Foreign Affairs › Re: 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.

You people should free the poor police officer and face his egoistic madam that could not humble herself and carry her food.. I could tell from the policeman's face that he wasn't comfortable carrying that plate of food but just have to do it.

Foreign Affairs › Re: 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.
Sports › Re: 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.

A snake can stay with you in your room without harming you. It only attack on self defense. It could see you without you seeing it and it would just maintain it cool posture.
Travel › Re: 50 Nigerians Safely Arrive Hungary (Video) by Focusmind: 10:30am On Feb 28, 2022
Reason why many of them did not want to come back even if FG sends private jet to bring them back.

From Hungary, na western Europe sure pass and once bros dem gets asylum visa on top this Ukraine matter, dem don finally make am.

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.
Travel › Re: 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.

Any course that could help you develop your cognitive, communication (written and verbal) and quantitative skills. These are the skills, irrespective of the course, that could potentially help you navigate through the labour market and into freelancing.

Op small small o because this table will break patapata beyond repair...

It's actually that gate background and wall that got me laughing grin
But no be lie naa grin

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.

Our standards are terribly low. This is the Nigerian standard and he built to that standard, which is loved by majority of the people.

So, lower your volume.
Foreign Affairs › Re: 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

A trader friend of mine told me that his cousin that is in Ukraine, doing his masters said that he is not coming back. He called him to get update and to know how safe the place is but the young man said he would stay put as the place he staying is safe.

As a student, he works with the city's waste evacuation department
Travel › Re: 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.

Opportunity to talk down on the ladies. I don't know why some guys derives joy in doing that.

She made her decision and it should be respected. People marry for different reasons. Do you want her to come to your house and start giving you attitude because of your inability to take care of the family or meet up with her financial expectations?

If Nigeria is a country to be reckoned with, it would have taken the opportunity to fill the gap created by Russians in supplying gas to Europe. The EU are now looking for reliable partners that could provide them with gas in the absence of Russia

This OP is just a small boy from a rich home. He seems to lack emotional stability expected of someone of his age and a master's student.

As a master's student in 2009, I wished you saw my packaging. You don't need to go too close to them. Maintain your dignity and self-respect. They will be the ones coming to you.

I don't know how this Mai Buni of a guy still manages to govern his Yobe State and at the same time, acting as caretaker committee chairman. The governance in that his state is on recess and it's the people that are suffering the most.

Civil servants and political appointees in Yobe state would be doing anyhow and performing sub optimally since the chief executive officer is based in Abuja.

Family › Re: You Adopted A Boy And Later Gave Birth To A Boy. Who Is Your First Son? by Focusmind: 1:53pm On Feb 19, 2022
I am sure that the OP is an Igbo man. This is always an issue in Igbo land. Since you have adopted him as a son, bearing your name and calling you, father. What else do you want? People do underestimate the power behind the fact that some one calls you father. It's not just symbolic, there is an unbroken covenant.
Car Talk › Re: Driving Experts, What Will You Do In This Situation? (pic) by Focusmind:
I had a near head on collision with a Toyota Hilux. I landed PH airport and was picked up by an airport taxi. If you know PH airport road very well, it's very narrow and single-laned.

We were driving, heading out from the airport on a single narrow road. An incoming Toyota Hilux with siren, heading to the airport, overtook a car and was coming directly to hit us. I had just closed my eyes as I expected the inevitable. The Toyota Hilux driver just swerved off the road, into the grass land. Very close shave.

My driver just looked at him and said, "idiot, you think I would leave the road for you". I was mad with the guy. Even me that was sitting with him in front, I envisaged the Toyota guy and knew he wanted to overtake the car in his front and expected my driver to kind of slow down.

I told him he should thank his God. If the worst had happened, he won't be alive to insult any body. While driving on Nigerian roads, be vigilant and always pre-empt the next driver.
Travel › Re: Nigerians That Left Ukraine, Do You Regret It??? by Focusmind: 8:29am On Feb 18, 2022
OP, I am sorry to say this but Nigerians are too desperate once it comes to travelling abroad. Once you mention white man's country, all their senses disappear and desperation sets in. All these Eastern European countries have nothing to offer but we wont hear. Most of my country men are stucked there and shame is not making them to take the wise decision of coming back home.

Please for the sake of your sanity, prepare for your home coming. Don't get stucked and waste your productive years waiting for the elusive migration to the western part of Europe as people are deceived and meant to believe.
