I don't know if it is me but this guy always talks and behaves too childish for my liking. Always wanting public acceptance and pity and yet his personal branding is below par.

North Africans are always terrible people to play against in a knockout stages. Very cunning and knows how to upset their opponents. Eagles should not allow them to even score first. They will just frustrate the hell out of super eagles. That's their entrenched ways of operations.

Sports › Re: AFCON 2022: La Liga Celebrate Nigeria In Pidgin English by Focusmind: 6:43am On Jan 20, 2022
La Liga and Seria A have been doing everything to make their league popular in Nigeria. They know that Nigeria is a football loving country and marketing the la Liga brand is their mission.
One guy that works with multichoice Nigeria told me that la Liga is in the process of onboarding some top Nigeria celebrities, sports men and comedians as brand ambassadors. Lucky them! More Euros to their pockets.

As a Blackman, why working in a white dominated environment, don't lower your guard because you are constantly being watched for any slip.

Excuses are not acceptable. Poor him, he thought it was Nigeria. He may be re-instated if the reason for calling the Chief police in the region was not related to his being fined.

I hope our own dear Malami and other idiots that calls themselves leaders could see how developed countries works. You don't interfere with law enforcement. The day you start playing politics with your security and judiciary institutions, then you have started the total destruction of the fabrics of that society.

This government is exceptional in interfering in our judiciary and security operations, dishing instructions and obstructing same when it suites them.

I hate to look at Nigerian politicians. Looking at their faces just irritates me. You could see the face of incompetence, greed, corruption and embezzlement. No wonder they look too ugly.

But those LASU/ABSU graduates will still do very well if/when they get to the abroad.

The amount of Nigerian born immigrants that are leaders in corporate and political world is staggering.

There’s something fundamentally wrong with our processes in Nigeria. The sad part is that it can be so easily corrected.
Don't even be discouraged if your own tuff is Nigeria. Lots of Nigerian kids that schooled in Nigeria went abroad and graduated top of their classes, secured decent jobs more than some privileged few that were born, brought up and schooled abroad.

Let the determination and the will power to excel be there. After all, I schooled in Nigeria and went abroad for my masters with scholarship (fully funded) and came out with distinction in my course of study. I still came back to Nigeria. Some other scholars stayed back and are still doing pretty good abroad.

It's all about individual gifts, parental guidance and unshakable desire to succeed.

Foreign Affairs › Re: Ethiopia Says Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus Has Links To Rebellious Tigrayan Forces by Focusmind:
I don't see the war ending any time soon. The Tigrayan forces are armed to the teeth. President Abiye goofed when he tried to disarm them. You don't disarm a group that has been in power for more than 30 years.

The war is going to be a long drawn out war. It will surely outlive the current Ethiopian government. When you start a war, you can't predict when or how it would end. Jealousy and hatred got the better of prime minister Abiye and he wanted to use force to disarm his ancient rivals, who had ruled Ethiopia in the past.

There are foreign actors to the conflict who wouldn't want an end to the conflict. The Tigrayan rebels are being armed dangerously and they have the resources to procure high calibre munitions. They have thousands of Tigrayans living abroad, funding their operations, including tacit support from Egypt and Sudan. These two countries would ensure that Ethiopia is distracted from continuing the vexatious millennium dam they are constructing along the Nile River.

US and EU do not like Abiye because of his pro Russian stand. Foreign and international organizations, including UN are not supporting Abiye. The Tigrayan are using their international connections to the maximum. Their kinsman at the WHO is pulling all the plugs. It is a difficult war for Ethiopia without any visible foreign support. As usually the case with this kind of war, it is the masses that suffers. Hunger, diseases and death have become normal in Tigray.

I fell into same situation too when I built my 7 bedrooms ensuite duplex. All my children and grand-children are born abroad, although I have introduced them to Nigeria life but I still dont see them coming to live in Nigeria with all these happenings. But I have learnt from my mistake o; all other builds are not this big anymore. God help us.

@EgunMogaji.... with my Igbo roots, I like big "Obi" o. smiley

Hajji M.
I learnt the lesson from my uncle. Massive 8 bedroom duplex with two bedroom boys quarter. Today, all the kids are in UK, Canada, Copenhagen, Denmark and Ibadan. The house was a beehive of activities in the 90s through the mid 2000 as family members visited in their numbers from the East.
Today, when one talks in the house, it echoes. His two gigantic Listers are packed in the generator's house, unserviceable. The house continue to dilapidate, except when the one that lives in Ibadan comes around, he tries to do some patchy work.
Those abroad don't stay when they come to Nigeria with family. The stay in hotel and visit. The house is no more conducive. The small Gen cannot carry AC .

Hajj, you can still repurpose it at the appropriate time if you want. Nothing spoil. It is still an asset.

At the end, all nah waste, due to maintenance.
Children/Grand-Children dey abroad. Waste o.

Hajji M.
Most people are not learning from what is happening to some families. Go to Lekki, Ikoyi and some high brow areas in Nigeria, only the aged-parents are staying in the massive duplexes. All the children and grand children are abroad. I have also noticed that most middle class and rich Nigerians are not even preparing their children for a life in Nigeria. They are preparing them for life abroad.

I already re-plannd and repurposed my current build for eventual conversion to self-contain and mini-flat and get myself a decent two bedroom bungalow, but with enough compound. grin I love big compounds more than big houses.
Politics › Re: The IPOB Sit At Home Order And The Changes It Caused In The East In 2021 by Focusmind: 9:53am On Jan 17, 2022
I pity the poor and the daily pay dependent people there. IPOB has become a cancer that has eaten deep into the social fabrics of the people of SE.
Stupidly, some ignorant people that should be better informed are the ones cheering them on just to spite the Nigerian State. At the end, it is their own loss and not the Nigerian State, even though the country looses generally because of perceived heightened security tension that scares away foreign investors.

IPOB members have no means of sustainable living. Whether the SE burns is none of their business. They prefer to continue with their threat and intimidation to scuttle development in the region. These guys cash out big time from money received from ill-informed overseas sympathizers. Unemployment is fueling more members to join the group, thus constituting into a ready army to unleash harvoc on their people at any slightest disobedience.

IPOB is like the Cambodia's Khmer Rouge that came to power and subjected her people to untold hardship in the name of enforcing discipline. They were using intimation and nationalistic zeal to coarse the people towards doing their bidding. A lot of E-warriors are here reading this and would come over to defend the act of the terror group. Some are in their respective places of work and businesses outside the SE but continually want people to sit at home in the SE.

I have people in the SE and no one has ever liked the idea of sit at home. The only ones that have continued to like the idea are the E warriors here just to spite other people that they are one and fighting for one purpose. All the people I have in SE that I have spoken to all expressed sadness on that sit at home and the effect on the general social life of the people.

You cant use hatred and anger to achieve your goal. Tact, discipline and good politicking. Sentiments wont give you result or expect people to abide by your rules. You have to go out and sell your ideology.

The consultancy firm was just gave chance to eat money.
You gerrit grin

That's how it works. I am also into the game. Package a proposal and go and meet all these governors. I am sure he would not even open that document and neither the ministry of environment. The consultant collects his fees and looks for the next maga.

Consultancy job is another yahoo yahoo on a professional level. But you don't blame the consultant. They sell services and proposals. It is left to the client to see to the implementation of the recommendations. But more often than not, most clients do not implement anything, especially government.

Something that has become a national problem is being trivialised because of your stupidity. That's why you rushed just to type your stupid comments.

You haven't read where the herdsmen also attacked villages in Enugu and Ebonyi, killing many. Because it was Ogun and you rushed to type your rubbish, fuelled by ignorant hatred.

You guys should sit up and start thinking properly.

Nnewi should be developing into a model city but the city is just too crude for my liking

Too chaotic, dirty, narrow roads, lack of urban planning, indiscipline of the highest order and backwards.

The new governor should focus on rehabilitating Onitsha and Nnewi and make them a 21st century model cities.

Cities inhabited by mostly traders are always chaotic, lacks decency and gross indiscipline is usually ingrained in their DNA

Health › Re: We Need To Take Mental Health More Seriously In Nigeria by Focusmind:
Mom007:
Excuse me. So you could park your car and walk back after the guy called you to say he couldn't find the keys but you couldn't park your car to hand him the keys like one would do to a fellow human being instead of throwing it on the floor for him to pick as if he was a sub human! The time you didn't want to waste showing simple courtesy and dignifying your fellow man, did you not waste that and more looking for the key and trying to gain entrance into your locked office? Na waa o. What did you say is the topic of this your thread again?
I was surprised at other people's comments before I read yours. You must be a very good student of literature to grasp this story. She is the one with mental problems. The anger in her had already built up that she couldn't hold it again. The reason why she threw the keys at her colleague.
Typical of Nigeria's corporate bosses. Arrogant and always disrespectful towards their junior colleagues. She should have waited for him to politely hand over the keys to him. Throwing something at someone is demeaning and you could only do that to someone you don't respect or value.
Op need to work on her on mental state as her state of mind wasn't in order based own how she acted. I was actually thinking she wanted to draw an inference between mental health and the way she acted.

Dem no dey ever rush person to Nigerian hospitals and the person survives.

Do not ever pray for something of emergency to happen to you that will warrant being rushed to the hospital

Merely going to the hospital by yourself to be attended to is a problem, with all the delays, talk more of when there is an emergency to be attended to.
Politics › Re: Buni, Malami Move To Block Convention, Governors Rise Against Interim Chairman by Focusmind:
There should not be any convention

They should ratify BAT (Bola Ahmed Tinubu) in an ordinary general meeting since nobody was willing to come out and declare his/her intention. All other contestants are cowards and are not fit and proper to contest for anything.

If Osibanjo is interested, he should say so and stop beating about the bush like a dog with its tail in-between its legs. Tinubu has shown courage, charisma and intentional about his aspirations. If you are not bold enough to state yours, just go and hide your face.

Lastly, Ohaneze should stop embarrassing themselves. If you want power, go for it. This entitlement mentality wont do anybody any good. This is a very common thing within the Nigeria's family setting, where certain family members always behaves as if you owe them anything and that you should continue to support them in everything without them working hard.

If you hate TInubu, get your PVC and vote him out. Don't tell him not to contest or be online and be abusing him. I laugh at the E-idiots typing rubbish and abusing him that he would never smell that seat, while the man is busy building bridges and making the necessary contacts.

I am not his fan, neither am I his supporter but I admire his intention, courage and steadfastness.
Politics › Re: All Bola Tinubu Support Groups To Hold Meeting On January 17th by Focusmind: 6:41am On Jan 11, 2022
Honestly, I want to join one of the pressure groups. I doubt if I would be able to do any work for my clients starting from June this year, through next year. I want to join one of the pressure groups clamouring for support for all these politicians. I need to make my own money from these politicians.

I have already received invite from Amaechi support group. Tinubu, Amaechi, Osibanjo, Atiku, Jonathan, Bala Mohammed, Wike and Tambuwal support groups would be flowing with cash, considering the war chest of these politicians. I know of a guy that made so much money in 2015 as part of Jonathan support group, flying up and down with FFK and John Fashanu then. Bought an old house in Ire Akari estate, Lagos, demolished it and put up a solid building. He was an account officer with first bank then before joining Jonathan support group.

Las las, the money go reach every body. I must go home with a Sienna or Toyota bus. That's part of the spoils of participating in campaign. I won't let these their money pass me by this time around.

It equally shows that our standards in this part of the world are terribly low. You see some low life youths and citizens worshiping these politicians for putting up nonsense as infrastructure. I refuse to join them. When you see what development is in a decent society, you will know that our leaders have been scamming us since 1960

It’s not cheaper but it’s worth the extra spend. I use facade cladding on my projects as a step away from traditions; to act as second shell and to also shield the wall against elements. Facade cladding are more easier to care for and require little or no maintenance.

On the church project, I decided to use the facade cladding to cover the weather side of the building which is more often affected by rain, wind and weather.

I did same on Ilé Ode 1 to conceal imperfections during construction.

Cost: 7,000 - 7,500 per sqm

This post is made in good faith without disregard to the allegations leveled against me.
Cost stated is inclusive of materials and labour? Every everyhuh
