I know the Bible says that knowing Jesus is the only way to get to heaven. But there are people in remote parts of the world who may never get a chance to hear about God or Jesus. What happens to them when they die?

What makes modern religious girls (born-gains) unattractive for marriage?

Please I am not judging or rushing to conclusion. But I visited a church and had attended many churches and it shocks me to see the number of educated, beautiful, working class ladies in their late 30’s trooping to answer alter-calls, sometime crying openly in church to find a husband. Sometime I wonder what part of them don’t men (even brothers in the same church) see? These ladies appear to have it all -shape, education, career, beauty etc. Why are they not getting married despite their credentials? Does it mean these ladies only trooped to church when things have already gone wrong in their lives? Are they being rewarded for past lives? Do men (even Christian men) not find them marriageable? What are they doing wrong?

Please pour your mind and experiences out here. Let’s help people understand. Let’s offer practical solutions.

Restitution is a must in our christian Faith, else we make shipwreck of our faith.
1 Tim 1:19, Holding faith and a good conscience. By rejecting conscience certain persons have made shipwreck of their faith.
NB: before you restitute God will first of all hold you on your consciecnce, lets take this in a more direct ways, before you got saved you are just a sinner and there are sins that God will tell you to restitute by holding your conscience, at this time christians got confused because it is hard and their questions often is this, have i not accepted Him? Am i not save? But i tell you it is part of transitioning into everlasting because in God there is no darkness. But when you do it, the weight will be lifted from you, one of things that actually happens after salvation is resurrection of conscience, God knows that it is almost impossible to chasten someone without conscience . A christian without is dead.
1 John 3:19-21, By this we shall know that we are of the truth and reassure our hearts before Him whenever our hearts condemn us
20, for God is greater than our Hearts and he knows everything
21, Beloved, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God.
I wonder How we christians live with our conscience when we do something wrong, but if your conscience is not right God, you cannot commiune with Him. So brethren restitution is require of every christian who calls Him/herslf a Christian. The reason why some people jump this is to avoid the offence of the cross. But i tell you today you are not a christian when you shy away from persecution. Bible said '' for so persecuted them that were prophet before you, book of Heb 12:4. You have resisted unto blood, striving with sin. This is the level christianity that our fathers were in. People Stephen, Peter, John, others, they never shortcuted anything less than what Jesus thought. They followed the doctrine of Jesus. Todays Christians don't want to pay the price to be with the Master, but i tell you if shortcut RESTITUTION, your salvation is built on sand

Jeel:
Restitution basically is paying for your wrongs.

So as a Christian today should we restitute?

Pls support your stand with cogent reasons and scriptures if possible. Thank you!

I made this analysis based on facts, not trying to condemn any network provider, there's always room for improvement though.

Now let's get down to business.

Subscribing

1. Insert your Airtel SIM card in your phone and Dial *312*1# to migrate to smarttrybe, still on the platform subscribe either to N25 for 500mb by choosing option 2 or subscribe to N50 for 1.5gb by choosing option 3, you don't have to send a message to any code number unlike MTN where you send "Night to 131" and in most cases, the message gets hanged, if the message finally gets through, it will be difficult to browse with it.


Multiple Options

2. Airtel have Two options to choose from, it's either you go for N25 for 500mb or N50 for 1.5gb, as you all know, MTN has only One option which is N25 and it is capped at 500mb and most times you ended up using half of that allocated MBs.


Zapping

3. Airtel has No zapping of data either on N25 for 500mb or N50 for 1.5gb, I'm a witness to that, I strictly monitor my data usage, not even 1mb would be zapped, because I queued up my downloads during the day time and at night I just start clicking on the download buttons, there would be no need of searching for file or movies to download thereby letting some data to slip through, MTN N25 for 500mb zaps alot, sometimes u ended up using 250mb the best you can use is 400mb if at all you're lucky.


Subscription Period

4. Airtel subscription time starts from 12midnight and ends 5am. MTN in the other hand starts from 12midnight and ends by 4.00am but most times it stopped at 3.30am, if u no use up ur 500mb before that time, ur name na sorry.


Download Rate

5. The best download rate you can get on Airtel night plan is 13m/s and the least is 2m/s, this is not a joke I have pictures to attest to this. The best you can get on MTN night plan is 2m/s and the least is 500kb/s.


Multiple SIM Cards

6. In Airtel night plan, you don't have to use multiple Airtel SIM cards, One Airtel SIM card is enough for you for the night, you can keep subscribing once you run out of data within this time bracket (12midnight to 5am) "omo na this one dey sweet me pass" . You will need minimum of 10 MTN SIM cards, maximum uncountable to do their night plan, very very stressful I most tell you and at the end of the day you will not be able to use up to 4 SIM cards Abi no be so


Data Allocation

7. Like I stated in number 6 above, you don't need multiple Airtel SIM cards to do your subscription, One SIM card is just enough to do the magic for you for that night, do you know that you can get as much as 15gb of data for just N500 in one night I can feel you shouting WoW!!! Oh yes it is very possible to get 15gb for N500 by subscribing N50 for 1.5gb everytime your data get exhausted in multiple of 10 times, now do the calculation yourself, simple as that. Multiple SIM cards on MTN to do your subscription and at the end of the day you will get frustrated using only 4 SIM cards which amount to N100 for 2gb of data per night, if at all you're lucky to use up to that 2gb.



8. You can add yours if you have any.
pls be informed that I'm open to criticism but never you misuse it, thank you.

davesd:
Nairalanders, this very topic brought some arguments between me and my friends. I need your comments on the post 'Is it right to pray before having sex with your Boyfriend/Girlfriend?' Especially if she/he is to spend a night with you. Should one pray for God's protection through the night. And equally forgiveness of sin before the night sleep of which sex will be involved?

The head of an international criminal network behind thousands of online frauds has been arrested in a joint operation by INTERPOL and the Nigerian Economic and Financial Crimes Commission
(EFCC).
The 40-year-old Nigerian national,
known as ‘Mike’, is believed to be
behind scams totaling more than USD
60 million involving hundreds of
victims worldwide. In one case, a
target was conned into paying out
USD 15.4 million.
The network compromised email
accounts of small- to medium-sized
businesses around the world,
including in Australia, Canada, India,
Malaysia, Romania, South Africa,
Thailand and the US, with the financial
victims mainly other companies
dealing with these compromised
accounts.
Heading a network of at least 40
individuals across Nigeria, Malaysia
and South Africa which both provided
malware and carried out the frauds,
the alleged mastermind also had
money laundering contacts in China,
Europe and the US who provided bank
account details for the illicit cash
flow.
Following his arrest in Port Harcourt
in southern Nigeria, a forensic
examination of devices seized by the
EFCC showed he had been involved in
a range of criminal activities including
business e-mail compromise (BEC) and
romance scams.
The main two types of scams run by
the 40-year-old that targeted
businesses were payment diversion
fraud – where a supplier’s email
would be compromised and fake
messages would then be sent to the
buyer with instructions for payment
to a bank account under the
criminal’s control – and ‘CEO
fraud’.
In CEO fraud, the email account of a
high-level executive is compromised
and a request for a wire transfer is
sent to another employee who has
been identified as responsible for
handling these requests. The money is
then paid into a designated bank
account held by the criminal.
'Mike' first came onto the law
enforcement radar through a report
provided to INTERPOL by Trend Micro,
one of its strategic partners at the
INTERPOL Global Complex for
Innovation (IGCI) in Singapore. This,
combined with actionable analysis and
intelligence from Fortinet Fortiguard
Labs in 2015, enabled specialists at
the INTERPOL Digital Crime Centre,
including experts from Cyber Defense
Institute based at the IGCI, and the
EFCC to locate the suspect in Nigeria,
resulting in his arrest in June.
Abdul Chukkol, Head of the EFCC’s
Cybercrime Section said the
transnational nature of business e-
mail compromise makes it complex to
crack, but the arrest sent a clear
signal that Nigeria could not be
considered a safe haven for criminals.
“For a long time we have said in
order to be effective, the fight
against cybercrime must rely on
public-private partnerships and
international cooperation,” said
Mr. Chukkol.
“The success of this operation is the
result of close cooperation between
INTERPOL and the EFCC, whose
understanding of the Nigerian
environment made it possible to
disrupt the criminal organization’s
network traversing many countries,
targeting individuals and
companies,” added Mr. Chukkol.
Noboru Nakatani, Executive Director
of the IGCI warned that BEC poses a
significant and growing threat, with
tens of thousands of companies
victimized in recent years.
“The public, and especially
businesses, need to be alert to this
type of cyber-enabled fraud,” said
Mr. Nakatani.
“Basic security protocols such as
two-factor authentication and
verification by other means before
making a money transfer are essential
to reduce the risk of falling victim to
these scams.
“It is exactly through this type of
public and private sector cooperation
that INTERPOL will continue to help
member countries in bringing
cybercriminals to justice no matter
where they are,” concluded
Mr. Nakatani.
The 40-year-old, along with a 38-year-
old also arrested by Nigerian
authorities, faces charges including
hacking, conspiracy and obtaining
money under false pretences. Both
are currently on administrative bail as
the investigation continues.

So no, you will not lose your salvation by avoiding church, and you cannot earn your salvation by attending church.

marshborn:
A friend of mine was involved in a a motor accident on his way makurdi, somewhere in a remote part of benue state, according to eye witnesses he became unconscious and was rushed to the local health centre around that area for first aid treatment.

The good samaritans that helped were able to locate his two phones and they tried contacting his family or friends to inform them of his where about, but to their disappointment the two phones were locked. He stayed in the state of coma for two good days before finally giving up the ghost, because the local health centre lacked the professionals to keep him alive.
Had his phone been accessible he might have stood a better chance of being alive today.

So avoid putting a screen lock on all your phones, it's okay to lock certain applications that may contain personal messages and informations e.g mobile banking app, WhatsApp e.t.c. but at least leave the contact list accessible to everybody, DON'T PUT A SCREEN LOCK.
This might just save your life.
