Nairaland GeneralRe: Access Bank Release My Funds by dikenna(op): 12:17pm On Sep 22, 2018
I just finished speaking with Access bank again. So the transaction was an inflow from MMM. According to them the person who sent the money said it was an erroneous transfer. That she was trying to pay school fees and mistakenly sent the money to my account. I told them that it is not possible. This is because if you are sending money it will show the name of the recipient. And my name is not a school name. So even if the school account number is very similar to my own (which they did not tell me it is), it would have shown a name. They said I must contact the person first to get it resolved. How can I do that when the MMM site is closed. If they had told me last year when they put the account on hold, I would have shown them evidence of where she was merged to pay me in MMM. I asked them to give me the contact of the person so I can know why she would recall funds she paid. They refused and said I must get it myself.. I told them I also lost a lot of money that period to MMM and it is very bad for them to add to it now. They refused and said I must get it myself.

Nairaland GeneralAccess Bank Release My Funds by dikenna(op): 10:53am On Sep 22, 2018
Please if you have an account with access bank make sure you get it to a zero balance periodically to avoid this headache they are giving me now. Some days back I tried to get my account to a zero balance and realised I could not. When I ccontacted then I was informed they held on to my funds since march 2017! They did this without informing me in anyway or even reducing my balance accordingly. I asked them why and they said it was because someone who paid money into my account then recalled the funds. That I should go and contact the person. I told them I dont have anyway of contacting the person. If they had informed me when they put the hold I may have still had the contact then. Moreover, the transaction they were talking about was a valid transaction. They have refused to give me more details. All they say is they cannot release the funds. Please help me beg them to release my money

Forum GamesRe: Who Is The Survivor In The Puzzle? by dikenna: 11:17am On Sep 02, 2017
Guy you too much. You are Albert Einstein reincarnated. Abeg I need you to teach me more maths skills
Enouwem:
73 is the answer!

How?

Consider a case when there 2^numbers in circle. Each time the number reduces by half and finally at the last number 1 will remain.
example – 2^2 = 4
round 1 – 2 and 4 will be killed.
round 2 – 3 will be killed. One Remains

So our aim here should be to reach to a figure when 2^n number will come and person who will be holding the sword at that moment will survive.

when there are 100 people – closet 2^number will be 64.
so here our target it to find the person who is holding the sword when 64 people are remaining.

64 people remaining means 36 people killed.
As every alternate person is being killed so double of 36 i.e 72. So 72 person was killed at that moment and the sword was passed to 73 from 71 after killing 72.

so the moment when 64 people were remaining, 73 was holding the sword,
so 73 will survive the killings!!!

.
.
.
.
.

OR,

Use the Circular Left Shift method

There are 100 people.
100 in binary is 1100100.
Circular left shift 1100100.
We get 1001001.
Convert it back to base 10.
73rd is the last man standing.


OR,

MATHAMATICAL WAY THAT EVERY NIGERIAN WILL UNDERSTAND

First 1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15,17;19,21,23,25,27,29,31,33,35,37,39,41,43,45,47,49,51,53,55,57,59,61,63,65,67,69,71,73,75,77,79,81,83,85,87,89,91,93,95,97,99(got sword, passed to 1)

Then 1,5,9,13,17,21,25,29,33,37,41,45,49,53,57,61,65,69,73,77,81,85,89,93,97(sword passed to again)

Then 1,9,17,25,33,41,49,57,65,73,81,89,97(sword passed to 9)

Then 9,25,41,57,73,89(sword passed to 9 again)

Then 9,41,73(sword passed to 9 again)

Then 9,73(73 got sword & killed 9)

Thus the answer is “73"



Oh! And for the programmers or coders.

PYTHON CODE

# find the survivor
n = 100
peeps = range(1, n+1)
idx = 0
while len(peeps) > 1:
peeps.pop((idx + 1) % len(peeps))
# Trivia: because of changing index and len(peeps),
# the code below is not exactly equal to "idx = (idx + 1) % len(peeps)"
idx = 0 if (idx >= len(peeps)-1) else (idx + 1)

print peeps[0]


Output: 73


JAVASCRIPT

// populate the array for 100 people
var team = new Array();
for (var i = 1; i <= 100; i++) {
team[i - 1] = i;
}

var current;
var next;

var j = 0.
while (team.length > 1) { // loop until only 1 exists
current = team[j];
team.push(team[j]); // move current to the end
team.shift(); // remove from existing
next = team[j];
team.shift(); // delete next
document.writeln("Number " + current + " kills number " + next + "<br />"wink;
}
document.writeln("The last one is number " + team[0]);
//alert(team[0]);

Christianity EtcRe: "What Does The Bible Say About The Virgin Mary?" by dikenna: 6:29pm On Oct 12, 2014
dabriggs:
Ha ha ha...Ok so when the bible says

''While He was still speaking to the crowds, behold, His mother and brothers were standing outside, seeking to speak to Him.Someone said to Him, "Behold, Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside seeking to speak to You...''

and

''Isn't this the carpenter? Isn't this Mary's son and the brother of James, Joseph, Judas and Simon? Aren't his sisters here with us?" And they took offense at him''.


It could have meant his relatives with his mother?

ha ha ha okay fine. So let us assume that suddenly it was just his cousins with his mother, are we saying Joseph who never divorced her did not sleep with Mary? Are we saying they did not or would not have had sexual contact? Did God expressly remove the desire for sex from Mary who is human? Or was Joseph staying with her forever without the desire of having sex with her?

If these things are almost impossible, then are we saying Mary lost the ability to give birth after Christ was born?
think of it objectively urself. Will jesus handover his mother to john and say woman behold your son, is she had any other son? (John 19:26). Furthermore, if jesus had any siblings (sister in particular) wouldn't they be with his mother at the foot of the cross at his dying moments? If a woman that is not his biological sister could take the risk and wipe his face with a cloth on his toturous journey to death does it make sense that is he had any biological sister at that time she wouldn't be mentioned? Food for thot my brother

Christianity EtcRe: "What Does The Bible Say About The Virgin Mary?" by dikenna: 12:31pm On Oct 12, 2014
OLAADEGBU:
Question: "What does the Bible say about the virgin Mary?"

Answer: Mary the mother of Jesus was described by God as "highly favoured" (Luke 1:28). The phrase "highly favoured" comes from a single Greek word, which essentially means "much grace." Mary received God’s grace.

Grace is "unmerited favour," meaning something we receive despite the fact that we do not deserve it. Mary needed grace from God just as the rest of us do. Mary herself understood this fact, as she declared in Luke 1:47, “. . . and my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour. . .”

Mary recognized that she needed the Saviour. The Bible never says that Mary was anyone but an ordinary human whom God chose to use in an extraordinary way. Yes, Mary was a righteous woman and favoured (graced) by God (Luke 1:27-28). At the same time, Mary was a sinful human being who needed Jesus Christ as her Saviour, just like everyone else (Ecclesiastes 7:20; Romans 3:23; 6:23; 1 John 1:8.)

Mary did not have an "immaculate conception." The Bible doesn’t suggest Mary’s birth was anything but a normal human birth. Mary was a virgin when she gave birth to Jesus (Luke 1:34-38), but the idea of the perpetual virginity of Mary is unbiblical. Matthew 1:25, speaking of Joseph, declares, "But he had no union with her until she gave birth to a son. And he gave Him the name Jesus."

The word "until" clearly indicates that Joseph and Mary did have sexual union after Jesus was born. Joseph and Mary had several children together after Jesus was born. Jesus had four half-brothers: James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas (Matthew 13:55). Jesus also had half-sisters, although they are not named or numbered (Matthew 13:55-56). God blessed and graced Mary by giving her several children, which in that culture was the clearest indication of God’s blessing on a woman.

One time when Jesus was speaking, a woman in the crowd proclaimed, "Blessed is the womb that bore You and the breasts at which You nursed" (Luke 11:27). There was never a better opportunity for Jesus to declare that Mary was indeed worthy of praise and adoration. What was Jesus’ response? "On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the word of God and observe it" (Luke 11:28). To Jesus, obedience to God’s Word was more important than being the woman who gave birth to the Saviour.

Nowhere in Scripture does Jesus, or anyone else, direct any praise, glory, or adoration towards Mary. Elizabeth, Mary’s relative, praised Mary in Luke 1:42-44, but her praise is based on the blessing of giving birth to the Messiah. It was not based on any inherent glory in Mary.

Mary was present at the cross when Jesus died (John 19:25). Mary was also with the apostles on the day of Pentecost (Acts 1:14). However, Mary is never mentioned again after Acts chapter 1. The apostles did not give Mary a prominent role. Mary’s death is not recorded in the Bible. Nothing is said about Mary ascending to heaven or having an exalted role there. As the earthly mother of Jesus, Mary should be respected, but she is not worthy of our worship or adoration.

The Bible nowhere indicates that Mary can hear our prayers or that she can mediate for us with God. Jesus is our only advocate and mediator in heaven (1 Timothy 2:5). If offered worship, adoration, or prayers, Mary would say the same as the angels: "Worship God!" (see Revelation 19:10; 22:9.) Mary herself sets the example for us, directing her worship, adoration, and praise to God alone: "My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour, for He has been mindful of the humble state of His servant. From now on all generations will call me blessed, for the Mighty One has done great things for me — holy is His name" (Luke 1:46-49).

my brother. Read this and u will understand that mary had only jesus as her biological son. www.catholic.com/tracts/brethren-of-the-lord. A summary of what is there are as follows: 1. The meaning of brother in the bible can also be an extended relative e.g gen 13:8 where brother was used to describe the relationship between abraham and lot who are uncle and nephew. Also 1 cor. 15:6 doesn't mean that mary gave birth to 500 children even tho they are all called brethren of christ. 2. These brothers were never once called children of mary the mother of jesus. 3. There are other women in the bible called mary. James nd joseph who are called jesus' "brothers" (mark 6:3) are indeed children of Mary but not the blessed Mary who bore Jesus. This mary was among those who witnessed the crucifixion from afar (matt 27:56) while the blessed Mary stood by the cross(john 19:25). So u see, christ had no biological brothers.

MEILYN: 1. The deceased are deceased,
unlike friends/ pastors here who are alive.
2. The Bible says not to contact the deceased.
3. The Bible does give examples of asking the non-deceased to
pray.
4. The Bible does not even hint that the dead have omniscience or anything close to it.

I am not dismissing Marys importance, but the facts are clear: She was not a part of the Gospel message. There are no references to her leading people to Jesus, answering prayers, etc.

The dead cannot pray for you.
Mary was the woman who made Jesus start performing miracles before his time. (The wedding at Cana. John 2; 1-11.)Jesus clearly told her it wasn't his time. However, becos she asked He went ahead and performed his first miracle. That's how powerful she is. She can turn things around in your favour. If only you will let her.

texanomaly: The Catholic bible is different. I mentioned something to a Catholic friend of mine once from the KJV of the Bible. She said it was not in hers. We compared the two. Sure enough the passage was different. Not just worded differently, but saying the same thing. It had a totally different meaning.
Pls, except u can tell us exactly what book, chapter(s) and verse(s) u and ur friend compared that were both worded differently and had different meanings, u don't need to tell a blatant lie to prove a point.

utumunta: This is what you get when you put extremists in positions of Authority. From Nasir Faggae, Kwankwaso, Ahmadinejad to Buhari, what we have are men who must have their way against the collective good of the people.
Nigerian students, whenever your lecturers decide to call off the strike and you get back to school; ensure that those lecturers who do not know what they teach, demand for monetary or sexual gratification, guilty of plagiarism and pretended intellectuals are exposed for the frauds that they are. It is high time they are held accountable and made to up their ante. Government cannot fulfill their own side of the bargain with the lecturers only for the students to be shortchanged by lecturers. Since ASUU is interested in arresting the decay in the education sector, let the students help and arrest the rot within their various universities. Say no to the culture of impunity pervading our universities, occassioned by the lecturers.
This is a nice one but the major question here is are the students ready to read? Exposing the inadequacies of the lectures would also expose that of the students too. Truth be told there are even students who go seducing lecturers for marks. So its a two way thing. Very sad situation occuring in our tertiary institutions
