Sir, if you want to make premium bread that stands out, then you must be concerned about the kind of equipment you use.

I don't understand what you mean by premium bread. Forget about all those grammar bro. I have been in the business for more than 3years, quite stressful but rewarding. You will face so many challenges, most baker's will not release their formulas and to get honest staffs and manager is a big challenge. So many things involved. I can even write a book on bakery business now.

I also work in the oil industry. If shell wish to relocate,they should go ahead.
The community where i work at the moment has really benefited from the IOC's.
Despite 24hrs power supply,tarred roads, scholarship for their children and jobs,they still don't appreciate the IOC's.
Many of their children did not attend school and they expect the IOC's to employ them. When they even give them job, they sell their slots.
All they expect from the oil companies is to share their profit with everybody in the community.
How can you kidnap and destroy the assets of the oil companies and still expect them to remain in your community.

@ Onlinebiz
I think you need to read the article before making any comment.
I pasted the the link at the end of the article.
The forum/page is to inform muslims.
Can you please quote the verse of the bible where they mentioned christianity and where Jesus called himself a christain.

Please,take your time to read this story. It has the answers to some of your doubts and questions about islam and other religions...


I am ethnically a Russian Jew.

My quest began when I was 19 years old.

I was recovering from my stint with Scientology (yes I was brainwashed into it).

My belief in God was uncertain. My goals in life were to be a rock star. I was living in my Pasadena apartment and working as a secretary. Funny, I know.

One night I was walking to the kitchen, and encountered a dark fellow. I remembered asking him: "Can I keep this vodka in the fridge tonight?" We shook hands and went to sleep. After that point, my life changed drastically…

- Islam Changed My Life for the Best

- Islam Is Not What the Media Makes It Be!

This dark fellow, a Muslim, was the first Muslim I had ever met. Extremely curious, I conversed with him about his faith. What's this stuff I hear about praying 5 times a day? And about Holy War? Who is this Mohammed guy?

Our talks were accompanied by our Christian roommate, Wade. Together, we created "The Jewish, Christian, and Muslim dialogue sessions". In it, we discovered many differences, and many commonalities.

My interest had then shifted from sex, drugs, and parties, to a massive search for the truth. A search that I had to complete. A search for God. And a search for how to follow Him.

In my quest for the truth, I asked myself: "Ok let’s start simple, how many God's do I think are out there?" I figured only one; knowing that a divided God is weaker than One God; figuring that if one God didn't agree with the other, there might be arguments and feuds. One God was my choice.

Once I opened up my mind to the possibility of the existence of God, I analyzed both atheist and theist beliefs. The thing that directed me to the latter was the quote "Every design has a designer". With that in mind, eventually I woke up with certainty that God exists. I can't explain why, I just felt it somehow.

This newfound excitement was accompanied by a sense of responsibility to follow the Creator. The world of religion was my next frontier.

This ruled out Buddhism and Hinduism, both being polytheistic faiths.
Then I asked myself, "Where do I start?" There are literally thousands of them. I need a way to narrow them down to a just a few. How do I accomplish such a task? "Find the ones that are monotheistic" entered my mind. "Hey that makes sense, since I believe in only One God." Ok, then.

This ruled out Buddhism and Hinduism, both being polytheistic faiths. The major religions I encountered that fell under the title of Monotheistic, where Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Well since I'm a Jew, I started with Judaism. One God, some prophets, 10 commandments, Torah, Jewish souls…uh, what: "Jewish souls?"

While doing research this idea was brought to my attention. The story goes, "if a person is born Jewish, then they have a Jewish soul, and they must follow Judaism." Hold on a sec…that's discrimination, isn't it? That's not universal.

So God makes Jewish souls, and Christian souls, and Muslim souls, and Hindu souls? I thought all men are created equal? So, because one is born into a religion that means by the decree of God he must remain in it… even if the person believes it to be false? Hmm…I don't agree with that.

Another thing really bothered me…there is no strict concept of hell in Judaism…then why be good? Why not sin? If I don't have fear of strict punishment, then why should I be moral?

Moving on, I discovered Christianity. Ok, one God, a father, a son, and a holy ghost…one more time: one God, a father, a son, and a holy ghost. Uhhh, please explain. How can all those things be one God? 1 + 1 + 1 = 3 right? So how can you say you believe in only one God?

Explanation after explanation, equation after equation, comparison after comparison, analogy after analogy, I couldn't grasp this concept. Ok let's keep looking here.

you're telling me that a one-year old baby is guilty of sin or doing something wrong?
Ok, next major doctrine: Jesus died for our sins and he did this because we all are polluted with "Original Sin". So, Jesus Christ, the "son of God", had to be murdered to save everyone from Hell and cure us of our sin "given" to us by Adam.

Ok then, so are you saying that we are all born as sinners? And to sin is to do something wrong right? Then you're telling me that a one-year old baby is guilty of sin or doing something wrong? Ok that's strange, so based on the actions of one man, all of mankind must suffer? What's the moral of that story? Punish the whole group if one deviates? Why would God create such a rule? That's just not in agreement with my logic.

So Jesus died because he "loves mankind". Hold on, it says in the Bible that Jesus said "father, why have you forsaken me?" So, apparently, Jesus didn't understand why he was being brutally murdered. But you just said he "volunteered" to be sacrificed. Anyway, I couldn't accept this belief.

Ok, what's the next religion? Islam. Islam means submission. The main beliefs are as follows: One God, worship God five times a day, give 2.5% annual charity, fast during Ramadan (to be closer to God and appreciate life…among other reasons) and finally journey to Mecca for Hajj if you are able financially. Ok, nothing hard to understand so far.

There's nothing that conflicts with my logic here. The Quran is a book with all of these interesting miracles and timeless wisdom. Many scientific facts only discovered recently where proclaimed 1400 years ago in this book.

Ok, Islam had passed my initial religious prerequisites. But I wanted to ask some deep questions about it. Is this religion universal? Yes, anyone can understand these basic beliefs…no analogy or equation are needed. Does it agree with science? Yes, dozens of verses in the Quran agree with modern science and technology.

Why couldn't I find the very name of the religions in those two books?
As I sifted through the countless logical facts that I read through and researched, one thing took my attention the most. "Islam". The name of this religion. I noticed it is written many times in this Quran.

However, recalling my prior studies, I didn't remember once seeing the word "Judaism" in the Old Testament or "Christianity" in the New Testament. This was BIG. Why couldn't I find the very name of the religions in those two books? Because, there is no name in these books!

Thinking…I noticed that "Judaism" could be broken down to "Juda- ism" and "Christianity" could be respectively "Christ-ianity". So who is Juda? Or Judah, rather. He was the tribe leader of the Hebrews when God revealed His message to mankind. So this religion was named after…a person. Ok let’s look at who Christ is. He was the person who delivered the message of God to the Jews. So this religion was named after…a person.

So in recollection, we can deduct that the names of these religions are people's proper names attached to "ism" and "ianity". Regardless of that fact, the very names of those religions are not mentioned in their scriptures. I thought that was very odd.

If I went door to door selling a product, and I said "Would you like to buy this _______"? Wouldn't the logical question be: "What is this _____ called?" I would make no money off of a product without a name.

Naming is the very basis which humans identify with objects, both physical and non-physical. If religion is supposed to be practiced and spread to every person on earth, shouldn't there be a NAME for it?

Moreover, shouldn't the name be given to us from God Almighty? YES, my point exactly. The names "Christianity" and "Judaism" were not written in the Holy Scriptures. Humans named them, not God. The notion that God would ordain a religion for mankind to follow without a name is impossible for my mind to accept.

At that point, both Christianity and Judaism lost their credibility as pure, logical, and complete religions, at least from my perspective.

Islam is the ONLY of these religions to include the NAME of the religion in its scriptures. This is so huge for me.

I realized I would follow Islam at that point. I then became a Muslim.

I knew the truth. I was out of the darkness. I came into the light…

How much can you buy a 32GB ipad 4 Wifi retina display from me. It was a xmas gift from my company and i am not a apple fan.

Greater phc indeed! I learnt he is already selling the land to companies and some individuals after withdrawing the land from the owners

@Risky
Let us try to avoid insults and be objective in our analysis. All our rulers are the same and we need to call them to order.
I don't know when private jets becomes asset to a state that is ravaged by flood with no meaningful development .
I was one of those singing his praises during his first term in office. Honestly,I was not happy when I saw the state of there roads last month.

Rooneyboy:

The state is in complete shambles my sister.

Prior to my visit, when ever I heard PH I used to think it was a very beautiful city, but on my arrival I was so disappointed.

Bad roads ,
Stayed there for about two weeks and saw light for about 45 minutes.

Really, I DEY SHAME FOR MY COUNTRY.

I was highly dissapointed when i saw the state of there roads.He did well in his first term; built schools and dualized some major roads.
This is the more reason why i dont support re-electing them for 2nd term.

^^^ Corruption everywhere. He need one more to compete with the likes of Bishop Oyedepo. We need revolution in Nigeria. Enough is enough.

Amaechi's second term is just a scam. I went to PHC last month and i couldn't find any improvement, The roads are in bad shape and you can hardly point to any good drianage in the town.

Governor Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State has acquired a brand new Bombardier Global 5000 (N565RS) for his exclusive use, SaharaReporters has learnt.

Mr. Amaechi’s lavish new “toy” comes at a time hundreds of thousands of residents in his state are displaced by the worst flooding crisis in the state’s history.

The newly purchased jet left Montreal-Trudeau Airport in Montreal, Quebec to Dakar Yoff International Airport. And then it was delivered to the state government on October 7th 2012.

The jet was primarily purchased from Bombardier in Canada for $45.7 million through the Bank of Utah Trustee account. “This is an ungodly act,” said a Port Harcourt-based human rights campaigner. “Why should Governor Amaechi’s priority be to acquire a jet at a time the state is experiencing the worst flooding in its history, leaving many Rivers indigenes homeless?” he added.

Last year Mr. Amaechi traded off the state’s current Embraer Legacy 600 claiming it was too expensive to maintain. There were also unconfirmed claims that the jet was struck by lightning.

The oil-rich Rivers State already owns an AW139 helicopter which it leased to Aero Contractors. The state then turned around to patronize Aero’s VIP Sikorsky S76C helicopter at a cost one critic described as “exorbitant and unjustified.”

Last year, the state government sold its Dash 8-Q200 aircraft to Cross River State for $6 million. Cross River State then leased the plane to Aero Contractors to undertake commercial flights to and from Obudu airstrip in the state.

It is due to static electricity. I also have the same problem.
Try to read about it online.
Our bodies conduct static electricity and it depends on individuals.
I dont think you have any problem. Try to change your footwear.
Avoid wearing footwear that is made from rubber or plastic.
Dont drag your feet on the ground when you are walking.

So sad. I was on the a plane(SA from Joburg-Lagos) with Rev ngozi Cole. She sat down beside me,such an amiable woman. We chatted all the way frm SA to Nigeria. may her soul RIP

How much is the kitchen hood.

That is a good one. It serves them right.
Hope they will learn from this.

Good step.It serves them right.

@ Elsafema
I am also building a 4BR bungalow in Ibadan.
From what i learnt from this thread,i will advice you to
do the german floor.
The price of cement should be 1850 naira per bag.
Sand is 13k per trip.
Instead of gravel i will advice you to go for granite.
Its just 2,200 naira per tonne,it is more economical compared to gravel.
Labour is not all that expensive,i paid 40k for every 1000 blocks laid.
Anyway am not an expert,but make sure you get the best hands to do the job for you.
All the best.

I was refused entry into SA late last year based on the issue of yellow card. I obtained my yellow card from Ivory coast(their claim was that my vaccination card was fake) after receiving proper vaccination. Despite the fact that i have entered SA and some other African countries several times with the same yellow card, they still refused me entry into their country. I did not travel with Arik,it was South African Airlines. This in-human treatment and discrimination against Nigerians should stop.
My yello fever's card was seized, and i was delayed,several hours before being allowed to enter the transit area.
I think this is the time for our our govt to act.

BOMANY:

@ ibrokay
