Deputy Senate Majority Leader and Chairman Senate Committee on Science and Technology, Ajayi Boroffice, has revealed that the space agency that should be employing scientists and engineers are employing graduates of religious studies and other unrelated courses.

The senator that said the agency needs to be sanitised, adding that presently, such actions amount to misemployment, considering that the support staff of the agency constitutes about 80 per cent of the workforce.


He stated that for efficiency, the agency needs scientists to constitute about 70 per cent of the workforce instead of what is in existence at present.

Boroffice added that the Independent Corrupt Practices and other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) is presently scrutinising the employment documents of the agency.

He said this on Friday in Abuja at the annual national space dialogue/media conference on space science and technology.

The Deputy Senate Majority Leader also added that he learnt that people are made to pay between N2 million to N2.5 million for employment, describing it as sad.

He said: “How can you be taking people with religious studies in space centre? It is misemployment when the support staff that constitute about 80 per cent are the workforce. It is wrong.

“We need experience. We need scientists to constitute about 70% per cent of the workforce but the reverse is the case.

“I learnt that the ICPC is around, scrutinising employment documents, I heard employment is earned with N2 million, N2.5 million. It is sad.

“We have to reexamine ourselves. We have to sanitise the space agency so that we can achieve the purpose of nation itself.”

In response, the Minister of Science and Technology, Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu, said the government was determined to correct the mistakes made.

He said: “I want to assure you that this administration is very interested and this minister here is a big champion for space science and technology, and we will continue to do the best we can.

“We are trying to ensure that some additional satellites are put in orbit.

“I will like to assure the deputy majority leader of the Senate that we agree with you about the mistakes that were made here.

“They are also mistakes that you can find in government institutions. But we are determined to correct those mistakes and we are taking the neccesary steps to make sure they are corrected.”

Greedy Govt, callous ASUU, its the students that will suffer it...ASUU work or not , they get their salary, but student lost their time

Correct

jesusjnr2020:
It hard but not impossible.

This is not exclusive to Nigerians... There have been times even in Israel where it was hard for someone to worship God in the open because the leaders have imposed the worship of Baal on them and killed all the priests and prophets that they could find.

You know about what Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego faced in the land of Babylon for their allegiance to God.

Today there's the persecution of believers in China and elsewhere.

To be true worshipper of God comes with a price. So if you're a true worshipper of God, you must do what true worshippers do because that's what distinguishes you from the others.

I know it's not easy from personal experience, but nobody said it would be easy, but it's possible with God.

So just try, make effort to do what's right, and God would help you with the rest.

God bless.

But God is everywhere

Dtruthspeaker:
you have already lost because of what you said.

As I told the Op, God Does Not stay on earth!

Not minding the worship centers that spread across everywhere in Nigeria, How is it easy to enter heaven as a Nigerian?

Since when one is born, its corruption.
As a young student , from common entrance exam, and
At Olevel exams , most of us indulge in exam malpractices .And In our universities we take to examination malprices too and also bribe our ways.

As an apprentice we are taught lies by our boss to Make way and we learn how to cut corners to make profit. And even to promise and fail

And the main one is when one is working or doing business.

Most people working in a place don't rely on wages or salary alone, without cutting corners in these their place of work.

And As a business man, we give kickback and we give bribe to get contracts and use inferior products to do project to make more profit..
I don't think as a Nigeria its easy to enter heaven

BEST BRAINS ARE LEAVING EVERY DAY, LEAVING THE COUNTRY FOR DULLARDS THAT WILL BE GOVERNED BY OLD MAN LIKE BUHARI, WITH NO IDEA

See these countries that has less than 10% of their population below poverty ...

helinues:
Could you pls name the countries which the citizens are 90% rich

You don't know a govt of a country determine its citizen destiny , forget about what your religion teaches you.God is never wicked...you have a country that over 90 percent are rich and you have a country that 90 percent are poor...if you are poor in Nigeria, find your way to a country that is working , you will be rich

helinues:
Are you putting your life woes on Govt?

Today, Buhari has 21785 hours, or 907 days , or 129 weeks, or 29 months as the president of Nigeria.

How is your feeling on this, Good or Bad?

NORTHERN NIGERIA HAS BEEN BRINGING NIGERIA BACKWARD
THEY ARE THE ONE THAT WONT SUPPORT EDUCATION AND THEY ARE THE ONE THAT WANT POWER AT ALL COST.
INCOMPETENT SECURITIES CHIEFS THEY WONT CHANGE ....SHIOR

I WISH THE NORTH IS ANOTHER COUNTRY , THAT IS NOT PART OF NIGERIA....

Reasons why we pray with our eyes closed

Did the Bible instruct us always to close our eyes when we pray? The answer is no. The only thing Jesus told us about praying can be found in Matthew 6:5-6:

“Whenever you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, because they love to pray while standing in synagogues and on street corners so that people can see them. Truly I say to you; they have their reward. But whenever you pray, go into your room, close the door, and pray to your Father in secret. And your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you.”

And this is more of not trying to show off but instead genuinely praying from our heart not for people to see but from a desire to speak to God. There is no place in the Bible where it is clearly stated that we should close our eyes when we pray. But praying with our eyes closed, is very important for the following reasons.

1. To avoid distractions when we pray
The first reason why we close our eyes when we pray is to try to separate ourselves from our surroundings and every form of distractions so we can focus on our prayer. No matter where we are praying, whether it is in our private closet or a public meeting, there are many things that will inevitably distract us or try to take our attention and the only way to avoid them and focus on our prayer is to close our eyes while praying so that we can be focused and our hearts fixed on God while praying. And that takes us to the next point.


2. To quiet our minds and focus on God
When we pray, we want to do that with a quiet and clear mind so that we can fully focus on God. As we pray, we also meditate and try to listen to God speak to us. And that cannot be possible if we have a lot of things on our minds. So we close our eyes so we can focus on God, quiet our minds and fix our hearts on him.

3. To connect with God in the spirit realm
When we pray with our eyes closed, our physical eyes are closed, and we can transcend into the spirit realm. It is just like the way people try to do some form of meditation that makes them transcend beyond the physical realm. God is a spirit being, and when we close our eyes to pray, it gives us a sense of being drawn closer to God. It allows our spirit man to focus and connect with the spirit of God. Of course, our spirit is connected to God spirit even without our eyes closed, but in prayer, we are communicating with God more and connecting with him more.

4. To prevent the mind from wandering.
The mind can easily wander and closing our eyes helps us in preventing our hearts from wandering in the midst of prayers.


Although praying with our eyes closed is not a law and it is not compulsory, but it is a necessity for us to be effective when we pray. And with the eyes closed, we can choose to sit, stand, kneel or lie on the ground when we pray. But these are not the most important things. The most important thing when we pray is to praying from a genuine heart and an open heart. And also having the faith that God is able and willing to answer our prayers. And remember, pray without ceasing meaning pray always, make it a lifestyle because it is the will of God.

AND NOBODY DIED, USELESS GOVERMENT , STUPID FOLLOWERS

Who cursed Nigeria

From all these replies am getting, even from pastors, no one is sure and there is confusion..

Pastor righteousness, what can you then say to this
John 5 vs 25-30 (ERV)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
25. Believe me, an important time is coming. That time is already here. People who are dead will hear the voice of the Son of God. And those who listen will live.
26. Life comes from the Father himself. So the Father has also allowed the Son to give life.
27. And the Father has given him the power to judge all people because he is the Son of Man.
28. “Don’t be surprised at this. A time is coming when all people who are dead and in their graves will hear his voice.
29. Then they will come out of their graves. Those who did good in this life will rise and have eternal life. But those who did evil will rise to be judged guilty.
30. “I can do nothing alone. I judge only the way I am told. And my judgment is right, because I am not trying to please myself. I want only to please the one who sent me.

Righteousness89:
Whatever you need you need is in the Bible..
The things of God are not what you calculate or Relate with the fleshy mind or your sense. You obey, Follow and live by what the Bible says.

Revelation 20:11-15 There you will see the Great white throne Judgement which comes at the End..

Your Question is or was about what Happens to us once we Die..
I have told you Scripturally what happens!
It's up to you to receive or reject! I don't work with " My Sense" in the things of the Bible. I walk with what The Bible says..

When you or me Cross over! We will know how far!

Pastor righteousness, So you are saying no more particular judgement day for everyone , that everyone get judgment immediately after death.., pls back it up with Bible verses, and this is different from what pastor Kobojunkiee is quoting, same bible different believes...

Righteousness89:
My Brother! People are in Hell as we speak!
People are opening their eyes in Hell this Very Moment..
All who have died today and will die today without JESUS will enter Hell Fire today!!

People are in Heaven as we Speak!
People are opening their eyes in Heaven as we Speak!

It's all about the State in which you Departed the Earth. It's all about if you Accepted JESUS Christ or not.
The Moment one Dies! The Spirit man who is the real man leaves the body to go give account . This our body is mere dust.

See this testimony of this young man and you will understand the passage of the Rich man and Lazarus.

Just there in the grave doing nothing, awaiting judgement when the world ends?

Kobojunkiee:
I already told you.... they are there in the grave waiting for Jesus Christ to call them up,...

...just as Jesus Christ said.

Okay sir, so where are the dead and what are they doing presently?

Kobojunkiee:
There is no mystery at all because Jesus Christ did not hide the Truth of this from anyone. Remember that His truth has been with us all for 2000 years.
However, many choose to remain blind to it out of ignorance or some other reason. That in no way removes or diminishes the truth of God revealed to all mankind by Jesus Christ about 2000 years ago.

Exactly what I tot, until the end time, the world will be judged, there is a JUDGEMENT DAY, and then hell fire is created for the sinners..But all is still a misery .

Kobojunkiee:
According to Jesus Christ, there are no people in Heaven or Hell at this time. People will be ushered in AFTER He comes, not before.

By the way, Jesus Christ did not say what is written in the book of Hebrew. That is instead a letter supposedly written by Paul.

Thank you pastor Righteousness, but does it means people are currently in heaven and hell fire. And people who died yesterday are they in heaven or hell fire by now ?

Righteousness89:
Your Questions are rightly answered in the Bible in Words and in Practical.

Hebrews 9:27
27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

Luke 16:19-31

So won't unbelievers go to Hell fire again?

Kobojunkiee:
The entirety of the man rests waiting on God, according to the parable of the 10 virgins. Jesus Christ told of the girls all falling asleep while waiting on the Bridegroom, but He never mentions them needing to change clothes of bodies after waking up.




Unbelievers were condemned to die from the time of Adam. Since Adam did not eat the fruit from the tree of (Eternal Life), there was no afterlife for the unbelievers, even for Adama and Eve. When Jesus Christ came bearing the gift of Eternal life(an after life), He came to save those who will believe in Him.

When God told Adam that if He ate from the Tree of knowledge of Good and Evil, that He would surely die, God did not lie at all.



Adam was not birthed with Eternal life to begin with so the moment he died, it was indeed the end of Him(mind, body and soul).

It was a parable

blazepascal:
Mtchew when you think you know everything. what happened between the rich man and lazarus .the rich man ended up in hell. after death comes judgement.

Where have you seen that, what of judgment day ? So you want to say people are already in heaven and hell fire

RedNStripes:
After death, judgement

Is it the body that is sleeping or the soul that is sleeping?
And also you said the unbeliver will be perished and turn to dust, so unbeliever won't go to hell fire again?

Kobojunkiee:
They are in the grave where they were buried, sleeping, waiting to hear the voice of Jesus Christ to raise them again - that is what Jesus Christ said.

By the way, only those who believed in Jesus Christ will be raised from the dead... all those who did not are gone returned to dust/perished, and will never be again. Because they do not have eternal life as a result of their unbelief, they ceased to exist the moment they took their last breath.

And according to the scripture, No body has been given judgment for either Hell or Heaven until judgment day.
What of our fore fathers who died thousands years ago, where are they? And what are they doing? Waiting for the world to end?

After life has been a misery. And no one has died and has come back to life to give us any true account of it.
In various religion, different beliefs about After-life.
Even in Christianity, believe of After life, from catholic, Jehovah witness, protestants, Adventist, Methodist are different.
But in all these various religious beliefs, only one or none will be correct, so is there anyone who knows , where the dead will be and what they are doing, until judgment day

If judiciary is toothless bull dog, police will continue to treat them like this...but does endSars has any effect so far

RELIGION WILL ALWAYS TAKE PEOPLE BACKWARD...
EVEN SAUDI ARABIA AND UAE, THEIR EYES ARE OPENED WITH CIVILIZATION,

If our police system and judicial system is good, Nigeria will be good, because there will be justice..
No country can be developed if their police is bad

inforesource:
Be realistic, most of our schools are worse than the Nigerian Police cells. So, if you want to see change in our society, that is where it will start. All this police reform we are shouting is a joke.

If the Nigeria police should be reformed, consideration should be put to the issue of cell.
In all Police station, a cell is not fit for animal talk less for human being. And I always wonder where Nigeria borrow the standard we are using.

Ironically, most people who are locked up in cells are just suspect, but they are always treated like animals, and some people have died inside police station cells across the country because of its conditions

The International Committee of the Red Cross recommends that cells be at least 5.4 m2 in size, but in Nigeria we are far from standards

In Nigeria cells, there is no bed, no good toilets, no water, they don't have proper windows, no ventilations.
But in saner climes, they have these facilities, can't we develop too?

Most Nigerians will pay police the money they wanted to be freed because of the condition of the cells.
So I think by now, our government should build and renovates our cells to a modern one, that is in line with human dignity.

Normally our correctional system(prison), should be upgraded too to standards, so people can be rehabilitated too, but that's another talk in another day
But now , police cells should have dignity for suspects

Dear our leaders, pls let us develop too, so we can all enjoy this life too without traveling abroad
