FamilyRe: The Culture Of Wedding Ring And Its Meaning In Nigeria by Blaqsmith(m): 7:51am On Jul 12, 2015
Lizabeth25:
I wish people respect the ring though because if it's a symbol of Love, why do people still have broken homes after wearing rings of plenty thousands or millions huh
it's something in the heard. What a ring signifies is immaterial and flimsy. Just like a poster aforesaid, "...where I am, it is a bottle opener,keyholder etc."

airsaylongcon:
this is a Nigerian phenomenon. the engagement ring is traditionally worn on the ring finger of The lefthand.why Nigerians decided to migrate to the middle finger is something I don't know

also certain cultures particularly in eastern Europe (eg d Greeks) wear the wedding band on the right hand.
It isnt any Nigeria phenomenon. You need to read the post carefully before misleading an ignoramus.

johnydon22:
You need to pay interest in this field. . .read about them to know what exactly you are about to believe. . . One thing with you theists is that you guys rarely check before believing something. (Once the pastor says it then i believe it) You have to apply independent study on your own and employ free thinking to determine what YOU find plausible and believable and not what they church/pastors/pope says
your signature got me thinking big. You are one of the few atheists I so much respect on this forum.

Christianity EtcPope Francis Declares Evolution And Big Bang Theory Real. by Blaqsmith(op): 8:23am On Jul 10, 2015
The theories of evolution and the Big Bang are real and God is not “a magician with a magic wand”, Pope Francishas declared.
Speaking at the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, the Pope made comments which experts said put an end to the “pseudo theories” of creationism and intelligent design that some argue were encouraged by his predecessor, Benedict XVI.

Francis explained that both scientific theories were not incompatible with the existence of a creator – arguing instead that they “require it”.
“When we read about Creation in Genesis, we run the risk of imagining God was a magician, with a magic wand able to do everything. But that is not so,” Francis said.He added: “He created human beings and let them develop according to the internal laws that he gave to each one so they would reach their fulfilment.

“The Big Bang, which today we hold to be the origin of the world, does not contradict the intervention of the divine creator but, rather, requires it.
“Evolution in nature is not inconsistent with the notion of creation, because evolution requires the creation of beings that evolve.”
The Catholic Church has long had a reputation for being anti-science – most famously when Galileo faced the inquisition and was forced to retract his “heretic” theory that the Earth revolved around the Sun.
But Pope Francis’s comments were more in keeping with the progressive work of Pope Pius XII, who opened the door to the idea of evolution and actively welcomed the Big Bang theory. In 1996, John Paul II went further and suggested evolution was “more than a hypothesis” and “effectively proven fact”.
Yet more recently, Benedict XVI and his close advisors have apparently endorsed the idea that intelligent design underpins evolution – the idea that natural selection on its own is insufficient to explain the complexity of the world. In 2005, his close associate Cardinal Schoenborn wrote an article saying “evolution in the sense of common ancestry might be true, but evolution in the neo-Darwinian sense – an unguided, unplanned process – is not”.

Giovanni Bignami, a professor and president of Italy’s National Institute for Astrophysics, told the Italian news agency Adnkronos: “The pope’s statement is significant. We are the direct descendents from the Big Bang that created the universe. Evolution came from creation.”

Giulio Giorello, professor of the philosophy of science at Milan’s University degli Studi, told reporters that he believed Francis was “trying to reduce the emotion of dispute or presumed disputes” with science.
Despite the huge gulf in theological stance between his tenure and that of his predecessor. “No one could ever say of him that study and science made him and his love for God and his neighbour wither,” Francis said, according to a translation by the Catholic News Service.
“On the contrary, knowledge, wisdom and prayer enlarged his heart and his spirit. Let us thank God for the gift that he gave the church and the world with the existence and the pontificate of Pope Benedict.”
EducationAAUA Debunks Rumour Of Post Utme Form. by Blaqsmith(op): 1:26pm On Jul 01, 2015
AAUA Debunks rumour of post utme form
In what could be described as a swift
reaction to the ongoing rumour on the
social media about the post utme,the
management of the Adekunle Ajasin
University Akungba Akoko has denied in
totality the alleged rumour of the release of
the post utme forms for the 2015/2016
academic session.
The Registrar of the institution,Mr Bamidele
Olotu in a telephone interview said the
alleged released was not from him and
warned the general public to be aware of
unscrupulous elements who are there to
hoodwink and extort people in the society.
The Registrar said the post utme exercise
cannot be held,because the federal minister
of Education has not been appointed by the
new government.The minister,he said would
always chaired the committee that would
decide the cut off marks for institutions and
also post utme.
He said " Let me say that the post utme form
has not been released,people should
disregard the rumour.The new government
has not appointed the Minister of Education
who will be the chairman of the committee
that will decide the cut-off marks for the
exercise"
Mr Bamidele Olotu however advised people
to disregard the statement that was
credited to him as absolute false.

would have been better had it been an interesting one. Who likes to read millions of confused and contradictory words that dont even have a single pictoral evidence to ginger one's sense of imagination? I prefer reading newspapers!
Christianity EtcRe: The Creation- How Compelling Is The Christian Narative? by Blaqsmith(m): 11:18am On Jun 28, 2015
Some General Overseers would even dodge this question or at best start beating around the push. Since OP is a christian( I guess I am right), and christians are lead by FAITH(believing in things unseen and what lacks empirical backup) why asking to know how creation of Adam occured and how empirical it is?

It is either you believe the bible without asking questions or become a freethinker. The former which I believe we, all of us still unconsciously and by nature still do.

Montaque:
the best thing APC has done as a party is to invent a scapegoat for Nigerians, who will take all the blames.
So it is now GEJ that is the progenitor of violence?
If GMB had complied with simple instruction since last year,we will not be in this crossroad by now, and yet you blame a man that has nothing to do with his non compliance.
Why not blame the APC chieftains n fans who gave GMB a risky hope that nothing will come out of this Certificate and perjury issues?
Jega avoided the daunting task of doing his work and wisely shifted this issue to the courts, you still want to blame Mr. President.
I would rather not say a thing on this.

EducationRe: A Complaint From A Jamb Candidate To Jamb by Blaqsmith(m): 1:58pm On Mar 22, 2015
Bro,I can feel your pains right now.

I remember last year when I did mine and was anticipating at least 250.surprised I was when I saw 179.
What could I do? I just got over with it and process Poly admission with the result.

I am now an ND1 student of Mass Communication at Rufus Giwa Poly.

I re-wrote JAMB again this year and I had 261 even when I was in the middle of school exams.

My advice for u is just to forget it and think of what next quickly.


There is more to life than passing JAMB.

Good luck bro.
