Are you a xtian?

Monsieur! !

Please can you kindly tell us what the word "Xtian" mean?

I find it amusing that Christians tend to flow with the ideas of non-believers who are solely hell-bent on removing the word "Christ" from every term and vocabulary of the Church.

in a bid to do so,they sculpture out diminutives and hence leading to words like "Xmas" "Xtian" and etcetera


We CHRISTIANS must learn how to be good ambassadors of Christ without harbouring any form of Shame, favour or fancy.


Thank You

This is Photoshop, don't know what Nairaland is turning into, i just got back from three weeks ban for chastising a Mod for moving wrong information to the fp. I doubt if the Mod that did this bothered to check the school portal, well there is nothing like Eksu cancelling the Post Utme. You can visit the school e-portal to confirm that. If the social media bill is eventually passed , I'll petition that Nairaland be abolished, it's now a medium for spreading wrong information, spreading religion and ethnic hatred among Nigerians

Reactions continue to surface following the scrapping of the Pume. JUST IN.
Vice Chancellors won’t scrap post
matriculation test
Heads of Nigerian
Universities yesterday condemned
the recent call by lawmakers for
post-JAMB tests in the country to be
stopped, saying the entrance
examination into the tertiary
institutions conducted by Joint
Admission
and Matriculation Board (JAMB), is
no longer credible.
Chairman of the
Committee of Vice Chancellors and
Vice Chancellor of University of Port
Harcourt, Don Baridam, who briefed
reporters in Abuja, said it is out
of place for members of the House
Representative to outrightly call for
the university entrance examination
to be stopped.
Mr. Baridam said
JAMB is no longer credible, as it
does not in any way present a
candidate’s true stand academically,
hence the need for an additional
test.
Hear from us
“If they want to
scrap the post UTME (Unified
Tertiary Matriculation Examinations),
the
first thing is to invite the universities
and hear from them,” he said.
“More than 90 per of those who
wrote it have graduated. The first
batch
left last year, the second batch will
leave this year and from the
reports they are doing well.
“Post UTME is not
illegal. Universities had laws and the
laws of the universities were
done by the government binding
the behaviour of members of the
universities. This idea of post UTME
started in 2004. The
implementation was in 2005 and
members of the National Assembly
were
quite aware of it. If it is illegal, they
would have stopped us then.
We are doing it for the interest of
this country, not for personal
interest. We want to see that we get
in the best candidates. We cannot
compete globally if we admit those
who cannot write their names. We
must ensure that right candidates
are admitted into the universities.”
On the fees paid by
candidates before being admitted to
write the test, Mr. Baridam stated
that technologies and materials are
used in conducting the examination
and should be paid for; adding that
the fees charged go towards
validating the credibility of the
examination.
“It is not an avenue for exploitation
but for selecting the best
candidates,” he said.
Easy to cheat
The university
administrator said the post UTME
had become imperative considering
that
JAMB examinations cannot be
depended upon.
“It is easy to cheat in JAMB exams
as the security measure is porous,”
he said.
The president of
the Academic Staff Union of Nigerian
universities, Awuzie Ukachukwu,
also told newsmen that the National
Assembly should have been
interested in reviewing the act that
set up JAMB.
“They are just grandstanding. They
should look at the JAMB, review
the act holistically,” he said. “Since
there are more qualified
Nigerian students who are not
admitted because of lack of access,
NASS
should create access for children to
get to the universities. They
should not be talking about post
UTME, the trivial aspect of the
whole
thing while the main issue is access.
Access centres on funding,
providing facility for every child to
go to tertiary institution.”

KPhantom how far?

theEYe21:
“Certainly you will understand what I am about to say, my brothers and sisters, because all of you know about law. The law rules over people only as long as they live. A married woman, for example, is bound by the law to her husband as long as he lives; but if he dies, then she is free from the law that bound her to him. So then, if she lives with another man while her husband is alive, she will be called an adulteress; but if her husband dies, she is legally a free woman and does not commit adultery if she marries another man. That is how it is with you, my sisters and brothers. As far as the Law is concerned, you also have died because you are part of the body of Christ; and now you belong to him who was raised from death in order that we might be useful in the service of God. For when we lived according to our human nature, the sinful desires stirred up by the Law were at work in our bodies, and all we did ended in death. Now, however, we are free from the Law, because we died to that which once held us prisoners. No longer do we serve in the old way of a written law, but in the new way of the Spirit. Shall we say, then, that the Law itself is sinful? Of course not! But it was the Law that made me know what sin is. If the Law had not said, “Do not desire what belongs to someone else,” I would not have known such a desire. But by means of that commandment sin found its chance to stir up all kinds of selfish desires in me. Apart from law, sin is a dead thing. I myself was once alive apart from law; but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life, and I died. And the commandment which was meant to bring life, in my case brought death. Sin found its chance, and by means of the commandment it deceived me and killed me. So then, the Law itself is holy, and the commandment is holy, right, and good. But does this mean that what is good caused my death? By no means! It was sin that did it; by using what is good, sin brought death to me, in order that its true nature as sin might be revealed. And so, by means of the commandment sin is shown to be even more terribly sinful. We know that the Law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin. I do not understand what I do; for I don't do what I would like to do, but instead I do what I hate. Since what I do is what I don't want to do, this shows that I agree that the Law is right. So I am not really the one who does this thing; rather it is the sin that lives in me. I know that good does not live in me — that is, in my human nature. For even though the desire to do good is in me, I am not able to do it. I don't do the good I want to do; instead, I do the evil that I do not want to do. If I do what I don't want to do, this means that I am no longer the one who does it; instead, it is the sin that lives in me. So I find that this law is at work: when I want to do what is good, what is evil is the only choice I have. My inner being delights in the law of God. But I see a different law at work in my body — a law that fights against the law which my mind approves of. It makes me a prisoner to the law of sin which is at work in my body. What an unhappy man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is taking me to death? Thanks be to God, who does this through our Lord Jesus Christ! This, then, is my condition: on my own I can serve God's law only with my mind, while my human nature serves the law of sin.”

See how dumb you are and gleefully assuming others are as silly as you. You're an apraxiac tool for not assimilating what taking a look at the mirror reflection delineates. You make an unfounded accusation and I told you that not everyone is as you. The only reason you'd assume I'm guilty is coz you're and I'm not a pathetic id1ot like your frustrated self. Now cease from spamming my mentions with drivels.

ronald4lif:
Pal, you shouldn't mistake me for the reflection in your mirror. Please desist from quoting me if you have nothing rational to say.

Why are you this dumb?


How does "reflection" on a mirror correlate with the topic of discussion?

Do "reflection" take place at night on a mirror?

If you had paid more attention during physics class back in your high school .. you probably wouldn't have erked a folly of yourself

ronald4lif:
When you make allegations you must be able to provide evidence. There's no way I can deny an obvious evidence. To know someone modified an original comment after it hits FP, another person must have quoted the previous unmodified one. So, reproduce any or you have to be careful how you flex your lepromatous thumbs next time.

Nigga... you've definitely been guilty of this somehow ..

there's no point trying to play on a congenial path
