erico2k2:It actually is, I quoted a report on the Abuja-Kaduna Standard guage on premium times.Not the western or eastern narrow guage lines, and the thread is about the standard guage line. Just dont confuse both sets of lines. one set was overhauled by GEJ,running parrallel accross Nigeria while the other stands on its own between Abuja and Kaduna,( I think there is one between delta steel and the itakpe mine, i am not sure). |
erico2k2:The "old " narrow guage rail network was completely revamped by GEJ, both the western and eastern line. The repair of the eastern line stopped at the point where the bokoharam conflict was raging. The video show the old network. The new faster standard guage line isthe first in West-Africa. Obasanjo attempted to start the project,but the funding requirements was too much. Hence when jonathan came in he was adviced by his team to break it up in segments starting with the kaduna -abuja standard guage segment. This guage(standard) is faster than the narrow guage that was completely overhauled by GEJ. |
“The rail stations, the signaling, the communications and part of d tracks were done and completed by the Buhari administration,” he said. .... Jonathan did the rest. QED |
In an apparent bid to douse the tension flaring between the two camps, Mr. Amaechi took to his Twitter handle to weigh in on the matter, saying the project was, in fact, conceived by President Olusegun Obasanjo, who left office nine years ago, and received contributions from successive governments. “The rail contract was awarded by President Obasanjo, partially executed by President Jonathan and completed by President Buhari,” Mr. Amaechi said. Mr. Amaechi’s tweet elicited criticism from mostly PDP supporters, who said the minister was being disingenuous. They said Mr. Amaechi left out the fact that the train project was awarded by Mr. Jonathan in 2011 through counterpart funding with a Chinese construction firm at the rate of $874 million. The PDP also posted a link to a December 2014 Chinese news report suggesting the project was completed in December 2014, after Mr. Amaechi’s predecessor in the ministry reportedly bolted the last knot on the tracks. But Mr. Amaechi held his ground, saying a lot of efforts were put into the completion by the APC government. “The rail stations, the signaling, the communications and part of d tracks were done and completed by the Buhari administration,” he said. http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/207628-abuja-kaduna-rail-project-partially-executed-jonathan-amaechi.html |
The Mishnah (c. 200) may refer to Jesus and reflect the early Jewish traditions of portraying Jesus as a sorcerer or magician. [87][88][89][90] Other references to Jesus and his execution exist in the Talmud , but they aim to discredit his actions, not deny his existence.

...."The Roman historian and senator Tacitus referred to Christ , his execution by Pontius Pilate , and the existence of early Christians in Rome in one page of his final work, Annals (written ca. AD 116), book 15, chapter 44. [1] The context of the passage is the six-day Great Fire of Rome that burned much of the city in AD 64 during the reign of Roman Emperor Nero . [2] The passage is one of the earliest non-Christian references to the origins of Christianity , the execution of Christ described in the canonical gospels , and the presence and persecution of Christians in 1st-century Rome. [3][4] Scholars generally consider Tacitus' reference to the execution of Jesus by Pontius Pilate to be both authentic, and of historical value as an independent Roman source. [5][6][7] Eddy and Boyd state that it is now "firmly established" that Tacitus provides a non-Christian confirmation of the crucifixion of Jesus . [8] Historian Ronald Mellor has stated that the Annals is "Tacitus's crowning achievement" which represents the "pinnacle of Roman historical writing". [9] Scholars view it as establishing three separate facts about Rome around AD 60: (i) that there were a sizable number of Christians in Rome at the time, (ii) that it was possible to distinguish between Christians and Jews in Rome, and (iii) that at the time pagans made a connection between Christianity in Rome and its origin in Roman Judea. [10][11]".... |
mmsen:Try and apply history. ....."The extant manuscripts of the writings of the 1st-century Romano -Jewish historian Flavius Josephus include references to Jesus and the origins of Christianity . [1][2] Josephus' Antiquities of the Jews, written around 93–94 AD, includes two references to the biblical Jesus Christ in Books 18 and 20 and a reference to John the Baptist in Book 18. [1][3] Scholarly opinion varies on the total or partial authenticity of the reference in Book 18, Chapter 3, 3 of the Antiquities , a passage that states that Jesus the Messiah was a wise teacher who was crucified by Pilate , usually called the Testimonium Flavianum . [4][5][1] The general scholarly view is that while the Testimonium Flavianum is most likely not authentic in its entirety, it is broadly agreed upon that it originally consisted of an authentic nucleus, which was then subject to Christian expansion/alteration. [5][6][7][8][9][10] Although the exact nature and extent of the Christian redaction remains unclear, [11] there is broad consensus as to what the original text of the Testimonium by Josephus would have looked like. [9] Modern scholarship has largely acknowledged the authenticity of the reference in Book 20, Chapter 9, 1 of the Antiquities to "the brother of Jesus, who was called Christ, whose name was James" [12] and considers it as having the highest level of authenticity among the references of Josephus to Christianity. [13][1][2][14] [15][16] Almost all modern scholars consider the reference in Book 18, Chapter 5, 2 of the Antiquities to the imprisonment and death of John the Baptist also to be authentic and not a Christian interpolation. [17][18] [19] The references found in Antiquities have no parallel texts in the other work by Josephus such as the Jewish War, written 20 years earlier, but some scholars have provided explanations for their absence. [20] A number of variations exist between the statements by Josephus regarding the deaths of James and John the Baptist and the New Testament accounts. [17][21] Scholars generally view these variations as indications that the Josephus passages are not interpolations, for a Christian interpolator would have made them correspond to the New Testament accounts, not differ from them.

Good friday is the day we were delivered from the power of sin and death. Easter Sunday is the day that guarantees us we will rise from the grave as jesus rose, if we remain in him. Ascension thursday (holy thurday) is the day that guarantees us that we will ascend into heaven,as christ did if we remain in him. |
It is the day christ delivered us from the power of sin and death, so it is a Good day. |
pat077:Apply fertilizer at 2wks (accelerated vegetative growth) and 8 wks ( between v8 and vt) applicarion should be done AFTER weeding.If you can find DAP( di amonium phosphate) use it first because of the high nitrogen and phospate requirements of maize. If not go for NPK. You can use NPK on second application. |
The fact that it has no wind-shield suggests it's automated.If so,it is not a thing of beauty but another machine to replace humans, create poverty while feeding few super wealthy people. Disgusting. |
Ewamide:I am sure you meant a bag and half for 300 birds |
So, who will deal with the rats now? |
The president OBJ is talking about, according to same, did not generate an extra megawatt of power to what already existed. (3500mw). |
ActivateKruger:We can only watch with a tinge of green. :-D The Egyptians get quite a kick with $1B US military aid. While the Algerians are 40m people producing 1.1bbl of oil.Thats lots of cash for both nations.Only Morocco is punching above its weight up there. |
wow, a tucano is $9 million (based on quantity).Reminds me of a certain Andrew. |
The Mwari to me is more suited to interdiction than to CAS(Close Air Support).It looks like it won't be able to handled the torque required for sharp turns if faced by AAA'also the engine power difference is great.1600hp tucano to 950Mwari. I know the one I want to be in when engaging AAA. However I would get it definitely for patrol and standoff interdiction.In contrast the supertucano is pre-eminently set up for CAS,it most definitely looks like a WW2 aircraft and can enter a medium intensity AAA battle space. If CAS tucano,if Interdiction both tactical and strategic you can get MWARI. |
There is a saying 'one mans good is another mans poison' hence the supreme Good, all men are to seek is that good which does not turn to poison for its neighbour, a good ready to annihilate itself for all mankind and each particular man.Anything less like,self or knowledge, brings discord,various 'isms', and a slow plunge into depravity. |
niyihawking:Global good,good for all,supreme good. |
realmindz:Knowledge is not Wisdom. Knowledge without morality is depravity.The scientists that worked on nuclear physics and E=mc2 sort knowledge, but human depravity turned that formular into missiles that can wipe us out in hrs. For the survival of the human specie morality must be first and very far ahead of knowledge. The supreme moral Good is God. God must be sort first even without knowledge as Christ says......Seek ye first the kingdom of God and all will be added to you. |
As the apostle said Love builds up but knowledge puffs up. |
knowledge in itself is neither good or bad but by loving it ardently you withdraw love from your fellow man whom knowledge is meant to serve and hence society exalts knowledge while plunging into depravity.Love of Christ leads to love of neighbour which develops society and with proper control of knowledge exalts society,but only if Christ is first. |
The will adoring the mind/knowledge is a moral disorder. Morality must be first is man,if not he is nothing more than an intelligent animal yes, but an animal nonetheless. It is the ability to accept a superior global good that belongs to the will.This is clouded by knowledge which tends to puff up and dry the spirit. God cannot be found in a disordered soul. Take small steps to revive the soul.Say The lords prayer about 10x a day.A short simple but power prayer constructed by God himself.It is the prayer of all beginners in the spiritual,also powerful for the advance during sterility. |
Love of knowledge has trumped love of morality.Reorder yourself, raise your will above your mind.What has happened is that your will(the appetitive function) has been enslaved by your mind(rational function). |
I see tommy,whisky,Sasha,Rex but but...where is bingo? |
And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from every evil. |
When it comes to demons pray for protection period.. |
Intrepid01:4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ . 5 I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt , afterward destroyed them that believed not....... .....8 Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh , despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities. 9 Yet Michael the archangel , when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses , durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee. 10 But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves. 11 Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core. |
Why do we want to go to heaven while sending people to hell?This was the exact opposite of Christ and the saints who quietly endured persecutions while doing everything to drag people kicking and screaming into heaven even if it meant their incarceration torture and death. |
...Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us...... Very heavy words.If you do not forgive those who have sinned against you neither will God.Before you bring your gifts to his altar go and make peace with those whom you have a grudge so that your offering will be accepted |
darkenkach:All of humanity is christs' property because he tasted death for all men. Yes,including our enemies. He loves them all,and while we were all committing evil he died for us. Knowing all our future sins he still accepted the punishment. There is no sin committed against us that he is not ready to forgive our enemies because he died for their sins. |
Basically by praying for their death we are hastening their path to hell(those who Christ died a pain full death for and so wants them with him in heaven )adding more souls to the devils kingdom. And we really want to go to heaven after sending others hastily to hell? It is only those who have a presumption that they are heaven bound that build such doctrines. A creation of self righteousness |
