Paying tithe is scriptural and very important to all Christians. If you are not paying your tithe you are not obeying the scriptures. But ofcourse its your personal decision and shouldn't have affected your chances of landing that job unless the company is a church coy and really bent on hiring a person with their kind of believe and doctrines which happens too. Wish you good luck op.

Politics / Fashola Lied Again - Jimi Agbaje by adonisNEW(m): 10:49pm On Feb 24, 2015
The Lagos Peoples Democratic Pary Governorship
candidate, Mr Jimi Agbaje, has said tha Governor
Babatund Fashola of Lagos State lied again on his
company’s tax.
The PDP guber candidate said that for Fashola to say
that he has now paid N500,000 is a lie. and that
there is no truth in the governoes statement.
“There is no truth in this latest piece of
misinformation that the Governor is spreading around.
He lied again, giving the impression that my company
paid money after his initial outburst and his first lie.
“JAYKAY PHARMACEUTICALS has not paid a kobo
since the day Fashola launched his initial allegation.
To say that I have now paid N500,000 is a lie. My
company sticks to the facts contained in its initial
publication, which encapsulated its reaction to the
Governor’s initial falsehood.
“However, through his recent outburst this weekend,
we get a clear picture of what his problem is.
“The fact remains that Mr. Jimi Agbaje has never
stopped to acknowledge Mr. Fashola’s efforts at
improving Lagos. But the result of all his efforts still
remains that Lagos in the Economic intelligence Unit
(EIU) is still ranked 137th out of 140 cities listed in
the liveability index. This means that if you take 140
cities worldwide where people consider good to live in,
Lagos is the fourth worst place to live in.
“Apart from this, a World Bank survey shows that of
the 36 states in Nigeria, Lagos is still the worst state
in terms of the ease of securing Building Permits.
“It is still on record too that the party Fashola
represents has delivered less than 5,000 units till
date.
“It is still on record that more students in Lagos fail
WAEC than those who pass.
“Even when we consider corruption, we are aware
that Governor Fashola is yet to challenge anyone for
corruption at the state level. Or is he saying Lagos is
100 percent corruption-free? Yet he goes about
castigating the government. He should walk his talk
and lead by example –expose and prosecute high-
ranking corrupt officials in his government and the
state civil service.
“The corruption in the Lekki Toll Plaza will be made
public in due cause.
“Clearly, Governor Babatunde Fashola has set out to
exploit the commanding heights he occupies in the
seat of government to bully us. And we shall stand
up to bullies.”
It is quite illuminating that Governor Fashola is taking
the issue of politics this personal and playing dirty
politics.
What Lagosians should ask is what is driving
Fashola’s violent outbursts? What has Fashola got to
hide?
Other than lay the facts bare to enable the public
form an informed opinion, Jimi Agbaje refuses to be
baited into Fashola’s self-declared verbal warfare.
Agbaje has always maintained that his politics and his
campaign will be issues-based, and no roforofo
badmouthing from anyone, no matter how highly
placed, will steer Agbaje away from development-
based politicking.
Mr. Agbaje comes squeaky clean, and no amount of
lies, misinformation, disinformation and falsehood can
impinge on the integrity of a man who made
invaluable sacrifices in the struggle for this
democracy.
Politics / Obasanjo’s Membership Card Hadexpired, Says PDP by adonisNEW(m): 10:39pm On Feb 24, 2015
THE Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
Tuesday said that the membership card torn
by former President Olusegun Obasanjo
recently was an expired card that no longer
qualified him as a member of the party.
The party also stated it’s readiness to
capture the South West geo-political zone and
win the March 28 presidential election
convincingly.
PDP National Secretary, Wale Oladipo,
while receiving a delegation of students
mobilization group for President Goodluck
Jonathan’s re-election, stated that Obasanjo’s
membership card was among the expired cards
the PDP leadership had already isolated for
destruction.
Oladipo said: “Baba is over 80 and my
mother is around Obasanjo’s age and when
you reach that age, you do things that only
you can explain. Secondly, you will see that
Baba did not tear our card. He asked
somebody ostensibly to do the tearing and I
am assuring you that the card that was torn
was not the current PDP card. The current
PDP card is signed by Mu’azu and Prof. Wale
Oladipo. So the card he tore was the one
signed by the former PDP Acting National
Chairman, Kawu Baraje, which we were going
to destroy anyway.”
And expressing confidence that Jonathan
would record a convincing victory, PDP
National Deputy Chairman, Uche Secondus,
said the party would shock the opposition in
the South West by achieving an unimaginable
level of victory in that zone.
“If you look well, the projects commissioned
by President Jonathan in the last few weeks
were in the South West including two power
projects.”
He mentioned the Lagos-Ibadan expressway
as one of those projects in the South West that
could sway votes in favour of the President.

Health / Re: Six Dangers Of Consuming Soft Drinks by adonisNEW(m): 7:54pm On Feb 23, 2015

Health / Six Dangers Of Consuming Soft Drinks by adonisNEW(m): 7:37pm On Feb 23, 2015
With more and more soft drink brands entering the
market virtually everyday, one will think they have
lots to offer in terms of health benefits.
Unfortunately they don’t!
To say that soft drinks do more harm than good will
be putting it mildly. The truth is apart from the
immediate feeling they give you, they do not offer
anything good at all.
Here are the top reasons why you should stop taking
soft drinks if you really are care about your health.
1. Soft drinks have no nutritional value
Considering that soft drinks are filled with sugar and
calories, they offer little or nothing in terms of
nutrition. This is because these are two things you
want to actually avoid to stay healthy. Infact, even
diet soft drinks do not offer any nutritional benefit
except that they contain less calories and sugar. If
your goal is rehydration, then plain water can do that
without bringing along the calories and sugar.
2. Soft drinks are a major factor in obesity and
diabetes
A can of coke contains as much as 10 cubes of sugar
and you will need to cycle for 25 minutes to burn
the calories. The sweetener used in most soft drinks
is high-fructose corn syrup. This type of sugar has
been linked to several conditions including obesity
and diabetes. Diet soft drinks can also contribute to
this because the sweetener used in them have been
found to lead to increased appetite and makes it more
difficult to lose weight. People who take one or more
sugary drinks a day have been found to be more
likely to have Type 2 Diabetes than those who don’t.
3. Soft drinks and dentition
Soft drinks are made with carbonated water and this
weakens tooth enamel, leading to the formation of
cavities and tooth decay. The sugar in these drinks
also coats the teeth allowing bacteria to thrive in the
mouth. Studies have shown that soft drinks alone are
responsible for doubling or tripling the cases of tooth
decay.
4. Soft drinks and weakened Bones
Soft drinks can be a factor in cases of osteoporosis
where the bones are weakened. This is especially true
in those who substitute the intake of milk with soft
drinks. Children who consume excessive soft drinks
have also been found to be at a significant risk of
impairment in the calcification of their growing
bones.
5. Metabolic Syndrome
This syndrome combines high blood pressure, high
cholesterol, insulin resistance with obesity. Soft
drinks have unfortunately been found to be a major
risk factor for the development of this syndrome.
6. Dehydration
You may think that soft drinks are good for
rehydration. It is important to note that the
rehydration is short-lived. Many soft drinks contain
significant amounts of caffeine.
Caffeine is a kind of diuretic that causes an increase
in the volume of urine passed. The excess sugar also
causes more water to be lost from your body.
There are several healthy alternative drinks that you
can take instead of soft drinks and they include tea,
natural fruit juice, coffee, low fat milk and plain
water.

Religion / Dangers Of Comparison- Mrs. Faith Oyedepo by adonisNEW(m): 7:43pm On Feb 22, 2015
Pastor Faith Oyedepo: Sunday
February 22, 2015 Daily Devotional -
Dangers of Comparison
“For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or
compare ourselves with some that commend
themselves: but they measuring themselves by
themselves, and comparing themselves among
themselves, are not wise.”- 2 Corinthians 10:12
Years ago, I heard a story of a sister who killed her
twin brother on the eve of the day he was suppose to
travel abroad. He had clearly had a major
breakthrough in his career, and she was not happy
about it. Unknown to him, their competition started
long ago and this time, she felt that she could not
afford to lose! She had conceived this thought for so
many years and that day in her mind, was the perfect
time to execute it. It was a culmination of many years
of favouritism but how exactly did this start?, you
may ask.
The said sister grew up “knowing” that her brother
was better than her. When I mean better, I mean in
every aspect. He was the best at school, quick to
deliver when sent on errands, very respectful, and
full of life. The parents did not hesitate to rub it in
her face, how much more preferred her brother was.
So, she began to resent him. This resentment grew
to strong hatred, when she began to accept that she
would never become anything like her brother, no
matter how hard she tried.
Career wise, he was doing great and she, just
struggling. So, on that fateful day, she decided to end
it all. End the frustration, competition and hatred she
felt. Clearly what she did was wrong, but this had a
root in her upbringing. Her parents had shown
favouritism to her brother and never realized that by
doing so, they told her she was not worth it.
She would never be as good, as smart, or as
successful. They tarnished her worth before she even
had the chance to build it up on her own. Note that
the major aim of this is not to shift blame, take sides
with her, or validate her actions, but to show you
clearly one of the ill effects of having a favourite and
showing it; to the disadvantage of other siblings.
While this is an extreme case, favouritism has
brought about low self esteem, unhealthy
competition, and even rivalries among siblings. As
you start your day, examine how you have handled
your children. Is there any way you might be
favouring one above the others? Seek to amend that
today and it will save yours and their futures. Every
child has the capacity to be great, but it begins with
you.
Remain Blessed!
