Politics › Re: Atiku Abubakar Announces Okowa As PDP Vice Presidential Candidate by Focusmind: 1:58pm On Jun 16, 2022
PENNYSWAP:
He needs to be Kwakwanso’s deputy

Core northerners won’t vote him as president
Let him be Vice now after 8 years then he can now constest to be president
Obi should have remained loyal to Atiku. I am still at a loss on how he thinks he would win. He seems to be over estimating himself and his Popularity. Outside the SE, Obi does not command any mass following. His supporters are busy insulting every body, thinking that by being vocal online, he would get the vote. The man made the worse political mistake of his life.

helinues:
SE have indirectly schemed themselves out from the 2 major political party in Nigeria.

Should Obi loss, the region would have to be in political orphanage home for quite some time
SE always behaves childish and emotional when it comes to national politics. You are right by your submission. They have willingly schemed themselves out of reckoning. The idiotic Obi does not even know the damage he has done to SE in the incoming political dispensation. He allowed his emotions to get the better of him by resigning from PDP, and to make it worse, joined a party without any capacity to win election.
Politics › Re: Voter's Card Registration In Port Harcourt - Eyewitness Report (Pictures) by Focusmind: 6:35pm On Jun 14, 2022
You hardly hear this kind of thing in the north. Every where is registration center. I heard something today on Nigerian info FM this afternoon. An INEC registration machine was brought down from Adamawa state to Lagos to register some indigen of Adamawa that are residents in Lagos.

The citizens of the state are expected to travel back to Adamawa during election to vote. The machine cannot be used to register any other voter except people from Adamawa state.

Chukwudi of Nigerian info shock sef when the caller narrated this story in his area. That the machine is currently in his area in Lagos, registering only Adamawa state indigens.

I am his supporter but this exercise seems too early. He should focus on building his election campaign machinery and the necessary contacts.
Politics › Re: Which States Will Peter Obi Win To Win The Presidential Election? by Focusmind: 2:05pm On Jun 14, 2022
Peter Obi is the best candidate in this election. However, the reality on ground does not project him to win. Honestly, I do not understand the permutations and the algorithm his supporters are using. Sentiments, emotions and outright blackmail do not guarantee electoral victory. The concept of "We Vs. Them", is not the right approach to campaigning, which sadly, his supporters are deploying. Some of his campaigners are even alienating other people who believed in his candidacy away. We need to face reality and understand how elections works. He may tick all the good qualities but elections are worn by numbers. This is why I respect BAT. He understands the system and goes all out to get his result, come what may.

Peter is just basking on the euphoria of social media attention and when reality sets in, his supporters will start shouting and insulting everybody. Peter does not have the necessary political structure to win a presidential election in the present day Nigeria. A handful of vocal online supporters do not guarantee numbers in the actual election. Alliances and friendships have to be built at the highest level of political set up.

This is NIGERIA!!!!!

Politics › Re: Labour Party Does Not Have Offices In 25 States Of The Federation - Bashir Ahmad by Focusmind: 9:45am On Jun 13, 2022
Obi's bet would have been to stay with Atiku. Atiku seems to like the guy but the way Obi's supporters are pushing him, thinking that the whole Nigerians are with them the way social media are hyping the man. Outside the SE, the few professional working class and independent minded voters, Obi still does not command enough power to sway people. Among the three leading candidates, he is my preferred choice but politics is not by sentiments. He needs to go out there and build alliances.
Politics › Re: 2023: Why Picking Wike As Atiku's Running Mate Will Help PDP by Focusmind: 9:29pm On Jun 11, 2022
That would be the biggest mistake ever. Wike is good no doubt but the man is not a humble person. He would create more enemies for Atiku through his unguarded utterances. Atiku may be shooting himself if he decides to give the VP slot to Wike.
Politics › Re: Atiku Abubakar To Name Wike As Running Mate - Tribune by Focusmind: 6:55am On Jun 09, 2022
I doubt if Atiku will pick some one as ambitious as Wike for a VP slot.
Politics › Re: 20 Power Plants Suffer Major Problems, Blackouts To Worsen by Focusmind: 11:07am On Jun 06, 2022
Worst time to live in Nigeria. Things are seriously becoming extremely difficult. Small businesses are crying because of inadequate power. Profits are being eroded by excessive reliance on generators and diesel to power their businesses. Insecurity has chased our investors and unemployment situation is projected to worsen in the coming years.

He did not live to enjoy his after years service. Those that did not work for the money will inherit the man's sweat and squander his money or loot depending on if they were acquire legitimately or not.
Politics › Re: Katsina Communities Deserted As Bandits Kidnap Women, Children by Focusmind: 9:22am On Jun 06, 2022
This is the worst time to be a security operative in Nigeria. They are exposed to lots of dangers. The FG have failed and Nigeria federation have been taken over by bandits, terrorists and kidnappers. My worry for the future generation. How will they live in a country called Nigeria in the coming years as the situation gets even worse.

signature2012:
An Hausa/Fulani should never ever Govern this country again.To hell with Atiku.

A man that has deputize the most heartless Administration should never ever be President of this Country.To hell with Osinbanjo.

A man that has never ever condemned Fulani Herdmens attack on the Yorubas but rather donate Millions to Northerners should never ever be given the to rule.To hell with Ojuyobo Jagathief.

Give Peter Obi a chance to turn this Country around.Ignore him being a Christian or from the East,we need someone with vision and purpose for the masses.
Someone who isn’t bias to rule.
Someone that can unite us all.


Una no dey tire for suffering?
SE alone cannot make a president. You people have not learnt your lessons, politically. There is no need insulting other people or foisting your intentions on them. Build alliances and give a handshake. The way some people from SE are going about this Peter Obi thing is alienating others that believes in him. He should be marketed well and not demarketed as most people are doing.
Travel › Re: School Of Nursing Or Bsc Nursing by Focusmind: 9:51pm On Jun 02, 2022
From what I understood about the OP's post, he wants the wife to enroll in nursing program here in Nigeria, get the qualification and use it to start applying for nursing jobs in those countries he mentioned. He didnt intend that the wife would be abroad with the kids, studying nursing. When she eventually gets job overseas, she would relocate with the kids. His intentions are not bad at all.

There are families like that, where the man is working in Nigeria and the wife is in Canada working and living with their kids.

I remember my NYSC in 2004 in Kano, when we went to visit our fellow Catholic Corpers serving in remote villages in Kano. I held my breath throughout the journey. See how Aboki was overtaken trailers and stationaries vehicles. It was even one rickety car like that, that we hired for the journey. What a riskhuh

Women from my place and maltreatment of house girls are like bread and butter. They don't seem to disappoint, especially the nursing mothers among them. The annoying part is the nonchalant attitudes of their husbands to the torture of their house maids.
Politics › Re: Unknown Gunmen Invade Schools In Ogbaru, Anambra Over Biafra Day by Focusmind: 6:46pm On May 31, 2022
Where are those idiots from SE in this forum that are always defending the indefensible. See how they have turned once peaceful SE to a laughing matter. Whoever is supporting IPOB and their Modus operandi is sick. SE economy is crumbling before our very eyes. I recently visited Onitsha and saw how a once liveliable city is fast decaying. I remembered the multiple storeys buildings that lined up the length and breadth of the city. Those multi storey buildings are now so dilapidated that the current generation that inherited the assets from their fathers do not have money to maintain them. Roads are the worst I have seen in recent years. Onitsha is decaying and the city is a shadow of its former self.
Politics › Re: We Never Threatened To Work Against Atiku, PDP In 2023 Poll – Ohanaeze Ndigbo by Focusmind: 6:38am On May 31, 2022
Fake news everywhere. I knew that the message never came from OHANEZE. There are people bent on causing havoc to the nation

The PDP primary has been won and lost. The Southern politicians should blame themselves and not north. Many delegates from the South voted for Atiku. People are here blaming Tambuwal for stepping down for Atiku for North to clinch the post. 80% of delegates from SW voted for Atiku; 60% of delegates from SS voted for Atiku against their own Wike while 90% of delegates from SE voted for Atiku against their own Anyim and Ohabunwa. So, we do we blame? We are here lambasting the North and Tambuwal

Hungry Labour party will simply takes Peter Obi's money. I don't know who is advising this man. He is politically naive. So for his mind, he thinks say him go fit win the presidencyhuh
Politics › Re: Peter Obi Congratulates Atiku, Asks God To Bless Him by Focusmind: 2:47pm On May 29, 2022
He should go and sit down. I don't know why Peter Obi thought he could get the ticket or win the presidential election? Who are the people giving this man hope? His online supporters do not have PVC. He should have stepped back from the PDP primary only instead of his outright resignation from the party. His political career is dead. He has lost everything already. PDP will not call him back neither will Atiku consider him. Atiku may pick Wike, Anyim or someone from the South West as VP
Politics › Re: PDP Presidential Primary: Tambuwal Steps Down, Asks Supporters To Support Atiku by Focusmind: 9:10pm On May 28, 2022
Fight for politicians at your own peril. I may not vote in 2023 going by the people that would be on the ballot papers. It's not a must to vote if I am not comfortable with the candidates. My not voting is a form of protest. This may have been the game plan of Atiku and Tambuwal

Honestly, I dont understand the frenzy from West and America to attack peace loving Russian citizens and their businesses and interests because of Putin. They should have focused on Putin and leave unarmed citizens and their businesses alone. If this owner fails, the fans will come really hard on him and Boris Johnson. I dont get the idea behind seizing private business because their home government is at war with another country. Something that has not happened before.
Jobs/Vacancies › Re: Please Narialanders I Need Your Advice About My Career by Focusmind: 11:33am On May 28, 2022
Menh:
I wish to secure Sales and Business Development jobs in the Oil and Gas industry.

I'm currently running my MBA Marketing, and I posses BSc. International Studies.

I'm a Member of the Nigerian Institute of Management Chartered and planning to take my Certification from the National Institute of Marketing Nigeria next year.

Also, I posses Health Safety & Environmental Management certifications from the British International Safety Organisation.

Diploma in French Language from the Ministry of Education - France.

What other qualifications do I require to enable me secure a job Marketing job in the Oil and Gas industry?



Thanks
None -

Must it be an oil and gashuh Why do most youths have this impression that you must work in oil and gas to be successful? The position opened for people with your qualifications in oil and gas is limited and fiercely competitive, usually filled through recommendation and networking. Please broaden your horizon towards other sectors like Consulting, NGOs, FINTECH and other multinationals.

Or better still, as someone rightly pointed out, re-purpose and retool yourself and career towards exit from this country.
Politics › Re: Peter Obi: Integrity Is About Public Funds Management by Focusmind: 5:14am On May 28, 2022
Peter Obi, you are a good person but the current political landscape is not suited for your kind. How do you expect to win the presidential election by the social media support and and love? Building alliances and structure helps with political success in Nigeria. You have none. You seems to be going around this project alone.

Please don't preach integrity to us. Nigerian politicians, which you are one, have none. You all are the same. Just that some are more corrupt than others. Buhari preached integrity and frugality to us to win the election but see where we are now. On Wike, that one does not even know what having character and integrity entails. So shallow minded
Politics › Re: PDP Holds Emergency Meeting, May Postpone Convention To Counter APC by Focusmind: 5:01am On May 28, 2022
Opposition parties usually Waits for the ruling party to present its presidential candidate first. I don't know the reason why PDP earlier wanted to do theirs before APC. Just a day to their scheduled convention, INEC extended submission of list by six days. INEC that had been tough and stubborn in agreeing to change of date now suddenly agreed.

PDP did the right thing by postponing theirs as well. Let the mind games begin. The best bet would be for PDP and APC to hold their convention the same day. It will be sweet and heightens the suspense. The way last matches of tournaments are played the same day.

Anyway, PDP and APC are not the solution to Nigeria's problems. We need a potent third force. As it is now, I am not inclined to vote for any of the top contenders from the two parties.
Family › Re: Should I Humble Myself Before My Cousin? by Focusmind: 8:19pm On May 27, 2022
Oga, if serving him would enable you get what you want to progress, please serve him with all humility and respect. Dont mind what people are saying. I had one guy then with Trans ocean oil and gas then, 26 years of age and had one of his distance relatives of his that was about 31 years, living with him and learning Oracle at IIT, Ikeja. His senior cousin literally worshiped him and respected him, washed his car and went on errands for him. The Trans-ocean guy paid for that his cousin's one year masters in Computer science at the University of Birmingham, UK because of his dedication and seriousness with his IT study. The cousin later moved to Canada and completed his PhD in Immersive technology. He is doing very well now, more than the Trans ocean guy that helped him, whose company later left Nigeria and he started struggling somehow.

Politics › Re: Peter Obi Joins Labour Party, To Contest For President by Focusmind: 6:35pm On May 27, 2022
I dont know who is deceiving this man and giving him this hope? Because he is enjoying some media attention from middle class Nigerians and he thought he could win the presidency without wanting to spend money. He simply does not understand how the Nigerian political landscape works. He seems to be over estimating himself. Peter Obi is the best candidate but he seems too rigid. I wonder how he thought that he could go it alone to pursue his ambition.
