Philadelphia:
If they are wrong, over 100 languages on earth cannot be wrong too as the seventh day of most languages in the world means Sabbath, rest or anything that relates to it.

Saturday in Igbo is Ubochi Izu-ike which means "Sabbath morning"
Saturday in Yoruba is Abameta the day 3 things happened (God Blessed, Rested and Sanctified). Exodus 20:8-11 confirms that God did these 3 things on the Sabbath day.
Browse and see what other languages in the world call Saturday. You'll be amazed.

Igbo's don't have a seventh day. Igbo's have a four day week. Whetever is called seventh day is a recent development by the early christian missionaries. Actually the sabbath is not really a day it is a concept. Because the almighty God is still observing his sabbath even till this moment. That sabbath will end after everything in the book of revelation comes to pass after which a new day will begin. God wants us to enter into his rest Hebrews 4:1-10

Even Native doctors see spirits and hear voices. It is abnormal to hear the thoughts of your fellow man. God has not given men permission to know the thoughts of another man. The reason is because thoughts of men change and if you know the thought of a fellow man you could cause a lot of problems, evil rumuors could start and would disturb the repentance of a man that earlier had an evil thought. The righteous shall live by faith, you don't need to see anything or hear anything to serve God. Find out the will of God and work according to it believing that he rewards those that serve him

On the seventh day he rested. The seventh day is relative. Any christian group can choose that their week starts on tuesday and have their sabbath on the seventh day which would be monday. The sabbath day on the jewish calender usually starts from friday evening and ends on saturday evening. The catholic church that uses the Julian calender decided that their on seventh day is sunday. So the sabbath can be chosen any day depending on the group. But for convenience saturday or sunday are chosen. Remember during the days of the ancient jews there was noting like saturday or sunday. The keyword is every seventh day.

Human behavior is too complex to know if someone is a people pleaser with just 20 guidelines. You are setting the stage for someone to start judging others without enough facts. Most people would naturally want to please their boses. Most people would want to get along with their co-workers. If someone is slandered in an environment the person would definitely not want to give his best no matter how old the relationship was. The truth of the matter is don't judge anyone whether they are people pleasers or not, don't judge anyone at all. Concern yourself about people trying to do the right thing. If the right thing is to please people do it. If the right thing is to snobb them do it, if the right thing is to be caring do it afterall there is a time for everything. Right now there are people i need to snobb, for taking me for granted maybe i tried to please them in the past and i became a people pleaser now it's time to snobb them. There are people i need to please right now and i am doing it. Identifying people that are people pleasers may just make us harsh unbearable people. My personal opinion though.

Jesus christ asked his followers to preach the good news, when God created the world he looked at all he had done and they were good. Forget about the witches and wizards and start pondering about all the good things in the bible. Look around you and find out all the good things you can do. Do as i have adviced and believe me you will never know any practicer of witch craft again. All those preachers identifying witches and wizards and giving people worthless prophecies are all workers of iniquity(Workers of lawlessness). It was the devil that first saw bad in Gods creation and anyone that always sees bad in the creative works of God is imitating the devill. Even if you have an illness don't go about advertising how the power of witchcraft has made you ill. Always see Good in the creative works of God and then your eyes will be open to do God's work. Cheers

Should we remove the number 666 from the counting sequence and count 665 667 668... It is not possible. The book of revelation asked those that are wise to calculate the number. It is a symbol. no time will the number be engraved on peoples fore head to mark end times. These propaganda are just there to make people to be relaxed so that they will be waiting for the number to be inserted on people with a computer chip and then suddenly the end will overtake them.

ovoSoftware:
for programming I would go for macbook pro.....BUT WHY.....welll because
1. the best software for web development exits on OS X eg TextMate and more....it is believed that the best developers are on macs so they built the best tools on macs

2. windows is considered to be slow, complex and unreliable in comparison to OS X

3.Mac OS X is the only platform that allows you to develop for any platform - web, Microsoft windows (bootcamp), iOS , Mac, Unix and Linux


for hacking....I mean serious hacking ....the only laptop I have seen that is close to that of a desktop is the Sky X9W having
1. 64gb ram (DDR4 2666MHz)
2. 5tb of ssd disk space
3. Intel’s Skylake i7-6700K
4. ultra HD (4K) display
5.  8GB Quadro M5000M GPU.
6  3 fans onboard to keep the workstation from overheating
.......this beast will be able to do a brute force attack (to test possible key combinations) pretty well.... but that is only if you have $11,000 to spend


NOTE : the above writeup is subjective

Although most modern computers can be used for programming, but if you are programming mobile apps and you want to target as many phones as possible then you should use a mac because only mac can be used to compile your code for use with iphones. Most programmers don't need this feature so most modern machines can start you out as a programmer cheers

Most women are like that. Women are not naturally good with giving except you tell them that if they give their gift will bring back a reward in a certain amount of time. Women are always scared of their husband's wealth being consumed by outsiders leaving her children with nothing, and some of them take it too far. If you want to help someone help the person in her absence or else she would start imagining that she is suffering in your house while others are enjoying your money. Insecurity is what causes such mentality. If there is a way to make them to feel more secure then men will have peace. A woman will bug you until you spend your salary to the end. She will only be happy if you keep the salary with her then she will not want to buy unnecessary things. If she holds your money, tell her, darling send 10,000 naira to your siblings and give me 20,000 to give to my brother, you would be surprised how she would gladly give you the money without complaining because she has started feeling more secure.

Before you can write about Nigeria you must know Nigeria. Number we pay taxes. Ask the average taxi driver in port-harcourt. Owning even a private bus in Nigeria is not easy. The touts that collect these taxes would argue with you at lenght that it is not private. You will buy many different stickers sometimes upto twenty with prices ranging between 5 thousand to 15 thousand naira. After buying stickers and pasting it on ur vehicle if u travel to another local govt or state you would have to buy their own set of stickers. If u own a business u would have to pay operational permit and other levies there was a time people were forced to buy refuse bins from the LGA. As a citizen you still have to pump your own water and use generators to do so. Most times people would have to organize for their own security. While government officials seek ways to increase revenue to enrich themselves. Low and behold there was a year peoples stoves were seized when the local government demanded for stove levies. Nigerians are trying exchange rates really doesn't tell the full story. 1 dollar is about 200 naira but if I spend one dollar in the US I will get more value than spending 200 naira in Nigeria.

My father used to tell us that such an experience was caused by some being bitten by a spider. So when someone experienced such he would order for a thorough cleanup of the house and elimination of all cobwebs even at the remotest part of the house

Then help him masturbate by giving him a handjob. Enter the bathroom when he is masturbating and give him a handjob

Rubbish, if you are not handicapped go to places where young men hustle and hustle there stop wallowing in self pity. In case you don't know where young en hustle here is a list
1. Private schools, primary and secondary, there you would see other young men like yourself looking for better jobs but using their current jobs as a means to an end. They are always carrying tuesday guardian newspaper seeking for fresh vacancies. Here is a place to interact with people and share experiences don't live in isolation.
2 Security firms they are also like private schools.
3 Sales boys in supermarket.
The list is endless. Don't sit with fools who boast about looking for jobs in multinationals, those are the stories you here in NYSC camps.
Don't look down on these humble jobs you can solicit the help of a patron from such jobs. I remember being introduced to a high rankinga central bank official in a state after teaching her son in my private lesson the boy performed exceptionally well in an interview, so she demanded that the head teacher who recommended me for the lesson should arrange for her to meet with me, she spoke favourably with me about giving me a job but i left the state before it materialized. Also learn to strive for excellence in any responsibility given to you.

You live with someone and you call urself a friend and when the person is not watching u snap his property and show it to the whole world. Ur a betrayer, everybody has something odd that he or she does, even you, how would you feel if someone post on social media that your mouth smells awefully every morning. Each priviledged information you have about someone should be kept confidential except in a situation where a higher principle is violated.

jascon1:
He died an expensive death of 3m naira

Three million naira death is not an expensive death if he was educated had a moderate paying job married a hard working woman they could save 3 million in less than 5 years used it to build a modest house and lived peacefully and watch their children grow. These guys are just not patient they are misled to believe that only fools are patient

If i am not mistaken the woman Rosalind Balogun used to be in one of the adverts for a popular toilet soap, either lux or joy soap

Why do people put so much emphasis on things that cannot be proven. Abraham himself was referred to as a Hebrew. That simply means that the Hebrews existed before Abraham which simply implies that so many tribes can be linked to being hebrews because Abraham is a father of many Nations both spiritually and Physically

Rubbish this is not possible or true. Obasanjo is an elderly man older than these persons how can he select them as president expecting them to die, had it been obasanjo was a young man this would have made sense, this is junk statement or info

Don't blame us. Lack of power, a developer has to work calculating how much fuel he needs to get the job done. Faced with a challenge like this he has to become a CMS and RAD expert. Recently i tried to get developers together so that we can work as a team and improve ourselves guess what, everyone was too busy to sharpen the saw. Training as a developer is also very rare in africa, each developer has to buy time which is really very scarce, to learn. Most time the jobs we get are really very urgent with clients that don't know what exactly they want the probability that you will be grossly under paid is very high.

All courses are difficult, or easy depending on the interest of the individual. Why we find courses difficult is because most persons didn't choose courses of their interest. If ur not an artist and you enroll to study fine art in the university you might find it very difficult.

How would you have access to preach to them. It is the Job of your children to preach to these children.Today's Christianity is no more real that is why people are so scared of occultist who may just be practicing there beliefs, and the only thing that truly shows a practicing christian is his ability to love his neighbor which also pushes him/her to preach for his neighbor believing that the word of God is sharper than any two edged sword and can pierce into any man to change his beliefs and thinking to conform to Gods will. Christians today segregate people and classify some persons who don't share the same belief with them as being so evil that they cannot be changed, failing to realize that such a way of thinking is a sin against the holy spirit

Nigerians suffer depression but the problem is the level of stigmatization that you may go through. I remember when someone started a rumuor that i was depressed based on his own mediocre observation. This rumuor caused me a lot of problems. I became a laughing stock for many, infact i became a source of entertainment. The truth is that almost everyone gets depressed in a certain point in life. Half baked knowledge is bad and the Nigerian tendency of making mockery of people in need is also very bad.

Dumb actions. Let African Leaders take lessons in Economics and History. Expelling the farmers in your country isn't good for your economy, forcing inexperienced people not to go into partnership with experienced white farmers is like stuffing excess bread into the mouths of the black citizens that they cannot chew. A smart president would learn from what happened to Idi Amin. African Leaders should learn from Nelson Mandela, they should stop sounding tough, they should employ very sound advisers, those with a sound balance of academic(book sense) and practical knowledge and fear of God.

The teachings of Jehovah's witnesses is more sound than all other churches. Some persons claim that the founding fathers of Jehovah's witnesses were not seasoned theologians which may be true just like Jesus and his disciples were not certified jewish scholars. Many of Jesus apostles also had questionable characters which were later corrected by their new faith which is described in the bible as renewal. The apostles also had contrasting beliefs in their views which caused disputes,(The requirements of gentiles to become christians). These disputes never stopped them from being christians.

There are several things i have learned which every person that studies the bible really need to know

1) Many things happened before you were born everyone need to study carefully every story heard and do vigorous research without sentiments to get the actual facts about Christianity
2) Many things were distorted after the passage of time. For example do you know that the doctrine of the trinity was not as popular as it is today? Do you know that no one knows the shape of the object used to crucify Jesus many falsely believe that it is a cross.
3)Understand the original Jewish teaching. The original Jewish teaching is one God, there is no life after death, the only remedy to death is the resurrection which the Jews belief was the awakening of dead people from non existence

Go for girls that are very serious. They may not be very gorgeous but they are usually okay. Most times many guys miss these types of ladies. They don't stress you, they are not fashion crazy, they are not crazy about Brazilian hair, they know how to solve calculus, differential equations and laplace transforms. They 're not active fans to any club but they know good players, good coaches and the different football formations. These ladies when they visit you can fill up your day with interesting discussions that you may forget to eat. Only few guys can identify them. When you do, buy them very nice clothes, take them to an excellent saloon for an excellent hairdo, don't worry you don't need to do it all the time she will catchup because she's naturally intelligent, but doesn't care about her looks but she would catchup just for you. After doing these things many guys will start seeing her as beautiful and would start chasing after her. Don't be afraid she's yours but the problem is she may leave you if she finds out that you are a dull man without ambition. The main reason why she may leave you would be floating rumors spread by haters which might not be handled properly by either party. Stay away from married women, they are dangerous boring and strong willed(Married women here refers to adulterous women). I know these things because it has happened to me up to three times. I am married to one of these women, another is married, the third has been influenced by normal average girls. Thanks.

Elijah McCoy
Invention: Oil-Dripping Cup
Automatic lubricator for oiling the steam engines of locomotives and boats.

https://african-americaninventors.org/images/db_images/elijah_mccoy.png

Elijah McCoyAfro-Canadian inventor and engineer. After studying engineering in Edinburgh, Scotland, and returning home to Canada, he found work as a fireman and oiler at the Michigan Central Railroad. In a home-based machine shop in Ypsilanti, McCoy invented an automatic lubricator for oiling the steam engines of locomotives and boats. For this he obtained his first patent, "Improvement in Lubricators for Steam-Engines" (U.S. Patent 129,843 ) on July 23rd, 1872. Similar automatic oilers had been patented previously; one is the displacement lubricator which had already attained widespread use and whose technological descendants continued to be widely used into the 20th century.

Lubricators were a boon for railroads, allowing trains to run faster and more profitably with less need to stop for lubrication and maintenance.

Nebeuwa: Other inventors tried to copy McCoy's oil-dripping cup. But none of the other cups worked as well as his, so customers started asking for "the real McCoy." That's where the expression comes from.

This is the most popular black inventor, popularized by the phrase "The real McCoy".

There is nothing bad about illiteracy or under exposure. The most important thing is wisdom. Although many people don't know the real meaning of illiteracy. Illiteracy is simply the inability to read or write in any human language. Exposure is relative depending on your status

Pack ur things and leave, you have already stayed with them for too long. Find a suitable lie to tell ur sister the reason for leaving so that she doesn't suspect you. You also need to tell ur sisters husband that you would be leaving, explain to him the lie you would tell ur sister as the reason for ur leaving or else he would betray you believing you might betray him to his wife. Please pack ur things and leave that is the most sensible thing to do. It is easy to fall in love with someone you have stayed with for long please leave now

The borehole got bad and you went out with a big basin to fetch water elsewhere did you ask how the borehole would be repaired just to show concern or did you behave as if you can easily get alternative outside, i can do without the facilities my landlord provides attitude. This attitude makes landlords to be pissed off

aaronson: I know it sounds immoral but sex with your spouse to be is definately needed just so you know your partner's sexuality appetite and other problem because marriage is a life time investment with child bearing as profit to the blissful matrimony,some people are just so religious to know the technical truth even Jesus had to tell Abraham to lie to a king that sarah was his sister and The Same God still told Samuel to tell saul that he was just passing by to go to the mountain for prayers when truthfully he was going to the house of jesse to anoint david as king,so would you say God has made these people lied or that's simply WISDOM

So how has ur contribution solved her problem identified by other nairalanders as virgi...

Tithe was made for the Jewish religious people but christians are urged to give freely. The ultimate sacrifice a christian should give is his/her life. That means christians are ready to give up their life as a sacrifice for their faith. The law of moses required a tenth of ur income the law of christ requires you to give all including ur life. Tithes are not mandatory, giving freely for the support of the faith is very important, read the bible book of Hebrews on this matter.

These hell fire stories are becoming too many. People believe these crazy stories and forget that the rich man was not allowed to come back to preach in the parable of Lazarus and the rich man. According to the book of Jude verse 7 everlasting fire means non existence. God does not take delight in burning people forever. Which human judge would sentence an armed robber who has refused to change to a very slow and agonizing death that would last for a week in boiling oil, every human judge knows that such a punishment is wickedness. Adam was sentenced to death by the almighty who said "Dust you are and to dust you will return", Adam stopped existing when he died and that is death. When a man dies he doesn't exist anymore his only hope is the resurrection. God will recreate dead people from nothing putting back their memories and all essential features. God is not the God of the Dead but the God of the living can only be true. If the dead don't exist, because God is the God of every conscious being.
