Properties › Re: Lagos Demolishes 13 Illegal Buildings Along Airport Road by Focusmind: 6:37am On Apr 30, 2023
This is home owner's worse nightmare. Imagine spending millions to put up this with all the stress of building in Nigeria, chasing your workers and artisans up and down. The owner seems unperturbed. He didn't bother to take out his AC and other house hold items. The trauma must have been unbearable and tiring. The people there will loot everything.

This Tinubu's 8 years won't pass me by. I am positioning for one favour or the other. If not appointment, then consultancy work.

KingSatan:
This is a lesson to "Japarians"

Nigeria isn't the only corrupt country. Even those who tag us as fantastically corrupt, are wicked and extremely corrupt.
But their systems have ways of checkmating those corrupt people and bringing them to book. You can't compare our own corruption to theirs. What is £800k to a typical Nigerian politician??

See Boris Johnson, a whole UK Prime minister requiring someone's influence to get a mere £800k loan. Loan o, not free money. This is money someone like Wike could easily give to his paddy paddy.

What happens when she conceives and put to bed? Pregnant or nursing women could be mean and resentful, especially to their house maids and those living with them. Very common with women from my part of country

Larryndelaw:
What Atiku supposed to do when the G5 told.him to reconcile the aggrieved party he refused. Tinubu used Jazz on him . Now he is going from pillar to post
He thought he could win without them. He was so over confident in winning the election going by the massive turnout of people at his campaign ground. I was shocked that Atiku couldn't reconcile with the aggrieved PDP members despite his liberal nature.

Health › Re: How Do I Boost My Immune System? by Focusmind: 4:19pm On Apr 23, 2023
How active are you? Do you excercise at all? Take walk round your neighborhood, even under the sun. Please do regular exercise to build your muscles, immune system, mental health and confidence. Also take Supradyn multivitamin capsules. These are my routine of healthy lifestyle.
Car Talk › Re: Driving Vs. Being Driven: Which One Is More Convenient? by Focusmind: 4:12pm On Apr 23, 2023
For Lagos, I prefer being driven o. The stress of driving and manoeuvring heavy bumper to bumper traffic, trying to avoid the useless danfo drivers and the ubiquitous Keke drivers from scratching or hitting your car could be discomforting.
Jobs/Vacancies › Re: I Just Got A Message For My First Job Interview by Focusmind: 3:16pm On Apr 22, 2023
Research about the hotel very well
Understand the various transaction taxes inherent in hotel business - VAT, WHT, stamp duties, PAYE and some other consumption taxes enacted by States government
Polish your communication skills. You need to speak fluidly and confidently with clarity and less ambiguity
Master the art of bank and account reconciliation very well - very key for any lower cadre accounting officer
Finally, you must have strategies on how to prevent fraud and forgeries. Fraud is very rampant in hotel business. You must convince your employer that you can put adequate control in place to checkmate fraudulent activities from your colleagues or suppliers.

Goodluck!
Sports › Re: National Stadium Lagos' Flood Light Pole Collapses After Downpour (Video) by Focusmind: 12:09pm On Apr 20, 2023
Every body shouting "zero maintenance" culture. Go to their houses and see decrepit and worn out things without well maintained and arranged. It would even be worse on those occupying rented apartments. Non challant attitudes towards our flats and common areas. The zero maintenance culture is engraved on Nigerians
Foreign Affairs › Re: India overtakes China as most populous nation, added 23m babies in 2022 by Focusmind: 11:15am On Apr 19, 2023
Indians will keep running away from their country.

Go to most Western countries, Indians are running there to live because of limited economic opportunities back home

They send the highest number of international students to Western countries as a means of escaping from their country.

If you are a student in Canada, chances that Indians will constitute 90% of international students in your class is high.
Career › Re: Must It Be In A Mortuary? by Focusmind: 4:07pm On Apr 17, 2023
Better go back to school and enroll in a nursing program. Alternatively, re-skill yourself in IT or human services and move there

There is no opportunity for medical scientists in Nigeria. The economy is not that diversify to accommodate that profession in employment

Politics › Re: Debate With Chimamanda Not Datti-Ahmed – Atiku’s Camp To Soyinka by Focusmind: 3:43pm On Apr 09, 2023
PDP don wake up! They are now afraid that LP is fast taking over as the "leader of the opposition" in the Nigerian body polity. PDP should have been at the forefront of opposition and attacks on the ruling party, but alas, they recoiled to their shelf waiting for the next general elections. They have forgotten that they are the main opposition party.

I wished I had a son that is good in football. I will get him enrolled in an academy and give him all the support.

My wife is busy shouting at my daughter, who is always coming top in fine and applied arts in her class instead of sciences and mathematics.

I kukuma warned her to stop. I went ahead to get my daughter a drawing canvas and some drawing tools during her birthday. I could see her excitement and happiness much to my wife's dismay. Her art works are amazing.

We should support our children in their respective aptitudes. Don't force any profession or career on your child. You are there to guide him or her.

This is really bad. How about health wise? Don't they inhale it? Is there anything they do differently or take to preserve their health?
The black sooth problem in PH is terrible. Just put white tissue or cloth inside your nose, you will be shocked by the level of black substance that will comes out. I visit PH regulary. In some areas, one could feel the intense smell of diesel on air. Touch any smooth surface, your hands will turn to black. I usually stay in a guesthouse along Herbert Macaulay street, old GRA. The hotel constantly paints their building because of the black sooth menace.
Politics › Re: Governor Wike Commissions More Projects In Rivers State by Focusmind: 10:59am On Apr 05, 2023
I like the way he used black sooth color to paint the building. The black sooth will not darken the color undecided

Most people in PH are now painting their houses with dark grey or outright black color. Do not use white or any shouting color or else, black sooth, couple with rains, will repaint the house for you.

Even the husband is late. What is the fate of the two surviving sons?? Hope they are also based abroad. The social services of their host country should be able to cater for them. But if they are in Nigeria, na oyo o.
Education › Re: Why A Mathematician Is Preferred To Someone Who Studied Banking For Bank Job by Focusmind: 8:03pm On Mar 31, 2023
During my own time, out of 60 people selected for the bank's competitive management trainee program, 49 trainees majored in engineering, natural and applied sciences. Only 11 came from business and arts. Yours sincerely majored in mechanical engineering. I used to smash SHL then. I had many practice questions then and decoded many short cuts to solving fractions, percentages, graphical interpretation and number sequences. Mehn, time has passed!

Asiwaju, please prove everybody wrong in all ramifications.

Use good governance, equity and economic recovery as a "weapon" against your detractors.

Things should not go on as usual in this country. Wield your power and get things be done rightly.

Let Nigeria rise again under your watch

Wishing you all the best.
Politics › Re: Umahi To Tinubu: Ayu Is Our Man, He Worked For Us. Integrate Him Into Your Govt by Focusmind: 6:15pm On Mar 27, 2023
PDP, G5, Kwankwaso and especially, Obi, helped Tinubu

Atiku was so confident of victory and had to ignore time-tested alliances.

ACN/CPC and some offshoot of APGA and smaller parties teamed up to form APC to defeat PDP in 2015

PDP had to disintegrate in 2023 to enable APC retained power

This is why I was skeptical of Peter Obi' chances at the beginning - You do not win election in Nigeria without strong alliance
