this topic should have made fp.mods pls do the needful dragnet honsule Seun honeric01 semid4lyfe

over to you shekau, can't you allow mubi to host the tournament?

lol

Morocco will not host the
2015 Africa Cup of nations,
it has emerged. Instead, the
country has asked for the
tournament to be shifted to
2016 to prevent the
possible spread of the Ebola virus disease that has
ravaged three countries in west Africa.
It is evident that Caf will now need to shop for new
hosts, less than two months to the start of the
tournament on January 17, 2015.
In a press release by the sports minister
Mohammed Ouzzine, Morocco maintained its call
for the tournament to be postponed to 2016, while
the next tournament would hold in 2017 to enable it
return to its regular odd year format.
Morocco suggested that it could be done since Caf
held back-to-back tournaments in 2012 and 2013,
when it was shifted to the odd year.
During a parliamentary session on Tuesday,
Morocco’s sports minister was quoted as saying:
“The Kingdom has no intention of giving in to the
injunctions of CAF because the health risk is too
large.”
Surely embarrassed by this last minute change, Caf
is expected to meet on November 11 where it
would announce replacement hosts for the
tournament.
While South Africa and Ghana have opted against
hosting the tournament, Goal exclusively reported
that Nigeria were interested a fortnight ago.
Reports also indicate that 2010 hosts, Angola,
could be a possible option.
Caf would also decide on punishment for Morocco’s
late no show which would be seen as a betrayal of
trust seeing that the country would host the Fifa
Club World Cup next month.
The World Health Organisation has not expressly
ruled out large gatherings as against what the
Moroccan authorities have put out.
Morocco’s football will be the poorer as it is
expected to be banned for four years from all
continental competitions as well as the payment of
a huge fine.
The final round of qualifying matches for the 2015
Afcon will take place on November 15 and
19 across the continent while Caf has already asked
interested media to apply for accreditation to cover
the tournament.

OK ur story dey FP now .

Please my people of nairaland, I need your advice on what step to take on this situation.



Please no insults, I just need an advice.
I am an engineer by profession, I worked as a consultant in a company some years back until I got this present job. Truth be told I was happy when I was called for an interview in a much bigger company where I presumed I will make a career. First I remember I submitted my CV to a friend who promised to hook me up with a better job, and sometime this year he called to advice I study for a test but refused to tell me the company n type of test I should prepare for. To cut off the long story, sometime last month, I was called in for an interview for the proposed job, I was elated and took an undermined risk of travelling for the interview. On reaching the office the next day, I was impressed at the company and the level of organisation in the company. I was interviewed, I performed and I was told that I will be briefed when I resume. Waow I already got the job which was what I told myself because of the way I saw how impressed the interviewers looked. Finally I got the job with an offer of below a hundred and forty thousand as gross salary, I later realized that I was employed as an office assistant, me an engineer a formal manager and to grease the elbow, it was stated in my offer letter and I was to serve a dozen of young engineers in my office. I resumed with total equality but realised that I was way below the food chain and the young stars didn't waste time to clear me on that. One of them yesterday even told me I would help him make some deposit at d bank and all that, and even went on to say that it was part of my job description. Now I know I don't have to envy which is non of my business, it's already 14 days into the job and I feel my dignity has been tramped and I may not have a quick rise here. Let me halt here but will share more ordeal I have passed through in this few days if you care.

Please I just need to know what you people think and what you have to advice either for me to get out of this situation or another.

sir you can just stay at this job and be applying for new ones.forget the fact that the other younger engineers are forming boss.with time you will get a new and better job but abandoning this one is not the right thing to do

hmm....your case is serious but I have something to say .I can't give right now because am still under my parents. but I would like to Advise you to start making the right confessions. you will not and cannot die.always say you are alive and well.God can do it for you as he has done it for others.your life is beautiful. you have a purpose on earth and it will not be cut short.

October 31 st every year is celebrated as
Halloween day. But for Christians, a major
controversy surrounds the question, “Should you
and I be involved in the celebration of
Halloween?”
Getting an answer to this question has been an
interesting journey in itself. After I searched
various websites and asked people what they
thought about this topic, what I found was an
agreement on the origins of Halloween, but a
mixture of suggestions about allowing our
children to take part in this super-charged media
driven holiday.
The origins of Halloween are Celtic in tradition
and have to do with observing the end of summe
sacrifices to gods in Druidic tradition. In what is
now Britain and France, it was the beginning of
the Celtic year, and they believed Samhain, the
lord of death, sent evil spirits abroad to attack
humans, who could escape only by assuming
disguises and looking like evil spirits themselves.
The waning of the sun and the approach of dark
winter made the evil spirits rejoice and play nast
tricks. Believe it or not, most of our Halloween
practices can be traced back to these old pagan
rites and superstitions.
But what about today? Perhaps we can still learn
from history. In the fourth century, Christians
attempted to co-opt the holiday by celebrating
the lives of faithful Christian saints the day befor
Halloween. This was a conscious attempt to
provide an alternative and re-focus the day away
from ghouls, goblins, ghosts, witches and other
“haunted” experiences. Since that time many
Christians have decided to allow their children to
dress in more “innocent” costumes of pumpkins,
princesses, Superman or as a cowboy. Part of
this is due to the simple reality that in today’s
Western culture it is nearly impossible to “avoid”
Halloween.
But what does Wicca, the official religion of
witchcraft, has to say about Halloween. Perhaps
they viewed the day as a simple fun and innocen
neighborhood activity?
“Shock” is the only word to describe this.
Halloween is a real, sacred day for those who
follow Wicca. In fact, it is one of two high and
holy days for them. The Celtic belief of spirits
being released is current, along with the worship
of Samhain (the lord of death) – both are
promoted as something to embrace on that day.
There is no question in my mind that to those
who believe and follow the practices of
witchcraft, Halloween represents an opportunity
to embrace the evil, devilish, dark side of the
spiritual world.
So after discovering this, what is a reasonable
conclusion? As Christians you and I are placed in
this world to be a light in a world of darkness.
There is no lasting benefit to ignore a holiday
that exists around us, but it also does harm to
celebrate Halloween as it has originated and
grown over the centuries.
My suggestion? Christians should be teaching
their children (age appropriately) that:
there is a spiritual world filled with goodness
from God and evil from Satan (Eph. 2:1-10);
life with Christ has power over darkness (I Jo
4:4); and
those who celebrate Halloween either are
unaware of its roots, or are intentionally
promoting a world where evil is lauded and
viewed as an ultimate power.
To counter the evil influence of Halloween, we
need to join together and celebrate the reality of
the heroic efforts of Christian saints over the evil
in their day. Many leaders in the past — and
present — have fulfilled the mandate of
destroying the works of the devil through their
sacrificial commitment to Christ and His
Kingdom.
Too, rather than “hide” in the face of evil, we
should unabashedly and boldly create an
alternative that is positive and uplifting; that
celebrates good over evil and the triumph of God
over Satan. We need to provide an environment
that also makes room for heaps of fun while
using the day as a “teachable moment” to
celebrate God’s protection, provision and purpose
for our lives.
