Wooow!!! Nice one, I didn't know this, I only know of it been used for toothache

Many people watchn there weight adapt to the first on the list.

We'll Insist That Our Daughters Be Sent To School And Not To Infant Marriages.

Education is the bedrock of every society and the education of the girl child is as important as that of her male counterpart.

We therefore are surprised that Nigeria's Senate didn't consider making it mandatory for every girl child below 18 to be in school. Instead, they gave a legislative seal of approval for the marriage of underage girls. That means even a 5 year old toddler could be married off by her parents.

Nigerians of all tribes and religions have rejected this, and therefore undertake to stand against the state-sanctioned abuse of the girl child. By today, Saturday, 20th July, 2013, we'll be signing a petition that'll be forwarded to the National Assembly, Abuja.

If you are in Abuja, the venue is: Unity Fountain, by Transcorp Hilton. Also the Park. Time is: 9am-12noon.

For those in Lagos, the venues are: 1. Ojeez Restaurant, National Stadium Surulere. 2. Alausa Park, Opposite Lagos State Governor's Office, Ikeja. 3. The Palms Shopping Mall, Lekki 4. New African Shrine, Agidingbi, Ikeja. 5. Arrangements are still on-going for those in Festac Town and it's environs.

Time is 9am-12noon.

We also ask you to volunteer your time to help us take petitions to churches and mosques for signing. We need to gather as many signatures as we can push for within just 2 days. Millions of them, if we can, will speak more than mere thousands. And if the millions are in their tens, the better.

We will save the girl child. She's a #ChildNotBride.

Well, personally, I think examination, and the idea of school is just for orderliness and above all, group the society into different sections for orderliness, some doctors, accountants, lawyers and what have you. However what I will personally suggest is that exam should not be use as the highest term in judging a student's performance. This style is common in western world, exam should carry as low as 40% of the total. Others stuffs like group work, experiments, group works, other activities, should be used in judging performance

Adam and Eve
Contrary to popular belief, Adam and
Eve were expelled from Eden not
because they ate the forbidden fruit of
the tree of knowledge of good and
evil, but in order to prevent them from
eating from the tree of life (both
forbidden trees are in Genesis 2:9)
which would have made them eternal.
God doesn’t like competition! Here is
the verse ( Genesis 3:22-23): “And he
said: Behold Adam is become as one
of us, knowing good and evil: now,
therefore, lest perhaps he put forth
his hand, and take also of the tree of
life, and eat, and live for ever. [23]
And the Lord God sent him out of the
paradise of pleasure, to till the earth
from which he was taken.”

Jonah and the Whale
We all know the tale of Jonah and the
whale… but how well do we know it?
Well enough to know that he wasn’t
eaten by a whale? It was no mammal
that ate Jonah – it was a huge fish –
though its type is not mentioned. Of
course, I am presuming that everyone
reading this list knows that a whale is
not a fish.
8
Samson and Delilah
Samson and Delilah is a famous story
from the Old Testament which ends
rather badly, as Samson’s long hair is
cut short to destroy his strength. The
common misconception is that Delilah
was the one to give him the chop – a
kind of ancient bobbit if you will. But
in fact, it was Delilah’s servant who
did it.
7
Rapture
The “Rapture” is not in the Bible!
Despite being believed by a large
number of protestants (many of whom
also believe that only that which is in
the Bible can be true) it was actually
invented in the 1600s by one Cotton
Mather – otherwise famous for
murdering women by strangling them
to death (by hanging) in the Salem
witch trials. The term in the Bible
commonly mistranslated to the word
“rapture” actually comes from the
Greek ἁρπάζω (harpazo) which
actually means “caught up” or “taken
away” and it refers to one person only
(Philip).
6
Three Wise Men
There weren’t three and they didn’t
visit Jesus in a manger. The Bible
gives neither the number of men (but
does the number of gifts as three,
which is probably where this
misconception stems from).
Additionally, Herod demanded the
death of all boys under two, making it
probable that Christ had been born up
to two years prior. Also, the wise men
visited Jesus when he lived in a house
according to the Biblical account in
Matthew 2:11.
5
Get Rich Quick
The Bible does not condemn drinking
alcohol (remember that Jesus’ first
public miracle was turning water into
wine at a wedding party), or gambling
and betting. The closest it comes to
the latter is to recommend against get
rich quick schemes (Ecclesiastes 5:10)
and loving money excessively. Be sure
to remember that next time you are
sipping your wine at the local casino.
Addendum: “The Bible does NOT
condemn the drinking of alcohol – that
misconception is a holdover from
Calvinistic and Purtanical
Prtotestantism – which worked its way
into Methodism etc; What the Bible
DOES say is “Be not DRUNK of the
fruit of the vine” – at the same time
many gainsayers will claim that the
water was turned into grape juice –
but the original Gospels clearly use a
word which translates from the
original Greek as WINE a “fermented
grape beverage”. [addendum courtesy
of carra 23]. Traditionally drunk
means “falling down drunk” – in other
words, the loss of the will to control
oneself.
4
Help
“God helps those who help
themselves” – a wise and good quote
that everyone knows is from the Bible.
But, in fact, it isn’t. It was a man, not
a god who coined the well known
(and overused) proverb. It was
Benjamin Franklin in his Poor
Richard’s almanac.
3
Brother’s Keeper
Another quote we all know from the
Bible is “Am I my brother’s keeper?”
Now ask yourself – do you know what
God’s answer was to this question?
You don’t – no one does because the
Bible doesn’t tell us what He replied.
If God were to have answered, we can
presume it would have been in the
affirmative if all of the other
commands to look after our brothers
in the New Testament are taken into
consideration.

Christmas Travel
The Virgin Mary is not described in the
Bible as having travelled to
Bethlehem on a donkey. No mention
is made at all in the gospels of the
mode of transport used in the
journey. The first mention of her
riding a donkey comes from the non-
Biblical Protoevangelium of James
which you can read here. It was
written around 150AD and is also one
of the oldest works to describe Mary
as a virgin both before and after the
birth of Christ. The exact quote from
the Protoevangelium is “And he
[Joseph] saddled the ass, and set her
upon it;”
1
Horned Moses
This has been mentioned in passing in
comments on previous lists but it
definitely warrants a mention here.
Unlike most of the misconceptions
here which deal specifically with what
the Bible says or doesn’t say, this one
is a misconception about the
translation of part of it. The Old
Testament refers to Moses as having
horns on his head after he went up
the mountain to see God. This
prompted Michaelangelo to sculpt him
with the horns. Many people believe
that this was due to a mistranslation
of the description of Moses but, in
fact, it isn’t. Moses really is described
as being horned. And the reason for
this? In Old Testament times, a
person who was believed to have
seen or been touched by God was
described as having horns (or rays of
light) coming from their head. It was
an ancient symbol much like today’s
gloriole.
