It is saddens my heart when i see people going to church without putting the previous sermon or any of the pass church sermons into practice. Why is that Godlinism only last less than 24hrs in this part of the world? Whe are only Godly from 6am-5pm (sunday school inclusive), our bibles are shelved immediately after this period. I often try to figure out the essence of warming benches in our various churches when it is quite obvious that all the preachings will be highlighted and discarded immediately that bible is shelved and ours church shoes,tie and shirts were hung in our wardrobes, is this not first class hypocrisy? We shouldn't treat God like Nigerian police and think we can bribe him with that #50 and #20 on sundays. My dearest christian, stop seeing tithe and offerings as direct spear head that will automatically pave way for us into paradise, let match what we hear with actions. I wish ya all happy SUNDAY.

This analysis was written by Jim W. Dean.There was a lot of distraction in the news last week, particularly the flank attack moves on Obama that obscured a huge development in the Mid East… the first return of the Russian Pacific Navy for Mediterranean deployment since 1992.
The first big part of the news is the active word‘permanent.’ Corporate media decided to ignore the strategic shift consequences of that, and the West maybe looking back soon at the wisdom their aggressive regime change military moves,despite the extensive use of proxies.
The recent Israeli attacks on Syria, particularly the use of anuclear bunker buster gave the Russians a gift from heaven, opening the door to make a defensive deployment to protect their longtime ally in Syria. The Russians are back in the Med to stay,and this might be a good lesson to the follyof the Western slow motion aggression policy in the region, which has put a match to the whole place.
Russian Navy Commander Admiral Viktor Chirkov has announced that a permanent staff was being set up, and the present force might eventually include their nuclear submarines. In speaking to RIA:
“Overall, already from this year, we plan to have five or six warships and support vessels [in the Mediterranean Sea], which will be replaced on a rotating basis from each of the fleets - the Black Sea, Baltic, Northern and, in some cases, even the Pacific Fleet. Depending on the scope of assignments and their complexity, the number of warships in the task force may be increased.”
Defense Minister SergeiShoigu let the cat out of the bag when he stated that a permanent naval task force was needed to defend Russian interests in the region. The world has watchedfor two years now how coolly Russia has dealt with the continuing escalations in the fighting there, supported by a growing number of outside states who have effectively declared war on Syria thinking that such was a no-risk deal.
Here is what corporate media has not been telling you all. The preemptive strike doctrine of the Israelis and Neocons is going to be challenged. Netanyahu can talk all he wants to about red lines which will trigger a preemptive ‘defensive’ strike, but yours truly has written in these columns that eventually the intended targets would adopt that policy themselves. They have actually been given permission to by the dummies who invented it.
US Navy sources can sneer at the ‘old’ Russian ships all they want to, but there is nothing old about what they will be carrying, a game changer… their state-of-the-art missiles which they made a top priority in their defensepolicy as the new missiles are revolutionizing the next generation of warfare. The will sweep the skies of planes and the seas of ships. Air forces are working now to deployrobotic war plane drones that are basically missiles themselves by matching their speeds and aerodynamics.
Part of the corporate media hoax has been the fraudulent story of the S-300s being ‘introduced’ to the region as being destabilizing. Anyone wanting to check a copy of Jane’s in 1996 will find them already in Syria. Maybe some definition game has been going on that if they were under Russian physical control, as American munitions are in many foreign bases, they are not officially Syrian. ButI would ask the lazy media what they thought brought downthe Turkish F-16 provocations, a waste of those unfortunate pilots in peace time.
Yes folks, the S-300’s have been there all thistime, and not fired at Israel yet. But that is allgoing to change. Israel’s days of roaming freely over Lebanon airspace and their ability to launch air flight munitions without entering Syrian territory may be over, or it will be when the Russians decide to.
Their fleet, even its older ships will be carrying their state-of-the-art weapons likethe S-400’s where a pilot only has two or three seconds to live once the ‘beep beep’ that they are locked onto at tremendous speeds. The Russian ships on patrol will be able to shoot any attacking Israeli planesdown, including those returning to base post attack. They can even be shot down while taking off.
Any retaliatory strike by Israel would trigger a full response by the Russians that could include their bases andcommand structure. Their updated Iskandermissiles are stated to have speeds in the Mach 6 to 7 range but our sources say over Mach 8. To evade anti-missile fire they can pull 30+ g turns and make a 90-degree dive onto a target while doing so. The Israeli bullies have never had to stand up to a modern military but they may get the chance. They won’t likeit.
The beauty in all of thisis the scenario described above could all be done in a purely defensive mode while resisting an Israeli attack. After one incident alone the Russians might tell the Israelis that any Israeli warplane leaving Israeli air space would be considered an attack and both the plane and the base it flew from subject to attack.
Oh… I forgot to mention above that the targeting can be done either by satelliteor programmed into the missiles so jamming would not be effective. This is not the Gaza Strip mortar shells on a back yard rocket tube, which Israel claims to be sucha mortal threat where they have repeatedly launched civilian punishment retaliations as ‘deterrents.’ The dummy Israelis did notrealize that they were giving moral permission for the same thing to be done to them someday.
Veterans Today has reported that the US Army Corps of Engineers has been spending huge amounts of money building the Israelis nuclear strike proof command centers. More American taxpayer money was wasted to protect Israel, which has a huge weapons-of-mass-destruction inventory threatening everyone else. Under the Bush/NeoCon preemptive strike policy the Russians could have taken theseout of ‘potential’ threats, and similarly the Patriot missile batteries.
As for accuracy, the Iskanders can take the Patriot missile batteries out the first day. And the Russians could surrender to the international court the next day on the grounds that their response was totally legal under international law. And if that did not suffice, their second defense would be the Bush doctrine of preemptive strike for defensive purposes… not to eliminate a future threat, but one that had already signaled its hostile intent.
If any of you are thinking I am hyping this scenario, I held up publishing this until I got confirmation from the Israelis. The headline of the Israel Hayom for May 19th was:
“Expect Israeli strikes on Russian arms shipments to Syria-Hezbollah… US officials tell the Wall Street Journal another round of Israeli airstrikes could target a new Russian transfer of Yakhont advanced anti-ship missiles in the near future.”
This was nothing more than laying the ground work for the IDF to continue aggressive strikes in support of the Syrian rebels. Note the automatic linking of Syria and Hezbollah like they share arms depots or the Russians let them give their arms away to others. Do the Israelis have US permission? Well, kind of. Obama said Israel has the right to defend itself, so that means others have the right, also. But the game is a bit different when someone is in the Med who has full retaliatoryability including nuclear weapons.
Oh, I forgot to mention something about the nuclear bunker buster that the Israelis used inDamascus. The Russians of course have them also, to use on their newer missilesto keep their weight down for higher speed or longer range, and to make sure one missile does the job. Despite Bibi’s claiming that Israel is ready for all eventualities, it is ready for none of this. And if the Russians responded to an Israeliattack, believe me the US would not intercede.
The US would be in enough trouble for having put the region in such danger by arming Israel to the teeth to a level its own population could neverhave afforded, nor would they if they could have.
When Israel suffers a substantial retaliatory strike after an aggressive attack on their part, I can promise you the average Israeli is goingto have an instant different opinion of thebully buzz they have grown used to when attacking weak or defenseless opponents.
In the long run more than a few international civilian and military Intel entities have long suspected that this is what eventually would have to happen to remove Israel as a threat to everybody. They would attack the wrong people at the wrong time.
Nobody in the American military is going to willingly die for bully Israel other than maybe the Christian Zios in the Air Force. But that said, theworld would be a safer place with them gone anyway.[color=#990000][/color]

A high school in centralMississippi allegedly forced students to watch a Christian videoand listen to church officials preach about Jesus Christ.
The American Humanist Association’slegal center filed a lawsuit against Northwest Rankin HighSchool in Flowood on Wednesday, accusing the school of violating the student’s First Amendment rights.
The school has held at least three mandatory assemblies about finding hope in Jesus Christ this month, according to the lawsuit. The assemblies showed a video laced with Christian messages about overcoming personal hardships through Jesus Christ and were allegedly led by local church officials.
“See, before Jesus came, innocent blood had to be shed for our sins,” one of the churchofficials allegedly told the students. “There had to be an animal that was sacrificed to atone for our sin. Therehad to be innocent blood. So Jesus came and he was the innocent blood because he lived a perfect life. He was thatinnocent blood. See the last few years of Jesus’ life he traveled from region to region and country to country and he had 12 disciplesthat followed him everywhere. And he talked about the hope he was bringing.”
The assemblies concluded with a prayer and teachers blocked the exits to prevent students from leaving, the lawsuit claimed. A disillusioned student videotaped one of the assemblies.
Though student-led religious groups and activities are constitutionally permissible in public schools, the U.S. Supreme Court has held that faculty-sponsored religious events violate the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment, which prohibits the government from advancing or endorsing religion.

As Nigeria prepares for her centennial celebration next year, British lawyers have revealed that a filecontaining Colonial Britain’s criminal activities in Nigeria are in secret boxes.
An online publication said the information is contained in 200 boxes of files: 1.5 tons of paper covering about 200 metres of shelving.
They are files on torture from 37 different colonies and protectorates, including Aden, Ceylon, Cyprus, Kenya, Malaya, Malta, Nigeria and Northern Rhodesia.
The Northern and Southern protectorates were amalgamated by the British colonialgovernment in 1914, giving birth to Nigeria.
However, British lawyers and media, in a publication in The Guardian of London, weekend, said the secret government files from the final years of the Britishempire containing its crimes in Nigeria and other colonies were hidden in London.
There is a 1960 fileconcerning Northern Cameroons, both of which the Foreign Office plans to withhold until 2029.
These files remain classified under the terms of Section 3.4 of the 1958 Public Records Act, whichpermits government departments to withhold from public view any historic document “required for administrative purposes” or that “ought to be retained for any other special reason.”
Last year, a Nigerian website, USA Africa Dialogue Series, accused the UK of destroying recordsof its colonial crimes. It said between 1954 and1959, the regional governors in Nigeria were encouraged by theColonial Office to send “chatty reports” mainly onsocio-political developments andon personalities intheir regions.
But these governors, in spiteof their cooperation in thisregard, also demanded that their returns should be destroyed after they might have been digested.
A governor was said to have written “as you will see some of the comment is ‘hot’ and I should not like them to get too wide a circulation. I would be most grateful therefore, if after you read it you burn it.”
In the northern region, Sir Brian Sharwood-Smith (the colonial governor), pleaded that his “chatty reports” and other series toT. B. Williamson in the Colonial Office on his (Sir Brian’s) appraisal of the politicians and political situation should not be filedand were in fact tobe (N.F.F.= Not For Filing) destroyed after Sharwood-Smith’s retirement.
The publication said the information is contained in 200 boxes of files: 1.5 tons of paper that covered about 200metres of shelving.

"If you have one or two stickers sticked to your vehicle"
Hello OP the past tense or past participle of stick is stuck. So it shd read something like " if u have stickers stuck to your car". Just my own contribution.

thanks bro.

It's so worrisome seing an educated car owner littering his/her car with stickers of various words inscribed on it. Is there any importance attached to it in Nigeria? If you have one or two stickers sticked to your vehicle, tell us your reason(s) for leaving it sticked to your car all round the year.

@jaymichael? Is that all you gonna say on this innovative thread opened by someone with a very good foresight? Please if you aingat any meaningful thing to contribute bro, i beg go pack for BRT lane, for the fact that you have failed in that attempt or someone else has fail in that respect does not mean that others will fail.

All 9ja pastor wey dey use dream interpretation dey scam people should know that their scamming days are numbered.

@ italo, I have checked that bible verse on my cellphone, is there any other verse where easter is being celebrated apart from luke24?

Itz got a very nice aesthetic design.

I'm always curious to know if easter celebration has ever been validated in the holy bible. Has any of jesus' disciples ever observed easter celebration in the bible after the death of jesus christ. I want people with larger biblical mind to enlighten me so as to enlighten others about the importance of easter celebration using important bible verse(s) to buttress my point(s).

@k24dett, i gat your point and i will get those manuals online even if am gonna use my pocket money or feeding allowance but we have to understand the fact that the online stuffs can never be substituted for real automotive class and workshop training. As for that aspect that you said 'having a car would help', i am just an undergraduate from a family slightly below Nigerian standard of middle class, i guess the car aspect is not feasible and unrealistic in anyway atleast for now. THANKS ALOT for your contribution.

I don't know how to thank you for your contribution. Infact, i have never met anyone like you ever since 2009 i registered on this forum, helping someone you 've never set your eyes on is incredible, Trac is 1 in a million african.

Thanks so much bro, you have just sown a seed in someones life. Do you know of any nice AUTOMOBILE REPAIR WORKSHOP in Nigeria where i can apply as an IT student or enroll as an apprentice, i am ready to spend any little time i have learning about autorepair, i want to cease the opportunity of second IT after 400L in learning about automobile, i wouldnt mind to recieve it via my email if you feel it's confidential.

nissparts: Bigger tires and rims will negatively affect your fuel economy

Please i need you to explain to us what an increment in rims has got to do with an automobile fuel consumption. This is a section mainly occupied by matured minds, if you say NO to something, then u 've gat prove ur point to convince the Op. If he knows better, he wouldnt have asked us about it in Car section.

smartchoice: Trac here we go again bro, I have been seriously eavesdropping and interested, my email is oyinxyl@yahoo.co.uk

Smartchoice hmmmmm, then we are of like minds.

Trac:

What's your e-mail address?

my email address is abimbz@yahoo.com, i have not been visit this forum for awhile, because lectures has already started in my school and the only thing on our mind is CGPA. Please, i am eager to see those stuffs delivered into my mailbox.

How far ore? I sincerely congratulate you for winning etisalat kia picanto today,i regret not purchasing the ticket bro and i wish you the very best as you cruise arround with your new car.

vallycan: Ayo to b a pope ne-he; dat mins his goin to own private jets to each countries in d world; and foremostly dier religion practice is very diffrent:

Should the pastor Ayo Oritsejafor become the leader of world catholic church? What do you think is gonna be like if this MOG should lead catholic church.

Ok, i will mail him while waiting for your response bro.

I would like to specialise in japanesse cars, but it seems most of these cars operates using similar principle irrespective of the country where they are being manufactured. I would prefer powertrain option. Sienna has not been visiting this forum for awhile now because i 'd follow both of you on this forum.

Becoming a seasoned auto machanic or auto technician is one of those two things i have passion for in my life after AGRICULTURE. Currently, i'm an undergraduate of mechanical engineering (UNILORIN), i seized the 7 months IT(Industrial Training) opportunity to learn the introductory part of auto repair in Lagos. I am already developing unquenchable interest in auto industry and want to pursue a career in auto repair immediately after B.eng. I'm gonna be so glad if auto proffessors in this forum could help me with the following problems; 1. Institute(s) that oversees automobile mechanics or automotive engineer in Nigeria. 2. How to get myself certified in Nigeria. 3. Those proffessional exams that i must write both international and national. 4. General advise on how to become a seasoned and respected automotive engr. like sienna and trac. I also need advise from career guidance and chancellor and any others who are automotive and mechanically oriented on this forum.

Thanks so much bro, you have just opened my eyes to important ingredients that will be used in actualizing my dreams. I hope the mistakes i made by not posting this to the right section will not hinder my chance of getting accurate informations and orietations from you. I still look up to guys like you on this forum for timely info as i'm about to project myself into the world of automobile.

Itz a fact on this forum that you can not take all this kinda historic stuff about brave and fortunate people away from iyaniwura.
