Foreign AffairsRe: Ukrainian Military Killed Vitaly Gerasimov: Second Russian General Killed! by Focusmind: 9:44am On Mar 08, 2022
Rahkman:
Me my own be say America and nato forces are fighting In Ukraine dem just dey disguise am as mercenary .....u wan tell me na civilians wey dem give ak47 recently dey decimate russian troops like this ...I no gree
There lot of unofficial NATO forces in Ukraine, providing infantry support to Ukrainian forces. Forget the ranting from President Zalensky of Ukraine. He is just talking to disguise the NATO forces and pretend as if NATO is not supporting them. There are lot of secret US marines, British and Israeli commanders in Ukraine and lots of tactical and technical personnel with specialization in communications that are intercepting Russians calls and discussions.

In modern warfare, communication is key. Your ability to intercept your enemies calls, jam their communication system and disrupt their radar is an enabler to creating a winning strategy. Russians have been stucked on their match to Kiev for more than one week. This is due to logistics problems as the convoy could no longer establish secure communication with their control and command center in Russia.

I may add, if it is an international organization, diplomatic mission or NGO, please check the car papers and know your road signs, including all the agencies responsible for renewable of car documents. Oyibo no dey joke with following laid down rules

Good luck!

CelebritiesRe: Ka3na: Dissolving My Marriage And Moving Abroad Has Been The Toughest Decision by Focusmind: 6:11am On Mar 07, 2022
Madam, you are not happy. Stop forming happiness. Divorce is bad, very bad.

Showing us your new house for people to know that you have moved on to something better. You don't need people's validation to feel happy. I don't know why divorcees always try to project the image of being happy to people to see. Just be yourself, move on and do your things privately, at least for the benefit of the kids.

They don't know the psychological damage they do to their kids by exposing their divorce online, letting everyone know. The kids would now be known as having come from a broken home.
SportsRe: Chelsea Players' Salaries Released After Abramovich's Decision To Sell The Club by Focusmind: 3:50pm On Mar 06, 2022
See pay disparity!!!

This is why it is always good to negotiate well when joining organisations without well defined uniform pay. Why should Lukaku be earning more than Mendyhuh

That's how one Wellsite engineer in my client's organisation resigned after just two years because of extreme pay disparity among different categories of engineers. Each negotiated their pay and when you come in and see what others are being paid, you go just weak.

Just a matter of time, you will start feeling less attached to your job. Some will even develop unwarranted hatred towards their colleagues because they are earning far higher than them, doing the same job.

CrimeRe: Ogun Union Officers Chase Motorcycle Rider To Death Over N600 by Focusmind: 1:22pm On Mar 04, 2022
Lagos dey learn work where Ogun state agberos and Omonile dey. Very brutal and inhumane !!!

The omoniles murdered the engineer that built the house where i used to stay. He got contract to build house for a client in a remote town in Ogun state. He complained that the omoniles have been disturbing him and he has paid substantial amount on settlement and that he was not ready to pay anything again.

Another set of brutal guys came to his site and in the fisticuffs that ensured, they hit him with iron on the head and he slumped and died. They left him there and went away.

Police later traced his corpse to the site. His toyota hilux was still packed closed to the site but his phones and gadgets were all taken away. RIP, Segun

PoliticsRe: What's Your Take On State Generating Their Electricity by Focusmind: 11:05am On Mar 03, 2022
The advent of Discos is the biggest scam ever in the electricity sector. It has hindered serious investors from investing, since DISCOS now controls the distribution network assets and have refused private investors from accessing those legacy infrastructure assets they acquired from the defunct PHCN and NEPA, respectively.

As long as discos still have monopoly over the transmission and connection lines, any State government that wants to distribute electricity would have to go through them and their inefficiencies and ineptitudeness will be transferred to it. If distribution is still in the hands of government under the former PHCN, state could agree with FG to generate and transmit through the network and distribution infrastructure located in their respective states.

Foreign AffairsRe: Smouldering Russian Convoy Blitzed To Ashes By Ukrainian Resistance by Focusmind: 5:56pm On Mar 02, 2022
I don't know why foreign medias are reporting these non existing "victories" for Ukraine? Those tanks were Ukrainian tanks destroyed by Russian helicopter gunship and cluster bombs. The Russian convoy are still amassing before the city and the Russian army are still trying to neutralise Ukrainian military capabilities before they move in.

Watch Aljazeera for an unbiased reporting of the current territorial war gains and others. Certainly, not from Western propagandists.

Foreign AffairsRe: White House Responds To Russia's Decision To Put Deterrence Forces On High Alert by Focusmind: 6:50pm On Feb 28, 2022
bonechamberlain:
Economically strangulating a nuclear power is a declaration of war.

JFK threatened to ignite a nuclear war in 1962 if Russia refused to remove their missile from Cuba.

US is doing the same thing now in Ukraine, and people expect Russia to be quiet.

I am surprised Putin didn't even threaten to nuke Ukraine at first, just like JFK threatened to nuke Cuba.
Most of the "students" here are kids. They won't understand. Fantastic analysis.

You don't strangulate a nuclear power like that and cut them off from the world. This is the harshest sanction ever imposed on any country. Russia will truly feel the impact. You could tell that Putin has started feeling uneasy because of these sanctions.
SportsRe: FIFA In "Advanced Talks" To Suspend Russia Until Further Notice by Focusmind: 6:34pm On Feb 28, 2022
Sports and politics do not go hand in hand. FIFA have never involved themselves in this kind of thing. It seems that they havetaken sides already. On what ground do they want to ban Russia?

Based on FIFA rule, Russia should even progress to the next round of qualifications if her opponents failed to honour the fixtures. But here, it's the Russia that is receiving all the punishment.

I am not a fan of Putin. I am just trying to make a common sense.

Many would achieve their dream because of this Ukrainian conflict. Those without any hope of getting to central and western Europe will now receive the much needed attention there just like the Syrians.
TravelRe: Video Of Stranded Nigerians, Africans At Ukraine/Poland Border by Focusmind:
And some idiotic Africans will be here sympathising with Ukraine because of Russian assault? The same way they were all sympathising with the Syrians, Libyans. These people don't like you at all but you will all be here, praying for them. I am not saying we should not sympathize but the whites no send us. If you could recall how some Syrians refugees were trying to throw some Africans into the water when they were all trying to get to Greece via the Mediterranean.

My friend I told you people that his cousin is in Ukraine is now stranded in the Polish border, thinking that asylum could be granted, with potential help from the western part of Europe to evacuate some refugees.

My wife is guilty of doing that. Once she is ready to go to church or market, she would ask my house girl to snap her, posing beside the gate or her car before driving off through the gate.

Just last Sunday, before entering the car, she requested that we pose for a family picture Infront of the entrance door grin

I couldn't stop laughing on that picture thing OP said about Nigeria. Very correct and even common among our celebrities. They stand Infront of their gates and take pictures, capturing the gate and the building.

Foreign AffairsRe: Street Fighting Erupts In Battle For Ukraine’s Capital, Kyiv by Focusmind: 3:36pm On Feb 26, 2022
Ifesinachi22:
Lessons from the Ukraine-Russia conflict :

(1) The Biafrans defended themselves for 3 years
(2) At no time did Ojukwu plead with the Nigerian forces to sit down to negeotiate during the early or later years of the conflict .
(3) The resilience of the Igbo man is worthy of note .
(4) the Biafrans didn’t have anywhere to run to but to stay and fight to live or die in defence of their existence and their motherland .
(5) As the first bombs were dropped in Ukraine the people were all escaping to Poland and other neighboring countries .
Ukraine with the weapons and financial assistance it got from the US is already pleading for truce . Zelensky will soon be captured and taken to prison in Moscow . The javelin anti tank weapons recently delivered to Ukraine Army by the US have not destroyed a Russian tank.
The US just sent 650M dollars worth of defensive weapons to Ukraine.
No foreign aid be it financial or military were obtained by Biafra in the three years that the war lasted .
More lessons from the war coming .

Biafra was a landlocked country . They were attacked from land , sea and air by the Nigerian forces .
There was food and aid blockade by the Nigerian forces in order to inflict maximum damage on the psyche of the Biafrans and which added to the mounting casualties occasioned by the spread of malnourishment related diseases .
(6) No anti war protests were held in any part of Nigeria for the three years that the war lasted. It was clearly a genocide to wipe out the igbo people of Eastern Region . The hatred continues till today but covertly .
This is not time for this please.

US Dollars!!! - The power of the American Government.

Like them or hate them, the love for the American dollar has a way of resetting peoples' brains, especially that of adversaries.

Even those that hates US, they cannot still do without the US dollars.

As long as US dollars is still the world's reserve currency and means of storing value, US will continue to dominate the affairs of the world. That has been the new world order since after the second world war

TravelRe: Guide To Ogbunike Cave, Anambra State by Focusmind: 1:06pm On Feb 24, 2022
The problem with tourism in Nigeria is insecurity. The insecurity in the country is hindering people from making that daring travels around the country to visit some historic sites and monuments without fear of being attacked.

As simple as going to an open park in Lagos is even a problem. Touts and "agberos" milling around the place, with fierce looks and unwelcoming atmosphere. Fashola built lots of green parks in Lagos but I am not always comfortable visiting because agberos have taken over the places. Despite my love for greenery and parks, I wont take risk of taken my family to any government owned park on non-festive periods.

Until we tackle insecurity, tourism in Nigeria will never progress beyond the current state.
