My friend stop been lazy and act on God's word

I give it to you that you are consistent and honest but sorry to say you have been deceived by a man claiming to be God.
Rowland will grow old and die just like his father before him then I will see who will be appointed king of kings.

Then I wonder what the bcs will come up with to explain his absence

Just a few questions what is the reliability of the converted UPS? Any feedback from users? Lastly can the electronics in the converted ups withstand the constant cycling it would be put under since it was not meant for that kind of use? Na gode

Mods urgently close the thread it's purpose is being defeated

Is this a worldly kingdom or a Godly kingdom

Bishops Fight Olumba
The crisis in the Brotherhood has deepened as Olumba Olumba Obu is dragged to the police station, the first time he would step out of the sect’s premises in 53 years

By Obong Akpaekong

The crisis currently rocking the Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is deepening. Four bishops of the Calabar-based sect are up in arms against Olumba Olumba Obu, the sole spiritual head of the church and Rowland, his first son, whom he purportedly named as his successor. The bishops said Rowland has introduced “unwholesome” practices and teachings in the church. They also said Rowland now answers Olumba Olumba Obu, which he is not. The bishops also dragged Olumba to the police on this matter.

The bishops, namely Cyrinus O. Akpan, Asukwo Ekanem, Okpalla Williams and Matthew Ejedawe are unhappy with the “holy father” for appointing his son as the chairman of the Brotherhood executive council and head of the church instead of one of the bishops or Ibum, his first daughter, who are grounded in the affairs and teachings of the church.

The angry bishops have now pulled out of the Calabar headquarters of the sect to establish their own faction in Uyo, the Akwa Ibom State capital. Newswatch learnt that the battle between the bishops and Rowland has torn the church into a brotherhood of discord. Each group now tries to woo members to its own fold. For instance, in Akwa Ibom State , ownership of the church buildings is being hotly contested by the factions while campaign for loyalty of church members has heightened tension.

Besides, the two groups are also struggling to get hold of the updated version of the certificate of trustee of the church, now with the Corporate Affairs Commission, CAC, Abuja . The bishops, who spoke to Newswatch said the children of Olumba have now taken divine titles that are unscriptural. For instance, Rowland is now said to answer “king of kings and lord of lords” while Ibum answers “Queen Mother.” Ajah, one of Olumba’s daughters has the title “Supreme Mother” while another called Onoghen is addressed as “Blessed Mother.”

Ekanem, one of the bishops told Newswatch that the titles are even against the original teachings of Olumba and are being frowned against by the congregation. Ekanem also said Rowland had introduced sacrifices into the sect’s practices. According to him, goats, fowls and other animals are now being slaughtered on regular basis in the church premises for ritual purposes. Ekanem insisted that the practice is ungoldly and not in consonance with Olumba’s teachings.

Newswatch also learnt that Rowland has now turned the church’s 144,000 Virgins into a worldly gang. The Virgins are boys and girls who usually sit in the vestry to sing the praise of Olumba. They were supposed to be pure and holy. Ogar Osim is said to be the leader of the 144,000 Virgins.

But Ekanem said they are now “known to be committing immorality among themselves.” He accused them of stubbornness and disobedience. He also said they have become highly materialistic. “They are highly carnal,” he said.

Lovina Amagala Iburene, an ex-member of the church, even said that the so-called virgins nearly beat to death one “Sister Maria.”

The 85-year-old Olumba, who is said to have now turned blind appointed Rowland, his first son, his successor, head of administration and chairman of the church’s executive council in April 2001. The appointment sparked protest and counter protests. The bishops and some members said Rolwand was almost a stranger to the Brotherhood Kingdom as he had not been involved in the fellowship long enough.

A large number of the members rallied round Rowland. Others were behind Ibum, and the bishops. The polarisation of the Brotherhood membership resulted in violent clashes between Rowland’s supporters and those of Ibum and the bishops. Machetes and other dangerous weapons were freely used in the fights, which took place within the 34, Ambo Street , Calabar premises of the sect and the surrounding Streets. Many people were wounded, with some spending several weeks receiving treatment in hospitals.

The crisis split Olumba’s children into two camps. Obu Olumba Obu who is a bishop, and Olumba’s second son, for instance, pitched tent with the elder sister and the other bishops. The crisis eventually led to the bishops and Ibum, fleeing from Calabar to Uyo.

The new Brotherhood headquarters in Uyo, is located somewhere behind the University of Uyo . Ibum lives within the premises of the church. Some members defected from the Pentecostal centre along the town’s Ekpenyong Street , to join them. The bishops’ faction of the Brotherhood is also springing up in many states, townships and villages in parts of the country. Newswatch learnt that efforts are being made to take the new Brotherhood to other African countries as well as Europe and America . Ekanem, however, told Newswatch that their faction of the Brotherhood still worships the same Olumba who he said is God-incarnate.

The 144,000 Virgins of the church, however, pitched their tent with Rowland. On June 29, they addressed a press conference on the crisis ,at the No. 3, Akobi Crescent , Surulere, Lagos cathedral of Brotherhood. Rowland, earlier said to be the one to address the conference was represented by Joseph Dike, a “senior Christ servant,” who came in from Calabar. Dike read to the journalists an 18-page document entitled: “BCS - The True Perspective,” which traced the history of Brotherhood, spoke about its doctrines and told the story of the crisis. It blamed the crisis on Akpan, Ekanem, Ejedawe and Williams. The bishops were accused of inciting the members to rebel against the authority of Olumba and Rowland. They were accused of trying to put their names in the Brotherhood trustees council without consulting Olumba.

The Virgins said Olumba in November 1991, gave Rowland the divine titles of king of kings and lord of lords,” and Ibum that of “Queen mother.” Olumba was also said to have, on May 27, 1997 , summoned Brotherhood workers worldwide to 34, Ambo Street , and presented Rowland as the “Christ of God in His Second Advent.” He was also said to have directed that Rowland would from that time be known as Olumba Olumba Obu, explaining that these were Rowland’s names at birth. Olumba was also said to have introduced a new sitting arrangement in Brotherhood with Rowland sitting on his right and Ibum on his left.

The bishops, the Virgins said, did not like all these. “They then started grouping behind Ibum to checkmate him.” The journalists were also told at the conference how the bishops tried to introduce certain practices considered to have been at variance with Olumba’s teachings. They were, for instance, said to have asked for permission to wear skullcaps as is worn by bishops in other religious folds. They were also said to have demanded to sit separate from the congregation and to even sit with the Virgins, and Olumba on the altar. The Virgins claimed the bishops demanded that people who wanted to meet with Olumba should pass through them.

The Virgins also accused the bishops of publishing standing orders conveying executive powers on Ibum, which enabled her take certain actions and even ordered a re-screening of the Virgins, a directive they said Olumba alone could give.

Rowland had, in an earlier interview with Newswatch, accused the bishops of trying to scatter the Brotherhood after his father appointed him head of Brotherhood administration. He said the bishops would have preferred Ibum who, he said, would be easy to control. He also accused the bishops of trying to hijack the trusteeship of Brotherhood. Rowland insisted that the bishops, who he described as rebels were dismissed by his father for their roles in the sect’s crisis. He, however, denied that animals were sacrificed in the church.

Akpan, who had earlier spoken to Newswatch on the crisis in Brotherhood and the clash between Rowland’s supporters and those of the bishops and Ibum at the Brotherhood headquarters in April last year refused to comment on the allegations made against the bishops by the Virgins when Newswatch called on him in Uyo.

But Ekanem reacted sharply. “The bishops are not responsible for crisis in the Brotherhood. Rowland is, he told Newswatch. Rowland, according to him, did not receive Olumba’s backing in all the actions he has taken in the Brotherhood. He said contrary to the claim by the Virgins that the bishops feared that Olumba was ageing and schemed how to take over Brotherhood, it was Olumba’s children, particularly Rowland and Ajah, who nursed the fear and wanted to take over to secure Brotherhood property and estates. Ekanem said he and the other bishops had already become wealthy people before joining the Brotherhood. He said Ejedawe, an engineer, built Nicon Noga Hotel in Abuja and was the first manager of Nicon Property. He said the bishop was responsible for the development of most physical structures of BCS. Ekanem said as Olumba’s overseas representative, he spent a lot of his personal money in setting up Brotherhood centres in parts of the world including Newark , New Jersey and Brooklyn , all in the United States of America . Williams was said to have donated the secretariat, and the worship hall, among other structures, at the Calabar headquarters.

“I do not see any of the bishops having interest in Brotherhood property or money. We are interested in promoting the kingdom,” he said. Ekanem said Olumba offered him salvation when he joined Brotherhood in 1970 and he decided to stick to him and to draw many others worldwide to embrace the good thing found in a black man.

The bishops are insisting that Olumba did not make his son head of Brotherhood. They said as sole spiritual head of BCS, Olumba cannot have a deputy or successor during his lifetime. “Leader O.O. Obu is the only “king of kings” and “lord of lords” that we know. The father, son and the holy spirit are all in him,” Ekanem said. He argued that Rowland, being human cannot answer the title of “king of kings” and “lord of lords,” nor can he be “God the son.”

He said members of Brotherhood were also not happy with Olumba’s children for the divine titles they had taken. They argued that they were human beings full of faults and could not merit such titles.

Ekanem also denied that the bishops ever wanted to put on the skullcap as alleged by the Virgins. He said Olumba was always teaching his followers to be humble, adding that the bishops would not have sought for any exalted sitting arrangement that did not come from Olumba.

Ekanem also denied allegations that Olumba dismissed them from Brotherhood. There is no dismissal or suspension in Brotherhood. We left on our own to further Olumba’s instructions and preserve his teachings,” he told Newswatch.

The retired navy captain recently published a 48-page book entitled “Beware, Judgment Has Started in the Kingdom.” In the book, he traced the origin of the Brotherhood crisis. He insisted that Olumba is God and persuaded Brotherhood members to pitch their tents with Ibum and the bishops. He claimed Olumba predicted the split in the church during a message he gave to his followers on Easter Monday, 2000.

In the book, which Ekanem is still distributing to members of the Brotherhood and the public, he said Olumba chose Ibum to administer Brotherhood not Rowland. “The father had issued out a circular on 13th October, 2000 stating his preference for carrying the administration of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. He appointed Ibum Olumba Obu, the Queen Mother, to do the administration for him,” the book stated. The book claimed that Olumba announced Ibum’s position on the 25th of October, 2000 . He claimed it was on this day that those who did not want Ibum to head Brotherhood administration started a revolt.

Williams, in a separate interview with Calabar-based journalists was also quoted as saying the bishops quit 34, Ambo Street for the safety of their lives. “If you threaten a human, he will run for his life,” he said. Williams said Rowland was not the recognised leader of Brotherhood, because, according to him, Rowland was not anointed for such job by Olumba.

As for the Virgins, Ekanem said they were hardly virgins. He accused them of committing immorality among themselves. He said they were stubborn and disobedient and that unlike the Christ witnesses and students, another set of youngsters serving full-time in the Brotherhood kingdom, the Virgins were very materialistic. He said many of them had radio and television sets in their hostels and were listening to music all the time. He accused them of wearing very costly materials. “They are carnal, he insisted. Ekanem said on one occasion, Olumba asked him to speak to or advise them to put away disobedience, carnality and worldliness from their midst. He said the body was set up by Rowland to challenge and malign Olumba, noting that the youngsters did not know much about Brotherhood, let alone address a press conference on the crisis within the organisation.

Iburene, a former evangelist of BCS who claimed to have been Olumba’s representative in Lagos and some other places while she was in the organisation, also descended heavily on the Virgins. She sent a four-page letter to Newswatch the week the Virgins addressed the press, saying they did not know Olumba well enough or his son, Rowland to speak to the press about them. Iburene also accused them of disobedience, noting that Olumba has been preaching against their lifestyles and lamenting that parents sent their disobedient children to him. She, however, said a few of them, personally selected by Olumba, were good.

Iburene also said there were quite a number of bullies among the “virgins” and that in 1999, they insulted and almost beat up Williams. Their action, she said, infuriated Olumba, who asked them to apologise but they refused. She said they later apologised when Olumba threatened to send them back to their parents. She alleged that the Virgins in 1998 nearly beat to death one “Sister Maria,” a member of the church she claimed sold the plot of land Brotherhood erected a building for the “virgins” on the 34, Ambo Street premises.

Maria’s offence, according to her was that she invited a female visioner to a feast held in her residence who described them as “agents of the devil.” According to Iburene, Olumba and Rowland practically begged the lady not to take the matter to the police.

Iburene said Deji Ayinde, a Lagos lawyer and pastor of the Akobi Crescent Cathedral and Mercy Ute Ushede, a deaconess of the church and Olumba’s Lagos representative who co-ordinated the press conference, were ignorant of Olumba’s evil nature. She argued that the bishops and their supporters were not the ones sowing seeds of discord in the church, but that the time had come for God to expose Olumba and his work.

Iburene, who claims she accepted Jesus before leaving Brotherhood now runs the Truth Transport Evangelical Ministry, based in Badagry, Lagos State. She claimed that God called her out of Brotherhood to, among other things, expose evil perpetrated in the Brotherhood Kingdom as well as the evil nature of Olumba. She had earlier written two books proclaiming that Olumba was God and calling on the world to worship him. She said she wrote the book out of ignorance.

But Ogar Osim, leader of the Virgins, denied that the Virgins were immoral or troublesome.

Ibum is said to be in possession of Brotherhood accounts and documents in major Nigerian banks namely First Bank, Union Bank and United Bank for Africa , UBA. She is also said to be keeping the cheque books of Brotherhood’s London account. She pulled out of the church soon after her father gave her power of attorney to supervise Brotherhood property, take charge and operate Brotherhood accounts on his behalf in a letter signed by Olumba on March 28, 2001 . She did not return the books of accounts.

Newswatch learnt that her refusal to return the accounts books to the father has put the Calabar group in serious cash squeeze situation. Rowland told Newswatch that he had taken her to court to hand over the accounting books. But the case is yet to be decided.

This is not the only matter the Brotherhood brethren are sorting out in the court of law. Ibum is also said to have been taken to court to give information on the sect’s landed property and estates worldwide. She had been in charge of all these during her days as general secretary of the Brotherhood.

The police in Calabar recently invited Olumba to their headquarters on Diamond Hill area of the town in their attempt to resolve the issue of trusteeship of the Brotherhood. This was when officials of the Corporate Affairs Commission went to the city to verify the claims of the two Brotherhood factions on the membership of the trustee council. They were said to have requested that the meeting hold outside 34, Ambo Street . The bishops were also said to have made the same request to the police. Rowland, Newswatch learnt, informed his father and later drove him in a Nissan Quest car to the police headquarters. This is said to have been the first time in 53 years that Olumba would have left Brotherhood premises.

News quickly spread around that the man who many believed was long dead or gone blind was in the police station. A large crowd was said to have gathered outside the police station to catch a glimpse of the man. The police later issued a statement denying responsibility for that exposure of Olumba, whom many saw as humiliating. The bishops’ faction also denied responsibility for the action.

The dispute over Brotherhood council of trustees has been on for five years. The Corporate Affairs Commission registered Brotherhold of the Cross and Star as a religious organisation in 1957. Over the years, three of the four registered trustees died, leaving only Olumba.

There are two versions of the story on the attempt to replace the three dead members of the trustees. Rowland claimed that the bishops, had without due consultations with Olumba, tried to replace the names of deceased trustees with Cyrinus Akpan, Okpalla Williams and M.O. Ejedawe.

He said they connived with officials of the Cross River State Social Welfare Division and some officials of the Corporate Affairs Commission to affect the fraud. The plan, according to him, leaked before the certificate was issued. They were stopped and the certificate was not issued.

But Akpan and Ekanem claimed Olumba had in 1998, nominated Akpan as representative of Brotherhood members from Akwa Ibom, Williams as representative of Igbo-speaking Nigerians in Brotherhood and Ejedawe as representative of Nigerians from other tribes in the trustee council to replace the trustee members who had died.

@ Whizbrain, the land in the survey is too small to take something reasonable without big compromises.
If narrow is your thing, there are some cool narrow house designs for odd shaped plots and extremely small plots. But if this is a cornered-piece lot, you can still do some very amazing stuff of the land.

For this type of land, I will do max 3 bed storey house (it won't be called duplex though but modern)

Judgement is on and progressive. All the calamities befalling the world are all judgements of God in phases to see if men will repent but unfortunately the blasphemed against God

Revelations 16:11 NIV

And cursed the God of heaven
because of their pains and
their sores, but they refused
to repent of what they had
done.


The last phase is usher in the great tribulation, then the universal manifestation of Christ and final judgement

Can u clearly state when the judgement will be over? All this vague talk cannot convince anybody. State what will happen next.

Excuzeme:
I am still trying to figure-out what Brabus should have done, when @KolashangOne asked him the above question!
Should he have IGNORED KolashangOne or should he have answered him, in a few words as he did?

What would YOU do, in his place?

From HappyKay, to itswell1, to Sensegiver, to 3strikes, to Bigemouth,to Maverick, to Erico2K and many other multi-user id's that you people have been using to "ask and answer" yourselves in the same breath, YOU ARE NOT SAYING ANYTHING NEW!

It was agreed by all to keep this thread CLEAN and that ALL complaints/Bashing/madness should be taken to special, dedicated thread opened by many people, including Hajj M, Egunmogaji, Brabus himself, etc to air your grievances.

But like broken record, small and very sad people keep polluting this wonderful thread.
You said this matter has been on for over three years so, what are you saying now that you have not said in the last three years?

But l am surprised that not one of the people crying here have taken any concrete action against Brabus, except to derail this thread.
Is it that they are Cowards, illiterate, ignorant, Criminals themselves (source of money and cant stand-up to scrutiny) or just mentally disturbed?

I know they will soon label me a "Brabus-supporter", as they usually do to anyone that does not follow their endless wailing and derailing of this thread but l am sure if they read my previous post on Brabus, they can/cant be honest enough to accept that l dont support bad behaviour by any builder.
Brabus has done wrong and it is either we leave in him to God's judgement or we prosecute him using the appropriate organs of Government but we cannot turn this thread to a hate thread. Its for learning about Construction.

Again, l find that some Builders (l can understand previous Clients) are simply jealous of that Chateau or whatever you call it and get really angry whenever it is mentioned but they like to hide behind some other user-id's or instigate others to do their dirty work.
One particular one only posts here whenever Brabus name is mentioned (and l am not referring to kolashangOne)

Instead of derailing this thread, l will suggest that those who have made it their life-duty to see that Brabus does not get another job (and he keeps getting jobs!) should contribute money among themselves and take giant Bill-boards and Front-page, Newspaper adverts, to tell their story, the same story they have been telling in the last three years and Clients are still not listening!


Enough of derailing this thread and no one should talk about Brabus Chateau again, l am tired of hearing about it (not that l dont appreciate a good build when l see one but it is making some people develop high blood pressure as we can all see).

Brabus, l know you have the right to answer a question when asked, l know you have a right to show the picture of your house (if it is easy to steal client money to build this Chateau, @itswell1 should try it and build a house like this ) but please, for the sake others, use other buildings as examples so that your house is not the cause of some other people going unclad in broad daylight.

With what some of your Clients feel, l can imagine how they feel seeing that your own house is not sinking or waterlogged while their own is although, some of them also share in the blame, for not listening to advice.

back to topic, construction and new building ideas

Gbam!!! Thank you for saying the truth even though some people do not want to hear it

Ugly as hell

How will the judgement take place?

2 hours each. Which seems to be the generally accepted number based on most documentations. A really smart charger like the Midnight's and co should be able to auto detect the absorption time based on algorithms the determine it from battery internal resistance. But 2 hours should be fine.

* To equalise properly. You are suppose to start when battery is full. And continue and continue to check the gravity level of your electrolyte till u stop noticing an increase and all cells are pretty much of equal or close to equal gravity* but ain't no body gat time for that

thanks really appreciate

bigrovar:
Based on my email exchange with sukam support center (as I could not find any information whatsoever about the charging profile of the Mercury Tubular) I used what I found relating to other Tubular batteries like Sukam and Luminous:

Floating = 27.3
Absorb = 14.5 ( I was told by sukam support that absob voltage for their tubular is 14.4 - and that was what I saw on pretty much every documentation on indians tubular batteries, however made the decision to use 14.5 since my controller does not have a separate voltage sensing cable)
Equalisation= 15.5

ok thanks what of the times for absorb and equalization

bigrovar:
Deep cycle is a generic name for batteries that are designed to be (well) deeply cycled (cycle being a discharge and charge) as against automobile batteries which are not design for deep discharge.

Gel, AGM and Flooded acid batteries are all types of deep cycle batteries. The type depends on your use and how you designed your system and your peculiarities.

for new users with a large family and little space, I often recommed AGM batteries for the following reasons:

The are pretty much sealed and maintenance free, which means they require no water topping, little worry about gaseous discharge.. no worries about using hydrometers or acid spill.. They can also take quick charge, AGM batteries can take as much as 40% of their current capacity hence they are great for using with high charge capacity inverters and large solar array.

The down side of AGM is that they mostly don't like heat, and they have relatively lower cycle time compared to flooded acid batteries. Most AGM batteries sold in Nigerian market have as little as 500 cycles when used at 50 depth of discharge. If a cycle is a day of use, that is roughly a year and half. Some high end AGM can do as much as 1000 cycles at 50% dod but that will cost u.

FLA requires lots of baby sitting, you have to ensure acid dont spill, always make sure it is has right water level, always good to have a hydrometer close by to check the electrolyte and acid levels, They usually don't like fast charging (not more than 13% of capacity) if you charge more than the recommended rate they will gass and release hydrogen which if kept in an unventilated space can lead to a huge nice cute explosion..and when no explosion happen will cause the battery to die before it should.

the upside for FLA and why I choose it is they can give u very high dod. The brand am using (Mercury tubular battery) is rated at 1250 cycles and 80% dod. (I use it at less than 30% dod) for me that is what wins it. batteries are the only component in an offgrid system that requires regular replacement. so the longer your battery can last the better and most cost effective your system would be. So if you are not scared of a big nice explosion and u fancy waking while wife is asleep to check the gravity level of batteries.. and don't mind equalizing your batteries for 2 hours and sit to monitor that all goes well, if you have a well ventilated space then I would recommend flooded lead acid.

for AGM if you can get Luminous batteries it is a good affordable agm battery.. the more expensive ones like Ritar are also good.

for FLA, Trojan is the king of the hill, US battery is also top dog but if they are beyond your reach, Luminous and Mercury tubular batteries are also good.

Goodday what settings i.e bulk,float,absorb and equalize are you using for your tubular batteries. Also advise the times for absorb and eqaulization.

durodee:
Though I have 2 flooded batteries, they are not connected to that system. Kindly see the picture of the batteries I connected below. 6 as 24v.

ok then you are fine as the Axpert charging parameters cannot fully charge flooded batteries without a cc.

durodee:
Thanks Bro! I thought you've abandoned me!
You know I was into Hybrid system even before I got my first solar panel, so I just switched to hybrid setup for the time being. See instantaneous yield below.

I belive That is an Axpert inverter. Are u using flooded batteries?

The President of the Ghana Catholic Bishops Conference, the Most Rev Joseph Osei-Bonsu, has refuted media reports that the Vatican had stated that the second coming of Jesus Christ may not happen.


“The publication is the fabrication of a mischievous and malicious person. The views stated in it do not come from any Cardinal in the Vatican,” he declared in a statement.

He said none of the 216 Cardinals bore the name Giorgio Salvadore and explained that there was, indeed, a Cardinal Salvatore de Giorgi, an Archbishop Emeritus of Palermo.

He said Cardinal de Giorgi, an 83-year-old retired Archbishop, was not the spokesperson of the Vatican.

“The official spokesperson of the Vatican is called Fr Federico Lombardi,” he stated.

The Most Rev Osei-Bonsu explained that if a Cardinal of the Catholic Church had made those untrue and blasphemous statements about Jesus, he would be called to order by the Pope.

That, he said, was because the views espoused in the publication went against Catholic and, indeed, Biblical teaching.

“The second coming of Christ or the Son of Man at some time in the future is part of our Christian tradition. It is found in the following passages in the New Testament: Matthew 24:3, 27, 37, 39; 1 Corinthians 15:23; Hebrews 10:24; 1 Thessalonians 2:19; 3:13; 4:15; 5:23; 2 Thessalonians 2:1, 8, 9; James 5:7, 8; 2 Peter 1:16; 3:4, 12; 1 John 2:28.

“It is also found in the Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed that we recite in church: ‘He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead’,” he stated.

The Most Rev Osei-Bonsu, who is also the Bishop of the Konongo-Mampong Diocese, said no one knew the time of Christ’s return, as was written in Mark 13:32, “But of that day or that hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.”

He explained that ‘that day’ clearly referred to the Parousia, the return of Christ at the end of time, and stated that if neither the Son (Jesus) nor the angels knew the time of the second coming, how would any Cardinal, or any person for that matter, know?

On claims in the publication that Jesus was drunk at the time He made the prediction, the Most Rev Osei-Bonsu said there was no evidence in the Bible, or anywhere else, that Christ was “drunk” when he made that statement.

“The publication is just malicious and blasphemous and I would urge all Catholics and, indeed, all Christians, to ignore it and treat it with the contempt that it deserves,” he said.

Can you please furnish us with step by step details of the process? I have done the online registration but haven't gone to my state Police headquarter. How long did it take you to get the document after data capture?

Thanks

once you have done the online registration and have uploaded your proof of ownership and insurance go to the police headquarters at the State intelligence board. In all not more than 5mins for the biometrics capturing. As stated it is free but a little appreciation will go along way as some friends who captured before me have still not gotten theirs. All together I got the permit in 5 weeks. Hope this helps

tsmall:
Its a new day for new opportunities. Cheers guys

goodday how much for the outback 3048e inverter?

ImeyYemi:
Hello, please where you required to pay a fee or token to process the permit?

Process is free of charge but I appreciated with 2k and when the permit was ready I was called. Appreciated them again with 2k.

I say cheap PR which helped

princemillla:
Good day guys,.

If you have received your tinted permit kindly post here. Lets see how it looks like.

And for those who are yet to have it, but currently holding the old permit, I want to ask is it still viable..?

Tinted permit

Intendy:
bro DUNKA,all the aforementioned stocks are good except for one or two and you omitted to put #20000 in from of dangote sugar.

reclassifying the stocks by sector

oil and gas =25% app.

food,beverage and consumer goods =39.9%

financial =27.1% app

building material/construction =8%

its a good mixture like I earlier said but your age and risk appetite determines a lot.

You'll have to drop some under performer which will likely drag back the portfolio.
but some stocks in some sectors are OK.
just my two cents for now

Hard to get OEM charge profile for this battery all my searches resulted to null. Down side of buying little known (on a global scale ) product. Anyways I did get some information of off sukam tubular battery via their technical support in India ( told them I use their tubular batter... I lied)

Anyway my charging profile - based on what I gathered from other Indian made tubular battery like Sukam, luminous and exide - are as follows

Boost 14.4v to 14.6v. Tubular batteries according to most docs I read are said to be fully charged at 14.4v but the fact that some charge controllers are unable to accurately sense battery voltage .. Might be safer to set your controller to 14.6v for boost.

Float is 13.5v

Equalization is 15.5v

Hope this was of help

Thanks

we work during both dry and rainy season, even in bayelsa where there is higher rain fall. Though very challenging but we have put in place a solution to that problem.

Yes i can work not only in lagos but also in other parts of nigeria. I have done like 3 jobs in lagos, even the pool deck picture u saw is in my job in federal palace hotel, V.I lagos.

We charge 7k per sqare meter which include the cost of Materials and labour, but if u can provide all the materials, we then will charge 2k per sqare meter which include our proffessional skilled and local labour. But if you can provide the local materials for us, while we provide the foreign imported materials, we can charge. 4,200.00.

MATERIAL
Local material:
(1)Bronw portland cement
(2)Granite stone(chippings)
(3)Sand
(4)8mm iron rods or wire mesh
(5)Iron bars
(6)Hydrochloric acid
(7)Binding wire.
(Diamond cutting disc

Foreign imported materials:
(1)Pave-create color hardener
(2)Original Acrylic sealer
(3)Antic Release agent.

So as ealier said, we charge 7k if we provide all the above materials(both local and foreign materials) but if u provide the local materials, we charge 4,200.00. While we charge 2k if u can provide everything(both local and foreign materials)
