Why the insults bruv?

remember.......'no knowledge no power'?

.. The Late Colonel Muammar Gaddafi ruled Libya for 42
years, and after the uprising of the Libyan people, he
was killed as he was trying to escape Libya in a
convoy when NATO bombed it and he was caught
and then killed with bullet wounds to his head and
body. Colonel Muammar Gaddafi was labelled as a 'tyrant',
a 'terrorist' and a 'dictator', but was he really a bad
leader of Libya? Even though there was no
democracy in Libya, the facts about Libya and the
way it was ruled in the list below, doesn't do any
justice to Colonel Muammar Gaddafi. The list below may give you some insight into the
good side of the the ruling of Libya by Muammar
Gaddafi. If it is/was all true, then in the aspect of
providing for his people, he doesn't really seem like a
bad ruler because if he did provide for his people,
then he must have had a good side to him.





........................................................ 1.
ELectricity was free for all libyans..



.......................... 2. Loans in Libya are free with 0% interest as banks
are state owned.................. 3Homes are considered a human right in Libya –
Gaddafi vowed that his parents would not get a
house until everyone in Libya had a home. Gaddafi’s
father has died while him, his wife and his mother
were still living in a tent..................................




4....All newly married people in Libya receive US$
50,000 by the government to buy their first home to
help the new family...........................................




5.. Medical treatment and education are free in Libya.
Before Colonel Muammar Gaddafi ruled the country,
only 25% of Libyans were literate. Today the figure is
around 83%.....................................................................................................





6. If Libyans wanted to take up farming as a career,
the government funded people from equipment to
seeds, all for free......................................




7Petrol price in Libya is around $0.14 per litre. .......................................:





8...... The Libyan government would fund anyone who
got a degree and if they could not get Tttjuemployment,
and they would receive income as if they were
employed until they got a job.....................................



9......A family would get US $5,000 if they had a new...
baby to support the childs upbringing. 13. 40 loaves of bread in Libya costs around $0.15. 14. 25% of Libyans have a university degree. ............................................................................................... DO YOU STILL THINK MUAMMAR GHADAFFI WAS REALLY A BAD LEADER.......................EVEN OUR PRESENT CANNOT DO AS MUCH AS HE HAD DONE FOR LIBYA...

Many people have been wondering what could be the
cause of the incessant tyre burst accidents on
Nigerian roads everyday. The major cause is that we inflate too much pressure
on our tyres. How did I know? I was preparing for a long journey, and decided to
changed some of my tyres. When I asked the
vulcanizer the recommended Air pressure for the
tyres, He said 50. I said alright, he should inflate it to
50 all round. When I got to where I was going, I was discussing
with some people on the issue of the minister that
died on the road due to a burst tyre and wonder what
could have happened, because nobody could imagine
a minister would be travelling with expired tyres as
many would think is the major cause of tyre bursts. A man (lived in US for many years) said that the
major cause of tyre burst in Nigeria is that we inflate
too much pressure in our tyres, he reminded us that
each car has a specific recommended tyre size and
pressure clearly written on it by the manufacturers. *I was surprised and begged him to come and show
me where it’s written on my car. To my greatest
surprise, it’s by the drivers door which I enter
everyday without noticing it.* By the time we checked, the recommended pressure
for my tyres is 32 and I just traveled with tyres on a pressure of 50. He took me round his compound and showed me that
of the cars (which includes a jeep and a sienna), and
the highest was 32. Some were even 29. READ

The deep-sea search for missing Malaysia
Airlines flight MH370 ended on Tuesday without
any trace being found of the plane that vanished
in 2014 with 239 people on board, the three
countries involved in the search said. The location of Flight MH370 has become one of
the world's greatest aviation mysteries since
the plane, a Boeing 777, disappeared en route to Beijing from the Malaysian capital of Kuala
Lumpur. "Despite every effort using the best science
available ... the search has not been able to
locate the aircraft," Malaysian, Australian and
Chinese authorities said in a statement. "The decision to suspend the underwater search
has not been taken lightly nor without sadness." The last search vessel left the area on Tuesday,
the three countries said, after scouring the
120,000-sq-km (46,000-sq-mile) area of the
Indian Ocean sea floor that has been the focus
of the almost-three-year search. Malaysia, Australia and China agreed in July to
suspend the $145 million search if the plane
was not found, or if new evidence that might
offer a clue as to its whereabouts was not
uncovered, once that area had been checked. Australia last month dismissed an investigators'
recommendation to shift the search further
north, saying that no new evidence had
emerged to support that. Since the crash
there have been
competing
theories over
whether one, both
or no pilots were in control,
whether it was
hijacked - or whether all aboard perished and the plane was
not controlled at all when it hit the water. Adding to the mystery, investigators believe
someone may have deliberately switched off
the plane's transponder before diverting it
thousands of miles out over the Indian Ocean. A next-of-kin support group called Voice 370
said in a statement investigators could not leave
the matter unsolved. "In our view, extending the search to the new
area defined by the experts is an inescapable
duty owed to the flying public in the interest of
aviation safety," Voice 370 said.

[color=#990000][/color] 1. 911 terror attacks (2001) In the worst terror attack on the US mainland in
modern history, two hijacked planes slammed into
the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New
York - where about 40,000 people worked - and a
third plane hit the Pentagon, across the Potomac
River from Washington DC. Within minutes a fourth hijacked plane crashed
130km southeast of Pittsburgh. Though its
destination is unclear, speculation centred on the
presidential retreat Camp David, 135km away in the
Maryland mountains. The attacks, by 19 Islamic terrorists linked to al- Qaeda, killed 2974 people from over 90 countries. 2. Boxing Day Tsunami (2003) It has been called the world's first global disaster,
not because of the number of dead but because the
toll touched so many countries who had citizens in
the tourist resorts and because of the time of the
disaster - Boxing Day. A huge earthquake in the Indian Ocean, west of
Sumatra, measuring between 9.1 and 9.3 on the
Richter Scale caused an enormous Tsunami, which struck the coastlines of 11 countries including
Indonesia, Thailand, India and Sri Lanka with
devastating effect. Over 150,000 people perished in one of the world's
deadliest natural disasters with the humanitarian
aid bill topping NZ$10b. 3. Bali bombings (2002) The terror attack on October 12, 2002 killed 202
people including three New Zealanders and 88
Australians, confirming terrorism's arrival on
Australasia's doorstep. The attack, a car bomb which which ripped through the popular Sari Club and nearby Paddy's Bar, was orchestrated by bombers linked to Jemaah
Islamiah, considered al Qaeda's Southeast Asian
arm. Muslim cleric Abu Bakar Bashir, widely thought to
have been one of the masterminds behind the
attack, had his conviction for conspiracy quashed in
2003. Imam Samudra, Amrozi Nurhasyim and Mukhlas
Nurhasyim were executed on November 8, 2008 for carrying out the attacks. 4. Saddam Hussein's capture (2003) The US and Britain's invasion of Iraq in 2003 was
based on the premise that Saddam Hussein
possessed "weapons of mass destruction". None
were ever found, but the Iraqi dictator was - on
December 13 2003 in the small town of Ad-Dawr
near Tikrit. Despite being armed with two guns and over US$750,000 (NZ$1.4m) in cash he didn't resist arrest. Hussein was tried before the Iraqi Interim
Government for crimes against humanity. He was executed by hanging on December 30 2006. 5. Obama's US election win (2008) On November 5 2008 Barack Obama helped
African-Americans break through the ultimate glass
ceiling with his election to the White House as the 44th President of the United States. Describing his victory as the "defining moment
change has come to America", Obama promised to
take America in a new direction, by "fixing the
economy", focusing on green job creation and
withdrawing US troops from Iraq. He was inaugurated as president on January 21 this
year. 6. Beijing Olympics (2008) China exploded into the Western public's
mainstream consciousness with the most
expensive Games in Olympic history. The opening ceremony alone was reported to have cost an estimated US$100 (NZ$150m). The event showcased China's culture and country to the outside world in a way never seen before, in
the process changing some perceptions of the
world's largest country for good. Despite concerns over China's human rights record,
the event was widely viewed as a tremendous
success and went off without disruption. A total of 43 world records were set during the two
week extravaganza. 7. London bombings (2005) The London bombings on July 7 2005 were a sobering reminder of the new terrorist threat. Four years after 911 and three years after the first
Bali bombings, multiple bomb attacks on the London underground and bus system left 52 dead, including
New Zealand woman Shelley Mather, 26, who was
on the underground train between King's Cross and
Russell Square stations when a bomb exploded. 8. Bill Clinton-Monica Lewinsky affair (1998) Former US President Bill Clinton called his
relationship with White House intern Monica Lewinsky "a terrible moral error", but later called his subsequent impeachment a "badge of honour". Clinton became just the second US president to be
impeached after lying about an affair with 22-year-
old White House intern Monica Lewinsky in 1998. Clinton had denied having "sexual relations" with
Lewinsky during his deposition for the Paula Jones
case, in which he was also accused of having an
extra-marital affair. An independent inquiry later found that deposition
to be false but Clinton was acquitted on perjury and
obstruction of justice charges, and remained
President until the end of his second term in 2001 . 9. Hurricane Katrina (2005) Hurricane Katrina became the worst natural
disaster in US history when it slammed into New
Orleans on August 29 2005. By August 31, 80 per cent of New Orleans was flooded, with some parts under 4.5m of water. Over 1.5 million people were forced from their
homes with the official death toll reaching 1464. 10. Pakistan earthquake (2005) On October 8 2005 an earthquake registering 7.7 on
the Richter Scale shook the Kashmir region of
Pakistan to its foundations. Over 17,000 of the more than 73,000 killed in the quake were children who died in schools destroyed
in the quake. About 3 million people were left
homeless by the disaster. With the quake occurring at the start of winter,
many of the homeless who were living in the open
eventually perished in the cold.

Ondo State government has given a week ultimatum to all the commercial motorcycle operators, popularly called okada riders in the state to register their motorcycles with the state Ministry of Transport or be impounded. The government said the need to register their motorcycles became imperative due to the high rate of crime and criminality in the state . Addressing a joint press conference in Akure,the state capital on Monday, the state Commissioner of Police, Mrs Hilda Harrison and the Commissioner for Information, Mr Kayode Akinmade said the state Police command has begun serious scrutiny of all commercial motorcycle operators in the state to prevent robbery and other untoward acts. They noted that many kidnappers who operate in the state often use motorcycles to carry out their dastardly acts. While noting that the police command and the state government have synergized to ensure that the state is more secured,the police boss added that they are ready to do the needful in ensuring that the state is crime-free. She stressed that any okada rider whose motorcycle is not registered will have his or her motorcycle impounded by the police and will also be prosecuted. Also, she enjoined motorcycle operators in the state to ensure that they wear their uniform while on operation to distinguish them from other operators. Akinmade while speaking said the state government has concluded arrangements with the state Police command and other security agencies in the state to ensure proper security of lives and properties of the people of the state. He lauded the Police for their efforts at minimizing crime rate in all the 18 Local Government Areas of the state.

Seizures occur when there is an intense burst of
electrical activity, which disrupts the normal working
of the brain. Epilepsy is a misunderstood condition and people
often have misconceptions about it. Here are five
things you may not know. 1. Things other than flashing lights can trigger
seizures One of the most common misconceptions is the belief
that most people with epilepsy will have a seizure as
a result of flashing lights. However, only about 4% of
people with epilepsy are photosensitive in this way.
Seizures can be triggered by things like stress, sleep deprivation, alcohol or missing meals, and, in very rare cases, by listening to certain types of music. But
for many people, there are no seizure triggers at all. Furthermore, not all seizures are convulsive. Indeed,
there are more than 40 different types of epileptic
seizure depending on the area of the brain affected. 2. Epilepsy affects more people than you
realise Epilepsy is actually quite common, affecting about
600,000 people in the UK, which works out as being
about one in every 100 people, with 87 people
diagnosed every day. Globally, about 60 million
people have the condition. Furthermore, statistics
suggest that one in 50 people will have epilepsy at some point in their life, although not everyone with
epilepsy will have it for life. 3. Anyone can get epilepsy at any time Anyone can get epilepsy and it can start at any age.
But the risk increases as you get older, with it most
common in people over 65. This is because many of
the causes of epilepsy are associated with ageing,
such as strokes or a brain tumour. Other causes include head injuries and infections like meningitis, while there is also a genetic tendency to have
epileptic seizures. There is a risk in children if the
brain is not developing properly. However, as many
as six in 10 people with epilepsy won't know the
cause of their condition. 4. There is ignorance around the effect
epilepsy can have on people's lives Beside the seizures, many people with epilepsy will
experience feelings of low self-esteem, depression
and social isolation, as a result of the condition. The
suicide rate among people with epilepsy is 22%
greater than in the general population. Being
stigmatised, issues with gaining employment and discrimination in the work place can be common for
people with epilepsy. As a result, many people are
uncomfortable talking about their condition for fear of
embarrassment or being judged. 5. People with epilepsy can still drive If you have a driving licence and have a seizure you
must stop driving and inform the DVLA. But in some
cases, people with epilepsy can be eligible to drive
again. There are types of licences that people with
epilepsy can apply for, if their seizures have been
controlled for a certain period of time and they meet other specific criteria.

Super Eagles captain, John Obi Mikel, who recently
signed a lucrative three-year deal with the
ambitious Chinese side, Tianjin Teda, appears
settling fast at his new club and he is already
proving to me a quality addition. The former Chelsea FC midfielder made his debut
for Tianjin TEDA few days ago in their first pre-
season game against Borrussia Monchengladbach,
and also started in the game against St. Pauli. The Nigeria international and his teammates were
no match for their German opponents who ran riot
scoring three goals in the opening 26 minute before
Mikel pulled a goal back for his side in the 35th
minute to bring scores to 3-1. His goal came off a header from a well delivered
free kick, which left the goalkeeper of St. Pauli
stranded in goal as the ball flew into the net. Having broken the duck this early (in his second
game) many are confident that Mikel will surpass
the goal-scoring record he had while at Chelsea. Mikel was quoted as saying by Netease Sports;
“Of course, I want to stay in a team for a long
time, I left Chelsea after eleven years, I hope to
stay in TEDA for a long time, not one or two
seasons. “If the club will not let me go, I hope to stay until
the end of my career, TEDA will be my last stop.” Rate th

Trafford with an error in his own area - although
observers felt it was one of his trademark dabs He might have received the honour of a Twitter
emoji, but it didn't take long for Paul Pogba to find
himself on the receiving end of a social media witch-
hunt. ’Davies pulls Pep’s pants down’ The Manchester United midfielder had presented his
likeness just days before the clash with Liverpool, as
Jose Mourinho's men sought to maintain their
excellent run of results at Old Trafford. But a senseless handball in his own area gave
Liverpool a golden chance from the penalty spot,
which James Milner converted with glee. And the world's most expensive player went from

A dying civil servant instructed his wife to bury him
with $55,000, which he intended to appease God to
forgive his earthly sins. The civil servant, a Ugandan was 52-year-old, when
he died. His metallic coffin cost $5,500. Identified as
Charles Obong, he was a senior personnel officer at
the Ministry of Public Service for a decade (2006 –
2016). His son-in-law confirmed that his will stated that his
wife should deposit a huge amount of money in his
coffin, which in Ugandan money was 200 million
shillings. The money was to be given to God on the Day of
Judgment as an offertory so that his sins could be
forgiven. Even though the exact sin was not stated,
he asked his brother and sister to ensure that his
wife does as he instructed. Uganda’s Daily Monitor said that Obong died on
December 17, 2016 after a protracted illness and
was buried in his ancestral home in the northern
Lira district of the country. His will was however ‘violated’ even before his
burial. Part of the money he saved for the bribery to God,
was stolen from the safe where he kept it and only
$5,700 was found in his coffin when it was
exhumed. The Monitor quoting a source close to Margaret,
Obong’s wife said the huge sum of money
disappeared from the safe. The deceased’s brother Justin Ngole said the theft
was reported to police. Meanwhile, $5,700 recovered from the coffin after
the exhumation of Obong’s body, has been
handed to the deceased’s family. Burial is a lavish ceremony in Uganda and it has an
official seal.

Ex-Miss Tourism Nigeria and Special Assistant on Tourism to the Anambra State Government, Collete Nwadike, is solidly behind her fellow beauty queen and former Miss Anambra, Chidinma Okeke, who was involved in a scandalous lesbian video recently. Speaking recently on her new series, ‘African Beauty,’ featuring Jide Kosoko and Funky Mallam, Nwadike insisted that Chidinma was never a lesbian, insisting that she was justa victim of circumstances. “Whatever that happened to her could be circumstances, but she was not drugged and it was not her organisation that set her up. Miss Anambra is an organisation I am close to. I know Chidinma well, which explains why her story affected me personally. I feel sorry for her. But being judgmental will not solve the problem.” She lamented that the ugly event was not enough for the public to label beauty queens as lesbians. “Saying that beauty queens are lesbians is a blatant lie. If you tell me beauty queens are lesbians, I would say you are the worst liar. Chindima is not a lesbian, so saying beauty queens are lesbians is not even close to the truth. There is this sisterly bond among queens. When you know the next person to you is also a queen, you like to share things with her. There is nothing more attached to it.” Nwadike opened up that she could have fallen a victim of similar situation if she had not been warned earlier. She narrated, “For every beauty queen, especially on a good platform, you are vulnerable. My organisation (Miss Tourism Nigeria) even warned me beforehand. They told me that people would approach me, that they would claim to be all kinds and they would want to lure me into things by all means. “In my second week after Miss Tourism Nigeria, I got some funny calls and messages. I remember one claiming to be Uti Nwachukwu and said he had a Samsung job for me. They sent an address and expected me to meet with them there. But I called someone who knew Uti to confirm from him and he said he knew nothing about it. There are other incidents I cannot recall now.” Copyright PUNCH. All rights reserved.

Every football fan must know of a great footballer by
name Lionel Messi. Messi has accumulated many fans
for himself as a result of his skills in football. This great
and talented footballer who stands as a role model to
many football fans and players has made his way to
the top in the field of soccer. Barcelona FC is known to be celebrated today because of this great football
titan. Messi’s abilities in the football pitch has made
people perplexed and amazed at the way he handles
and controls ball in the pitch. His soccer talent is
simply unimaginable. He is an excellent genius as far
as football is concerned. Messi’s soccer skills made me develop interest in his background and success
story. Surely, Messi had his limitations but he strived
to overcome them and today, he is the most
celebrated, highest paid and world’s best soccer
player ever known. Now, let’s take a look at the success story of
Lionel Andres Messi: Lionel Andres Messi popularly known as Messi, is a renowned and one of the greatest soccer players
of our time. He is also the highest earning footballer in
the world. He plays the forward position for FC
Barcelona and Argentina national team.
Messi was born in the year 1987, June 24 at Rosario,
central Argentina. He was born into the family of Mr. Jorge Messi and Mrs. Celia Maria Cuccittin. Messi
wasn’t born with a golden spoon in his mouth. He
was from a poor family but he was destined for
greatness. Messi’s father: Mr. Jorge Messi, was a
factory steel worker while his Mother: Mrs. Maria
Cuccittin, worked as a part time cleaner. His parents were not financially buoyant but they were excellent
at parenting. Despite their financial challenges, Mr.
Jorge Messi was determined to bring out the best in
his children. He was a man who could see his
children’s future as a shining star that will never set.
He trained his children to embrace their talents and make a living out of it. “A man’s gift maketh way
for him.” Mr. Messi continuously encouraged his
children to discover their talents at their tender age. In
the process of rendering his parental duty, he
discovered Lionel Messi’s talent in soccer and
decided to help Messi develop his talent. At a tender age of five, Messi started playing ball for Grandoli: a
local football team club coached by his father. In 1995,
Messi switched to Newell’s old boys where he
became part of a local youth powerhouse. At his
tender age, Messi was popularly known as “the
machine of 87”. At the age of 11, Messi encountered one of his
greatest life-challenges; he was diagnosed with a
growth hormone deficiency which restricted his
growth. He was the shortest player in his team-
among his age grades, but that didn’t discourage
Messi. Even in the midst of challenges, he strived to survive.
Messi’s talent in soccer was so irresistible that
football clubs started showing interest in Him.
Argentina’s River plate FC showed interest in
Messi’s talent and was willing to sign him in as their
player but the deal was fruitless because they lacked the fund to sponsor Messi’s medical bill which costs
$900 per month. Messi was rejected by this club
because of his health condition. What can be more
discouraging than this? Yet, Messi never gave up.
Messi’s optimism rewarded him at the age of 13,
when the sporting director of FC Barcelona: Carlex Rexach, was made aware of messi’s talent in
soccer. Carlex discovered that Messi was greatly
talented and decided to invest in him. He offered Messi
a contract written on a napkin paper and also, offered
to sponsor Messi’s medical bills with the condition
that Messi relocates to spain. What a great offer? “A man’s gift maketh way for him.” Messi and his
father moved to spain where Messi was enrolled into
the club’s youth Academy-known for training and
producing excellent footballers.
Messi was determined to judiciously utilize the
opportunity given to him. So, he trained vigorously well and proved himself worthy which made him
have his first appearance for Barcelona at the age of
16. In may 2005, He broke record as the youngest
player to ever score a goal.
In 2009, Messi led Barcelona to success. Barca
became the first spanish club to ever capture the “treble”- winning the copa del Ray, La liga and
champions league tournament. After scoring 49 goals
in the 2009 season, his manager said, “Messi is the
best player he had ever seen.” Messi’s skills in
soccer made a prominent footballer; Maradona say,
“I can see myself in him.” I agree with the fact that Messi is a great, successful and highly talented
footballer. Have you ever noticed the confidence in
people whenever the ball rolls into Messi’s multi-
million dollars legs? You hear things like “Messi will
score a goal now” or “A goal is on the way” or
“yes! I trust Messi.” That is to show the level of confidence Messi has made people develop in him. At
the age of 25, Messi became the youngest player to
score 200 la liga goals. Messi is widely recognized as
the best player in the world and rated as the greatest
footballer of all times. He broke record by being the
first soccer player to win four FIFA/ Ballon d’or world’s player of the year award consecutively. He
was also the first to win three European Golden shoe
awards. On 16th Feb, 2013, Messi scored his 300th
Barcelona goal. Till today, Messi remains the highest
goal scorer ever known. In the year 2011, Messi’s
net worth was estimated at $110 million by forbes. On 18th September, Messi signed a new contract with
Barca running till 2016 and with a buy out clause of
£250 million included. As at Dec. 2012, Messi’s base
salary was raised to $21.2million after an
annoncement of the 5year contract extension signed
by Messi which will keep him at FC Barcelona until 2018 with his buy out clause still at £250 million. It is
pertinent you know that Messi is not just a talented
and successful footballer but also a great
philanthropist. His love for children made him to
launch Leo Messi’s foundation in 2007. His
foundation was established to support the education and health care of vulnerable children. In 2010, Lionel
Messi was also named a goodwill ambassador for
UNICEF. There are many lessons to learn from the success
story of this great footballer. A man now celebrated
and recognized for his outstanding talent. Despite his
limitations: his financial background, his health
condition, rejection, physical limitation, and so on, he
was still determined to make great use of his inherent ability. Today, the world has overlooked its limitations
and all they can see is his success. LIONEL’S SUCCESS PRINCIPLES: 1) Self-discovery
2) Determination 3) Perseverance 4) Personal development of his talent 5) Optimism 6) Dedication and Focus 7) Self-confidence Self-belief 9) Love for humanity 10) His act of charity Dear readers, thanks for reading this inspiring article.
Lillian encourages you all to continue striving towards
success. Never give up on your journey to greatness.
Just like Messi, we are all destined for Greatness;
never settle for anything less.

The most effective way to find proof of a contradiction in a belief system is find that their most important practical demonstrations of their belief system has failed.

Christianity's most important practical demonstrations of their belief system lie in the Miracles, Prophecies etc, as commanded by their Master. If you can find proof of that anywhere, you have found proof that the ancient book containing these practical proofs are without contradictions.

If you mothers pie recipe contradicts your wife's pie recipe, what would be the result ?

Honest scientists have seen overwhelming scientifically verifiable evidence that there is a CREATOR, coming out of the Holy Scoan Church Nigeria and two excellent sources of study, Emmanuel TV and youtube.com

Scientist are known to make use of Emmanuel TV as the golden opportunity to study and examine the evidence of the abundant healing and demonic deliverance and much more.

Emmanuel TV is a golden opportunity for atheists world wide to study in private and examine the evidence. They will make progress if they put aside their rasicm. God is revealing Himself mightily through a black man. Examine the evidence not the man's color !

There can be no more tragic expression of human foolishness and perversity than the Jews ATHEISTIC rejection of The Messiah. In spite of hundreds of years of waiting and studying their scriptures concerning the coming of Jesus Christ, they dismissed him and instigated his destruction. The Jews plan failed, Jesus is risen from death. God will not be mocked ! The miraculous healing and powerful deliverance from evil spirits continue to the end.

The Bible does not contradict itself at all.
