SALVATION which is by CHRIST IS ETERNAL. John 3:16,
Hebrews 9:12.
SALVATION which is by CHRIST is NOT OF
WORKS (it does not matter if you are good or bad, moral or
immoral) it is of GRACE through faith in CHRIST JESUS
Ephesians 2:8-9.
SALVATION which is by CHRIST JESUS has
been OBTAINED ONCE AND FOR ALL- Hebrews 10:10. Hebrew 9

GOD's Word is clear, a person who believes that CHRIST has
been raised from the dead and that HE is ascended into
heaven, and that HE is the Son of GOD is saved Romans
10:9. And, as such, has been translated from darkness into
the kingdom of GOD- HIS dear Son- 1 Peter 2:9, Colossians
1:13. This salvation is not dependent on works.
It is simple, GOD is not counting nor imputing sin
against anyone all HE is doing is reconciling the world unto
HIMSELF. This is the Word of reconciliation that GOD has
given us to preach. 2 Corinthians 5:19, "To wit, that God was
in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing
their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the
word of reconciliation."

Oh, how GOD loves us! A gift is to be
received, CHRIST is the gift, we receive HIM Ephesians 2:9.
It is not dependent on works! Salvation is eternal not annual, biennial, quaterly, monthly, weekly, daily, hourly.
So you do not have to ask for forgiveness every time you commit sinful acts as a believer. Rather, you confess your righteousness in CHRIST Jesus because HE has come to justify you not condemn you. Romans 5:1, "Being justified by faith we have peace with GOD." Romans 8:1 "There is therefore now no condemnation to them who are in CHRIST Jesus who walk not after the flesh but after the spirit."
Remember GOD is not condemning the world so as to count sin against them. HE is reconciling the world unto HIMSELF. GOD knows they can't help themselves get saved that is why salvation is free and eternal; not dependent on what you do or will do or are doing but dependent solely on HIS grace (unmerited favour).

I celebrate you!

This is what Nigeria has turned to. The indiscriminate conferment of titles to assuage pain, anger or disgust. Presidential campaign director...what is that!?

The times we are in are times where we must all realize that we have a part to play in deciding the future of Nigeria. This nation approaches a new era- an era of fresh presidential and gubernitorial elections and I, for one, don't feel so good about it. First, we are in an era where great and glorious promises are being peddled by politicians and their helpers, casting a most desirable picture of Nigeria's future, stirring our emotions as to see what ought to be as against what ought not to be, and showing us in alluring pragmatism how they would take us to that glorious "neverland". Neverland because time and themselves have proven that all they make are just promises, and at the risk of sounding negative, is impossible to achieve as long as they are attracted by the sound of our collective coins in the Nigerian pouch. Second, is that in all truth in Nigeria and as Nigerians, we have nothing but our whims and sentiments to guide us. What guides us if not sentiments based on religion, tribalism, sex and age? This nation itself is
founded on sentiments, upon which the principle of federal character or "religious" character- if I am to say and as the case may be- is recognized. Everywhere, still, we hear people say don't vote based on sentiment, and some say, "We know our politicians are all bad, but exercise your right to vote and vote for the least bad amongst them." This is one hell of a sentiment held by those who say don't vote based on sentiment. We Nigerians have much more to think about than to begin to research the gravity of badness of a man. Even if it should be done, it is the job of our very own "corrupt" media, who I think determines whether you like a candidate or not, to the highest extent. To clear the air as to some objections that may be raised, the English Mini dictionary on my nokia E71 phone defines sentiment as "1. an opinion or feeling 2. sentimentality" . It defines "sentimental" from which the noun "sentimentality " is derived as "showing or having excessive feelings of tenderness, sadness, or nostalgia." This further proves that, the affairs of this nation from the begining till now have been governed on sentiments, and this saddens me, not based on the concept of sentiment itself, but that no law or rule have been established to govern in this regard. Law itself, I averr, is also sentimental only distinct by it's nature of bindingness upon the generality of the people.

My dubitable conclusion, therefore, is that in the coming elections and in whatever events that may govern our lives we should accept the best sentiment that appeals to us, with the brighter prospect to attaining general goodness or personal goodness as the case may be. Thus, as 2015 is concerned, I have a personal sentiment of mine. This is, vote for the man with lesser promises, most articulate in passing his point, whose side engages in lesser criticism of the other, appeals more to my intellect and personal interest and who has the most inspiring speeches. I guess the debates have so much to decide.
Vote for your dearest and most reasonable sentiment. Nigeria will turn out well.

Just arrived Ife chilling in the cyber cafe outside Angola,

Please guys I am doing my registration please for Law what courses do you think I should pick, THANKS.

@Doyin please what does the certificate form look like do we need to upload results or anything like that, Thanks.

People who keep chanting great Angolans we are not Angolans we are Nigerians, we were only allotted a space in Angola hall of a Federal University of Nigeria by Nigerians so let us respect our fatherland and use something like GREAT ANG'S OF IFE instead of Angolans, #Being Patriotic.

@bashlek you are my room mate room 107 bed 7 in Angola and those of you who haven;t applied you better do that now it takes a split second, and is there anyone whose payment status has been confirmed?, #HEAR.

Guys I'm fagged out I went to a first bank in Berger, Lagos to pay acceptance fee and they said that the link was not opening I went to another one they said the same thing I went to Zenith Bank they were saying they haven't seen anything now I am on my way to Skye Bank hoping for something positive.

Guys do know if OAU have started collecting fees that is the miscellaneous fee at the school.

Just coming back from Skye bank at Allen in Lagos and they said they haven't gotten any email from Ife to commence the collecting of acceptance fee, en route to First bank I hope I hear something positive, moreover I am not coming to Ife until Sunday.

So what are we to buy especially those of us from LAG I mean foodstuff are they cheaper here or there my mama is even more excited than I am.

Well I think the N10,000 reduction will be a very good development if implemented, since my parents think the acceptance fee is N20,000 that means extra money to save and do some more shopping(Don't think I won't tell them the truth because I can't afford to loose their trust I will simply tell them what I need the 10k for) Thank you God. So, is there any other development?

Well if at anytime we resume this is my face my name is Emmanuel and I will be looking forward to meet Lizzylaw(Elizabeth) and others in the Law dept. God bless

@j-gatherer is it the state of origin or the fee that you are talking about?

Guys I dont knw if u have noticed any change on eportal but I have and it is that it does not display any fee but it now states 2011-2012 session and a blank page and also I don't knw if there is anyone here who who's state of origin does not display on eportal when checking ur admission status mine does not.

Hello guys I an very confused here is it that the registration have commenced in Ife or is there any other info that we need to know that we haven't gotten? please I will advice that we should take the topics one at a time in other that other people do not get confused we should post what is relevant to the discussion in other that everyone will be carried along and people will get the real news without reading and browsing confused about the situation through all the thread. Thanks Emmanuel(Law, Ife)

Word has it that reg might start tomorrow, so keep your fingers crossed let us hope it is true.

On-line registration for harmattan semester courses began February 6, while clearance at Faculty and Admission offices holds between February 27 and March2. I got this from this link http://oauife.edu.ng/news/page.php?id=87 can someone please do a proper explanation is it that the registration has already started and which website do we have to register with? Someone please explain.

And now the issue is about the payment of fees and other registration procedures if there is any info that you know or that you think you know or you are not registered on nairaland and you have a clue to what the registration will look like please kindly post and ease the tension in our minds and homes.

OAU Senates Finalize Resumption Dates After a lengthy discussion between the senate and members of the teaching staffs on Wednesday February 8th 2012, the following dates are agreed upon. Freshers are to resume on 26th of Feb. while stalites will resume by 4th of March for 2011/2012 academic session. This occurred as a result of series of complaints leveled by the lecturers(except PHD) about their inability to secure a normal sabbatical leave for almost a decade now. This is however a welcome development which will strengthen and solidify the incessant academic growth of OAU since inception. Anyway, i wish all the students(Freshers & Stalites) of Obafemi Awolowo University a successful and stress free academic session. "Great Ife!!!" 30 minutes ago via .

Eportal is not opening @ Matnat It really nice of you putting the link on every page keep up the good work.

Nairaland is taking the no1 spot when ranking the most visited website for me this past few months and OAU Admission For The Year 2011/2012 my most visited page even than my facebook wall, all because Ife no gree resume how many of you are under pressure from home because my popsi NOW thinks I am lying about me being admitted to Ife LOL, thank God I got really educated Uncles because I would have been sent to one shop to start training as an apprentice even if I got some skills book-wise. God please let Ife resume ASAP.

Hello Guys good morning, What nonsense am I hearing about sannu or SANSU or whatever going on strike please they should stop this greedy play of personal want in guise of being deprived of their right and go back to work or else!!!!!, They will know that even as harmless as the ant(students) looks it can kill a elephant(govt and lecturers).

If u have been admitted to OAU and on the eportal now writes "JAMB registration number not found in OAU's pass list" and on Jambs site no admission given yet, please notify me that I am not the only one affected before I raise an alarm.

Thank God those old men who want to die working have finally suspended the strike. Please does anyone have an Idea of how much the entire registration process cost including the bed cost and so on, Please this is important to me can someone give me a breakdown of the list of books law students like me will use in part one and how much that may cost. THANK YOU.

@Dubemkelly well it is not as if I am trying to stage a violent protest, LOL, (Me ke I no get mind reach that one ooo but it may happen) I am just trying to make those who think they are the only one with rights understand that we also have rights as we also determine if they get paid or not, no student no school, no salary, country bad, you see we can determine what we want in the education sector because no us no them, SHIKENA!!!

To whom it may concern,
We the of students Nigerian Federal and State universities especially OAU hereby decree that the ASUU strike should be put on hold(we mean called off) with immediate effect, as we also propose to start a strike action of our own if the said ASUU strike is not called off before Monday 23rd January 2012, and as you know if the students go on strike it will be more severe and dangerous for the government to handle as there will be increase in robbery,yahoo yahoo,kidnapping and many other social vices that we would not like to mention for security reasons moreover the future of Nigeria will be jeopardized as there will be increase in the rate of illiteracy and the so called protected image of Nigeria will be ruined, we hereby decree that the strike be called off before we carry out the above mentioned threat.
