European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Guardiola Snubs Ronaldo by engrtee(op): 1:06am On Jan 10, 2013 |
Luis Suarez and Patrice Evra, John Terry and Anton Ferdinand, Samir Nasri and William Gallas, Terry (again) and Wayne Bridge, and now Pep Guardiola and Cristiano Ronaldo. The snubbed handshake is fast becoming football’s equivalent of unfriending someone on Facebook. But while previous examples have had their origins in personal slights, it seems the latest entry to the list has its origins in good old fashioned club rivalry. Tensions between Real Madridand Barcelona are well known.Styles, cultures and attitudes both on and off the field are all wildly different and with thecompetitive edge thrown in, it makes for a fractious relationship. One can only speculate on thereason behind Guardiola’s seemingly deliberate decision to ignore Ronaldo, though withthe recent history in El Clasicogives a pretty large hint. Red cards, close games, touchline clashes, title clinchers and cup finals have all made the meeting of Spain’s top two the most enticing of matches in world football. But when former Barca boss Guardiola was approached by Madrid ace Ronaldo, the Spaniard stared for a second before turning away, leaving the Portuguese’s hand hanging in the air. The look on Ronaldo’s face told a story of bemusement, while Pep went back to soaking up the atmosphere. Www.dailypost/ng |

Django unchained is a great movie. One of the best of 2012. It is a movie about a freed slave trying to free his wife. However, it brought back a repressed memory.
There is a scene in the movie where a slave-master read the bible before whipping a slave with a horsewhip. At that very moment, both my fists and jaw were clenched in anger as a forgotten memory was brought back to life by that scene. I remembered my baptism and confirmation preparation in my catholic church as a young boy;
-the reverend father was giving a long speech about being a new person in God after we (the teenagers ready to be baptised) had already done a 1-hour preparation for the baptism. I needed to use the toilet and couldnt hold it anymore and so, I made my way out. The rev. father noticed me and asked where I was going and I told him that I needed to use the toilet. The next thing I know, he knocked me on the head and was shouting at me to get back on the line. He did this with the bible in one hand. I had to wait another 30 mins to ease myself.
Christians have to live in denial that their holy book doesnt condone violence and slavery. When you give power to a book that contains such violence, do you really expect that some people wont take it literally rather then metaphorically?
Now, one can easily say that the reverend father here does not represent all clergy men. True, but he represents a significant number of clergymen who advocated violence on the weak and those deemed to be heretics. From popes in the 13th century to witch-slapping Oyedepo.
Christianity and slavery is something that remains a dark stain in our history that still lingers today. It lingers today in the form of blacks who are physically free but now mentally enslaved to a religion of their slave-masters. my dad used to teach me to urinate and excrete every morning so as not to be pressed away from home. Were you taught that? |

Christianity Etc › Re: Atheists Please Tell Us About Your Conversion And Deconversion Stories by engrtee(f): 7:46pm On Jan 09, 2013 |
2good: 1. Your conversion story: I was born into religion. My whole family is deeply religious so I got it by default. It was installed in my brain from birth.
2. Experiences in the church/mosque: I started as a Roman catholic as a Child and started going to Pentecostal church around the age of 6. I was later an acclaimed born again Christian as expected of me by the society. I preached(disturbed) in public places including bus and I was very much involved in school fellowship in Secondary School up to JSS 3.
3. Duration as believer: I'll say 15 years
4. When and why you began to lose faith.: Age 15
5. Your deconversion story: Things started to change when I entered Science class in SS 1 and started becoming very academically conscious and studying deeply. As I became more knowledgeable, I made up my mind that everything I had been thought from birth concerning religion was false and my parent treathen to kick me out of the house for refusing to go to church. It would take me between 2-3 years battle with my parent for them to allow me live my life the way I want to. Till today every single one of them think my soul is lost to the devil so they fast sometimes for me to go back to their god but I just laugh and tell them to pray for something else and leave me alone
in esence, your induction to science class made you acquire scientific knowlegde which contradicted religous belief. And you chose science instead of religon. If you had been a nonscience student,you may still have been a christian |

The problem is that there is no room for enginers to work. Most of d work is actualy technician work.e.g:: :
mechanical engineers design new machines and cars. In nigeria, there is no toyota, volvo and car company in nigeria. What we have is importation and exportation. In PAN, PEAUGEOT,u will find mechanical engineers there. The engineers have to settle for supervising technicians.:: :- |
