are no more seeing future for their children in Nigeria and fears that their children may not have the same opportunity they had as things get even worse..... reason why many middle class are taking the "japa" route and re-establishing their families in other countries.

Wsx2:
Well, there are limited pathways and nothing is promised , for those who are interested here is a video released this week by the immigration minister . Students are only aware that there are limited pathways when they entered canada. This has called for concerns especially by the indian population here asking the minister questions since they stopped their CEC canadian experience class draw which was what students hugely depended on to transit to PR. The minister promised to announce fresh pathways for those who are already in. Some in Atlantic provinces get PNP but that is also getting tighter now and requirement is getting tougher. This is because as of 2023 over 1.8million temporary residents entered canada within 2 years.

I have uploaded the video here , You can watch his speech below .like and subscribe.



All the best to everyone

The situation is becoming dire. Almost 830k international students will be out of status if urgent pathway is not created. Indian students have been protesting about their current situation, where most of them have ran out of status. My relative that got to Canada since July hasn't seen any job yet. Course work and assignments, coupled with Canadian lifestyle is taking a toll on her.
