How?

Provide a link bridge that connect VI and Ibeshe Ikorodu

The man is still in pain. He should face Sahara Reporters na.

Rev father or not, I think a disciplined man won't get any ideas living with a 16year old but i wouldn't count on the chances... Maybe you should go do the cooking instead since you are older and more mature.

You mean a softnipple should cook for a rev father. OK na

Who is gbawe

the gbawe i know is just an ordinary gbawe with little political value here.


don't be bias bro give it up to the boss mr barcanista

Well, only devil himself can recognize barcanista. I give it to the best analyst GBAWE!

Gbawe is the politics section PRESIDENT.

Erastus Akingbola comes to mind.

I think the problem of neglect is multifaceted.

1. Gross incompetence of the so called professionals.

2. Bad economy that leads to massive retrenchment and ultimate neglect of IT professionals.

3. Scheming out of IT professionals in most businesses. They are seen as those that don't generate money to the company. They take all the time. But IT is the backbone of today's businesses.

4. Ignorance of those that determine the economy. They see IT department as useless. They prefer archaic ways of doing things like manually keeping files, sending letters through NITEL etc. They kill IT.

I will stop here for now.

u dry?

You love her but she doesn't love you. Love can make one do what others can term silly. Look inward. If she loves you, she goes by your religion.

My advise: There are more than 5 million Catholic girls out there.

Btw I am a Muslim.

1. Archimedes' Constant (Pi): 3.1415...
Archimedes' constant, or "Pi," is the name given to the ratio of the circumference of a circle to the diameter, but it's actually so much more than that.

Greek mathematician Archimedes is credited with the first theoretical calculation of Pi, which he estimated was between 3 10/71 and 3 1/7 — or 223/71.

Pi is now defined as 3.1415926535... etc

Application: Pi is the key constant in any equation that involves circular or harmonic motion. It's one of the most essential relationships in mathematics.

2. Euler's Number (e): 2.7182...

Euler's number is also known as the exponential growth constant. It is the base for natural logarithms and is found in many areas of mathematics.

Application: In finance, Euler's number is used to determine compound interest, which is extremely vital in understanding the time value of money — the backbone of finance.

Moreover, Euler's number is crucial when describing any decaying relationship - think Carbon 14 dating.


3. The Golden Ratio: 1.6180...

The golden ratio is a number often encountered when taking the ratios of distances in geometric figures.

Application: The golden ratio is often used in financial technical analysis to attempt to determine when a market will continue its path or reverse.

It's also observed very frequently in nature, especially in the way that some naturally occurring spirals expand outward.


4. Planck's Constant: 6.626068 x 10^-34 m^2 kg/s

The constant is named after Max Planck, one of the fathers of quantum theory. Planck's constant reflects the size and energy quanta in quantum mechanics. Werner Heisenberg used it to help determine the Uncertainty Principle.

Application: Some writers speculate that this Uncertainty Principle can be used to determine stability and sustainability of a financial instrument.

But if you want a real-world application, you'll have to wait a few years though. The quantum-computer is still in theoretical phases, but if it becomes a reality - if engineers are able to design a computer that stores information not in electrical ones and zeros but in six quantum orientations of bits - it could have a bigger impact on the world than the semiconductor.


5. Avogadro's Constant: 6.0221515 x 10^23

Avogadro's constant is a number used to explain to atoms, molecules, ions and electrons. For elements, the relative atomic mass expressed in grams contains the Avogadro Constant of atoms.

Application: Avogadro's constant is an interesting relationship between a multitude of different chemical properties. A chemical engineer might need to use the application of that knowledge - called stoichiometry - every single day of his life.

It's in many way a real life "sweet spot," when you have precisely the number of atoms in a pile such that that pile of atoms weighs, in grams, the atomic weight of the substance on the periodic table. That pile is called one "mole" of atoms. So, a mole of Carbon contains exactly 6.022 x 1023 atoms of carbon, and if you weigh it, it would weigh 12.011 grams, carbon's atomic weight


6. The Speed of Light: 186,282 miles per second

The speed of light is 186,282 miles per second, or 299,792,458 meters per second. A meter is defined from this constant.

Understanding the speed of light is both one of physics' proudest accomplishments, and understanding what it really implies is one of its most dizzying questions.

Application: The speed of light is used in many different mathematical formulas and in analyzing space travel. It's part of Einstein's famous equation of relativity by which we understand the relationship of mass and energy. It's the "c" in E=mc2.


7. Gravitational Constant (G): 6.67300 x 10^-11 m^3 kg^-1 s^-2
The gravitational constant appears in Newton's law of gravitation, and is known as the constant G. Additionally, G also appears in Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity.

Application: G helps determine the force between two masses. Knowledge of G is crucial for any civil, mechanical, or aerospace engineer. Making sure that a bridge can work against both the weight of the cars pushing down on it as well as the impact of the gravitational constant's pull down is one of the, understandably, more essential aspects of bridge construction.

8. Boltzmann's Constant: 1.380650 x 10^23 joule per kelvin

The Boltzmann constant is a fundamental constant of physics that occurs in nearly every statistical formulation in classical and quantum physics.

Application: Boltzman constant explains why ice cubes melt in warm water, but are not spontaneously created in tepid water, among other uses.


9. Imaginary Unit: i

"i" equals the square root of -1, which means that i squared is equal to -1.

Application: Negative numbers don't have square roots. Math had advanced to the point where saying "there is no square root of negative numbers" was holding back a lot of progress.

Solutions of some polynomials have both real solutions that we could use in real life as well as solutions that involved the square root of a negative number, which can be discarded.


10. Euler's Identity: e^(i*pi) = -1

Euler's identity ties a lot of things together. For one thing, we know from trigonometry that eix = cosine(x) - i * sine(x) because of the infinite series that describe sine, cosine, and e.

When you plug in pi for x, sine(pi) = 0 and cosine(pi) = -1.

This formula is particularly elegant because it involves the most famous constants in math as well as 1, zero, and 1.

Application: What this conceptually describes is walking along the edge of a unit circle in the complex plane, half way around. Until the real value is -1.

i have rejected him everyway possible. am even scared for my life now.

You just registered today abi. Ok

Strange. I boarded an airline from Tarkoradi to Accra few weeks ago. A woman was allowed to board without any issue. Even the woman was assisted by the crew.


Well, anything that has to do with Nigeria is usually treated harshly. When is Nigeria getting her lost glory back?

■Says strange man in dreams convinced him to do so

In Nigeria, particularly among the Yoruba tribe where religious tolerance is most noticed, it is a regular occur­rence to see muslims convert to Christianity. Hardly do we see a Christian turn to Islam. However, a man, former Pastor Adekunle Afolabi, founder and leader of Apata Adu­ra Cherubim and Seraphim Church, Ekute, Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State, broke that jinx recently. He converted fully to Islam after practising Christianity for over 25 years and even ris­en to become the General Overseer of his church, which have branches across Ekiti State.

Now known and addressed as Alfa Abubakar Afolabi, the 45-year-old man attributed his conversion to a divine encounter he had with a strange man in white in his dreams who showed him certain flaws in Christianity and convinced him that indeed Islam is the only religion that leads to heaven.

In this interview with WOLE BALOGUN at his Ekute, Ado Ekiti residence, Alfa Abubakar spoke extensively on his experience. Excerpts:

How did your journey to Islam begin?
I am former Pastor Adekunle Afolabi, General Overseer and founder of Apata Adura Cherubim and Seraphim in Ekute, Ado-Ekiti, I have been a believer in Christianity for 25 years. I have been tutored at the Deeper Life Bible Church school in Ayobo, Lagos and my parents were attending the Assemblies of God Church. I later left the church to set up a C &S church where I became a Shepherd because God always reveals things to me either by vision or by dreams and to be candid, God re­veals things to me and when God wants to make a confirmation of them, they always come to pass.

The spiritual gift has enhanced my career as a cleric in Christianity such that my church grew so fast that by the time we were celebrating fifth anniversary, the church has had branches across the state and over 150 members attended my headquarters in Ekute alone. I have also become the state chair­man of the association of our church unification in Ado.

I was preparing for the anniversary when I started hav­ing dreams that eventually led to my conversion. At first in the dreams, I noticed my members were sitting on the floor in the church and some of them were covering their heads. I also saw that people were washing their hands and feet before entering the church just like it is done in Islam.

In my canal thinking, I thought God wanted us to be wash­ing our hands and feet before entering the church and I instruct­ed my members to be doing so, some did, while others didn’t.

I remembered when I was living in Ikere, around 1986, I used to attend a church then called the Church of Iya Olomi (Woman of holy water) in Ikere. There was an earthen pot in the church where we washed our legs before attending the church so I was thinking that may be that is what God wanted me to do. I went to buy an earthen pot in Ijebu and put it at the back of the church but something strange happened the day I did that, a heavy rain fell and erosion poured sand into the earthen pot that was filled with water and all the perfume and spiritual arrange­ment I put inside the water was spoilt. Then, I went to clean the pot and put another clean water again. To my surprise, when I was coming home I met little children at the earthen pot fetch­ing water from it like a well. So, to avoid trouble in the neigh­bourhood, I dug out the earthen pot and made up my mind that it seems God is against what am doing.

In another of my dream, I saw women in Hijab in the church, so on one Sunday I informed my congregation that at the forth­coming anniversary, all women should come with hijab. Only 10 people adhered to the instruction during that period but I was yet to be converted.

After that, certain strange things began to happen in my dreams, I would notice that someone comes to me, wakes me up and then take me on a journey to somewhere, there the man will ask a question: he said do I know if the way I was taking in life is the right one?,I told him, yes since I do pray to God and he answers me. But he asked me again that what makes me believe I was right and I told him that since I can pray to God and he answers me. He asked me again that do I believe that God could write Quran in Arabic to people for them to know his teachings, I said to him I don’t know but knew that some people use Arabic as language. He then called my attention to my left hand, there he told me to open my palm which I did and he asked if I knew that the first line in my left hand stands for eight and the second stands for one which go for 81. He added that on my right hand, the first line stands for one in Arabic and the other stands for eight and that if these are added together, they are equal to 99 which stands for the ninety nine names of Allah. He said this means that Allah wrote his name on the palms of all human beings in Arabic.

I was baffled because I never had any knowledge in the Quran, so I decided to go and research on it. It got to a point that my wife and I started attending the mosque together and one day, an alhaji around my neighbourhood saw me coming out of the mosque, he was so surprised and challenged me and I told him everything that occurred to me which led me to the mosque. He told me that I must not keep this to myself so he advised me to keep walking in God’s way in Islam and stop preaching in the church but call on Imam or alfa to come and preach.

Eventually, I ended up inviting an Imam, a muslim cleric to preach in my church during our fifth anniversary last year. The church members were surprised as the Imam preached.

After the anniversary, the same man came to me in my dreams and tasked me on payment of tithe in my church, saying I should stop collecting it. So, the next Sunday I stopped collecting tithes from the congregation.

Of course, the church members were not all happy, some went to another church because they can’t continue with this type of doctrine and that was how the number of the congregation con­tinued to reduce day after day.

I nearly got fed up, but I made up my mind that I won’t go back on my decision and religion and when it got to January end­ing, I made up my mind fully to convert to Islam.

As a prophet in C and S, you would be doing some spiritual work for people, now that you are now in Islam, do you still do the works?

Rendering spiritual help is given to all men by God for their own use, so the wisdom of it is given to me by God, he didn’t take it away from me because that is different from religion. It is a way of livelihood so, if any one falls sick, wants to give birth, is having stillbirth, stagnation at work, that is all what we use that for. He showed me places in the Bible where many prayed to God in Islamic way. By this praying, I mean to kneel down and bow down your head and face down.

How have your wife, relatives, friends and in-laws reacted to your newfound faith?

They have always known me to be truthful with whatever I’m doing and they respect me for that and also respect my decision, so there hasn’t been any cause for alarm.

The only person who at a time opposed it was my wife be­cause she was a Christian when I married her. She said she would quit the marriage and I said it is okay and that I don’t want to die a Christian but would rather die a Muslim. But after a while, she discovered that we haven’t been worshipping any idol, that we have always been worshipping God. She came back and ac­cepted me this way. Also, my children are supporting me and have joined me.

What about those who were your colleagues when you were in Christianity as a church leader?

They all left me the day I invited an Imam to come and preach in my church. That day of our anniversary. I have also been re­lieved of my position as president of our association. The only thing the pastors do once in a while is to call to ask me if indeed I still want to continue in the new faith and I usually confirm it. As for friends, some have stayed while others have left.

Have you now become a leader in Islamic faith?

No, I am still learning to be deeper in Islam. I had over 150 members in the church before but they have all left now. My church before has now been converted to a mosque and it is be­ing attended by many muslims now that I cannot even count them. An Imam is currently running the mosque while I am also there as an Alfa, learning more about the religion.

How many wives have you now?

The Bible does not oppose marrying more than one wife. It says if you want to marry another wife, you must ensure that you treat her the same way you are treating the ones or one you have already married. The Bible only says that for those who want to become Bishops, they should marry only one.

Now you have only one wife, is it likely that you will marry another wife?

No. I have married some women before. Now, I cannot marry another woman.That is not in my plans. My first born is about 22 years old.

You know that there is this common opinion that religion does not really matter, whether you are a Christian, Muslim or traditionalist, your relation­ship with God matters most in getting to heaven, what is your view on this saying?

All I can say is that anyone who wants to go to heaven should just accept Islam peacefully. Islam to me now, is the only way to God. No other way.

You have spoken against collecting tithes, and said you have stopped collecting tithes from your members, are you concerned that you may not get money to run the mosque since that is a major way to get money?

All I can say about that is that God’s words advise that when we have, we should be grateful and also when we do not. Before I stopped collecting tithes, I have members who usually give me about N20 000 or N10 000 but I still have to stop collecting it in obedience to God. Now, I don’t collect tithe from anyone but Islam permits people to do saka, which is just a voluntary attitude to contribute to someone’s or an alfa’ or just extend mercy or what we call Sadaka

MrBully:
Have u touched them?

YES . Runs out of thread=========>

MrBully:
Are your n1pples really soft, honey? Just want to know

Yes very soft

Ride on Baba at the same time, watch your back. Global politics is different from Nigeria's political child's play.

Police performed jungle justice. Mob carried out jungle justice. Everyone lives in the jungle.

Another wahala thread.

This is serious. This will never happen to us in this new dispensation

So? My child can draw Herbert Macaulay

Where is this?

The fulish are still licking their wounds. Sorry ehn. Buhari is your president for next four years.

RHP:
The statement is self explanatory!

could you please explain my friend.

Who can help to decipher and decimate this statement.
