For Christians and Prospective Christians only:

The conditions, standards, laws and principles expounded here concerning a wife (husband) material are so much, keeping all them would be a daunting task...However the scriptures gives one great rule for discerning a wife (husband) material and that one rule dwarfs all others...

Romans 8:14
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

Trinity started the marriage institution in the garden of Eden with sons of God - Adam and Eve (the word 'sons' does not connote gender).

That means Godly marriage must only be between 'sons' of God.

The question that follows is: Who are 'sons' of God?

Romans 8:14 answers that question.

Hence if you must have a Godly marriage blessed by Heaven:

#1
You must repent of all known sin and be BAPTIZED IN THE HOLYGHOST.

#2
Be FILLED WITH THE HOLYGHOST ALWAYS!

#3
BE LED by the INWARD WITNESS OF THE HOLYGHOST towards the choice of a partner.

#4
Recognize that without the DIRECTION of the HOLYGHOST your list principles, conditions and laws will ULTIMATELY FAIL - We are HUMANS!

#5
Recognize that marriage is the FUSION of GOD, MAN and WOMAN!

please is there anyone from statistics here?

I studied economics in my undergrad level bt i wana pursue an MSc in Statistics. I learnt they offer two options: mathematical statistics and applied statistics and that the later is for those with low mathematical sophistication with degrees in economics and the likes while the later requires mathematical sophistication...

However I'd love to do the mathematical statistics option. Is there any opportunity for me to do mathematical statistics in place of applied statistics if i can prove my mettle?

Pls any response would be appreciated!

Soneh: pls explain better, i'm preparing for an exam

the determinant of a matrix A with row elements r(.j)=k×a(.j) or column elements c(i.)=k×a(i.) equals the product 'k' and the matrix with elements a(.j) or a(i.) respectively. hence
|1 2 9|
|a b 3c|
|x y 3z|
equals 3 multiplied by d determinant
|1 2 3|
|a b c|
|x y z|
it's lik factoring 3 out of d 3rd column

The second move involves interchanging d 1st n 3rd rows and d@ renders the determinant negative.

Soneh: if|x y z |
| a b c | =5
| 1 2 3 |
use properties of determinants to find
|1 2 9. |
|a b 3c |
|x y 3z |
pls I need the solution with explanations

Let the matrix A with element a(ij) be defined as:
A=[row(1)(a(11) a(12) a(13) ...a(1m), row(2)(a(21) a(22) a(23) ...a(2m), ... row(n)(a(n1) a(n2) a(n3) ...a(nm)]

Hence if d determinant:
|row(1)(x y z), row(2)(a b c), row(3)(1 2 3)|=5
Then
|row(1)(1 2 9), row(2)(a b 3c), row(3)(x y 3z)|
Multiple of a column
=3. |row(1)(1 2 3), row(2)(a b c), row(3)(x y z)|
Interchange of rows
=-3. |row(1)(x y z), row(2)(a b c), row(3)(1 2 3)|
=-3(5)
=-15

hence
|row(1)(1 2 9), row(2)(a b 3c), row(3)(x y 3z)|=-15

I hope i'm ryt!!!

Oxide65: Thanks efficiencie. But the hypothesis only says (Yn) is bounded So we do not know if it converges. About the divergence of (Xn) Sorry I dint specify it diverges to positive infinity. Thanks I'm looking forward to seeing your reply.

bt if a series y(n) is bounded such that:

if y(i), y(j) ∈y(n) for i,j∈n which are the upper and lower bounds of n=Z, (knowing d@ Z∈(-∞ ∞)) then
y(n)∈(y(i) y(j)) and hence Limy(n)=y(i) as n→i and
Limy(n)=y(j) as n→j

suggesting that a bounded series must have a unique or oscilating limit as in d case of sinusoidal functns.
and a boundless series has no limiting values!

I stand to be correctd tho and i'l get an alternative solutn!!!

Oxide65: Please can someone help with this question. If (Xn) diverges and
(Yn ) is bounded, prove that (Xn+Yn) diverges. Thanks. Yn and Xn are sequences.

if x(n) diverges then Lim[x(n)] →(+-)∞ as n→(+-)∞
and if y(n) converges then Lim[y(n)]=a as n→(+-)∞ where a∈R

then

Lim[x(n)+y(n)]=Lim[x(n)] + Lim[y(n)]
=Lim[x(n)] + a
=Lim[x(n)+a]
=Lim[x+a] where x→(+-)∞
=Lim[x]

which is divergent!

dejt4u: LHS: Log(1+2+3) =Log(6)
RHS: Log 1+ Log2+ Log3= log(1x2x3)=log(6),
therefore, LHS=RHS...proved

If i get your theory right:

log[x(1)+x(2)+x(3)+...+x(n)]=logx(1) + logx(2) + logx(3) + ... + logx(n)

then why is it that:

log10=log[1+2+3+4]=log1 + log2 + log3 + log4 = log(1x2x3x4)=log(24)

hence

log10=log24

which is a great contradiction!!!

Soneh: pls gurus in the house assist me in solving this:
prove that LOGaA•LOGbB=LOGbA•LOGaB
please note that the small letters are the bases of the individual logarithms.

Given LOGaA•LOGbB=LOGbA•LOGaB

Starting frm d RHS:
LOGaA•LOGbB
=(LogA/Loga).(LogB/Logb)
=(LogA/Logb).(LogB/Loga)
=LOGbA•LOGaB

Which is the LHS

Nb LOGxX=LogX/Logx

jackpot: Sir, you called?

Try differentiating your result, lets see

will that pi go away eventually, to give us back the integrand?

Given the derivative: d(π(4n+1)x/4-1/(1+x^2))/dx

=π(4n+1)/4-d(1/(1+x^2))/dx

Bt ∫(arctanx)dx=1/(1+x^2)
hence arctanx=d(1/(1+x^2))/dx

=π(4n+1)/4-d(1/(1+x^2))/dx

=π(4n+1)/4-arctanx

=arctan[tan(π(4n+1)/4-arctanx)]

=arctan[(tan(π(4n+1)/4)-tan(arctanx))/(1+ tan(π(4n+1)/4)tan(arctanx))]

=arctan[(1-x)/(1+1.x)]

=arctan[(1-x)/(1+x)] which is the integrand!

Allenkee: Please help me on this
On an air Indian flight, there are 9 boys, 5
Indian children, 9 men, 7 Foreign boys, 14
Indian, 6 Indian males and 7 foreign females
what is the number of people in the Plane?
Please help.

n(b)=9
n(i n (b u g))=5
n(m)=9
n(i' n b)=7
n(i)=14
n(i n (b u m))=6
n(i' n b' n m')=7

By implicatn from d above we have d@:
n(i n b)=2
n(i n m)=4
n(i n g)=3

n(i')-n(i' n (b u m))=n(i' n b' n m')=7
n(i')-n(i' n (b u m)=7
n(i')-n(i' n b)-n(i' n m)=7
n(i')-n(b)+n(i n b)-n(m)+n(i n m)=7
hence using d above info:
n(i')=19

the total number persns on the plane equals

n(i')+n(i)=19+14=33

benbuks: is that your final answer . .??

or are u suggestin i try d audience, 50-50 or call a friend...infact let me phone JACKPOT!!! JACKPOT, hon, come to my aid o!

benbuks: Integrate::
Arctan([1-x]/[1+x])

∫arctan([1-x]/[1+x])dx

= ∫arctan([tan(π(4n+1)/4)-tan(arctanx)]/[1+tan(π(4n+1)/4)tan(arctanx)])dx

Where 'n' is any non-negative integer

Hence
= ∫arctan([tan(π(4n+1)/4)-tan(arctanx)]/[1+tan(π(4n+1)/4)tan(arctanx)])dx

= ∫arctan(tan[π(4n+1)/4-arctanx])dx

= ∫[π(4n+1)/4-arctanx])dx

= π(4n+1)x/4-1/(1+x^2)+c

Reiyvinn: The god concept was just invented by men to enjoy certain "privileges" made unavailable to an average commoner such as high tables, special recognitions, sometimes cash and lots and lots of this >>> https://www.nairaland.com/1825416/samson-make-heaven

...and the god concept is hated and denied by men to enable them enjoy the privilege of defining for themselves what is good and what is bad...they want in.cest, fornication, adultery, pedop.hilia, bestiality, rape, cunnili.ngus, annilingus, fell.atio, voyeuri.sm, drug abuse, murder, witchcraft, seduction and all other vices to be LABELLED GOOD and all the virtues of righteousness to be LABELLED BAD...

itunde: Pls pals, help me with this questionn it is very urgent pls..................

If a,b,c,d>=0, show that (abcd)^1/4 <= (a+b+c+d)/4................

God bless us all and I salute evEryone here.....................

If a ≥0 ,b ≥0 ,c ≥0 ,d≥0,
show that:
(abcd)^(1/4) ≤ (a+b+c+d)/4

If a ≥0 ,b ≥0 ,c ≥0 ,d≥0

Then

(√a - √b)^2 ≥ 0

a + b ≥ 2√ab

(a + b)/2 ≥ (ab)^(1/2) ...1

similarly it can be argued that:

(c + d)/2 ≥ (cd)^(1/2) ...2

And using d rule
if x,y,u,v are non negative and x≥y and u≥v then xu≥yv

Hence from 1 and 2 usin d abov rule:

(a+b)(c+d)/4 ≥ (abcd)^(1/2)

Apply d rule:
If u≥v and u,v are non negativ then u^x≥v^x wen x≥0

Hence

√((a+b)(c+d))/2 ≥ (abcd)^(1/4)

(abcd)^(1/4) ≤ √((a+b)(c+d))/2 ...3

Using d rule: 2√uv ≤ u+v
whr u,v are non negative
and hence d RHS of inequality 3 is given as:

√((a+b)(c+d))/2≤(a+b+c+d)/4 ...4

On apply d law of transitivity
If u≤v and v≤w then u≤w

Hence on combinin d results frm 3 n 4:

(abcd)^(1/4) ≤ (a+b+c+d)/4

Quod Erat Demonstrandum

Apatheist: Not at all.
You theists are the ones that should be scared--you have hell to look forward to.
When I die, I'll just sleep forever.

...This bros no bux ma lungs with laff...you go just sleep forever... ...So you share the same end with animals, no wonder you won't find it hard accepting the view that ''your ancestors were apes''...wow, bro...from the looks of things it appears you are already sleeping the great sleep...sleep on!

masperano: Stennon how are you? and Jackpot why did u
steal my profile pic . lol. I love clever
splakss(chicks). where is Doubledx(a great guy).
and what of efficiencie(wanted to ask what you
studied. mathematics or engineering or physics)
you got the age question i threw in. you indeed
have a rigorous mathematical mind.

Thanks! I read Economics!!

Dapo777: Now you are the one making false premises here. How can someone hate something that he doesn't even believes it exist?

If yu dnt hate God by nt believing he exist...then i'm nt referring to yu bro...be cool!

lol fellaz, it's all good

different STROKES or STRIPES for different folks! DAPO all the best...not even a committee of Angels can say anything to you about God that'll make sense...

To the Athiests General in the house...all the best! The road is well paved and I guess Julius Berger must have done a great job and with a PORSCHE PANAMERA wwhheewww...na to paro lo! jeun soke!! ...

Oduduwaboy: As God who knows all and can do all things , these are the very things he is supposed to stop . There should be no room for blaming the devil or weak humans. The power of God should transcend all!

Ma bro na GOD DAPO comment i go like see...but thanks all the same for yours...GOD DAPO I'm waiting o!

DAPO777: The God Almighty: DAPO speaks
" He would torment sinners in hell for
eternity, wow,what a great and perfect solution
from a loving God. He hasn't gotten enough
entertainment from the torments men are going
through on earth ,so he decided to create hell
for the continuous torment of men,of what
purpose is that eternal torment? To entertain
him ofcourse. Because if hell is trully for
correction or punishment it shouldn't be
eternal. "

Your ROYAL GODNESS DAPO

who caused the calamities you have just mentioned: MAN OR JEHOVA?

whose writing kills 7000 people, THE DOCTOR'S OR JEHOVA'S?

mankind sides with EVIL and blames JEHOVA for looking on?

A ritualist beheads another and blames JEHOVA for looking on?

A randy man patronizes a LovePeddler and still blames JEHOVA for looking on?

A tyrant orders the death of millions and the tyrant blames JEHOVA for looking on

Men marry men and they blame JEHOVA for looking on

GOD DAPO! In a nutshell you are more righteous, reasonable, loving, kind, logical, well read, and benevolent than the 'magical' 'on and off' 'sadistic' 'delusional' JEHOVA!

Abi no be so! Enjoy, be merry, laugh and scorn...a thousand years would be a second!

Dapo777: Which Bible are u using? Where in the Bible is it suggested that the Israelites don't believe in God?

Exodus 17:7 And he called the name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because of the chiding of the children of Israel, and because they tempted the LORD, saying, Is the LORD among us, or not?

Exodus 17:2 Wherefore the people did chide with Moses, and said, Give us water that we may drink. And Moses said unto them, Why chide ye with me? wherefore do ye tempt the LORD?

Numbers 14:22 Because all those men which have seen my glory, and my miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice;

Mock on, he can endure it! Go on, mock and scorn him...Laugh and be merry...so did ZEDEKIAH, JEROBOAM...

Dapo777: Why was God like a magician during those days(turning water to wine,turning stick to snake etc) and suddenly God no longer wants to be a magician again? WHY?

Keep MOCKING GOD!!! GO ON MOCK AND SCORN HIM...The 'magic tricks' you seek are visible in the House of God...GO ON, TAKE YOUR FILL...MOCK ON!

Dapo777: And where is it in the Bible that suggested that king Ahab didn't believe in God despite the proofs? Tell me the verse.

If Ahab believed God wouldn't he have punished his wife for her evil (I kings 21:1-16)

if Ahab believed God would he be an enemy to Elijah the prophet of God? (1 kings 21:20)

if Ahab believed God wouldn't he have hearkened to the words of Michaiah, God's prophet? (1 kings 22:13-27)

if Ahab believed God would set up idols, idols, idols against JEHOVA EL KANNAH? Would he? (1 kings 16:30-33)

Dapo777: What do you think would make a prophet enter a lions den in UI zoo only for him to be devoured by the lions? FAITH OR STUPIDITY?

Roman 8: 14
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God they are the sons of God

FAITH is simply 'trusting the leading of the Spirit of God, through the word and/ or revelation!

If that prophet was led by the Spirit of God, the same Spirit that was with Daniel in the lion's den he woulm have had the same result but rather he had FAITH IN HIMSELF and decided to TEST GOD!

Remember 'thou shalt not tempt the LORD your God'
Matthew 4:7

Dapo777: Well I haven't seen a miracle with my own eyes except some I have watched on tv, so I won't in my right sense believe such which I do not witness,or which have not been verified. Point to the evidences around me,I want to see them,it seems you have a better sight than I do,s help me.

Then what are you waiting for? START A TOUR around the churches i mentioned and see for yourself the wonders of God!

JESUSchoice: My name is Idorenyin Umoh,am d only son of ma parents,a boy of 17yrs of age,a jambite, i stay with my step uncle who is a pastor in River state, he is married with 3kids and a maid 2 take care of dem. I came 2 live with dem in 2010,with all my stay wit dem i wud confess they are nice people. As a young christian i cleavd 2 pleaze God, in all wayz ,i always attended S.U fellowship,prayd,fast alot and also promisd God i will be cleanin his church and preachn d gospel unfailingly every saturday. because of dis level of commitment i had, d devil has tried unsucessfuly in divers manners 2 shift me away frm God, but i kept on overcoming.......until the day dat i lost my trust& faith in God.................... .........,.... ....,...... .... it all startd in 2012 , everytime i pray,my mind keeps telling me dat i Dont have faith,and dat God doesn't exist so my prayers won't be answerd....it borderd me 4 like a days ,i couldn't tell my uncle, cos i dnt knw wat his reactn & mindset will be,evn ma mum dat i luv and trust so much,cos i dnt want her 2be worried sick abt me, my dad is not spiritual ,he doesn't even go 2 church,so i can't tell him,my Aunty is d 1 i shud have told,but am afraid her family pple.or probably d whole church wil hear abt it.. ...i only told my freind,Frank, in S.U ,he is a bit spiritual.. .he told me 2 rebuke d thoughts which i did ,but it kept cumin and cumin agn ,only it has bcom part of ma mind. It Has affected a whole part of my life , i know longer pray,fast ,worship,serve and preach again, in short, it has taken my heart away from God, if sum1 talks abt church|bible tins especially Hell fire, coldness,(i don't care)mindset and sumtimes(hatred) emerges in ma heart, i no longer have d fear of God again,evry morning i go out for family prayrs which is compulsory 4 all membrs of my houz,i pray with coldnes in ma heart. .... now all i think of is joining cults, getting rich fast,becoming a badboy and havin fleshy lust & behaviours.....i write dis with tears in ma heart, i don't want 2becom an (ATHIEST)..... Pls comment ,i need ur help(advice)!!!

Oh no you are not! Writing in tears!? My brother you are the architect of your destiny!! So stop whining!!! Life and death are before you, so make your choice...but remember that your decision has dire consequences...

Scyllapatron: one thing about god (if he even exist) is that he doesn't give a fvck, sometimes I think there is no devil, it's just god when he is drunk.

you are strange and extremely dangerous sir...if you can say this about an entity whose existence or inexistence you can't refute or corroborate then you'd say anything about anyone with little or no restraint!

FOLYKAZE: I still cant find how God comes in here. Are you counting for a tragedy to surface so that you can mock 'God'?

...that's the atheist style...they hate a world of harmony and peace just so they can justify their stance...

timmy2409: I'll leave you with Epicurus:

all this while you all fail to recognize the nature of God (the Christian God), the gamut of spiritual laws and the existence of the epitome of malevolence, satan...I SUGGEST EPICURUS AS WELL AS YOU SHOULD READ THE WHOLE BOOK OF JOB AND LEARN!

Oduduwaboy: It used to be that i never questioned the existence of God. Then the doubt started to creep in through observations of daily world wide events, mostly the tragic occurencies like the missile destruction of the Malaysia flight MH 17 over Ukrainian airspace close to the border with Russia.

Evidence is mounting to support the view that it was a mistake by the Pro-Russian separatists in the eastern part of the country . They confused the passenger jet for a military Ukrainian Jet ! The details are still unfolding .

Now, why could God not prevent this gory occurence from happening ? There were 'sinless ' babies on-board . What is the Use of an 'Omniscient & Omnipotent ' God who can not prevent terrible but avoidable accidents like this from happening ? He/She must be a totally unethical , immoral and infact an amoral god if he truly exist s.

My point is to open the eyes of millions once again to the futility of believe in a god who cares for us. Humanity holds the key to its continued existence on this earth.
Randomness and probability to a large extent ,direct the course of our lives.

Randomness? Funny!!! If randomness justifies the missing craft, then randomness would also explain the Boko Haram insurgency and the mindless murder committed by them, randomness would also explain prostitution and robbery, randomness would also explain cult clashes and ritualistic savagery, randomness would explain your birth sir and ofcourse your future after death would also be explained by randomness...REALLY!!!
