I can’t picture the points some people are making here. America invaded Iraq, killed thousands there, Afghanistan and the rest. What was the cause of the war in Afghanistan, and subsequently the invasion of Iraq? It seems some people have forgotten the devilish act of these terrorists in September 11, 2001. Was it not the cause of the war? If you claim not support bad thing, then let the truth be said at all time. Osama Bin Laden ran to Afghanistan after thousands of Americans were killed on a peaceful time, and US demanded that Osama should be handed over to them or allow him to run to any country of his choice. Afghanistan refused to hand him over, instead they were jubilating that the villain had killed thousands of innocent Americans. So, Afghanistan came under server attacks as a result of their foolishness.

As for Iraq, Late Saddam and his people were also jubilating and hailing Osama, and when it was alleged that Iraq had weapon of mass destruction, UN demanded that full investigation should be carried out in Iraq but Saddam refused them entry. More time was given to Saddam to comply, but he failed. He knew he had no such weapon but pride, ignorant and idiocy didn’t allow him to do the right thing. So, US having seen what happened to them in 2001 could not fold their hands and watch. There is no way, you cannot panic on hearing that a mad man is holding matchet or gun. You must find a way to disarm him. That was exactly what US did. Unfortunately nothing was found. Yes, you too must ransack a mad man’s house to free your mind. Countries like Canada, Britain, Japan etc hold such weapons because they reason like human beings and value lives. I remember when Saddam said there would be wars and jihad against US if they attack Afghanistan, then that war was brought to his house, and where is him today. As far as I am concerned, Saddam and his Advisers caused what is happening to Iraq today.

The issue now is people lost their lives. Simple!

Just only chat - .i.e. mere discussion. What has man's property get to do with that? Can't someone discuss with you in the present of husband. No think another thing o!

The picture makes me laugh. I can't understand why some are covering their faces? Maybe, they know what they are doing is not good or shame maybe the cause? Could that be true? If yes, why are they into it? Man must whack!

Tayod, as you said, unguided comments are not for a time like this. We are the people saying Americans are behaving as if they were God, but the truth of the matter is that, Americans never one day compared themselves with God. Outsiders thinks that way, just because of their achievements in science and technology etc.

Of all the countries in the world today, America tops in the fight against poverty and whatever. They are human beings like us and they are not immune from natural disaster. Inspite of this, they are better than us because they have low rate of such disaster. Now, let us ask ourselves when that bridge was built. Unlike us, our bridges and buildings collapse within 2-4 years.

I'm even surprised the kind of words people are using here. Nigerians are not appreciative. Americans have been donating to fight poverty and its related diseases in Nigeria, yet we curse them for any slight thing that happens to them. I may say it's envy. How many times has this happened to them? When it happens to Nigerian, America will send relief items. Even in Iraq, Americans have sacrificed a lot of their citizens to stabilize Iraq. They can leave Iraq tomorrow if they want, but it will be disastrous for the Iraqis - Civil war. How is it nemesis now? Are Americans not assisting poor countries in Africa? How many countries can Nigeria boast of assisting? We have not even assisted ourselves let alone others. Go to American Embassy in Nigeria, it’s like a political rally happening there, people struggling to get Visa. Most Nigerians should have a rethink.

That was so funny.
I don't blame the girl bo,if na me I go pursue catch the man too,lol.
[b]some Igbo communities will give you an exercise book full of all sorts down to bathroom slippers and sunlight soap.
Some families I hear ask for the school fees they used in "training" the girl.[/b]Thank God many families are not abiding by those shylock rules before we end up with overgrown girls all over the place.

It's scaring to marry these days. I have clocked 48years still I'm not even thinking of marrying in next 4 years. I want to get this and that is the reason.

Some are telling how much they worth here, when their brothers and sisters or even extended families will ask for N1,000 from them, they will story how they have been starving since two days ago. If you are called to show some people how did it, would you tell them? It’s too bad o!

@Babyosisi
You must be an Mbaise Lady as you said your Oga no even pay everything finish. One of my uncle's came to Mbaise to marry but he had to leave his wife behind and come back with our people due to their high charges, as if they are selling the lady. The following day, his wife left her people and ran to him. This is not a joke. Now, I'm afraid to go Mbaise. I don swear say, may God no gree me see a lady wey go turn my head there.

I know this thread is not for any person to see him or herself as lacking behind. Always wait for God's time. I have a friend who had nothing, I mean nothing as at October, 2004. But as at November, 2005 he worth over N8 Million. I know his source of income and it is clean. I’m telling you, we are far away from this guy presently. While most of us have dropped down, he’s now worth over N25 Million. So, always wait for God’s time. Keep your hands clean and whatever God wants you to be that you will be. Just try your best and leave the rest to God. It will be well. My nephew said it all, the young shall grow, and this growth is not only by age or digit.

I hope Daniel Wilson (Reggae Muffin) is the owner of Tea Mate Bread. It's cheaper in Lagos but almost double the price in Port Harcourt and Aba.

I’m using my uncle Ebos’ ID to post. My worth now is, God is with me and the young shall grow. Junior is my name and I’m 11 years. I have N200 my dad gave me.

What I know is that, antichrist is one or group of people that moves against Christ or His true Church in any form either to turn people away from the truth or whatever. Then which group of people or individuals may be referred to as the antichrist? Well, they may or may not be, I don’t know. Take this, in 1980s we used to see all these herbalists along the streets displaying charms, fake powers, I mean performing magic for people. These days you rarely see them again on the streets because they are not much patronized by people. So, man must whack becomes the new slogan for survival, they have now modernized and taken it to the churches performing miracles, no - the suitable words are magic, wonders and preaching riches etc. They tell you, wave your offering for God to see – but that is for them to see, and those with little to donate will be forced to donate their packets out due to humiliation. Paying tithes is much preached than salvation. The Pastors will packet everything, but nothing will be given to the Orphanage Homes or Charitable Homes. This is greed in a highest degree. Then, go to the Catholic Church, you hear of St Vincent De Paul – a society known for helping the poor in our midst, again, Daughters of Charity – going around in search of those in need, providing shelters for them. Our Rev. Sisters does much of this work with the help of the Catholic Church and its faithful who support them. There are other societies that do this kind of work in the Catholic Church. Not that type of preaching by most Pastors with “challenge God with this and that and see His work.” Who is to judge? God is to judge. Remember, I’m not saying that you guys should go to your Pastors and ask for all the money you have been donating because few of the Pastors are quite ok and must be supported. All I know is that, the miracle or the power, that elevates the few, is to be found in their teachings, applications, and firmness under the prompting of a brave, determined spirit. That is my word.

This thread is just the same with the ongoing thread on "Stock Market Tips For Nigerian." Any suggestion you want has been given in that thread. Just relax and go thru it. That's one of the threads that thrill me a lot. Cheers!

How is this possible

You know, I'm not a Broker but I know everything about Share, the dealers like Bull, Bear and Stag, and that is all I know and nothing more. My friend is a Broker and a close Brother of mine works in the Stock Exchange. This my friend called and encouraged me to buy First Bank Shares, according to him they have not returned all the forms filled by the Investors. What he did was to get a form which I filled, and I saw many other forms filled by so many Investors and were ready for returning. This was just recently, many weeks after it has been closed. I then paid my money into his account. He's a trusted friend - 99% trust I have in him. That's the possibility.

Such advise is not suitable to end this kind of thread. I feel you should advise them positively. So, my sense is that this has to do with foundations caring more about results than they have traditionally.

Who will contact you people? Get the poster right, he said get close to any Secondary School Teacher(s) in your area. He didn't say if you are interested volunteer yourself for him to contact you. So, do inquire from any secondary teacher(s) you know for more details.

To stay?

naijacutee:
Sorry I haven't been very specific. It's just that I wouldn't like to get it out there until the whole package is complete. The products have to do with renewable energy sources for basic day-to-day activities.

Ok, lets keep waiting confidently.

@kabirat, I repeat, just bought first Bank Shares despite that it has closed. They are returning it now. I have a friend who is Stock Broker. N100,000 will give 3,020 shares at N33.00 per share. If you are interested just holla me and I will find out from my friend if he can still sell. First Bank Shares will rise, and it's advisable to invest there.

I echo that prayer, let someone join to echo it too

Won't you make your products known here? Somebody wanted to know your products but you have not stated it. You said technology, break it down for people to understand.

@redsun
Yea, Benedict not only Nazi but was actively involved in the war, but that is the nature of war and don’t ask me why he fought. Do you know what, he was such a different man in that unfortunate war? He was ordained a priest a year or two before the war, and a woman (non German) testified when Benedict (then Ratzinger) became Pope that she was kept under Benedict, and this present Pope then a soldier and a priest took good care of her. There were many rapes and atrocities committed by Nazi (German) soldiers but Benedict was entirely different. No woman under his care was raped. Had the man misbehaved, this woman and other women who were under his care would have ridiculed him and the Catholic Church. As a black guy, I believe we have not been cheated in the choice for Pope. I know of Cardinal Francis Arinze of Nigeria was the third to Pope, but he was not cheated, he said, he knew that he would not succeed Late John Paul II, that God had chosen whom He wants. And I so much believed him. No cord attach to it. He may not even be a Pope in his life, who knows? Anyway, Arinze has tried his best and he has much task facing him and he is only interested in those tasks. His task is to ensure peace, oneness and understanding among all our separated brethren (Protestants) – interdenominational task. That is much work.

Still on it, there is no conflict in God's words as I said earlier. He (God) watches over His words. But we contradict our faith through our understanding and interpretations of the bible. Know this, the scriptures cannot be annulled (John 10 vs 35). The bible does not contradict itself, but it is in dialectical tension with itself. Some ministers only quote some bible portions and interpret them to support their points (greed), and in many cases they understand it literally. So, no word of God can be disapproved. To understand a passage, consideration should be given to both the literary sense and the spiritual sense. These two senses must balance to give a full meaning. So, we have to reason out the correct meaning and build our faith on truth and around truth. That is, where reason stops, faith must continue to lead us. In this way, we will be able to know who has the truth and be able to separate the true church from the deceptive ones.

Will there be any much difference b/w Inten and the African Apprentice? I believe is still going to be the same thing but with little changes, going from your story.

WHY DO WE READ THE BIBLE?

i) IT IS THE WORD OF GOD: The entrance of God's word gives light. It gives understanding to the simple. The word of God is eatable. You can eat it (i.e. make it your own) so that it shall become the rejoicing of your soul. We eat God’s word by meditating on them. When we read the Bible, we hear god talking. Hearing His words helps us to build our faith. So, faith is for warfare and light is for dominion. When we hear God’s word and allow it to enter into us, it gives light that helps us to master darkness. The Holy Spirit releases and sustains joy in our life by helping us to make deep discoveries in the word of God, which keep us rejoicing all the time. Our eyes are opened to the things that are freely ours in Christ Jesus, so that we overlook our present condition but keep rejoicing over what is set before us.

ii) TO BE WELL GUIDED IN LIFE: Through reading the Bible, we are able to know what God wants us to do. We also read about other people’s mistakes, and learn to follow the path of successful people so that we shall ourselves be successful. We keep balanced in our approach to the things of life. Though, I know I can be radical or even rascal at times, that is human.

iii) TO RECEIVE INSIGHT: We receive insight through the receiving of the Holy Spirit, we shall have great insight into the things of God – which in other words is called ‘Revelation’. So, Revelation is nothing but the unfolding of God’s plan to His people, which includes God’s intention to reward those who obey Him. Even, I know at times become I disobey God by following my own plans which may not be God’s plan for me.

iv) FOR WISDOM: Yes, we read wise books to become wise, even as you associate with wise people to become wise and the other way round. So, the word of God is full of wisdom, then wisdom means to know God’s wish in an issue and to walk in that line. With wisdom, we take possession of the keys that operate the issues of life and with wisdom we understand the right thing to do and at the right time.

v) FOR KNOWLEDGE, POWER AND GOD’S ACCEPTANCE: Yes, knowledge is power, it then means that we read bible for power, so, you can finish the explanation.

HAVING LISTENED TO THAT, I MAY ASK, DOES THE BIBLE CONTRADICT ITSELF? This question is necessary because of various interpretations and attacks coming from all angles, yet we are all Christians. What is written in the Bible if the word of God and it does not contradict itself. One understands according to the degree of light or knowledge available to him or her. While some understands God’s intention but goes ahead to interpret the Bible to soothe him just for deception or greed. So, the point I’m making finally is that most people have gone the way of Balaam just because of greed, and this cannot help anyone, instead they that deceive because of their ill motives knows the truth but cannot let the deceived see the truth. I’m always pointing my church, because nobody can rise tomorrow to claim he was the founder – I mean Catholic Church. We know the founders are the Apostles. I also know that this cannot be said of any other church(s). We know their founders and most of the time, their families succeeds them after deaths. Then, who is deceiving who? I know why I'm interested to do this work here.

The President should be in the position to answer ur question

That is the advantage of having President and VP who passed through the process. Their predecessors would not have cared.

@kilma
Tell me if you are serious. I saw u online again and tried to chat with you but you could not respond. What's happening?

I know nothing is infallible, but by the grace of God some certain things are infallible especially when it comes to the interpretation of the faith which is binding on Christian faithful, Catholic (Pope) cannot err on this.

@redsun

I'm a Nigerian from Umuahia in Abia State. Full Nigerian, and I often go to Umuahia, Port Harcourt and Lagos. Right now, I'm in Lagos and September will be in Umuahia and Port Harcourt.

Most people seems not to understand how shameful it is to know Nigeria as a corrupt country - a country full of criminals and fraudsters. It's quite shameful because I feel everybody is labelled corrupt despite that not everybody is involved in this disgraceful act. Now, consider your perspective for a known criminal. Obviously, you feel contempt for the person, and this is how we are before other countries. This is not a question of I'm personally not corrupt, because other countries don't have trust for you as long as you are a Nigerian. Those that disappointed them were at a certain period of time trusted, so everybody is seen as fraudster. Most of our people abroad are not even proud to say they are Nigerians just because of this corruption. Yes, they are right because everybody wants to disassociate him or herself from a criminal.
