Education › Re: Mirabel Obi: My Father Lost Contracts Due To Twerking Video- UNN Medical Student by Focusmind: 10:24pm On Nov 04, 2021
She doesn't look like a medical student. Most medical students are conservative and reserved. This one looks like those that will be moved to Combined Biological sciences (CBS) after the first year because of poor academic performance.
Politics › Re: Bianca Ojukwu Writes Letter To Late Husband On Upcoming Anambra Election by Focusmind: 4:41pm On Nov 04, 2021
She should go and sit down. Using Ojukwu to weep up idiotic sentiments. That's what APGA is known for. Riding on the back of Ojukwu to deceive the gullible ones. Same way APC used Buhari to deceive the gullible Nigerians.
Properties › Re: Femi Osibona Arrested In 2020 For Resisting Sealing Ikoyi Building (Throwback by Focusmind: 4:03pm On Nov 04, 2021
That Femi must be very stubborn and combative. No sense of decorum upon all the wealth. He couldn't still get his project right with the government. This is how Nigerians behave when they are connected. They won't allow regulators and people to do their work.
Politics › Re: Buhari Abandons UN Climate Change Conference, Jets To London To See Doctors - SR by Focusmind: 1:15pm On Nov 04, 2021
What is the problem with Reno and this Sahara? Is it a crime to go and see one's doctor? I don't blame them. I blame the Nigerian government that hardly come out to tell the people the truth. There is nothing wrong in seeking medical care or seeing your doctor. But as a public figure, your subject deserves to know and not be guessing.
Celebrities › Re: Reactions As Jay-Z Deletes His Instagram Account Just As He Did 6 Years Ago (Pix by Focusmind: 12:08pm On Nov 04, 2021
Honestly, I don't understand how celebrities fans do these things o. I cant remember being attached to a celebrity or to any person, be it a a leader or important personality that will make me to be so obsessed about the person. cry

The way fans adore their celebrities, especially abroad is something else. If they advertise for a product, you see the fan queuing up to buy that product, whether they need it or not. I don't follow any body blindly o.
Crime › Re: Two Nigerians Arrested In Ireland Over €183,000 Unemployment Scam by Focusmind: 10:49am On Nov 04, 2021
I don't know how these guys dey get liver do all these things.

And most of all these fraudsters are also educated and passed through the University.
Politics › Re: Lagos State Earns ₦788.29 Billion In PAYE In Three Years by Focusmind: 5:16am On Nov 04, 2021

Obviously you don't know the meaning of PAYE--tax deducted from employees in formal sectors.

SE is home of entrepreneurs not obligate employees.

/
This not correct entirely. If you are not under formal employment, the PAYE act still imposes an obligation to you to access your world wide income and computes your PAYE tax and pay. They are not exempted from PAYE.
The problem is that we don't have adequate system to monitor the income tax of those in the informal sector, which is dominant in SE.

Those in the informal sector are assessed under the direct assessment of the PAYE act. However, there is a high rate of wilful default by majority within the informal sector.
Politics › Re: Lagos State Earns ₦788.29 Billion In PAYE In Three Years by Focusmind: 5:08am On Nov 04, 2021
SE governors should know that buying and selling do not sustain an economy. SE is full of private and solo merchants,who pays next to nothing as PAYE. My PAYE is far higher than some billionaires PAYE.
The irony in SE, especially Anambra, is that they have poor government but rich people. While in most northern states, they have rich government but poor people.
Health › Re: Workers Shut Down ABSUTH Indefinitely Over 22 Months Salary Arrears by Focusmind: 6:36pm On Nov 03, 2021
The governor is the kind of people IPOB should be putting pressure on. IPOB hardly monitor the performance of SE governors. It is not about having an utopian independent state. It is about changing behaviour. They should start with demanding good governance from SE governors
Politics › Re: Accountant-General’s Office Budgets ₦36m For Fumigation Against Reptiles, Pests by Focusmind: 6:55am On Nov 03, 2021
This Nigeria money, I go follow dem chop am. Na why japa no dey mind. The money go follow reach every body.
A whole accountant general that should be frugal and prudent in money and resources management.
When you see all these people, you will think that they have any atom of professionalism.
Civil servants are the engine of corruption and not the politicians.
Travel › Re: Umahi Inspects Ebonyi International Airport, Promises To Complete It by Focusmind: 6:25am On Nov 02, 2021
The concrete run way seems better than the one in Anambra that looks like where they poured black bitumen on top mud red soil. It would soon wash off. Concrete roads are now bae. Go and see the quality of concrete road dangote is building in Lagos.
Politics › Re: Arise News Anambra Governorship Debate Is Ongoing by Focusmind: 3:16pm On Nov 01, 2021
Nawao, so Maduka no dey? undecided

They should consider all the efforts the man is making. At least, he should participate in the debate.
Celebrities › Re: Sean Jimoh Acquires New House (Photos) by Focusmind: 2:35pm On Nov 01, 2021
Nigerian Architects and the same house designs. I was surprised that there were no pillars in front of the house. undecided

We should be innovative when it comes to houses and interiors design. Our houses and homes are all the same in shape and design.
Education › Re: Lagos Government Reacts To Viral Video Of School Assembly In Flooded Ground by Focusmind: 8:28am On Nov 01, 2021
Honestly, being from a poor home in Nigeria is the most traumatic and dehumanizing experience for anyone.
Politics › Re: PDP Convention: Iyorchia Ayu Emerges PDP National Chairman by Focusmind: 6:01am On Oct 31, 2021
Game plan. The presidential candidate will now emerge from either the North West or north east. He would now step down as he said for the chairmanship position to revert back to South. That's why no body from either the North West or north east contested. They are going for the presidential ticket.
Education › Re: Video Of Pupils Singing National Anthem In A Flooded School In Nigeria by Focusmind: 7:22pm On Oct 30, 2021
The teachers in that school are terribly stupid. What message were they trying to pass. What rubbish?? Subjecting the kids to this cruelty.
Politics › Re: Police Arrest Top ESN Commander In Anambra, Recover Six Rifles (Photo) by Focusmind: 7:00pm On Oct 30, 2021
I enjoy all men and women of goodwill from the Eastto rise together against this monsters called IPOB.
Politics › Re: Pictures Of Soldiers, Police At Mary Odili’s Residence In Abuja by Focusmind: 9:13pm On Oct 29, 2021
So sad! She is being intimidated. They don't want her to be the next chief justice of Nigeria. I think she should be the next in line.
Sports › Re: Awka City Stadium Taking Shape (photos) by Focusmind: 9:02pm On Oct 29, 2021
As usual, very poor quality job. It is not about Anambra. It is about Nigeria as a whole. Our standards in everything thing are terribly low. Look at South Africa and see the quality of stadium and turfs used by amateur clubs talk more of stadiums owned by cities like Capetown or Pretoria.
I refused to lower my standards to Nigerians standards. The work is poor. We should stop gloryfing rubbish and praising these politicians.
Jobs/Vacancies › Re: The Difference Between An Npower Applicant, Volunteer, And A Beneficiary by Focusmind: 5:27pm On Oct 29, 2021
ezenwaez:
Lots of youths that applied for the Npower Program both under the Npower graduate category and the Npower non graduate category have been in a state of confusion over the difference between an Npower Applicant, an Npower Volunteer, and An Npower Beneficiary.

Please if you have not been shortlisted, you have not completed the Npower physical verification exercise you are an Npower Applicant, even if you have done the Npower physical verification and your Npower physical verification is not complete and you have not signed your acceptance letter and you have not yet resumed work, then you remain an Npower Applicant, for the Npower non graduate category, if you have not completed your training you are still an Npower Applicant, until you complete your training.

An Npower Volunteer is one that have fulfilled all the requirements; he or she has been shortlisted, have completed the Npower physical verification exercise, completed his or her training (for non graduate category) signed his or her acceptance letter and have resumed work.

An Npower Beneficiary is similar to an Npower Volunteer the only difference is that an Npower Beneficiary is one who has received his or her stipend for the entire duration of the Npower program.
My wife's status reads "Beneficiary" but she has not received any stipend. She concluded her physical verification last month. No stipend yet.
Politics › Re: Dr. Maduka: "I Will Fix Anambra In Every Aspect Because I Have Done It Before” by Focusmind: 4:30pm On Oct 29, 2021
This is the APC candidate in Anambra. APC will rig him in because of his popularity. He would later decamp to APC. Andy Uba is a bad market for APC.
Politics › Re: ICPC Recovers 301 Houses From Two Civil Servants In Abuja by Focusmind: 6:08am On Oct 29, 2021
I don't trust news coming from our anticorruption agencies. They like sensationalisation too much without any investigation. They know that Nigerians are so gullible with fake news. All these news would put them in a good light as if they are working.
See how EFCC is embarrassing themselves with Diezanni gold bra and millions of loots claimed to have recovered,yet they still couldn't convict her.

I don't take their news serious. They should do proper investigation like FBI and piece their findings together into a proper documents that could nail the culprits instead of all these media headlines.
Business › Re: FBN Holdings Appoints Nnamdi Okonkwo As GMD by Focusmind: 5:56am On Oct 29, 2021
Honestly, the first poster above is sick. Must everything be seen from the angle of tribe? Igbos should drop this their herd mentality. Hired to clean up which mess? He didn't know that the previous MD is from SE? Stupidity and ignorance are usually deadly when combined.
Career › Re: Saving Vs Investing: Which One Is Better? by Focusmind: 10:09am On Oct 28, 2021
If you are a low income earner, just save. No need investing.

But if you are a big earner, investing sure pass. Real estate if you can or in raw foods. Naira is on a free fall.
Sports › Re: Ronald Koeman Has Been Sacked By Barcelona by Focusmind: 10:06am On Oct 28, 2021
They should come and take Rohr from Nigeria if Amadu Picknick will allow. He knows how to build teams from the scratch. Barca needs rebuilding and Gernat Rohr is the right person lipsrsealed
Sports › Re: Obafemi Martins Celebrates His 37th Birthday Today by Focusmind: 9:01am On Oct 28, 2021
Nigerian professional footballers retiring so early while their supposed "age mate" from other countries are still firing from all cylinders. It showed that our players are far above their quoted age. Nigeria player that claimed "32" years of age will retire while his mate from Europe is still playing

He better stay where he is in form. Ask Hazard how far?
Career › Re: Help, My Work Is Messing With My Mental Health. by Focusmind: 2:56pm On Oct 27, 2021
I feel your pain bro. I was in the same shoe, though the pay was reasonable and opportunity to learn and grow were there. The pressure of investment banking and the unending stress of commuting was putting so much strain on my mental health. Having saved enough, got my own place, I resigned to set up my own outfit. It has been five years now.

The money is not flowing as I would have loved, nevertheless, the peace of mind and fulfillment is priceless. I missed my yearly bonuses, housing and medical allowances and profit share. My consulting outfit has not matched up to my former salary. But I am still holding on.

However, if you don't have any alternative and have not saved enough, please, don't resign. It is not funny out there. When you stay home for months without anything, you will know how far. When I set up myself for consultancy, I stayed for seven months without any income - no fee as there was no client. It was my former employer that gave me the first chance and that was the only fee I made in that year.

Nevertheless, don't give up and guard your heart jealously because out of it comes the issues of life.
Romance › Re: He insisted I take in before marriage by Focusmind: 1:32pm On Oct 27, 2021
The guy must be from Anambra state. That's the new rage now. Mums are also encouraging their sons to be sure say the thing don enter before any wedding. There is no more trust on the women folk.
Politics › Re: Police Recover Remains Of Robert Namene Loolo Kidnapped Two 2 Years Ago by Focusmind: 6:29am On Oct 27, 2021
Youth this; youth that. That's what you normally here in Rivers State, where majority are idle and looking for youth's leadership positions that add no value. Just to find cheap money. Contest for youth's leadership positions are usually bloody and violent in Rivers. My client in Onne is constantly harassed for contracts by these youth leaders,yet they would not deliver on the agreed terms stated in the purchase order.

Tell them to supply something as little as nylon bags, they will just collect the mobilization fee and run.
Education › Re: Rivers State University SUG Official Gives Boyfriend Award For Being Supportive by Focusmind: 5:59am On Oct 27, 2021
There is no hope for this country. The youths are behaving like the politicians. Imagine the nonsense that would come when these types takes the mantle of leadership? Countries greatness are projected based on the quality of their youth populations.
Here, our youths are fond of glamourising rubbish.
Travel › Re: Commercial Flights To Begin At Anambra Airport On October 30 by Focusmind:
Let the airport road remain safe. That's my worry. That airport road should be manned 24hours by security personnel. It would be a soft target for all those robbers since the road passed through villages known for strifes, violent crimes and armed robbery.

People landing in that airport are not going to umureri. Some would be going to Onitsha, Awka, Nnewi,Enugu or even to other neighbouring States like Kogi and Delta. The importance of secured airport road can't be over emphasize.

Congratulations!
