To all my foreign friends and the Nigerians in the Diaspora who are curious to know what ASUU Strike is all aboutA:
ASUU Strike is an annual festival done in Nigerian Universities whereby students are not allowed to go to school during the festival. The date of the event is always fixed by the lecturers of Nigerian state and federal universities. The event is remarkable in that everyone is a spectator.
Highlight of the fe...stival is the wrestling match between federal executive council and the leaders of the lecturers. There is no referee to officiate the wrestling match, as such, the wrestling comes to an end when both contestants are tired. The duration of the festival is indefinite depending on the strength of the wrestlers. If you are wondering were to spend your vacation then Nigeria should be your destination because the festival is at its peak.
Happy ASUU STRIKE to Nigerian students!!!

Here is it again! sex is worth waiting for...........

SEX EDUCATION
1. "Why should I save sex until marriage?"
Here's a few good reasons for Christians to wait until they're married before having sex:
• Two-thirds of teens who have had sex wish they had waited.
• Those who save sex for marriage are far more likely to experience lasting sexual satisfaction with their spous...es.
• Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are at epidemic levels in this country. Most STDs occur in teens and young adults.
• Sexually active teens are more likely to be depressed.
• Sex typically speeds up the breakup of a relationship.
• Having sex can impact your reputation.
• You are special and worth waiting for!
• God designed sex in marriage to be between two people committed to each other for life (Genesis 2:24).
2. Is everybody really having sex?
Despite appearances to the contrary most teens are not having sex. Recent studies in the US show that over 50 percent of all high schoolers are virgins. Repeated surveys show that teens think more of their peers are sexually active than they actually are. Sexual activity, especially with guys, tends to be exaggerated. Studies also show that the majority of teens who have had sex wish they had waited longer.
3. What's wrong with viewing pornography?
Pornography devalues women, treating them as objects of desire rather than people, made in God's image, to be loved and cherished. Playboy founder Hugh Hefner admitted himself in a recent interview that he believes "women are sex objects" (2). Pornography also devalues sex and can be very seductive and habit-forming, with increasing needs for more sensational material. Exposure to pornography also leads to unrealistic expectations later in life. Viewing pornography detaches you from the “real world” and real relationships with people. Young men who routinely view pornography have to eventually get more and more increasingly hard-core pornography to get sexually stimulated.
4. What is a virgin?
According to the Medical Institute for Sexual Health, “A virgin is anyone who has never had sexual intercourse (oral, vaginal, or anal)”. Many teens falsely assume that they are still virgins if they only have MouthAction, but this is simply not true. MouthAction is sex, vaginal sex is sex, and anal sex is sex. Any time your sexual organs are sexually stimulated by the touch of another person, you’re involved in a form of sexual activity.
5. Is MouthAction a safe alternative?
While you cannot get pregnant through MouthAction, it is still clearly a sexual act, and most teens who engage in MouthAction will proceed to vaginal sex. One problem with MouthAction is that the intimacy of sex is removed. Many girls often feel used after performing the act. Furthermore, virtually all STDs can be transmitted through MouthAction. And some STDs, including genital Herpes, Syphilis, and Chlamydia are easily spread through MouthAction as well.
6. How far is too far?
As you probably know, the Bible does not give a clear limit as to how far a physical relationship may progress before marriage. Believe it or not, this is actually a good thing! Rather than micro-managing our lives, God gives us principles that we are to apply to our various relationships. Consider Philippians 4:8:
Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things.
I often ask my students to consider at what stage of physical progression it becomes impossible to dwell on things that are “pure, right, and honorable” as this passage teaches. Most teens I know agree that holding hands and a good-night peck pass the test. But, in their moments of honesty, most admit that deep prolonged kissing (and everything that comes after that) is difficult to do without thinking about things that are not pure, right, and honorable. I agree.
7. What steps can I take to save sex for marriage?
The first step in saving sex for marriage is making a personal commitment to yourself, your parents, and to God to wait until marriage. Choose friends who share your values. You can resist peer pressure more easily when you have friends to stand with you. Also, avoid being caught in a compromising situation (such as home alone without adult supervision, in a parked car, etc…). Remember that sex is progressive. Kissing can lead to touching, touching can lead to handling, and handling can lead to sex. Consider group dating. Not only can group dates often be more fun, but the temptations that happen on individual dates are typically removed. If you date individually, plan your dates and don’t push past your curfew. And never forget, saving sex for marriage is the greatest gift you can give yourself and your future spouse.
8. What if I've already had sex?
If you’ve already had sex and regret that decision, the first step is to stop having sex and begin with a renewed commitment to purity. Your past does not have to determine your future. Purity can begin today. Second, ask yourself some tough questions: Why did I start having sex? Was I pressured into it? Was I looking for love and thought sex would fill that void? Was I merely curious?
Third, experience God’s total forgiveness. 1 John 1:9 says:
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
God does not offer partial forgiveness, or conditional forgiveness, but total forgiveness. God loves you and desires that you experience the most fulfilling sex, love, and marriage relationship possible. To experience God’s best you must move forward today - regardless of your past - by making a commitment to save sex until marriage. I promise you, it is well worth the wait

homesteady: Bla BLa bla!! I've heard this many times!! Let All top Muslims officials come and denounce and condemn boko haram!! Then I'll believe there is a difference!!

Gbam!

zeem_bab: I work and live in J'borg. For some of us exparts living in SA, the burden of being a Nigerian is enormous. Simply because our kinsmen are at the fore front of drug dealing and many other social vices. Much that I condemn the act of these people, I think they have the right within the ambit of law to do whatever they deem neccesary to get rid of whatever constitute threat to their community.
--Ade lives in Sandton !

Factual, bt b kful.

Okiki_Oluwa: Sooo...sad! I pray for the well beign of the family.

Clap hands for them.

decrox199: I believe those vacancies will b strictly for indigenes...very tribal a state!

It is a pitiable abysma abysma and regretably lucubrous to know that ppl of your kind still exist in this cosmopolitant planet. Ur argument is irrational and unfounded. Infact, it lacks the substansive corelation to the issue at stake. Be ye transformed by renewing ur mind.

take dat: This is no cheering news cos its another opportunity for PDP chieftains, governors and his well wishers to do a fund raiser or allocate public fund to build a more befitting "fire proof" house for him.

Na true oo

1 shortblackboy: Will justice ever be served on d evil ones in this country ? Why were they so keen on proxtecting the senators identity?

If the saying is true, then, it is so disheartening. Men of wisdom says, 'It is against the capital ethics of the Muslim faith to live in peace with the Xtian. Something urgent should be done in this country.

Senior coleaques in nland, any info about about those that applied with ND, i mean, Operational Trainee?
