emmyw:
but honestly what's the different between what you said and the one I stated above?

please it was not because Christ died on Friday. This was the explanation we were told when we were young cos the teacher knew our iq was low but if u tell a pentecostal what u said it will be a mockery of the church. Lent =fasten + abstinence. Unlike pentecostal who only do fasting. Why Catholic added abstinence is because of those who can't fast as u know that we all are all member of the body called Christ

ebonytarki:
nice 1 broda.....i too have longd 2 ask desame questn d op asked.ur reason is kul.bt I want 2 knw y it has 2b Wednesdays n fridays.

the church just picked these days and even you can add other days that u can abstain from things of the flesh.

emmyw:
The reason why Catholics not being allowed to eat meat on Fridays during Lent is to remind the faithful that Jesus died on a Friday. Jesus gave up His body (His flesh), and Catholics, in an effort to attain greater communion with Christ, refrain from consuming flesh.

why not say what you know? Catholics avoid meat during this period is because it called fasting and abstinence. Fasting is the normal thing which we do away with food for some period while abstinence is when leave things that we love most just to undergo so physical pain.
Now the church made it mandatory that we all should abstain from meat just to partake in the lenten period cos not everyone can fast like the pregnant women, elderly people, sport men and women, children, and so on but everyone can abstain from meat.
In addition personally the church also encourages everyone to abstain from some pleasure for the sake of Christ like instead of taking a bus for a few kilometer we can treak then use the money to pay the needy, also deny the body of some fun. That is why the Catholic call it lent. Lent is fasting and abstinence

The AGM received from the LMC Board the detailed income and expenditure report
from the 2014/2015 seasons in comparison with Budget proposal approved for the
season from the last AGM. The expenditure report shows actual income receipts for
2015 of N1,994m as against the N2,593m expected guaranteed revenues and N3,443m
forecasted gross revenues while actual expenditure for year 2015 stands at N1,909m
as against the 3,080m expenditure budget approved for 2015 season.
The Meeting duly commended the LMC board for prudent utilization of revenues for the
fact that despite huge shortfall of close to N600m in anticipated guaranteed revenues
for the 2015 season occasioned by the sudden economic realities and the non receipts
of fees due LMC from a key sponsor, the LMC board were able to successfully
conclude the season, meeting all its core financial obligations and leaving some savings
to be transferred to 2016 season.
The Meeting duly approved the LMC board proposal to publish the LMC Ltd audited

and appropriate filing with the relevant authorities.
The AGM having duly considered the 2016 expenditure plans presented by the Board

N1,663m including deferred payments of N496m brought forward from 2015 budget.
The major source of guaranteed revenues for the 2016 budget is broadcasting and
savings from 2015 while the forecasted revenues are from funds due from debtors and
expected new sponsors.
The meeting notes with excitement the new bonus/incentives structure to clubs
proposed by LMC Board in the 2016 budget. This includes N500k for away win, N200k
for away draw, N250k for attracting 5000 fans and above to a home match, N200k

The meeting adopted the LMC Board proposal for the restructuring of NPFL
sponsorship programs so as to provide window for all interested qualified corporate
bodies to partner the LMC in support of the NPFL so as to generate additional
revenues. This includes creation of new sponsorship levels of elite sponsors, official
partners, official supporters as well as a robust merchandizing program.
The meeting further commended SuperSport for their unflinching support to the NPFL
inspite of the unwarranted distractions from companies and agents of the defunct NFL
Ltd and welcomes the official commencement of broadcast contract with super sport
duly approved by member clubs since September 6, 2013. The meeting pledged the
total cooperation and support of the entire members of the company comprising the 20
participating clubs and NFF and indeed the LMC Board.
The AGM duly noted that the LMC Contract with Globacom for the Title Sponsorship of
the NPFL have last its course of 3 years and the renewal clauses have duly expired
and that the LMC have duly met all its obligation to Globacom. Accordingly, the
contract with Globacom has duly ended at the conclusion of the 2016 Super 4 on
February 5, 2016 and therefore Globacom is no longer associating with the NPFL. The
meeting further commended Globacom for their support to the league over the long
years of association and wishes the company well in their future activities and
association with football.
The meeting thus approved for LMC Board to open the Title Sponsorship of the NPFL
to all interested corporate bodies and accept a suitable transaction in line to LMC
marketing strategies as soon as possible. The meeting thus approved that the name of
the league and all branding materials shall now revert to Nigeria Professional Football
League (NPFL) until a new sponsor is concluded in accordance to the marketing
strategies approved.
The Meeting also adopted the proposed amendments to the rules of the 2014/2015
season for use in the 2015/2016 League Season. The meeting further notes the
proposals for amendments to the LMC Governing Structure/Supplementary Regulations
for consideration of the LMC Board and NFF in line to the stipulations of Article 102 of
the LMC Governing Structure.
The AGM agreed for all clubs to ensure strict compliance to the Club Licensing
Regulations in line to stipulations of NFF and CAF. Most especially the meeting
resolved for all NPFL participating clubs to ensure the welfare of players is giving
paramount attention and all overdue payments due players from previous seasons are
resolved soonest with the first step being for clubs to all sit down and agree payment
plan with the affected players and club officials.
The meeting adopted and commended the several innovations initiated by the LMC
Board towards further enhancing the appeal, quality, integrity and commercial value of
the League. This included the plan introduction of the Domestic Transfer Matching
System (DTMS) software to be acquired from FIFA and introduction of Central Transfer

Matthew7v16,17: ''Moreover, when you fast, do not be like the hypocrites, with a sad countenance. For they disfigure their faces that they may appear to men to be fasting....but you, when you fast, anoint your head & wash your face''

how come we knew that Jesus fasted and he was hungry which was the reason Satan wanted to use him to turn stone to bread?

The broom has NAFDAC no

chriskosherbal:
EFCC VS federal govt

no It should be citizens vs efcc and federal government

Hitback2back:
Bros this Maths is too technical for the people @ d top o. Am sure you won't get any answer.

Just blame GEJ and we will clap them

I can't laugh. Lol

yesterday we were told that efcc has recovered $2trillon from looters, fraudsters and criminals in the last 12 years.
If at the rate of #200 for a dollar then it amounts to #400 trillion. Our budget is at most #7trillion a year.
My question, if truly efcc has recovered #400 trillion in 12 years why can't the government use the recovered money to finance our budget?
Abi when they recovered it, some criminals will steal it again and efcc will recover it and it will be accumulating?
Or is it that efcc is trying to play on our intelligence?
Please someone should answer us.

Deep down there is a voice saying all these are wrong; interceding through Mary, praying the rosary, intercession of saints etc. These are all traditions not Christianity. Forget about the pride thing because someone is correcting you kindly discover it yourself.
The word is never assumed and it is clear so please stop making out things that are not. I am a Catholic with modifications rather I would say I'm a believer of God.

you can't serve two masters at a time, it's either you are for one and against the other. If you don't believe in the Catholic teachings then you can gently denounce yourself from the church. But i will advise you to ask questions why things you see or hear from the church at like that. It's unfortunate that you don't read your Bible to know about the spiritual and the traditional of the early Christians. Plz read your Bible.

[b]no wonder why tope use to get angry whenever I don't eat her food.

Now I understand why this happened last year!

Tope: Baby, can you come over I made dinner

Me: not tonight baby, I am out with friends maybe tomorrow

Tope : do you know how much time I spent in the kitchen cooking this for you, I made your favorite just because I want to treat you right and make you happy tonight but what did I get for that? Rejection(crying)

Me: oh baby, I am so sorry I said no, I am coming

*************
After eating semo and vegetable soup that taste funny and strange......

Tope: baby, have you been paid your salary for November?

Me: (I wanted to say no, but I end up saying) Yes baby, in fact I was just about to tell you that

Tope: baby, I need a new phone and I want to buy a bag I saw with Cynthia yesterday. In fact you need to see that bag

Me: (I wanted to tell her I need to pay up for my apartment and get blocks for my building project, but I said) Alright baby, how much do you need?

Tope : just 70k baby, you know I love you (she gives me a refreshing and talented kiss)

Me: (I really want to get mad at her and take my leave But what came out of my mouth was) Hehehehehe..... Oh baby, I love you too

Thank you Lord for revealing this to me...I go kill this girl today!!!! But let me first finish this amala and ewedu she prepared for me tonight. [/b]

whalahi your foolishness na high frequency he dey. Lol..

cruzita:
NONE

you are not needed cos of ur gender. Lol...

Pink is pregnant bride. She is pregnant

TheGoodJoe:
I still wonder how Usman was not good enough to start the game against Niger. Usman and Chikatara came in as subs and the game turned around.

In this game, Oliseh chose to leave Chikatara on the bench and gave Adeniji so much time when he offered nothing. He also pulled off Usman the best player very early.

bros if you follow the league u will know that nanso edo is better than Etim, Akas chima has no business in that team, this match showed that it's either oliseh is not a good coach or he just wanted to sabotage the effort of us the promoter of the league

Smellymouth:
You re right though

thanks for understanding. Yes these players are not the best in naija league but they could have taken us to the final if the coach had done his work very well.

Smellymouth:
Chaiiii....

Nigeria league is rubbish

was it naija league that started Alimi ahead of Orji? Or was it naija league this said oliseh should remove Usman? Or is it the league that said they should play defensive game early simply because they needed a draw?

Every # CHAN game was a hit, from Niger to Tunisa but we still couldnt make it to
the next round

Oliseh just want to sabotage the work of we the supporters of the NPFL by making
these players look ordinary so that those who never see anything good about the
league will have something negative to say. Oliseh too bad. You removed Usman who
was the heart of the team. What a coach.

Guinea fowl flying over eagle, abi Guinea fowl eating eagle. I can't believe it could ever happened.

Just watched the reply and I still stand on my words that chima akas is not a player. One thing I know for sure is that he will sit on bench in enyimba this season.

Oliseh is the best coach

Guinea vs Nigeria XI # 2016CHAN : 1 Ezenwa; 14 Etim, 5 Obarokapo, 6 Alimi, 3 Akas (c),

The man is not a common man! The bail money will go to consolidated account which is the second tier account to the federation account.

Larryfly:
Yea... I v listened to some nice priests like Fr. Dibie. Buh then the parish priests are just vague abt the Word. You leave every sunday feeling empty. CBIU is a strong group. I ll study abt them a lil. Same with charismatics. But why cant I get this spirituality from the church, why church groups?

my bro want I want you to know is that Catholic will only build you to have a personal relationship with God. The relationship is contain in the first question of the cathism class. Which who made you? and we say God made us. Why did God made you? We say God made us to KNOW HIM, SERVE HIM IN THIS WORLD HAPPYAND TO BE HAPPY AFTER OUR LIFE. Now the church has made u to know that u must have an encounter with God to know him better, serve him and be happy. How do you know God? by studying ur Bible, attending religious meeting and attending mass. Note: just as Christ was not begging for follwership the same the church doesn't beg for members to stay cos we all are going to account for our sins.

erusen:
God is bringing u from darkness,download the pdf of foxes book of matyrs,read non catholics,catholism is a religion not a relationship with god,it is praticing the commandment of men.

differentiate between Catholic as a religion and been in relationship with God

Larryfly:
Bro, I want to be a true Christian in catholic church. But the Word there is weak. I got more conscious of building a relationship with God when I visited another church, just the preaching for that day gave me a serious rethink. I came back to my catholic church and I wasnt feeling it. I really want to get close to God in catholic not just observing catholic rituals and doctrines. Christianity is way deeper than that.

it's because ur mind is almost made up against the Catholic Church. Secondly, what u want to hear in the Catholic Church is not said but things of the world like prosperity, mistaking magic as miracle and prasing God in an unholy way.
My advice is either u should leave the Catholic Church and go and look for the "light" then after some weeks ask ur self if u are comfortable with ur self. Or sit down and ask to ahead of you in faith to enlighten you in Catholic faith through God way.

Nice play by Ibenegbu

Yes watch out for my guy ezekiel bassey

Chikatara 1-1 akaichi
