ABCthings: There are lots of testimonies all around. You think they were all made up?
If a testimony has no backing evidence it would be unwise to believe it.
I know a man who testified three times he was healed of Hiv/Aids at the Synagogue. He gave away three properties in gratitude only to die of the Hiv/Aids he was healed off leaving his family homeless.
sonmvayina: If Jesus was a black Nigerian or Ghanaian, would African worship him?.. I know white people won't, so I am not going there...
If it was my village people from oshimili North local government area.. That brought a saviour concept to the rest of the world and Nigeria would we worship him as God?.... And our saviour... If his name was ifeanyi Okeke.. Would we?..
Yes, some would. Oyakhilome, Adeboye, Olumba, Fela and Tacha are all black and some do worship them!
hopeforcharles: He actually did, he designed a some samples for me, remember it comes with the printing job, anywhere in the world, u have to give u client sample and if they are cool they pay if not they move on, sample is the costomers copy, remember the printer can always put in watermarks to protect his work.
No, the sample is not the client's copy until you pay for it. What you did was steal anothers work, watermark or not. No watermark is like you saying he left the door open so you just took it! If he sued you it would be for the entire work, design and printing.
LordReed: Are you able to obtain things non believers can't?
Somehow, perhaps.
If I put crop in the soil at the right moment and tend my farm accordingly my crop will grow and I will not starve. It isn't a thing I believe because I have tested it season after season and now know for certain hence my faith that it shall continue to be so.
I would like to think that a person who has no belief they would harvest, and faith in their abilities and in favourable weather, might not sow to begin with. Belief, however, is not a prerequisite, as one might just be testing if sowing produces a harvest so that one might know for certain instead of just believing with no supporting evidence.
Its like my faith in mountain moving, I guess. I can move Kilimanjaro by my faith in my ability to dig it up and carry it on my back and move it elsewhere if I wish to (if I had such abilities to have faith in, of course). Thankfully, I like Kilimanjaro exactly where it currently is or I'd be digging for a long long while, while a non-believer would not bother wasting time digging at all.
Essentially, if one does not believe sowing will produce a harvest, one might not sow, and will most definitely not harvest what I sowed by my faith and the work I put in to make my crop grow. I can assure you that if I just throw my seeds on the soil and do no work, my crop would most likely be choked by weeds.
As for dying and living after, I'm yet to test that yet, but everyone who has died that I know of is rotting in a box six feet below ground or has been cremated and is ashes in an urn on a mantle.
Do note that my dinner would appear today because I have faith it would. Though, saying that, my dinner today is at 805, and it will come from a call I received. Might post photos to prove picking up the phone was work.
hopeforcharles: Remember they are still humans and are still in the world, so sometimes there is a reason, That same thing u accused the pastor of has happened to me, I had this printing job which after the guy did the designing I later found out that his own printing was costlier, I got it cheaper somewhere else, I had to use the other guy which is cheaper, maybe Pastor didn't lie he just lack the way to tell u. Have u reasoned it this way?
You took the more expensive design to a cheaper printer
Have you reasoned at all? Why did you not ask the cheap printer to design cheap for you?
I survived less than 3 minutes of it, and feel you can pod more interesting stuff while, I pressume, driving through traffic than your moan about your etisalat wifi running out!
Don't mind me though. Here's a podcast I constantly listen to. Hear as the intro drags you in and tells you what the pod is about.
Where did I write that the admins monitor the page?
Moreover, Wikipedia pages are not always the same. Pages like Ebonyi can go years without much traffic which is why rate of modifications might be almost unnoticeable.
Be truthful. How many Wikipedia pages of Nigerian states do you visit? These pages can stay unmodified for months.
I visit enough, though its not my major source for Naija info since I'm perfectly aware we Nigerians barely edit wiki and when we do we tend to post what we think and believe with no verification whatsoever just as we do here.
Some wiki pages are continously disputed with lots of to and fro in the background. There is a reason it is not accepted in academia. Besides, on important issues, wiki should not be one's sole source for reasons you and others have mentioned.
BluntBoy: If there is any evidence, the person that last modified the page would have provided a link. But check the page, the references are very few and none seemed to contain a lead to the site where the editor had gotten his information.
Someone merely modified the page and included Eto's name. The admins mostly don't take this seriously since the page is unprotected.
You might have a point. Evidence for his fathers hometown is scarce.

It isn't the admins duty to monitor every page, monitoring is every contributors duty. If any one has evidence (or not, for that matter), that Eto is not from Ebonyi they can edit. Disputes would involve admins checking evidence, and only the truth would stand eventually, or wiki would have died by now.
murphyibiam15: Why not try to check if you can edit it, we're not even arguing about the ability to edit it,..afterall Wikipedia left the ability to edit for a reason so that new information can be added
The focus should be if the information is right or wrong
It is. And if one continues to edit lies into wiki they'd be banned from future wiki editing.
BluntBoy: Anyone can edit Wikipedia pages. However, there are some Wikipedia pages that are protected and have many reliable links (mostly science-based entries).
But entries such as Ebonyi are unprotected and this is so to improve the content. For instance, someone has included Samuel Eto as one of the notable people from Ebonyi. Someone else can remove his name.
But entry such as Ebola which have links to many peer-reviewed articles and books by seasoned scientists and researchers are always protected by the Wiki admins.
Anyone can indeed edit, but if Samuel Eto is from Ebonyi State and you remove his name from a page that says so, it would be argued, and if evidence for its validity is provided, it stays and the remover would not be able to remove it anymore.
Just finished Godfathers of Harlem, and feel like kicking those who hyped it so much. Personally, I'd give it a 4, plus perhaps an additional 2 for its historical content. I feel its setting up to improve in season 2 though.
And before anyone knocks me, Breaking Bad is 9, Mayan MC is 8 and my favourite, The Wire is a whopping 11¾ out of 10.
