TravelRe: Fast Pace Of Lagos-Ibadan Railway: Does FG Deserves #Accolades? by dragon2(m): 2:35pm On Jun 22, 2018
Lagos-Ibadan is meant to be standard gauge,the 'locomotive track' maybe for the track laying machine. For those who do not know about the track some education is neccesary....

.......The Lagos-Ibadan rail project, which has been awarded to China Civil Engineering Construction
Corporation (CCECC), and jointly funded by Nigeria and China, is the first phase of a new Lagos-Kano
standard gauge line. The old rail line stretched over 1,124 kilometres.......

....The entire Lagos-Kano stretch was first awarded in 2006 to the CCECC by President Olusegun Obasanjo
administration for $8.3 billion. The project suffered a setback when the administration of President Umaru
Yar’Adua, which succeeded Obasanjo’s in May 2007, said the contract was illegal, having not been
presented to the National Assembly for ratification. It was, however, re-awarded in 2012 by the
administration of President Goodluck Jonathan for execution in six phases starting with the Lagos-Ibadan
stretch....

TravelRe: Experts Urge FG To Review Minimum Aircraft Requirement For Airlines by dragon2(m): 7:37am On Jun 22, 2018
There is no need for that,we need competition.If someone with that 10 or so aircrafts come in,he wins the market simple. Eliminating the minimum requirements of 2 means disenfranchising local Nigerians from starting an airline and handing over the industry to foreigners. Let those with 10 and above come and compete.

How is that possible?
Most likely,she wasn't using the original charger.Most of these fake chargers in circulation have their dc-out lines(output to charger) very close to the ac-in lines(much closer than the rules say) as the PCB degrades (poor quality pcb) due to heat,they make contact and shock is assured,as well as possible damage to the phone.

Surely death shall come to us all


“And whoever kills a believer intentionally, his punishment is Hell; he shall abide in it, and Allah will send His wrath on him and curse him and prepare for him a painful chastisement.” (Surah an-Nisā’ 4:93)


Suicide is Murder

The Almighty Allah says:
“....and do not kill ourselves; surely Allah is Merciful to you. And whoever does this aggressively and unjustly, We will soon cast him into Fire; and this is easy for Allah.” (Surah an-Nisā’ 4:29-30)


So am I wonder which book ISIS, Bokoharam are reading
That last quote can be read differently because it is conditional. "......aggressively and unjustly.." .That is a problem for Muslims to solve.

Gaddafithe2nd:
I will keep on condemning this tradition. I don't know those that brought this idea. Women should keep bearing their father's name. A woman still has right in her father's house, whether married or not. Women aren't slave that you buy off.
So your husband's surname is obi,yours' is Kalu. What will your children's surname be? If they bear their fathers, how will people know you are the mother?

Christianity EtcRe: Can The Lord Forgive The Devil If He Confesses His Sins And Repents From Evil? by dragon2(m): 6:06pm On Mar 19, 2018
Gggg102:
if they were perfect how could they sin?
Sin is law breaking. God's goodwill and justice demands he give us freedom of choice. The perfection of the devil is not in choosing(if it was so then he is not a free independent agent in determining his fate)His perfection was chiefly in understanding and acting upon it.He had all the tools he needed to make the correct decision more perfectly and permanently than a great many.However,he chose himself over God despite his very clear natural ( not supernatural)vision and understanding of God.In doing this he sinned against the goodness of God by pride,seeking to be like God despite being his creature.
Knowing clearly the goodness of God he chose himself over God.
Christianity EtcRe: Can The Lord Forgive The Devil If He Confesses His Sins And Repents From Evil? by dragon2(m): 12:19pm On Mar 19, 2018
BluntTheApostle:
It is not pride. Even if the devil became humble, he can't be forgiven simply because Christ atoned for the sins of humans and not fallen angels like the devil. Christ was God's help extended towards us to atone for our sins. In this regard, God helps man but does not help angels. Christ's sacrifice does not cover the sins of fallen angels.

For surely it is not angels he helps, but Abraham's descendants. (Hebrews 2:16)

CC wrightangle83
Repentance is not offered to the fallen angels exactly because of their perfection of state when they sinned.The natural knowledge of things and the divine knowledge given to them was enough to make a decision devoid of our human weaknesses.There was no darkness of heart and mind(iniquity)in them when making that decision.hence the devils are the fathers of sin and cant repent.Their condemnation,which will be the condemnation of all who die without christ is this..
John 3.19
This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.

But adams children were born in sin with our hearts and minds darkened by iniquity hence the free grace of Christ came to enlighten us where sin has darkened.

Matthew 4:16
The people living in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned
John 8-12
I am the Light of the World. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but have the light of life.

The knowledge and love of God is what the Devils had known and rejected,what we have been given through repentance and we must not reject.

Ezekiel 28:14–15
You are the anointed cherub that covers; and I have set you so: you were upon the holy
mountain of God; you have walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. You were
perfect in your ways from the day that you were created, till iniquity was found in thee.

Isiah14:12-15
How are you fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How are you cut down to the
ground, which did weaken the nations! For you have said in your heart, I will ascend into
heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the
congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be
like the most High. Yet you shall be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.

It is also the sin of all humanists and evolutionary pantheists, from Adam's day to our day, for they seek to
do away with God and make "gods" out of "corruptible man." They have "worshipped and served the creature
more than the Creator" ( Romans 1:23 , 25).

But "pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall" (Proverbs 16:18 ). Our Lord of creation
is "above all gods," even in that "thing wherein they dealt proudly." The sin of pride was the very first sin and
is still the most difficult sin to overcome, but "God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble" (1
Peter 5:5 ).

My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior; Because He has regarded the lowliness of His handmaid; for behold, henceforth all generations shall call me blessed; ....He has scattered the proud in the conceit of their heart. He has put down the mighty from their thrones, and has exalted the lowly. He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent away empty.

Luke (1:46–55)

Pride.period. Just like some people are too proud to say I was wrong I am sorry.His case is more perfect and permanent.

if his knowledge is complete, why would he choose a fate that will doom him forever?
Pride. A capital sin. Knowing God he wanted to be like God.
Something we humans are doing to a lesser extent,having been given an understanding of God we prefer to be our own gods. Or do we pretend not to know the impending eternal doom?
His was more perfect however hence,more condemnable.
Christianity EtcRe: Can The Lord Forgive The Devil If He Confesses His Sins And Repents From Evil? by dragon2(m): 10:00pm On Mar 18, 2018
The devil is a spirit,and as a spirit he does not have our human weaknesses and emotions.
He does not struggle to learn and understand as we do.All the knowledge he needed to function was given to him upon his creation.His was made in perfection and his knowledge was complete.It is in this knowledge of God and creation he sinned.There is no repentance and regret in him because it requires admission of error.But his choice was made without our human emotions and with full knowledge of what he was doing.He chose himself before God in complete knowledge required for his being and cannot back down 'ever'. Hence,his judgement is fixed and eternal.

Christianity EtcRe: Blacks Are The Strongest Spiritually And Weakest Intellectually. by dragon2(m): 1:23pm On Mar 14, 2018
If that is true you wouldn't see black people leaving the largest black nation on earth (Nigeria) to out perform 'whites' in their own educational institutions, neither will you see 'yahoo yahoo' boys outsmarting whites in financial fraud. (They created the current financial system)
The black mans greatest problem is ethnicity and tribalism created by the 'scramble of Africa' where black were nations were divided across tribes and nations made from strange bedfellows.
This has resulted in a civilisation where meritocracy is thrown out of the window and the best are not allowed to rise and lead(Tribal politics). Europe was in a sea of wars until they lost their tribal identity or justice became the rule of law, the welsh,Scots,saxsons norman Germania tribes etc. Africa needs leaders that (not shun) but punish tribal politics and encourage both moral and intellectual meritocracy.
Christianity EtcRe: I'm Confused About Jesus :-[ by dragon2(m): 7:17am On Mar 14, 2018
There is only one God.One Godhead.When we speak of God we speak of divine substance.There are 3 persons that make the Godhead.The Father,the son and the Holy Spirit.Three persons one Godhead.That is why the scripture say at the beginning God said,Let "us" make...

Throne or seat means position not chair.God is spirit,he does not seat on material chairs.
The Throne is a position of holiness, Christ is seated next to God meaning he is the same as God or simply he is God.

The closest analogy I can think of is us humans,while being 7billion strong we are but one nature ,equal in every way,one race sharing all human nature together begotten and giving birth to by each other serving each other and being served in time.
That our species is not united in all things like the trinity is the reason why we find it hard to understand them. If we understood what we share it common as humans understanding the trinity would have been a bit more easy.

The Trinity,One Godhead,One divinity,One substance.Three person equal in Glory and position. Agree in all things, act together in all things.
