I totally agree with mlks_baby and she has really given some insights into this whole thing that I had not thought about or heard of before.The critical thing is to keep our focus on Him and not be disuaded by what science can prove of God or disprove for that matter.

In the days that are approaching,more and more people will manifest a brazen disrergard for the word of God because even Jesus himself said so.A few months ago when a series of Hurricanes hit the American continent and someone asked me how hurricanes are formed, I wanted to give what I remember of my geography class in secondary school but it then dawned on me that it is God that keeps the elements in check by the boundaries He has set for them.

Science can seek to explain the things that God create but He is still the creator.

I digress.Sorry.but I really agree with mls_baby. really would like to stay in touch.thanks for the learning!

Yes, the name of mthe author is grant Jefferey and I think the title of the book is the signature of God.Interestingly, the basic research of the Bible codes were done by Non Christian/non Mesiianaic Jews who were only fidling with a supre computer that could do multiple calcualtions.Will try to get the book and reda through.
ps:I remember that the book can not be used to tell the future but every events as they unfold are written in it through codes of the Hebrew alphabet that are number sensitive.

I am yet to wtach the film but i do rememeber that there was a man named who wrote a book called the sugnature of God and the detailed all these hidden codes in the bible and how they were very precise in happening.As a christian, I believe that the word of God is tru and that as the end draw near, God will begin to manifest in ways that those who are discerning will know that the Bible is not just an historical book.

Ife na Ife anyday.

From the first day I came in and observed how the structure seems to appear as we drove up road one, I knew that I was in for an adventure of a lifetime.

An Ife graduate is loved,hated envied and all. I know it. We entered a hall and everyone knows it. I was at wedding last weekend and the schoolmate of the bride (non Ife alumnus) who were more than us in numbers were so jealous when it was our time to take pictures.Of course, the Ife anthem and everyone wished thay had gone to Ife.

In 98, during my service year, I had come to Lagos for a visit when the University of lagos hosted the NUGA games.They just could not understand how Ife people can come from their school and oppresss them in Lagos.We played them in the final where they outnumberd us at least twenty to one.This is how it went:

Their team had arrived earlier than us and parked their bus at the car park (good boys).The Ife team arrived as if they owned the Onikan pitch and parked right infront of the spectator stand with the shouts of great Ife!!! (oppression 1)

When it was time for the anthem, the good Unilag footballers took the Nigerian National Anthem with their Ife counter parts.At the end of the anthem, great ife footballers and the few alumnus and supporters that came sang the old anthem and the great Ife Anthem (oppression 2)

Where we sat, they almost skinned us alive,trying to tell us how the University of lagos was ahead of Ife , bla, bla, they could not understand that we not being students could be so loyal to our alma mater.

Our supporters club skilled in traditional and situational melodies overshadowed the UNILAG team to the point that it took the intervention of the police and the 'area boys' who were 'in charge' of Onikan (in whose corner the Ife supporters sat after paying homage through 'idobale') to save their neck.

The Ife team lost by two goals to one and the unilag students thought they had the upper hand and they rushed back to their schools to prepare the ground for the final humilaition of the 'great Ife ' team that beat their basketball team.

Then the Ife joker;rather than sulk and moan the loss,they began a celebration that was an adaptation of a popular praise song 'a du pe ko ju meji lo' ( we give thanks that the defeat -of our team- was not more tha two goals) and made the trip back to the UNILAG campus and Auditorium annoucing to the bilwedered UNILAG students that Great Ife can not be defeated!

you will see it in every eyes and in the statements of all Nigerian undergraduates;Ife is different and it is either they acknowledge that or be humbled by the reality.

Great Ife!

The recent closure was bad and when i learnt the reason for the closure, I did not beleive it and asked from some of my 'aburos' who are still undergraduates.What business is it of the muslims if the Awo boys are watching Mojo? Does it disturb their none wacthing it?
I lived in Awo from my second year to my graduation and I have come to recognise that much of the things that the so called "Awo boys' do are just hype. If you do not join them,they will not force you (except you are a jamibite who is afraid that if you dont come out for Aluta, you will receive shi shi).For agroup of people to go and tell adults like themselves not to watch a film they so choose is the height of disrespect.

The best that can be done is to appeal- if they have nothing better to do with their time.What is coming when they resume is that no one will address this and the individuals behind it because we are always afraid that fundamentalist will cause trouble if they are singled out for rebuke with out the other religion being reprimanded as well.

Whe I was in part three, it happened to Sports hall boys and muslims too?Cant issues of faith be communicated between adults without a resort to violence?
