Let me translate it for you in 3 languages:

Ori e ti daru, werey
U are crazy, mad man
Uhomwhon si'weh ma gba, Omemhen weh khin, Ozuo

Now that i abused you on nairaland, can i do d same to you on twitter? Do i know u on twitter?

Do i sound sensible to you now?
Does his parable sound sensible to you now?
I read your trash and weep for your brainlessness.
The high propensity of weed you just took is now making you write in different languages....in which only fools like you can interpret.
Like i said....only the wise can interpret while the foolish and weed addict wallow in ignorance.

Think what? Not everyone is as foolish as you. Now let me educate you on why nobody is taking you seriously.

You say 95% of the females on Facebook are slay queens and all that, please where did you get that statistics from? Or did you form it from your anus?? If you got it from a research post the link here & educate us. angry

Even if we take your anus smelling statistics to be true, doesn't that also mean that 95% of the females on RCCG Facebook page are slay queens? Why is he now entertaining them?? It was a stupid statement and became worse by your shameless explanation.

Do you even know what YouTube is? It's a video sharing website where people just search for what they want to watch. Inukwaa?? angry

Let's go with your assumption now & say that a man hooks up with a woman on Facebook and she turns out to be a slay queen. Do you think the person cannot be forgiven and turn a new leaf and lead a happy married life?

John 1 - 11: Jesus forgave a woman whonhad committed adultery. Do you assume she didn't lead a positively changed life after that?

This is why nobody takes you seriously, this is why you are foolish. Please accept it & hug transformer.
[b] I don't blame you.
Your mentality is no different from that of a goat.
U are as stupid as what you just typed up there.
Am not going to argue with a shameless Fool....who cannot use is brain to think critically.
Because you don't take me serious does not mean everybody is as foolish as you are.
You said he was entertainin them....mumu how? Is he not talking to his members....why you carry him mata for head....are Rccg members not on facebuk....is he not advising them to be carefull with women they meet on fb....like i said earlier u are just as senseless as your post.....you were not there when he was preaching...you just come down here and start ranting nonsense.
Guy just Bleep ya ass off......u are no different from the group of fools here.

james2man:
And what's the parable in his statement? Stop trying to justify his statement with Parable. Even couples who met on different platform have dissolution,divorce cases. We have heard cases where pastors slept with the wife of his members, so what's the big deal in his parable?
The sense in his statement is that 95% of women on facebook are not right and just for a wife material.....is not that he is against facebook relationships but because of the rate of immorality and adultery that it is at is peak on facebook compared to the one you meet in other places.
Guy sit down and think dix tin and see hw youtube relate to it.

lols... everything has processes and stages. Its not like you'd meet someone on Facebook today and marry her tomorrow. Of course when you meet someone on social media and arrange to meet in person, if you are interested you can develop the relationship and see where it takes you guys. People meet people on the road, banking halls, super market, start up a conversation and at the end of the day get married. My point is that it doesnt really matter where you meet someone as long as he or she has what you need in a spouse. Some people met on social media and are best of friends today
nice one bro......at least i can still see a reasonable point here.

Man, you didn't make any valid point in trying to defend your master who feels his opinion should be swallowed by all.
point of correction he is not my master he is just a servant of God
Firstly, you talked about experience in this about life issues and all so alligning his experience and this present discussion makes his experience invalid. Talking of FB experience, lots of Nigerians are facebook users as long or more than he has ever used it so what makes him more experienced in this aspect? yes everybody use it but not everybody that use it have sense of moral

Secondly, you mentioned slay mamas but you didn't tell us what your point is
my point is that you should avoid slay mama as wife material

Thirdly, you said 95% of FB girls wants to feel among. Let it be known to you that almost everyone is on FB so the sly mamas, peperdem gang are the same girls you see in church on Sunday. If you decide not to meet girls on facebook, you are still going to meet girls that are on facebook.
you will still meet girls on facebook but you will know the type of girl you are dealing with.

Your claim about seeing your wife's naked pics on facebook makes no sense or perhaps you couldn't deliver your point. because u lack sense of reasonin.....

In conclusion, don't ever try to sound stupid cos you're trying to make sense outta nonsense . What Adeboye said is just his opinion and doesn't mean it's right or wrong
you are the one sounding stupid for not using ur brain to tell you that he is advising you to desist from slay mamas on facebook

Well.....let give respect to whom respect is due......even if you can't respect him as a pastor...respect his old age,he senior most of you parents and he is more experienced on life issues than you are.
So let lay constructive criticisms without going biased on our opinion on this issue.
Me and you know what trends on Facebook....d slay mamas,slay queen,mhiz disand u knw that 95% of our girls want to feel belong,when they see their friends dressing unclad because of likes.
So i will take it that the man is just trying to tell you that you should be cautious and carefull when choosing your wife and not adviceable to pick from facebook.
So if you marry slay queen and d likes.....just be getting ready to be slayed when you later find her nudes/sex videos on youtube.
He that has hear let him hear......

CareerMust Read: Coding, Robotics And The Jobs Of The Future by Evinsco(op): 11:21pm On Mar 31, 2017
Came across this article and find it invaluable to share to nairalanders.

Since as early as the 1800’s, fears of robots taking over human jobs has been a reality. As we enter the true age of robotics, those concerns are resurfacing, and educators are unsure about what jobs their students will be competing for. For example, IT jobs will grow by 22% through 2020 and jobs in STEM are said to see similar growth. Educators are expected to equip their students with skills that will translate into careers and yet they have no idea what these skills should be. While timeless skills such as critical thinking, languages and mathematics aid in every career they do not provide the specialized skills that “jobs of the future” may require. So, what are the jobs of the future and how can be best prepare students for them?

Programming jobs are growing 50 percent faster than the market overall. With such a rapidly growing market, it is important to note that not all coding jobs fall within the technology sector. Health care, manufacturing, and finance are in need of coders as is the tech industry. If current K12 students are to fill these positions, they need to be engaging with STEM subjects from a young age. Coding products and “beginner guides” are being marketed to children as young as three, in the hopes of encouraging a coding passion.
Coding is the backbone of many technologies, and in the future, it will be an important tool for entrepreneurs and innovators. However, only one in 10 U.S. schools teach children to code, and so companies look to cheaper (foreign) coders for positions available in the USA. If schools are to align themselves with the future job prospects of their students, it is vital that coding is a skill rather than just an aspect touched on in computer class.
Robotics is another career field that will set to see exponential growth. The global competition to create artificial intelligence (AI) is aggressive, and robotics engineers are pioneered as the jobs of the future. As with coding, the need for robotics is across job sectors and is not solely focused on creating IA. In 2015, the robotics industry saw a 15% increase in sales, which goes to show that people are making and buying more robots than ever.

The Robot Academy and other organization, have realized the lack of robotics in traditional school curriculums and aimed to provide resources for both teachers and students. STEM subjects are vital for future careers in the robotics sector, and if students are not offered the opportunity to create, program and think of robotics, there will be a shortage of these skills in the future.
However, not all “jobs of the future” have their roots in technology. According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics,these are some of the “Top 30 Fasted Growing Jobs by 2020.”

*.Veterinarians

*.Mental Health Counselors

*.Meeting, convention, and event planning

*.Home health aids

What is particularly interesting about these jobs is that they have a very “human “aspect to them. So while coding and robotics may seem at the forefront, there is still a need for care and humanity; virtues that need to be instilled along with coding and STEM principals. This is reassuring for humanities students who may feel threatened by the future looking geared to those with mathematical abilities.
As educators, it is important to teach skills that will be invaluable. Fostering a love of learning, a commitment to innovation and ethics are fundamental to any position. By understanding the jobs of the future, educators can better prepare themselves and ensure that the curriculum is in line with the expectations and job openings that will be available.

EducationUTME: JAMB Reduces Questions, Exam Hours. by Evinsco(op): 4:15pm On Mar 30, 2017
With effect from 2017, candidates sitting for the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination would spend two hours instead of three hours, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board said on Wednesday.
The test on Use of English which used to be 100 questions has been reduced to 60 questions, while the other three subjects would be 40 questions each, making a total of 180 questions.
The organisation said the reduction in hours was in line with international best standards and practices where no candidate sits for an examination such as UTME for more than two hours.

The Registrar/Chief Executive of JAMB, Prof. Is-haq Oloyede, announced the changes in Kaduna during the commencement of a strategic planning retreat on monitoring, supervision and evaluation of 2017 UTME with the theme, ‘Inclusiveness and sensitisation of key external actors.’
Oloyede said, “We are going to reduce the duration of the examination for this year’s UTME. You cannot keep children of this age for three hours. For their age, the maximum time you can keep them is two hours. So, we are considering the reduction in the time they spend because once it is more than two hours, you can’t expect that they will retain their presence of mind.”

JAMB also announced innovation in the use of computer for the test, saying, “From the general feedback on the adoption of the Computer Based Test mode, we have noted the challenge of computer low level literacy of some candidates, especially with the phobia for the mouse. This has been responsible partly for the call by some people for reversal to the Paper and Pencil Test mode. In order to ensure equity and level playing field for all candidates taking the UTME, JAMB has designed a system that will allow candidates to use only eight keys without the use of the mouse.
“All the candidates need to do is to press the letters A,B,C,D for responses(answer) to questions and keys: P = Previous question, N = Next question, S = Submit responses when candidate has finished examination R = Reverse (do not intend to go further to submit again).”

JAMB also said special privileges would be accorded to blind candidates in the UTME, including “the transportation and accommodation of every blind candidate and one guide.”
Oloyede said, “In order to amplify the past efforts and also expand the frontiers of equity and inclusiveness, we have met with the executive committee of the Association of Blind Persons in Nigeria at the board’s headquarters in Abuja in February 2017 and we also met with prospective blind candidates from a school for the blind in Lagos about two weeks ago at the University of Lagos.
“The outcome of these meetings revealed that while the challenged group fully appreciates the board’s recent efforts at improving and upgrading the facilities for the administration of the board’s examination for the blind candidates.
He added that out of the 13 commercial banks and the Nigeria Postal Service that signified interest in the sales of the admission forms, only nine had paid for the number of application documents required in the first instance.
He said, “As part of our approach to the ideal of inclusiveness, we invited all Central Bank of Nigeria approved commercial banks to participate in the sale of the 2017 Board’s application documents. Sixteen commercial banks and NIPOST honoured and attended the interactive session where we explained the reason and need for all of them to partake in the exercise.
Oloyede added in pursuit of the all-inclusive approach of JAMB, JAMB had to patronise the NIPOST which could reach remote towns and villages.
“Even when NIPOST could not raise the capital to purchase the pins for the application documents, we had to open a credit line for NIPOST to also vend pin and pay later without reducing the commission that the organisation is entitled to per sale of document.”
