Very good. Ministry of Transport includes the old Transport ministry and the Aviation ministry previously headed by Stella Oduah.

I'm sure Amaechi will perform very well

I have been thinking about this for a while. The British observe Remembrance day, Americans observe veteran and memorial day, the French and others observe armistice day.

Why can't we have a day in Nigeria to observe our fallen heroes, people who fought for our independence, the soldiers and civilians who lost thier lives during the civil war (both on Nigerian and Biafran sides), people brutally killed fighting for democracy during the military era. The list goes on.

If we are serious about building a united nation, we should remember and pay our respect to these ones. Just my thought.

So because he is visiting his constituency, they have to hire a DJ

I thought they gave FG one week ultimatum last month

Or is the ultimatum now on a monthly basis

Winner

Nigeria 5 times champion

Can someone explain why the SE tenaciously supported GEJ during the last election, other than he is ‘our brother’. What exactly did he do for the SE region to deserve their block support and votes?

The SE has doggedly and overwhelmingly voted for PDP at federal, state and local government levels over the past 16 years. All we can see are bad roads destroyed by erosion and flood, and the 2nd Niger Bridge built on paper and political appointments that has no impact on the common man on the street.

Until we remove the veil of ethnic and religious bigotry from our eyes and start holding our leaders responsible irrespective of their tribes or political affliation, we will not see any meaningful development in Nigeria.

Some people will die of high blood pressure hearing this news

Cement based roads are much more durable than asphalt roads. However, they are very harsh on tyres and cause them to wear out quickly.

The move will save the government money in the long term, but will cost the road users more in the short term.

Who should be the Manager of the Month..

1........Invincibles15/16 2........dreamteamfc 3........FC Wailing Wailers

I'm glad I've won the manager of the month. This award shows the hardwork and dedication of my players and the supporters. I want to thank all my players for giving their best on the pitch and to the fans for giving us their support. I dedicate this award to them

Very good development. Our economy will witness a huge growth when we reduce our over-dependence on importation and start manufacturing our products locally. More jobs will be created and the value of our currency will appreciate.

Nice one from Mr President. That is why they say 'Slow and Steady wins the race'

KINGSAMURAI:
so u mean he shud learn hw to cook nd b cooking 4 his wife, plus providing money 4 school fees and others irrespective that he comes home4rm d office late in the evening?

So the husband cannot cook when he comes back from work, but he expects the wife to cook for him when she comes back from work. If the wife works and brings in some money to help the family, the husband should also help with some of the housework. It's also not an excuse for the woman to be lazy, she should try cook and not buy food all the time.

My wife cooks for me most of the time, but there are days she's very tired or she finished late from work. I would do the cooking for her and even put our daughter to bed. My wife is not my slave.

The NIV Controversy:

HERE IS AN OFFICIAL RESPONSE FROM NIV BIBLE PUBLISHERS. Hope it will receive same spread like the controversial piece.

Dear Samuel,
Thank you for checking on this before forwarding such false and misleading statements. It is good to see a Christian who uses their mind before simply believing such nonsense.

These statements are false and silly and promoted either by those who don't know any better or who are intentionally trying to mislead. They have been promoted by some people for the last 40 years or so, but were refuted by good conservative scholars from the very beginning.

First, the NIV does not remove ANY verses. Instead, like all good Bible translations, the NIV omits statements that were added later and WERE NOT PART OF THE ORIGINAL TEXT. When the KJV was translated, the translators had only a few manuscripts of the New Testament available to them and these were very late (mostly from the Middle Ages). We now have hundreds of earlier and more reliable manuscripts. Scholars today recognize that we have a Greek text today that is much closer to the original than the KJV translators had available to them. So all modern versions (except the NKJV) use these older manuscripts. Even the NKJV puts the better readings in the footnotes (look for the abbreviation NU, which refers to the earlier and better manuscripts).

Remember that the original books of the Bible had no chapter or verse divisions. These were added later. So to say that there are "verses" missing is wrong. What are "missing" are phrases or sentences that were added by later scribes and were not part of the original text. The NIV, like all modern versions, seeks to preserve what was originally there. Read the Preface to the NIV and some of this is explained.

As far as the homosexual statement is concerned, this is simply false. None of the translators of the NIV were homosexuals (or Satanists!). All were conservative evangelical Christians fully committed to the inspiration and inerrancy of the text. For the names of the present and past committee members, see
http://www.bible-researcher.com/niv-translators.html
Just check passages on homosexuality in the NIV and you will see that the NIV is not "soft" on homosexuality. Here are the main passages:

Lev. 18:22 “ ‘Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable.
Lev. 20:13 “ ‘If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.
Rom. 1:26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.

1Cor. 6:9 Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men 10 nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
1Tim. 1:9 We also know that the law is made not for the righteous but for lawbreakers and rebels, the ungodly and sinful, the unholy and irreligious, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers, 10 for the sexually immoral, for those practicing homosexuality, for slave traders and liars and perjurers—and for whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine

So you see, these accusations are false and slanderous. It is a shame that many Christians are out to attack others rather than to promote the good news.
Thanks again for your question.

Blessings,
Mark Strauss

Finally a world class keeper

Come on Gunners!!!

Petr Cech has agreed to join Arsenal from Chelsea on a long-term contract for an undisclosed fee.
The 33-year-old goalkeeper made over 400 appearances during 11 years at Stamford Bridge, winning multiple club and personal honours. He also won the Premier League Golden Glove award on three occasions.


A seven-time Czech Footballer of the Year, Cech made his international debut in 2002. He currently has 114 caps for his country - four short of countryman Karel Poborsky’s all-time record.

Cech began his career in the Czech Republic with Chmel Blsany, before moving to Sparta Prague. He joined Rennes in France in 2002, before arriving in the Premier League with Chelsea in 2004.

Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger said: “Petr Cech is a player that I have admired for a long time and I am very pleased that he has decided to join us. He has proven over many seasons that he is one of the outstanding keepers in the world and he will add great strength to our squad.”

New signing Cech said: “I’m really excited about joining Arsenal Football Club and can't wait to join up for pre-season. I have the same commitment to football, the same motivation and the same hunger for success as I had at the beginning of my career, and I love the challenges brought by the top quality players you face while playing in the Premier League. When Arsène Wenger spoke to me about his ambitions for this club, and how he saw me as part of this team, the decision was clear.”

Cech has completed his medical and will join up with his new team-mates shortly to begin preparations for the 2015/16 season.

Cech’s Arsenal squad number will be revealed soon through Arsenal’s official Instagram account.

Everyone at Arsenal would like to welcome Petr to the Club.

The transfer is subject to the completion of regulatory processes.

This is one of the statement that stood out in the speech

No matter what Okonjo Iweala has to say to defend this reckless admistration, it's going to be hard for her to come out untarnished. To me, her reputation and integity has been destroyed by the degree of corruption and mismanagent of this goverment.
