shogz89: Am not trying to support any body here... But all I want is change ,,, pdp have monopolised that position with nobody capable of dethroning them up until now,, if there are competitions like this in every election I believe ruling party will sit tight and do something meaningful while in that position..... Whether you like it or not their are massive development in all states apc dethroned pdp in the last election simply because they don't want to loose it any more,,, if such happens in the federal level be it pdp or apc (frequent changing of power due to competition) I tell you in an unbelievable pace will Nigeria move

I like your school of thought, but the problem now is, the so called APC we thought was going to be our Messiah is now polluted and manipulated by the same set of greedy politicians controlling PDP.

its no longer the APC we knew before. They now have plenty guudfadas there whom the President have to obey, instead of the wish of the masses. Whoever wins in APC will be there to protect the interest of these guudfadas and not Nigerians.

sammhi: If this report is true, then all the news about GEJ not performing has been all a grand strategy to destabilise him so that the North can have its power back. Tambuwal that his House of reps stinks of corruption will now be installed by OBJ, TINUBU, IBB etc. so that they can continue to fleece Nigeria and Nigerians...lets see sha.
When shall all these merry go round stop? Same group of politicians ruling and yet no progress. What is the difference between Tambuwal and OBJ ,GEJ? same people, same party .just label change....
did Tambuwal change of party makes him a different man? NO ! it does not ..it is still same corrupt Tambuwal out to serve the wishes of the caliphate, himself and power brokers.!
We need a radical departure from these IBB, OBJ,GEJ,TAMBUWAl set up ..same people, no difference. how can the nation progress with same set of corrupt , visionless ,greedy and self serving people .
time to reject these people

I belief the wisest thing for Nigerians to do is to vote GEJ, this man has stepped on toes to bring positive change to this country, those who feel Nigeria is their own and want to still take its resources are ganging up to manipulate things. If this APC wins, we will go backward as a Nation because the past leaders who have drained this country off its resources especially the oil (from oil wells) still want to have them.
I heard the licenses they have to this Wells are expiring 2013, they are ganging up to have them back, hence their fight with GEJ, not PDP.

We as Nigeria ns, we should be wise. I also wonder why our leaders are so greedy to be owning oil Wells when we voted them into power to manage our resources. just wonder why we pretend as if we don't know this truth and we are quiet about it.

Nigeria belongs to us all, any group that says they own Nigeria should be made irrelevant and we have the power to do so by our votes.

pls I'm interested in buying as well, anybody with useful information. Thanks

QEFRAN6: Hmmmmm! It baffles me somuch wen dese physicians brag abt them being d all in all were as they r nothg if u take a close look at them,esp the new ones in the system today...u all knw that u cannot and will never be able to operate alone without the help of other health profefesionals...all u guys do is assumption and without the med.lab sct who corrects and put u on the right tract thro a test,and the pharmacist too corrects the nonsense u scrible down in the name of prescription,while the nurses takes absolute care of the patients in the wards...only God knws how many ppl ul b killing per day.All u guys do in the hospital as far as I'm concern is pen down the patients data and history of which any secretary can do that perfectly...why on earth do u want to be were u shdnt?...its time u guys get another parking lott as uv occupied other ppls space for so long and the owners are back and ready to occupy their space...if u guys can operate alone,why on earth did u discharge patients from the wards and refuse admitting new ones while the other health workers went on strike...y can't u guys accept the truth for once?

my friend, I think you are talking out of ignorance so I dont fault your line of reasoning.
I am a doctor and I'm currently replying you from the Hospital.

About the points you raised, I want you to know the following;
1. We studied for 6 years to cover all the areas of healthcare including Anatomy, Biochemistry, Physiology, Pharmacology (which the pharmacists studied), Parasitology, Microbiology, Haematology, Chemical pathology and Anatological pathology (which the MedLab scientists studied.
2. we have an indepth knowledge about the above areas as we studied them, wrote professional exams at BSc level and passed before the Medicine, surgery, paediatrics, obstetrics and Gynaecology and even community health (which is important to World Health Organisation). thats why they awarded us with MBBS degree, meaning Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery. Even, most developed countries call it Doctor of Medicine because the curriculum we run is too large for a bachelor degree.
3. The reason why we work with nurses, pharmacists, Lab technicians, etc is so that we can have time to concentrate on our work and do it efficiently. In otherwords, nurses, pharmacists, lab scientist, etc are there to help us with our work.
4. A doctor can therefore do all of that, we dont stay in the hospital to write down notes for them to treat. we diagnose, we run investigations, we workout treatment plans and carry them out. but we are beginning to relief ourselves of most of these duties because of them.
5. For th e nurses, they learnt from us, we tell them what to do, thats why they carryout only our plans. they are not directly involved in patient treatment. but as you have it, constantly taking instructions from some1 and carrying out those plans gives you knowledge about that thing (I'm not saying they didnt go to school but they did so that they can be efficient at doing that).
7. The fact that these healthworkers have gone to read and get degrees on those areas doesnt make them equal to us and should therefore demand to do what we do.

hope you were able to get one or two things from my writeup and see why what they are demanding is wrong. its like your house help who has come to know issues about your family and therefore go to study (but not totally) to now say he / she wants to be the head of your family.

ehizo25: Somebody please summarize the demands of the striking federal medical workers. And why is the government so notorious for failing to fulfill its promises?

Reminds me of Napoleon Bonaparte saying: "make many promises but don't fulfill them"

The politicians know understand that strategy very well.

The striking health workers include Nurses, Pharmacists, laboratory technicians, mortishians, etc except doctors.
What I keep hearing concerning the demands of these workers amongst others is that;
they want equal salaries with doctors when they have been promoted to a certain level. that is, a grade 10 nurse shud be paid the sqme salary the doctors are receiving.

secondly, I alsoheard they want the federal govt to make the post of the Chief Medical Doctor open to any health worker and not just doctors.

Personally, I do it for spiritual reasons and have trained myself that way.

When you fast(stay without food), you give your spirit man more dominance over your body and therefore, you become more alert spiritually to hear and receive from God.

when you feed your body continually without fasting and praying, your body dominates your spirit. This is one of the reasons why someone can sleep in church even when he(his spirit) wants to shY awake to hear the Word of God.

In other to hear and receive easily, you should train yourself to fast while engaging in any spiritual exercise especially if you are on the receiving side.
For those who do work in church, its ok if they take a light meal.

I also recommend that we(as Christians) fast(stay without food and water from 6am to 6pm) at least once a month. This is because fasting is beneficial to your spirit as well as your physical body.
There are some illnesses that can be avoided by fasting regularly.

1121: I think it makes u spiritually alart. Though is not an habit that is easy to cultivate, but once cultivated, u will not only limit it to sunday but extend it to other days of d wk. I think it aids concentration and position ur spirit man easily for divine blessing

you are right.

It seems you guys didn't read and understand what they said above.
The reason they banned the drugs especially sulphadoxine/pyrimethamine was because it could cause resistance(meaning the drug will N̶̲̥̅̊t work again) when its N̶̲̥̅̊t taken as recommended by the doctors.
The drug above Íڪ very good and Íڪ mostly prescribed for pregnant women and must be swallowed in front f the doctor prescribing it each time she comes for antenatal visit. This way, it prevents the resistance.

Artesunate works fine too, and must also be taken for 7days to prevent resistance.

I think what we should be concerned about Íڪ how to educate the populace N̶̲̥̅̊t to stop taking any drug, N̶̲̥̅̊t just anti-malaria when they feel better but to take all the doses prescribed by the doctor.

littleb: I think God that didn't allow Abraham to kill his own son as sacrifice should not allow His own "son" to be sacrificed and killed over some people's sin.

“And (for) their saying: ‘Indeed we have killed The Messiah, Jesus the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah’. And they did not kill him, nor did they crucify him but (another) that was made to resemble him to them. And indeed those who differ over it are in doubt about it. They have no knowledge of it except the following of assumption. And they did not kill him for certain.” (Quran 4:157)

The question you should ask Íڪ, why did God do that?

The reason was God had a better plan. First was to test Abraham to see if He will obey which he did and God imputed it to hiM as righteousness.
2nd, God wanted a perfect sacrifice, a sacrifice. That was pure. That was why Jesus was born f a virgin.
God has to sacrifice his soon, with His nature so that we through Christ can have the very nature f God.
This things I'm saying are N̶̲̥̅̊t fairy tales, read the Bible and you'l know.

For those still wondering if Jesus really died, if He didn't die, who ascended? If He didn't die, how come He keeps appearing to people. For example, He appeared to Paul who was an adent persecuter f Christians who latter converted to Christianity as a result f the encounter.
He still do appear and speak to people.

fellis: What was the point in his dying if he knew he was going to resurrect again?

He might as well have stayed alive and just forgiven people's sins

That's where your ignorance lies.

Jesus coming was prophesied long ago before He came. His mission was to come and die for the sins f the world. Sins could only be forgiven by Blood sacrifice and God wanted a sacrifice that would pay for the sins f the world once and for all. Just as sin entered the world through the mistake f one(eve), righteousness was to be imputted back to man through the blood f one, Jesus.

He had to die as the sacrificial lamb, N̶̲̥̅̊t f His will, but that was the will f God( that was why Jesus said shortly before He was arrested while He was praying, that if God can, He should let the Cup pass, but that let the will f God be done). Jesus cried out when the sin f the world was placed on Him and God turned His back on Jesus because God could not inhabit the body f Jesus anymore cos f the sin. That was when Jesus died.

When He died, He was been held captive by satan because Jesus went to Hell( because f the sin f the world that was placed on Him, and He was been caused for hanging on a tree). In Hell, he was under the tortue f Lucifer until the sacrifice Jesus paid was accepted.

When God accepted The Sacrifice Jesus paid, Jesus regained his powers and fought back in Hell, where He won, freed those saints like papa Abraham who where in a part f Hell called Aedes( a place where the saints and faithfuls did stayed because Heaven was N̶̲̥̅̊t accessible to them @ that moment till Jesus ascended).

Jesus has to rise from the dead and ascend because He has to ascend to the father and make Heaven accessible to all who were Faithful but died before His coming and for those who will acept His sacrifice and Lordship.

Without Jesus dying and been buried, we christians would have still leaved in sin( sin Íڪ a nature, and not just the act of wrong doing), that is, having the nature of sin.

Now, we( christians) are been adopted by God through the death f Jesus.
We are now offsprings f God because when we acepted Jesus, He gave us His nature which Íڪ the nature f God. This Íڪ why we are legal children f God.

anataala: Dr Zakir Naik - Was Jesus (pbuh) Really Crucified?

I will prove to you now using the Bible that Jesus (pbuh) was not crucified neither was he resurrected.

For a person to be crucified he should die on the cross.



He was put on the cross and bought down very fast in 3 hours. In 3 hours its difficult for a person to die therefore Jesus was alive.
When he was bought down his two cross mates were alive proving even Jesus was alive
Jesus (pbuh) legs were not broken. What use is a broken leg to a dead man? Proving that he was alive.
the stone was removed and the winding sheets were unwound proving Jesus (pbuh) was alive
Jesus (pbuh) was disguised as a gardener. Because he was alive trying to be saved from the Jews
The tomb was roomy and spacious. What use is a spacious room for a dead person? Proving Jesus was alive.
When Mary Magdalene went to touch Jesus (pbuh) he said touch me not. he was alive, it will hurt him, he was in pain
Jesus (pbuh) said “I have not yet Ascended unto My Father” that means he was alive
Mary Magdalene not afraid recognizing Jesus (pbuh)
In the upper room Jesus (pbuh) showed his hand and feet to prove he was not a spirit and that he was alive.
The Disciples were all overjoyed to see him. Because they thought he was dead and the spirit form. They were all overjoyed to see him because he was alive.
Jesus (pbuh) ate broiled Fish and Honeycomb to prove he was alive.
The disciples had heard from Mary Magdalene that Jesus (pbuh) was alive.
Sign of Jonah. As Jonah was in the belly of the whale for 3 days and 3 nights so shall the son of man in the heart of the earth alive.

So if he was alive that means no crucifixion, no resurrection. So in short Jesus (pbuh) was put on the cross according to the Bible but he did not die.

Jesus (pbuh) was not really crucified but was crucificted. It is not crucifixion its crucifiction

That they said (in boast), "We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah.;- but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not:-

Surah 4. An-Nisa' (Women) Verse 157



Copyright ©2009

You can't disprove the Death, Burial and Resurrection Of Jesus. The world has tried it for 2013 years, they just can't succeed.

Some f you said he was exchanged, you are saying he was crucified but was not allowed to die because he was precious to the jews.

Well, how about the part where the solders pierced his heart and blood gushed out? How about the part where He cried out Loud and said God has forsaken Him? How about the 3 hours f darkness(which we still experience till date called Eclipse) that followed after His death? The disciples f Jesus did N̶̲̥̅̊t have access to His body for burial. The 3 prisoners did die and were burried with him. Jesus did command His death within 3 hours, Yes that true. He was buried by the solders and the grave was been watched over because the knew Jesus said He was going to RISE up on the 3rd day, so they made sure nobody had access to the grave.

Jesus did rise from the grave BODILY, N̶̲̥̅̊t just spiritually. He appeared to marry bodily(N̶̲̥̅̊t as a ghost). Some f you said He was N̶̲̥̅̊t the one they crucified, now how come about the wounds and Nail marks on his hands which He displaced for them? WaS that still the person they exchanged?

Jesus did appear to many people for over a period f 40 days before He finally ascended. He did N̶̲̥̅̊t rise alone from the dead, He arose with the saints that were dead before Him and these people where also seen.

Jesus was crucified, died and buried for 3 days and nights and rose on the 3rd day bodily and Íڪ ascended and Íڪ sitting @ the right hand f God far above principalities and powers. All f this He did for all those who will come to God through Him, who will also be sitted @ the right hand f God with power.

M̶̲̥̅y advice to you is access the father thrOugh Jesus. Because that's the only way. For Jesus said, I aм̣̣̥̇̊ the way, the truth and the light, no one comes to the Father(God) except through me.

[quote author=2HASUM]I have seen faithful and religious thithe paying, offering giving, seed sowing members of private jet acquiring churches that their lives can not depict what you painting here, some of their lady folks in their late 30s and early 40s no husband,no kids, salaries still under 70k per month for graduate of over 7yrs and you are spilling above, to pay house rent nko, na WAEC for some, but every month not less than 20% goes to pastor and family, January 100%+, me i am sacred if this is ordinary


Brother,
Christianity is spiritual. Many things happen when you sow seeds. Its like planting a corn seed and planting a cocoa seed. One may take just months before the harvest Íڪ ready while the rest might take years.
Also, just as you water your after planting, water your seed offering(I mean Τ̲̅ђe one you sow as a gift to Ur Man f God) with prayers and exercise faith to receive the harvest you expect( which might be multiplied money, a new job, a house, a wife, etc depending on what made you sow that seed or what you attach that seed to).

The tithes and offerings don't need watering because they belong to God. If you don't pay your tithe, first fruits and offerings, you are robbing God, because it belongs to Him. Paying your tithes and firstfruits is what gauranties your Spiritual Protection. God said He will devour the devourer for your sake if you do that. Christians lose their jobs, children, cars, houses(to fire), etc because they fail to operate in this security system.
Your offerings are your freewill giving to God, dats why its N̶̲̥̅̊t determined how much you give. The truth Íڪ that that's where God uses to bless us, because we are giving Him out f our own(what belongs to us). Always give a good offering and you'l see your life improve. Forget about what your pastor uses the money for. You just do your part and let God do His.

One f the surest way to improve your life and your finances. Even non-christians operate this principle and it works for them. Give and it will be given back to you. Have you N̶̲̥̅̊t notice that those who give always have more to give while those who don't never have to give.
This Íڪ widom.

Wisdom was when King Solomon gathered all His followers and gathered Gold, silver, and all the precious things as @ then and decided to build a place f worship for God and when he offered a thousand burnt offering, God appeared to him and offered him(Solomon) a blank check( to ask whatever he wanted).

Wisdom was when the widow f zarepaht gave the only food she and her only son were to eat and die during a period f famine in their land to ElijahT a man of God) who demanded f it. @ the end, this widow and her son were sustained miracolously and had enuf to sell and made profit.

Giving is a principle f the kingdom f God. If you are a christian and want to make advancement in your life including your finances, you have to give to your man f God. God himself sad that we shud bring our tithes and offerings and make food available in His house(church) and proove him(put Him to a test), if He(God) will N̶̲̥̅̊t open up the windows f heaven and pour you out a blessing that your store house will N̶̲̥̅̊t b able to contain.

Seed sowing Íڪ different from paying your tithes and giving your offerings. Your tithes and offerings are holy and belongs to God and Íڪ used for his house and expansion f His kingdom.
The seeds(volountary money or other gift items you give to your Man f God) you sow belong to your Man f God and he can use it for himself. So if you as an individual see if fit to buy your pastor a jet, its for him and you'l be blessed for it, because He'l pray for you or the members and they'l prosper. The Bible aslo said " we should give unto those who labour and teach us the Word f God, that's your man f God.

If you are a christian and you don't give because you have the feeling that your Man f God is spending your money on himself, then you are loosing big time. This Íڪ one reason you might N̶̲̥̅̊t b making much progress financially.

dridowu: Church members walloowing in abject poverty...............................God pls save us from all this Fake Man of God

You guys think all the Church members are poor, your joking. Gone are the days they tag Christians as "Church Rats". To me, its a good thing to buy ur pastor a gift and I'l b happy to be among them.

You guys should also not think the Pastor bought the JET, its a gift. The Bible also admonishes us to give to our Man Of God. So we are just fulfilling Scriptures.

larrymoore: truth hurts.

Contrary to what your saying, the Bible shows that we should follow our men f God. Peter demonstrated it by admonishing his church members to follow him as he follows Christ.

As for me, one Pastor that has affected M̶̲̥̅γ̲̣̣̥ life positively, and I believe the lives f people the worldover Íڪ Pastor Chris Oyakhilome. He preaches the Bible as it Íڪ, touching almost every area f human endeavour. But most people know about The Prosperity he teaches only.
