THE POSITIONS ARE AT ABUJA

There are marketing position for marketers with HND ,MALE,AGED 29 AND BELOW, KINDLY INDICATE YOUR INTEREST.

Some years ago, I was travelling home via Malaga Airport, Spain. A security officer asked me to place my watch in the tray to be x-rayed. I said that my watch had never triggered the alarm but she insisted that it was standard policy at Malaga to remove the watch.

I placed my watch on top of the tray, and the security officer then engaged me in conversation, asking where I had been and what kind of work I do.

When I reached the other side of the x-ray machine, my watch had gone.

When I told the person scanning the tray contents he claimed that there had been no watch. I asked him to scroll back through his film to my tray. He scrolled back to someone else’s and said ‘there is no watch.’ I protested that this was not my tray on screen. He said it was, and if was unhappy I should speak to the airport police.

I went to the airport police office and a guy looking like Coolhand Luke emerged, cigarette in mouth, shades, and hand on pistol.

He went back to the security gate with me and said ‘This gentleman says his watch has been taken from his tray.’ The security guy said ‘There was no watch.’ The policeman said ‘There was no watch, now go and get your flight. The more I protested, the more firmly he gripped his gun. I don’t like to argue with a man with a gun.

When I arrived home, an internet search revealed that this scam was (at that time) common at Malaga Airport.

That pilot’s lingo -

George: Autopilot e.g. “I'll let George take over, I gonna take a nap.” )

Blue juice: toilet or lavatory water. So if a mischievous flight attendant offers you a blue juice cocktail, then don’t fall for it. )

Pax: Passengers.

Deadheading: When an airline employee flies free of charge as a passenger for company business, because they are currently in the wrong city for their next scheduled flight. Just the way United did recently by kicking 4 passengers out of the plane to accommodate their deadheading crew.

Two-for-once special: The plane touches down on landing, bounces up, then touches down again. Bumpy landing )

Crotch watch / Groin scan: The required check to make sure all passengers have their seat belts fastened.

Time to dangle the Dunlops: Put the landing gear down

Tarmac: Paved areas at airports. (short for Tarmacadam, or tarpenetration macadam named for John Loudon McAdam who invented an effective and economical road construction method in the early 1800's based on crushed rock. Although nobody use it now for airports, the slang just persisted for years until now.)

Apron: The section of the tarmac that is not a runway or taxiway; this is whether planes park or are serviced.

Contrail: Short for Condensation trails, these are the long, thin clouds that form behind aircraft; most often triggered by the water vapor in engine exhaust.

So, keep calm (!) and enjoy your flight…

Somethings that pilots won’t tell you…
Of course they can do this stunt when the plane is parked on the ground )

That there are no parachutes or ejection seats available for pilots in the cockpit like in fighter jets. ( Although they know the plane is going to crash soon, they won’t simply abandon you alone in the back. They will fight till their last breath using best of their experience and skills . (Respect!).

That pilots are kept constantly under pressure by airliners to carry less fuel than they are comfortable with. For obvious business reason - the plane burns more fuel to carry more fuel and costs more! But in case of worst weather at destination, they cannot stay long in the air, and have to land nearby alternative airports. As this happens rarely, so airlines take a chance.
That there is no such thing as “Water landing”! It is known as “crashing into the ocean” or more formally “ditching”
That pilots dims the interior lights while take-off or landing, so your eyes should get used to darkness outside in case of emergency evacuation.

That pilots tell you or Flight Attendants (FA) to put up the window shades while take-off or landing. So that the FAs can see outside in an emergency, to assess which side is better for an evacuation. It also lets light into the cabin if it goes dark and helps passengers get oriented if the plane flips or rolls over.

That one of the engines just failed. They will just say we have some blah blah technical issue and we need to land nearby airport. A plane can be landed with only one engine, before passengers or even FAs notice it. Unless it is on fire or smoking!

That they didn’t sleep properly or, the break between two flights was not enough or sufficient for refreshment. They will put a smile on their face so passengers and FAs feel comfortable and confident about flight.

That morning flights are smoother (attention passengers having flight phobia!) than in the afternoons or later. Because latter causes bumpier air and thunderstorms occur mostly in the afternoon.
That if they tell Flight Attendants to sit down, then assume that there is serious turbulence ahead.
That smoothest seat to avoid bumps is the seat over or near the wing. Just imagine a plane like a giant seesaw. The bumpiest is of course the seat at the back.

That a plane moves on to active runway by mistake - 1000 times a year! WTF…
That your coffee is made from the same water that comes from the same potable water holding tank that supplies water to the bathroom sink and contain bacteria 100 time more than standard limits.

That some pilots (being human just like you and me) get distracted by their laptops and cellphones in cockpit during flight e.g. in Oct. 2009 two pilots busy with their laptops flew past their destination by 110 miles! Hurray!!!
That pilots don’t wear their hats in the cockpit. Gotcha )
That pilots spends a quarter million on their education and training

Then I traveled abroad for the first time, I was going to Egypt.

After I landed in Cairo Airport, the immigration officer asked me ‘Is it your first time traveling abroad’ (looking at the only visa in my passport).

I said, ‘Yes’.

After 2 minutes, she said, please wait in the waiting area.

I kept waiting for 2 hours and gradually she left. Now, I was the only person in the entire terminal building apart from a sweeper who was cleaning the terminal.

After half an hour (2.5 hours of waiting), the sweeper comes to me and asks ‘Passport, passport?’.

I said ‘Yes, I have been waiting for 2.5 hours’.

He said ‘Come to me’. (took me to to the men’s toilet)

He says ‘100 Dollars’.

For one moment, I was shocked. Looking at how corrupt the system was.

I had 1000 thought in my mind.

But I thought it’s better to be practical.

I started bargaining.

Back then, 1 USD was equal to 6 Egyptian Pounds i.e. 100 USD = 600 EGP.

So, I started bargaining and we settled down at 30 Egyptian Pounds. (Yes! I did a lot of drama)

Then, he agreed and said ‘Wait for me. I will tell you when you have to come to me’

In the mean time, he got me my luggage since it was the only bag on the luggage belt and the entire terminal was empty.

After 15 minutes, he was standing at the immigration counter and created a sound to call me near him, holding my passport in his hand.

Well, I don’t know what came to my mind.

But, suddenly, instead of taking out money from my wallet, I started walking towards him.

By the time I reached the counter, he opened the gate.

I start to find the visa page.

AND SUDDENLY, I RAN LIKE IT WAS THE LAST MOMENT OF MY LIFE.

That was the fastest I have ever run.

Hello house, this is my first post and I have just once question regarding the €8,000 deposit.


Is this a one time deposit (required only when seeking visa) or are you required to replenish it every year while in Germany?

Someone told me that they monitor the account through out your studies and you're meant to top it up every year. If you don't top it up, what happens?

you top it up every year but if u re astute in spending u shud have abt 3k euros savings,

analice107:
See? You are the one being incoherent here. Or maybe you don't know what that word means.

My point is, Demons at the command, 'just command, of Jesus left and entered swine. But the issue here is the method Your Angel Raphael employed to deal with demons which is strange.

Have you ever watched a Catholic exorcism? The burning of incense and all is gotten from no where else but from the Myth of Angel Raphael.

And, don't quote me any further, what you believe is none of my business.

burning of incense in catholic exorcism...loooool........my stomach oooo
are you omniscience to know that asmodeus is scared of a particular fish gall
why is d devil scared of the cross?
madam...e don do...abeg?

analice107:
Na demons run entered herds of Pigs, what happened to the pigs afterwards? And how did Jesus deal with those demons, did he burn some fish Gall bladder, heart and liver for those demons to smell the incense and then run away into the herd of pigs or he used his authority and commanded the demons to go?

MADAM U SAID WHY WOULD AN EXORCISED DEMON RUN TO EGYPT, AND I SAID COS AN ALSO EXORCISED DEMON CAN RUN INTO A HERD OF PIGS, STOP BEEN INCOHERENT..........EXORCISM INVOLVES THE AUTHORITY OF CHRIST AND NOT BURNING OF INCENSE ,PLS GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT

luckyCO:
Yes, but we don't believe in the sacrament of penance as your church teaches, that is why the foundation of the doctrine was questioned.

Once you deviate small from the word of God, before 20years if you see what that little deviation would have caused you will not believe initially it was little deviation.

What was the origin of confession to priest aside those that quote Book of John to support it?
The confession to the priest was introduced in Rome as a way to know what is going on the colony that rome controls.
It is a way to spy on people to know what is going on in the land. If they want to know what is happening around a particular place the bishop will summon the priests around that location and question them (of course you know they are under oath of obedience to the bishop during ordination they will swear that oath) and the bishop will make report to rome, then she will make decision that will give her superiority over other nations.

DUDE CONFESSION WAS PRACTISED AND IS STILL PRATISED IN THE UNIVERSAL CHURCH, ONLY ITS FORM HAS BEEN REBRANDED
EARLIER THE CONFESSOR STANDS IN FRONT OF THE CHURCH AND DOES HIS CONFESSION TO THE HEARING OF ALL THE CONGREGATION.

luckyCO:
I dont want to go into the real meaning of the scriptures you quoted now but later I will explain them God grace.
Who do pope/bishops go to confession to?

TO PRIESTS(REV FATHER)

luckyCO:
Though you didnt answer any of my questions However,you said Pope replaced Apostle Peter.
Now am saying if that is true,Pope must be a true apostle of Jesus Christ with apostolic annoiting(2 cor 12:11-12) and occupying an apostolic office(foundation laying ministry).
Show pope's apostolic annointing and foundation he is laying now to confirm he is true apostle of Jesus Christ else lets move to other claims of your church.

I think you meant to say apostolic succession rather?
http://www.catholic-hierarchy.org/bishop/bbergj.html

luckyCO:
Christians have 3 sacraments(let me borrow your word) (Repentance-water baptism,Baptism of the Holy Spirit,sanctification) but roman religion added yeast(false doctrines) to these 3 to form 7sacarments (Baptism,holy Eucharist, confirmation,penance, extreme unction, holy orders and matrimony).
And today so many false doctrines has been added around these 7 sacraments which indulgence is one of them.

what are you saying? are you the patriarch of christianity to say it has just 3 sacraments,u guys never cease to amaze, i know several protestant christians that believe in the 7 sacraments and indulgence is not a sacrament, did u say the holy eucharist is not a sacrament but una dey do communion service(chai)

We are not talking about healing, we are talking about casting out demons.

Doesn't it sound laughable to you that a demon will be cast of someone and the demon will run to Egypt?


Raphael couldn't bind Asmodeus until Tobias had used his concoction to disarm him.

And the angel lied twice. The named Angels usually introduced themselves by their names or remain anonymous. Why say to Tobias 'Am Raphael and to Tobit 'I am Azaria?

No be demon run enter herds of pig?

Raphael (Standard Hebrew רָפָאֵל, Rāfāʾēl, "It is God who heals", "God Heals", "God, Please Heal" is an archangel of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam who in the Christian tradition performs all manners of healing. In Islam, Raphael is the fourth major angel; in the Muslim tradition, he is known as Israfil. Raphael is mentioned in the Book of Tobit, which is accepted as canonical by Catholics, Orthodox, and some Anglo-Catholics, as useful for public teaching by Anglicans and considered useful and good to read by Lutherans. Raphael is generally associated with the angel mentioned in the Gospel of John as stirring the water at the healing pool of Bethesda. Raphael is also an angel in Mormonism, as he is briefly mentioned in the Doctrine and Covenants

Asmodeus (/ˌæzməˈdiːəs/; Greek: Ασμοδαίος, Asmodaios) or Ashmedai (/ˈæʃmᵻˌdaɪ/; Hebrew: אַשְמְדּאָי‎‎, ʾAšmədʾāy; see below for other variations) is a king of demons mostly known from the deuterocanonical Book of Tobit, in which he is the primary antagonist.The demon is also mentioned in some Talmudic legends; for instance, in the story of the construction of the Temple of Solomon. He was supposed by some Renaissance Christians to be the King of the Nine Hells. Asmodeus also is referred to as one of the seven princes of Hell. In Binsfeld's classification of demons, each one of these princes represents one of the seven deadly sins (Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Wrath, Envy, and Pride). Asmodeus is the demon of lust and is therefore responsible for twisting people's sexual desires, as seen in the book of Tobias especially. He is also said to be here on Earth after millions of years in hell. In jewish and islamic lore he is the king of the demons (Shedim/Jinn).

It is said in Asmodeus; Or, The Devil on Two Sticks that people who fall to Asmodeus' ways will be sentenced to an eternity in the second level of hell.

don't mind all these uneducated people.

we first start with ,is raphael and archangel...now its catholic church are liars...na wa oo

analice107:
Tobit was said to be a man, a Jew who was taken into exile to Assyria by King Sennacherib.
NOTE, (in the Bible, King Sennacherib couldn't succeed in taking Jews as slaves). But it is recorded in Tobit that he indeed took them as slaves.

So, Tobit was living in Nineveh, but was going to Jerusalem to worship Yahweh.

Tobit had a son by name Tobias. He (Tobit) was blind and felt he could die anytime, but a man was owing him in another city, so he sent his son Tobias to go get the money.

Meanwhile in that city, there was a young lady who was married to a spiritual husband by the name "Asmodeus", This spirit husband won't let her marry or have sex with a human man, as he usually kills her husbands immediately after marriage.

She had lost 7 husbands before meeting Tobias.

Now Tobias was to Travel to Ecbatan to collect back the money his father loaned out along time back, but he didn't know the way. He meets a man who happens to be ANGEL RAPHAEL, but Raphael didn't disclose his identity to Tobias.

Raphael pretends to be a relation to the man who owed the money in Ecbatana, so Raphael agreed to accompany Tobias to Ecbatana and show him the way and.



Tobit 6:1-8

So Tobias and the angel started out toward Media, taking Tobias' dog along with them. They walked on until sunset, then camped by the Tigris River. 2 Tobias had gone down to wash his feet in the river, when suddenly a huge fish jumped up out of the water and tried to swallow one of his feet. Tobias let out a yell, 3 and the angel called to him,

Grab that fish! Don't let it get away.

Then Tobias grabbed the fish and dragged it up on the bank.

4 Cut the fish open, the angel instructed,
and take out its gall bladder, heart, and liver. Keep these with you; they can be used for medicine, but throw away the guts.

5 Tobias did as the angel had told him. Then he cooked the fish, ate part of it, and salted the rest to take along with him.

The two continued on together until they were near Media.6 Then Tobias asked,
    Azarias, my friend, what diseases can be cured by this gall bladder, heart, and liver?

7 The angel answered,
    The heart and liver can be burned and used to chase away a demon or an evil spirit that is tormenting someone. The attacks will stop immediately, and the person will never be troubled again. 8 You can use the gall bladder to treat someone whose eyes are covered with a white film. Just rub it on his eyes and blow on the film, and he will be able to see again.

NOTE, The Angel lied to Tobias to be a relative of the man in Ecbatana when he met Tobias, but when he met Tobias's father Tobit, he also lied about his name. He told Tobias that his name was Raphael, but later told Tobit that his name was Azarias. And that he was their relative.



Raphael replied,
    My name is Azarias, and I am the son of the older Ananias, one of your relatives.
Tobit 5:12.


Now, Tobias had killed the Fish, got the heart and the liver and the gall bladder.

Now, close to the house of Raguel, the man who Tobit sort, Raphael suggests to Tobias to propose marriage to Sarah, the daughter of Raguel, the girl whose husbands die on their wedding nights.


Tobias refuses because he didn't want to die,

But, Raphael told him what to do with the Gall bladder, Heart and liver of the fish he had caught.


 16 When you go into the bedroom, take the fish's heart and liver with you and place them on the burning incense, 17 so that the odor will spread throughout the room. When the demon smells it, he will leave and never come near Sarah again

Tobit 6:16-17


So, Tobias married Sarah. That night when they were to consummate, The Spirit husband Asmodeus came to kill Tobias, he burnt the Fish heart, gall bladder and liver. When the demon perceived the Smell, the demon ran away to Egypt.


The Demon Is Expelled

8 When they had finished the meal, and it was time to go to bed, Sarah's parents led young Tobias to the bedroom. 2 He remembered Raphael's instructions, so he took the fish's liver and heart out of the bag where he had been keeping them. Then he placed them on the burning incense.3 The smell drove the demon away from them, and he fled to Egypt. Raphael chased after him and caught him there. At once he bound him hand and foot.


Biko, how does this align with any other Biblical history accounts.

And, from when does Angels of God pretend, lie, and uses physical mundane means to deal with demons who are spiritual beings like them.

This is where the Catholic Church got their Exorcism practices from.


The Bible never mentions Tobias or Tobit any where else.

The Bible never Mentioned Israel's exile in Assyria under Sennacherib. As a matter of Fact, recorded in 2Chronicles 32 that King Sennacherib came threatening King Hezekiah of Israel, Isaiah was the Prophet then, Yahweh told him to tell Hezekiah not to worry that Sennacherib will never enter Israel much less shoot a bow into Jerusalem.


God made Sennacherib to hear a rumour that other nations where joined together to attack him, he ran away as the Angel of the Lord went into their Camp and killed his soldiers, he ran to his village, while praying in the temple of his god, his two sons went in there and killed him. They ran away and his third son became king of assyria.

1Chron 32: 23. In this way the Lord rescued King Hezekiah and the people of Jerusalem from the power of Sennacherib, the emperor of Assyria, and also from their other enemies. He let the people live in peace with all the neighboring countries. 23 Many people came to Jerusalem.


Apart from the laughable manner the Angel went about dealing with a fellow Angel, howbeit fallen, the account doesn't agree with the Bible account.

If you ask me, this was why, it was removed.

Shalom.

No be the same master JESUS use clay and his spittle to anoint blind man eyes before healing

Pope francis landed in cairo 54 mins ago

His trip comes just weeks after 45 people killed in Egyptian church bombings
But bold pontiff has turned down use of armoured car despite security risks
His spokesman said terror attacks are part of the world of 'the new normal'


Pope Francis has asked his Christian followers to pray for him as he heads to Egypt as a 'pilgrim of peace' tomorrow.
The head of the Catholic church made the plea on Twitter as a Vatican spokesman confirmed the pontiff would not be using an armoured car as his predecessors did for foreign trips.
His move is especially bold given it comes just weeks after two Palm Sunday suicide bombings on Egyptian churches that killed at least 45 people.

Pope Francis is facing a religious and diplomatic balancing act as he heads to the Middle East, where he is hoping to comfort the Christian community after a spate of Islamic attacks while seeking to improve relations with Muslim leaders.
Security has been tightened, with shops ordered closed and police conducting door-to-door checks in the upscale Cairo neighborhood where Francis will stay Friday night.
His only public Mass is being held at a military-run stadium.
Vatican spokesman Greg Burke said Francis wasn't overly concerned and wouldn't be riding in a protected car.

Francis insisted on going ahead with the trip even after the bombings in Tanta and Alexandria as well as the subsequent attack at the famed St. Catherine's monastery in Sinai.
'We're in the world of "new normal",' Burke said. 'But we go forward with serenity.'
The highlight of the two-day trip will be Francis' visit Friday to Al-Azhar, the revered 1,000-year-old seat of learning in Sunni Islam. There, he will meet privately with grand imam Sheikh Ahmed el-Tayeb, and participate in an international peace conference.Francis has insisted that Christian-Muslim dialogue is the only way to overcome Islamic extremism of the kind that has targeted Christians and driven them from their 2,000-year-old communities in Iraq, Syria and elsewhere in the Middle East.
While condemning extremist attacks against Christians, he has said he is traveling to Egypt as a messenger of peace at a time when the world is 'torn by blind violence.'
But his message of dialogue and tolerance has been rejected as naive by even some of his fellow Jesuits, for whom Islam remains 'a religion of the sword' that has failed to modernize.
Even ordinary Egyptian Christians see his visit as a nice gesture but one that ultimately won't change their reality.
The pope's visit, following el-Sissi's recent reception at the White House, will crown the time and effort he has invested in shaking off the international isolation he suffered after his 2013 ouster of Islamist President Mohammed Morsi, Egypt's first freely elected president.
Egypt's Coptic Christians, who make up about 10 percent of the country's 92 million people, have been strong backers of el-Sissi even after the recent attacks and amid mounting international criticism of human rights violations by his government.
Burke, the Vatican spokesman, acknowledged that the pope could be used by leaders for their political ends during his foreign trips. But he insisted Francis has an agenda of his own: to minister to Egypt's tiny Catholic community, express solidarity with the broader Christian community and improve ties with Muslims.

. wow!!!/this is chilling., real bravery; if this isn't, then I don't know what is...

thanks for your input

going through history,everyone tags hitler as he embodiment of all that is evil,but looking at it,minus the holocaust,adolf did what every other european leader would have done,only hitler was better prepared.
Stalin purged his army and was purged the polish army and was a stone cold communist to his people
or was it gen. francisco franco and his leftist purge after the spanish civil war or even almighty napoleon bonaparte.
yes...the NAZI were power drunk sycophant(i personally dislike himmler and goring),but hitler was a genius in a way,dis was the same german in 1914 that suffered the massively in WW1, and had to pay the debt for the entire war,the economy was so bad that to buy a loaf of bread,one needed a wheel barrow of deutschemark fast forward to 1939, and you had the most sophisticated army in der welt.....unterboats,panzers,jerrycan,fanta,enigma,even HUGO BOSS designed the uniforms for the wehrmacht...am not in any way justify the holocaust,i guess the world was just amazed that nazi germany was just too sophisticated for the war,but the holocaust was a terrible crime

so my verdict......guilty but was he ever the worst of them all?
