looking for the "epic'"

Aunty, so you don't know handing over after elections is may 29th. Buhari if he loses, would still be president for close to three months..and not a week as David is ignorantly saying.

Oyo state has been quite the experience for me since i was posted there, August last year.

The village where I serve, Agbonle, is barely developed. It has had no light for a couple years, terrible network connectivity amongst other missing prominent features of civilisation, but I stay there because of service/help I can render to the villagers and students whom i teach and equip for a good future.

I wont forget in a hurry though, the 6th of December last year, me and my fellow corpers narrowly escaped an accident. Twice, our driver (one of us) nearly lost control of the bus. Lots of factors were at play: the bus had an issue, the road was as terrible as usual and the passengers (the rest of us corpers) were tensed at every bump.

Those two times, the bus made sudden extreme swerves to the surrounding bushes. The first time, our driver regained control of the bus before it ran into a ditch and the second time, just before we took a somersault into a tree.

It was serious tension in the bus; words borne out of frustration came flying out.
We were on our way to the Local Government Secretariat for our monthly clearance. The bus later died on us before we were halfway in the 2hrs journey.

A lot happened though we finally got cleared and came home.

But that trip taught me a number of things.

As we stood by that roadside stuck in the middle of nowhere, waiting for help, varying human behaviours played out.

While on that road, men of the Nigerian Police Force rode by in their pick up and we tried flagging them down, how ignorant of us. They simply smiled at us from inside, waved as they answered our plea with chants of 'corpers o'.

We were distraught. If there was anyone supposed to help, shouldn't it have been them?

We tried flagging down other road travellers but most just waved and passed. Let me not tell you above the elder from the "Corpers' church" that acted in like manner. To say we were exasperated, is the least.

When all hopes began to plummet and frustration soared, an angel in the form an elderly man stopped to help us. He tried to help fix the bus, drove some of us(as much as his vehicle could contain) to the next town, brought a mechanic from that town back to the incident point. His very presence and help was a great succour to our weary souls. The bus didn't later work; our journey back is another story on its own.

But the sacrifice of my fellow corpers that stayed back to help fix the bus, passed through the stress of pushing it, and eventually walked the dusty dry road while hoping for a vehicle that would convey them to the next town where we were, showed me communal spirit.
You see why I love these guys? We've been through a lot.......

Meanwhile, at some other random church, your uncle's being told by another pastor that your father is the one responsible for killing his brothers.
Witchcraft didn't ruin your family, but believing a stupid unfounded prophecy could. Be wise.

Edit: You could also have a terminal illness running in your family. But then, what do I know? Bleep science and reason, your dead Savior is the solution.. Sigh..

May God forgive you...u better stop denying the presence and reality of the supernatural realm.....u might even be under its influence, who knows??..........

Normally, the processor is programmed to destroy every data in the memory space after deleting from the recycle bin.

The recycle bin was created to recover deleted files. Anything inside the recycle bin is still inside the computer memory but immediately you delete from recycle bin, it's gone forever.

When you erase something you wrote with a pencil, you definitely can't get it back even if you are able to pack the particles on your paper together.

Bro...that's not entirely true...even after deleting from the recycle bin...files can be recovered.through the aid of third party softwares like easy recovery and others......I had to get one of them recently to retrieve something i had deleted from ma recycle bin......

Theres extreme fuel scarcity everywhere....Few cars are plying the roads, offices and shops are shutting down cos there's no fuel to buy.......And this is the case in most states.....

Is this the change we voted in or asked for?? Why ain't we questioning the president?? I'm sure if Jonathan were still power...we would have finished him over this..

Lehs make our leaders accountable!!

It is well!!

How do we know Christianity is true and we are not deceived? There are a lot of competing truth-claim systems in the world. How do we know that we as Christians are believing what is true and are not deceived?

You don't!! That's why its all based on faith....Faith in God, in his son!! And by the way...Miracles, deliverances, healings which we see happening around us are a proof to the unbelievers that its all real!!
