Quakertellicus1:
Again...they were kidnapped from a boarding school....so naturally some of them would have had phones.WAEC does not allow you bring your phones into the exam hall during the exam....note EXAM HALL. WAEC has nothing to say about your bedroom, or other parts of the school so long as it isn't the actual exam hall.

Also....they were kidnapped at night from their beds...so some of them would have had the presence of mind to grab their phones.

Again, as has been said earlier....many of the numbers might have been re-allocated since...so it may not be the girls calling.
What exactly is your point? Agreed all lines were registered after their kidnap. You and I know none of them would have that opportunity to register their original line, that's if they went with their phone in the first place. Because I know the boko haram boys would have seized every possession they had. As you rightly said that the phone lines may have been allocated to other people, how did those people know that the original owners of the lines are the chibok girls? How did they get the phone lines of their respective parents? How come the call came at the same time? How come the same response was received when the calls were returned? No sentiment, chibok kidnap was a scam!

What type of recognition is the prophet seeking? Can you elaborate? What actions make him feel he isn't acknowledged?
Very seriously, that's my interpretation of what he told me. I was with them and in a little while the wife left. It was obvious that there was a quarrel. I never asked what happened but the man just told me all women are the same. They will answer yes sir to someone who is not up to their husbands in the office and will not accord there husband same. At least you can give it your own interpretation. Though I never asked him what the problem was.

It looks more like a prophet not been regarded by his people but his people regarding lesser prophet abroad.

I am guilty of this too. It only makes feel concern when I saw it happen between my friend and his wife. I really don't know the cause of their quarrel. But my friend simply said all women are the same. They answer 'yes sir' to a man who is not up to their husbands in the office yet they find it difficult to accord their husbands such honour. Although my friend is a big oga in the company I work for. Friends I want your honest opinion.

Christianity EtcWas This Pastor Right? by ascek(op): 11:07am On Nov 15, 2015
A Pastor in my area has just been left by his wife for reasons best known to them . She has been having an affair and has now moved in with the other man and wants a divorce. The pastor intends to continue pastoring but it is felt that some people will leave that church as they don't agree with a divorcee being a minister. Are they right to leave because of this? After all he isn't the one committing adultery and would take her back if she asked to return. What would the scriptural view on this be?

PoliticsBuhari, Johnathan Meet Behind Close Doors. by ascek(op): 4:30pm On Nov 02, 2015
Ex-president Goodluck Jonathan on November 2 has
paid a visit to the incumbent President Muhammadu
Buhari at the presidential villa in Abuja.

Goodluck Jonathan and Muhammadu Buhari. The meeting that continued for just five minutes was
held behind the closed doors at the New Banquet Hall of
the Aso Rocl villa.
Jonathan arrived the State House at accurately 2.00pm in a black Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV).

On his arrival, ex-president headed straight for the New
Banquet Hall of the villa.

Former leader of the nation was seen off the place of
the meeting with President Buhari at 2.07pm.
He left the presidential villa without talking to the
reporters.

It was the second time former president would be
visiting Buhari since the latter was inaugurated into
office on May 29.

Jonathan had paid a private visit to President Buhari at
his official residence on August 6.
Goodluck Jonathan has earned the dubious distinction
of being the first president in Nigerian history to lose an
election. In many ways, Jonathan was the architect of
his own downfall. He made critical mistakes that turned
the public and allies against him, and led them to
gravitate towards the opposition.

Christianity EtcAribisala Is At It Again by ascek(op): 7:05am On Sep 27, 2015
According to Jesus, many of the so-called churches today
that are large and famous are actually spiritually dead.
In many churches today, pastors are preoccupied with the
size of their congregation. Some take a census every
church-service. Others keep statistics of the number of
people who answer their altar-calls. When pastors meet
socially, how big their church is determines their social
status and prestige; ensuring that many are prone to
exaggerate their numbers. The bigger the church, the more
highfalutin and celebrated the pastor.
However, the wisdom of God is contrarian, she shouts in
the street; she lifts her voice in the public square: “No king
is saved by the multitude of an army; a mighty man is not
delivered by great strength. A horse is a vain hope for
safety; neither shall it deliver any by its great
strength.” (Psalm 33:16-17).
Let me apply this scripture more precisely to the context of
mega-churches. No man is saved by the size of a church,
neither is the wicked delivered by the great charisma of a
pastor. When we are preoccupied with size in churches, we
are guilty of trusting in the multitude of our mighty men.
(Hosea 10:13).
First become last
“This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might
nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ says the LORD of hosts.
Who are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you
shall become a plain!’” (Zechariah 4:6-7).
One of the great mountains before Zerubbabel was
Solomon’s temple. Those charged with rebuilding it were
concerned the new temple would not have the splendor and
majesty of the old. But God is not concerned with size and
other physical attributes. Through Haggai, he declares: “The
glory of this latter temple shall be greater than the
former.” (Haggai 2:9). Accordingly, Zechariah asks: “Who
has despised the day of small things.” (Zechariah 4:10).
Indeed, according to God’s kingdom dynamics, “every
valley shall be exalted and every mountain and hill brought
low.” (Isaiah 40:4). God says: “All the trees of the field will
know that I, Yahweh, have brought down the high tree, have
exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and have
made the dry tree flourish.” (Ezekiel 17:24).
This indicates in the day of the Lord, we are likely to
discover that the big church is small in the sight of the Lord
and the small church is big. Before Zerubbabel, even the
great mountain of Solomon’s temple becomes a plain.
Preference for small things
In the kingdom of God, good things come in small
congregations. Jesus says: “Where two or three are
gathered together in my name, there I am in their
midst.” (Matthew 18:20). In effect, we don’t need to be in
the thousands and tens of thousands in order to feel the
presence of God. But because Jesus says where two or
three are gathered, and not where at least two or three are
gathered, he is actually expressing a preference for small
gatherings.
According to Jesus, the appropriate size of a church is not
“mega” or “big,” but “little.” Thus, he reassures the small
congregation: “Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father’s
good pleasure to give you the kingdom.” (Luke 12:32). It is
the “little flock” and not the big flock that the Father has
decided to give the kingdom. Mega-church pastors are akin
to the Israel of old: “Israel has forgotten his maker, and
builds temples.” (Hosea 8:14).
As a matter of fact, the large size of a church is eloquent
testimony of spiritual deficiency. Jesus says: “wide is the
gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and
many there are who go in through it. Because narrow is the
gate and constricted is the way which leads to life, and
there are few who find it.” (Matthew 7:13).
It is the stone the builders reject that becomes the
headstone. (Psalm 118:22). This prophecy is bad news for
mega-church pastors because they are currently the
accepted stones. Indeed, according to Jesus, “the first will
become last and the last first.” (Mark 30:31). This means
today’s “first-class” pastors will ultimately turn out to be
“last-class.”
Few are chosen
Because the gospel is naturally unattractive to the large
flock, Jesus says: “Many are called, but few are
chosen.” (Matthew 22:14). Therefore, numerical church-
growth is an unrealistic index of success in ministry. When
we are focused on the numbers game, we become
ashamed of the words of Jesus, and readily sacrifice his
doctrine on the altar of attracting a large following.
Indeed, God is contemptuous of size; he prefers the mini to
the mega. He says: “Woe to the multitude of many people
who make a noise like the roar of the seas, and to the
rushing of nations that make a rushing like the rushing of
mighty waters! The nations will rush like the rushing of
many waters; but God will rebuke them and they will flee far
away, and be chased like the chaff of the mountains before
the wind, like a rolling thing before the whirlwind.” (Isaiah
17:12-14).
David got into trouble with God because of his
preoccupation with numbers. When pride moved him to
conduct a census in Israel in order to determine the size of
his kingdom, God responded by decimating it with
pestilence, killing seventy thousand men. (2 Samuel
24:1-15). Jesus himself was not the product of a big church
but of little Bethlehem Ephrathah. (Micah 5:2).
Fake pastors: dead churches
Speaking to his disciples, Jesus provides this simple
kingdom dynamic as their mark of distinction: “If you were
of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you
are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world,
therefore the world hates you.” (John 15:19).
Therefore, the very fact that the world loves mega-pastors
indicates there is something wrong with them. If something
is very popular, it is not of God. The evil spiritual “ruler of
this world” will not allow what is godly to be well-liked.
Therefore, Jesus says: “Woe to you when all men speak
well of you, for so did their fathers to the false
prophets.” (Luke 6:26). Mega-pastors are in trouble with
the Lord because all men love them.
The people of this world do not like the doctrine of Jesus.
Neither do mega-pastors otherwise they would be mini. If
the general public like what a pastor preaches, it is a sure
sign it is not of God. God and men hardly ever see eye to
eye. Jesus says: “That which is highly esteemed among
men is abomination in the sight of God.” (Luke 16:15).
This shows the true Church of Christ is inevitably anathema
to the world. Jesus insists his kingdom is not of this world.
(John 18:36). Therefore, his Church cannot be worldly;
neither will his disciples preach the world in order to attract
a crowd.
According to Jesus, many of the so-called churches today
that are large and famous are actually spiritually dead. He
declares: “To the angel of the church in Sardis write, ‘These
things says he who has the seven Spirits of God and the
seven stars: ‘I know your works, that you have a name that
you are alive, but you are dead.’” (Revelation 3:1).
