Travel › Re: Widow, Son Cry, Beg As They Win Bid To Buy Back Their Car For 450,000 by Focusmind:
Lagos will reset your brain. I don't go anywhere in Lagos with my car if I am not conversant with the road networks there. Forget Google maps. I rather enter bus and save myself stress and lastma problem.

Last two Sundays, my wife wanted me to take her some where in Idumu for her friend's Child dedication. I just didn't know that route very well and I told her I would follow her on condition that we have to use public bus. Though she didn't like it but this is Lagos. Law enforcement officers here are wolves.

Latsma is full of wicked and frustrated fellows. I don't like people breaking the law but auctioning the car of that struggling man was quite excessive. He must be a " drop taxi" or car hire service man. His cry touch me sha. That may be his only source of livelihood in this repressive country.

I hope when our politicians are caught looting, the punishment should also be severe.

What of those that studies Diplomacy, Law And Global Change?? Do they fare any better. Any respond given will be appreciated. I am applying for this into conventry uni
Let me help you. Please abort mission on that program except if you are from a wealthy home. Leave all these fancy courses with names. I will rather you pick Social work, Community and gender studies, if you are that interested in social sciences. If you are lucky with any health care related course, please go for it. Dont waste your money in any other social science course apart from the ones I mentioned. Good luck!

Travel › Re: Netherland Or Canada - Where Should I Go? by Focusmind: 4:38am On Sep 14, 2022
Honestly, I don't understand our obsession with this citizenship of a thing. See, if you live in Europe and work in a professional jobs, earning good pay, you would enjoy yourself well and still retain your original native citizenship without caring about being the citizen of your host nation.

Your children, who were all born there or migrated with you, will still grow and acquire the necessary skills for a successful careers in EU without still being a citizen of the host nation as long as you are doing well. Lots of foreigners are living and working in EU without being the citizen and still enjoying the best Life could offer.

For me o, enjoying my life still remains paramount. If I have the same job opportunities in Canada or Ireland or Holland, I will definitely choose Ireland and then Holland in that order. Europe is too connected and you could easily drive from one European city to the next and the quality of life is not bad with Clement weather. Just as some one mentioned, transportation and commuting in EU is the best. You don't need car to get by. Europe is good just that there are no tailored migration policy, except for highly skilled people, as we have in Canada.

Europe is bae

Politics › Re: INEC Delists 1.1 Million Voters Over Double Registration, Ineligibility by Focusmind: 9:00am On Sep 13, 2022
Dont this INEC have seasoned IT expert? There are ways to isolate multiple registration and validate just one from the same registration.

I just finished doing a thorough reconciliation exercise with an institution where we had duplication and multiplicity of the same data from my Clients account but with different reference numbers. We noticed it and reconciled back, invalidating multiplicity and selecting just one in each case where we verified duplication. Here in INEC, it is outright cancellation, which will result in disenfranchisement of peopel and some people are here supporting it because it is perceived that greater percentage of "casualties" will come from the opposing side. Nigerians and their backward thinking.

We criticize bad things when it affects us but clap when it affect the other person. Greed and envy in all facets of our national lives. We should all endevour to hold government to an account to do the right thing at all times. The discuss above is so disgusting.

I so much love this. Environmental and building codes are not respected in this country. We can't boast of any standard world class city in Nigeria. please, don't mention Abuja and Lagos to me. You will always see the Nigerian factor in those places

I was watching a program on Euronews, showing the progress Algeria had made in developing their fintech. The reporter also showed a tour of Algiers, the capital of Algeria. I was marvelled. The city could pass like any European city. See beauty, serenity, aesthetics and trappings of a modern city.

Here in Nigeria, we glorify slums and praise our politicians to high heaven for the ghettos they throw at us. Soludo should not relent.

My Uncle died at Opi in June 1967. A fresh mint graduate of UNN, drafted into the civil war to defend the University town of Nsukka.

Any time Opi is mentioned, his smiling face flashes in my memory. On our way to UNN with my Dad in mid 90s for admission then, he gave me the detailed history of the great battle at the Opi Junction, where his brother was killed by the advancing Federal troops.
Business › Re: Naira Likely To Weaken Further - Zainab Ahmed (Finance Minister) by Focusmind: 9:42am On Sep 10, 2022
Why is she saying it?? You don't say this kind of thing in a country where there is no confidence in the local currency. A finance minister saying that she expected her country currency to depreciate. People will soon start taking position in foreign currencies, making the Naira to depreciate even further.

This finance minister is the least qualified. She always behaves and talks like a typical civil servant instead of an authority in microeconomics and fiscal policy. See how people will soon start offloading their Naira assets in favour of dollar.

PDP is making a big mistake. They are looking more like a joke

I like the fire Wike is giving them. What is so special about that grandpa, Ayu?? Before the PDP primaries, he was emphatic that he would resign if a Northerner emerges as a PDP presidential candidate. Now, he is singing a new song, calling a large chunk and strong members of his party " Children". That was so childish. Atiku should sacrifice that guy Ayu of a guy if he is still interested in this presidential election.

It was a pitiable sight to behold when I passed through Cele, day before yesterday. You see women with their children, standing till late nights, waiting for Keke that they could not struggle with able bodied men to enter.

The LASG policy on Okada is good. I could see the decency on the road these days. But people are suffering big time

Congratulations!! I give it to western nations, even with the so called racism, you are assured of first class treatment. The plane had to make an emergency landing in Austria just for her sake.

Use of overhead tank for home water storage is very common in Israel and middle East and certainly not in one of most developed cities in the world - Prague, Czech Republic

Smart guy!! I like people that use the common vegetation and natural environment of place to decode an area. One guy snapped picture of a very beautiful area in Abuja and told us that he was in Prague, the capital of Czech republic. The picture looked so foreign with the caliber of buildings and aesthetics around the area. In the picture, I sighted one overhead tank at the back one of the beautiful and foreign-look alike building. Boom!!! I told my friend, omo, your cousin is in Nigeria o! See that overhead tank. Take it from me, and truly, it was discovered that the guy man was in Abuja.

KINGBEN1:
The ban was largely observed in Isolo Lagos.

How long can this last. Lagosians grumbled, no alternative available as there was gridlock and many were seen trekking home.

I trekked from Iyana Isolo, i.e. Laspoly to Jakande gate today.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yp8HatusLWg
It's just that our cities are not well planned with pedestrian walk ways. There is nothing wrong with walking long distances. I did it in UK. We are simply too lazy and would look poor in the eyes of the people when we treck or walk. We would rather enter bike to move.

I like the decision of LASG. The sanity I saw on the road yesterday was encouraging. The whole okota road, isolo and okota environs were devoid of okada menace. Kids could now cross the road without the fear of stupid incoming okada that doesn't observe road rules.

We need sanity on our roads and streets. In coming years, keke may even be banned.

LordLugard1:
.See how the North is cheating the South.

Everything in Nigeria including Recruitment is done based on local Government.

Party primary election is done based on Local Governent.

Southern Nigeria has 17 states

While Northern Nigeria has 19 states including FCT making it 20

Kano state alone has 40 LGA
And Katsina 34

In the South Lagos has 20 LGA
Bayelsa 8
Some states 12 LGA

South East region having only 5 states is a cheat.
Why can't South East have 6 to 7 states just like some zone in the North have 7 states.

I am not from South East, I'm from South South.

This imbalance is what give North Super advantage in recruitment into federal parastertals

And also in choosing presidential candidates
Good points. The South is not united

Some people in the South will rather sabotage SE from having extra State. I do not want to sound sectional, but the imbalance in the number of local governments between North and South is unacceptable. Look at Lagos with the huge population, having just 20 LGA while some vast arid lands in North have more local governments without much visible human habitation
