The general overseer of the Synagogue Church of all Nations (SCOAN), Prophet T.B. Joshua, has revealed some things that will happen following the elections in Nigeria. Speaking to his congregation on Sunday, March 29, 2015, the prophet said, he is seeing the death of a prominent politician due to ‘heated up’ politics in the wake of the closely fought Nigerian elections. “I am seeing Nigerians heating up politics. “They will heat up politics and a great man among the politicians will likely lose his life… I am seeing this kind of thing happening in the night. “Wednesday and Thursday of this coming week and next week, make sure you fast and pray.” Earlier in the service, the cleric reminded congregants of a prophetic message he had shared last year concerning a ‘dark cloud’ hovering over Nigeria. He said God is beginning to remove the cloud. Explaining what the ‘cloud’ represented, Joshua stated that it meant a situation whereby two political parties would declare themselves as election winners, leading to a state of ‘lawlessness’. “Whoever wins the race, let us put Nigeria first, the nation first. “The dark cloud I saw last year was two declarations but I can see the finger of God. Thank you for your prayers.“There is a difference between your faith and politics.“Don’t play politics as if it is your faith. ‘Do or die’ is not politics. Politics is a game. When you lose, you say, ‘Thank You, Jesus’; when you win, you say, ‘Thank You, Jesus’.“Your future and the future of this nation – Jesus will ask you to give account. What we are doing now is for generations yet unborn. Don’t trade this future for money, thuggery or corruption.” T.B. Joshua also predicted that an international terrorist will be captured. “A criminal they have been looking for, for many years, who has been terrorising the world – I am seeing him being caught and displayed to the world on international media,” he announced. Before the elections, the cleric had warned Nigerians to be aware of fake political party people, saying he foresees a plane crash. Pastor T.B. Joshua is famous both in Nigeria and abroad for his religious activities. He performs miracles and conducts deliverance. The cleric also makes predictions about events that will take place on the national and international stage. |
1. Affect vs. Effect Most people confuse them when they're talking about something changing another thing. When you're talking about the change itself -- the noun -- you'll use "effect." For example: That movie had a great effect on me. When you're talking about the act of changing -- the verb -- you'll use "affect." For example: That movie affected me greatly. 2. Me vs. I Most people understand the difference between the two of these ... until they end up writing a sentence with themselves and another group. Like this sentence, for example: When you get done with that lab report, can you send it to Bill and I? Nope, that's wrong. Try taking Bill out of that sentence -- it sounds weird, right? You would never ask someone to send something to "I" when he or she is done. The reason it sounds weird is because "I" is the object of that sentence -- and "I" should not be used in objects. In that situation, you'd use "me." See what I mean? When you get done with that lab report, can you send it to Bill and me? Much better. 3. i.e. vs. e.g. Confession: I never remember this rule, so I have to Google it every single time I want to use it in my writing. I'm hoping by writing about it that the trend will stop. Lots of people use the terms interchangeably when trying to elaborate on a point, but they really mean two different things. "i.e." roughly means "that is" or "in other words" while "e.g." means "example given" or "for example." See the difference? One's used to clarify something you've said, while the other adds color to a story through an example. 4.Who vs. That This is a tricky one. These two words can be used when you're describing someone or something through a phrase like "Ginny is a blogger who likes ice cream." When you're describing a person, be sure to use "who." When you're describing an object, use "that." For example, you should say "My computer is the one that overheats all the time." It's pretty simple, but definitely something that gets overlooked frequently. 5. Alot vs. A lot vs. Allot Hate to break it to all of you "alot" fans out there ... but "alot" is not a word. If you're trying to say that someone has a vast number of things, you'd say they have a lot of things. And if you're trying to say that you've set aside a certain amount of money to buy something, you'd say you alloted $20 to spend on gas. |
1. The whitest man on earth still have a black shadow. 2. No matter how tall you are, you can never see tomorrow. 3. No mechanic can repair a breaking news. 4.

The smartest assassin on earth can never kill water. 8. No matter how smart a police is, he can never catch the air. 9. No matter how mighty a man is, he can never be as wise as king solomon. 10. Going to church or mosquein everyday doesn't make u a good christian or muslim. 11. No matter how powerful and dreadful 2015 general election, YOUR BLOOD and your family's blood shall NOT used FOR SACRIFICE Amen.. |
GOOD MORNING, I HOPE I'M NOT BOTHERING YOU WITH THIS READ: A mouse looked through the crack in the wall to see the farmer and his wife open a package. What food might this contain?" The mouse wondered - he was devastated to discover it was a mousetrap. Retreating to the farmyard, the mouse proclaimed the warning: There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!" The chicken clucked and scratched, raised her head and said, "Mr.Mouse, I can tell this is a grave concern to you, but it is of no consequence to me. I cannot be bothered by it." The mouse turned to the pig and told him, "There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!" The pig sympathized, but said, I am so very sorry, Mr.Mouse, but there is nothing I can do about it but pray. Be assured you are in my prayers." The mouse turned to the cow and said "There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!" The cow said, "Wow, Mr. Mouse. I'm sorry for you, but it's no skin off my nose." So, the mouse returned to the house, head down and dejected, to face the farmer's mousetrap alone. That very night a sound was heard throughout the house -- like the sound of a mousetrap catching its prey. The farmer's wife rushed to see what was caught. In the darkness, she did not see it was a venomous snake whose tail the trap had caught. The snake bit the farmer's wife. The farmer rushed her to the hospital , and she returned home with a fever. Everyone knows you treat a fever with fresh chicken soup, so the farmer took his hatchet to the farmyard for the soup's main Ingredient. But his wife's sickness continued, so friends and neighbours came to sit with her around the clock. To feed them, the farmer butchered the pig. The farmer's wife did not get well; she died. So many people came for her funeral, the farmer had the cow slaughtered to provide enough meat for all of them. The mouse looked upon it all from his crack in the wall with great sadness. So, the next time you hear someone is facing a problem and think it doesn't concern you, remember -- when one of us is threatened, we are all at risk. We are all involved in this journey called life. We must keep an eye out for one another and make an extra effort to encourage one another. REMEMBER,,,, EACH OF US IS A VITAL THREAD IN ANOTHER PERSON'S TAPESTRY; OUR LIVES ARE WOVEN TOGETHER FOR A REASON. |
Bet You Didn't Know: Valentine's Day How did St. Valentine become associated with love and romance? Get the full story behind the holiday. INTRODUCTION Every February 14, across the United States and in other places around the world, candy, flowers and gifts are exchanged between loved ones, all in the name of St. Valentine. But who is this mysterious saint, and where did these traditions come from? Find out about the history of this centuries-old holiday, from ancient Roman rituals to the customs of Victorian England. THE LEGEND OF ST. VALENTINE The history of Valentine’s Day–and the story of its patron saint–is shrouded in mystery. We do know that February has long been celebrated as a month of romance, and that St. Valentine’s Day, as we know it today, contains vestiges of both Christian and ancient Roman tradition. But who was Saint Valentine, and how did he become associated with this ancient rite? Did You Know? Approximately 150 million Valentine's Day cards are exchanged annually, making Valentine's Day the second most popular card-sending holiday after Christmas. The Catholic Church recognizes at least three different saints named Valentine or Valentinus, all of whom were martyred. One legend contends that Valentine was a priest who served during the third century in Rome. When Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives and families, he outlawed marriage for young men. Valentine, realizing the injustice of the decree, defied Claudius and continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret. When Valentine’s actions were discovered, Claudius ordered that he be put to death. Other stories suggest that Valentine may have been killed for attempting to help Christians escape harsh Roman prisons, where they were often beaten and tortured. According to one legend, an imprisoned Valentine actually sent the first “valentine” greeting himself after he fell in love with a young girl– possibly his jailor’s daughter–who visited him during his confinement. Before his death, it is alleged that he wrote her a letter signed “From your Valentine,” an expression that is still in use today. Although the truth behind the Valentine legends is murky, the stories all emphasize his appeal as a sympathetic, heroic and–most importantly–romantic figure. By the Middle Ages , perhaps thanks to this reputation, Valentine would become one of the most popular saints in England and France. ORIGINS OF VALENTINE’S DAY: A PAGAN FESTIVAL IN FEBRUARY While some believe that Valentine’s Day is celebrated in the middle of February to commemorate the anniversary of Valentine’s death or burial–which probably occurred around A.D. 270– others claim that the Christian church may have decided to place St. Valentine’s feast day in the middle of February in an effort to “Christianize” the pagan celebration of Lupercalia. Celebrated at the ides of February, or February 15, Lupercalia was a fertility festival dedicated to Faunus, the Roman god of agriculture, as well as to the Roman founders Romulus and Remus. To begin the festival, members of the Luperci, an order of Roman priests, would gather at a sacred cave where the infants Romulus and Remus, the founders of Rome, were believed to have been cared for by a she-wolf or lupa. The priests would sacrifice a goat, for fertility, and a dog, for purification. They would then strip the goat’s hide into strips, dip them into the sacrificial blood and take to the streets, gently slapping both women and crop fields with the goat hide. Far from being fearful, Roman women welcomed the touch of the hides because it was believed to make them more fertile in the coming year. Later in the day, according to legend, all the young women in the city would place their names in a big urn. The city’s bachelors would each choose a name and become paired for the year with his chosen woman. These matches often ended in marriage. VALENTINE’S DAY: A DAY OF ROMANCE Lupercalia survived the initial rise of Christianity and but was outlawed—as it was deemed “un-Christian”–at the end of the 5th century, when Pope Gelasius declared February 14 St. Valentine’s Day. It was not until much later, however, that the day became definitively associated with love. During the Middle Ages, it was commonly believed in France and England that February 14 was the beginning of birds’ mating season, which added to the idea that the middle of Valentine’s Day should be a day for romance. Valentine greetings were popular as far back as the Middle Ages, though written Valentine’s didn’t begin to appear until after 1400. The oldest known valentine still in existence today was a poem written in 1415 by Charles, Duke of Orleans, to his wife while he was imprisoned in the Tower of London following his capture at the Battle of Agincourt . (The greeting is now part of the manuscript collection of the British Library in London, England.) Several years later, it is believed that King Henry V hired a writer named John Lydgate to compose a valentine note to Catherine of Valois. TYPICAL VALENTINE’S DAY GREETINGS In addition to the United States, Valentine’s Day is celebrated in Canada, Mexico , the United Kingdom, France and Australia. In Great Britain, Valentine’s Day began to be popularly celebrated around the 17th century. By the middle of the 18th, it was common for friends and lovers of all social classes to exchange small tokens of affection or handwritten notes, and by 1900 printed cards began to replace written letters due to improvements in printing technology. Ready-made cards were an easy way for people to express their emotions in a time when direct expression of one’s feelings was discouraged. Cheaper postage rates also contributed to an increase in the popularity of sending Valentine’s Day greetings. Americans probably began exchanging hand-made valentines in the early 1700s. In the 1840s, Esther A. Howland began selling the first mass-produced valentines in America. Howland, known as the “Mother of the Valentine,” made elaborate creations with real lace, ribbons and colorful pictures known as “scrap.” Today, according to the Greeting Card Association, an estimated 1 billion Valentine’s Day cards are sent each year, making Valentine’s Day the second largest card-sending holiday of the year. (An estimated 2.6 billion cards are sent for Christmas .) Women purchase approximately 85 percent of all valentines. source: www.history.com/topics/valentines-day/history-of-valentines-day |
A powerful blast suspected to be from an Improvised Explosive Device, IED, has rocked a political meeting in Potiskum Town of Yobe state. The explosion occurred in front of the residence of a local PDP politician, Sabo Garbu, in Kandahar area of the town. A resident of Potiskum, Adamu Mohammed, informed PREMIUM TIMES that Mr. Garbu, a former member of the House of Representatives, was holding a meeting with his associates when the bomb blast occurred. “The house was full with PDP members holding meeting there. It just happened and it’s not far away from our house,” he said. Mr. Mohammed said those who survived the blast ran away from the area in fear of second blast, and so it’s difficult to know the extent of damage or casualty. Mr. Mohammed also said another suspected IED was sighted in the GSM market in Potiskum. “Police bomb squad are already in the market trying to defuse the bomb found there when the blast in our area occurred,” Mr. Mohammed said. |

The DG of the National Orientation Agency & Coordinator of the National Information Center, Mike Omeri says intelligence reports gathered by Nigeria's security agencies show that Boko Haram members are planning to use bomb-ladened cows, goats and chicken to attack Nigerians at political campaign grounds, market places, and ATM locations. Omeiri said this while speaking to newsmen on Tuesday January 27th in Abuja "Available intelligence reports indicate a plan by Boko Haram to use young male suicide bombers disguised as cobblers (shoemakers) to hide explosives in their tool boxes and detonate them in soft target areas such as markets, restaurants, ATM locations, political rallies, worship centres, as well as other public places. Also there is indication of a plan by this group to use livestock (such as goats, cows, donkeys and camels) laden with explosives to attack chosen targets. In view of these, the general public, including all persons operating within and around the aforementioned places, is advised to be vigilant and mindful of suspicious activities within their environment.” he said He advised everyone to be watchful during this period and report any suspicious movement to the police. source: http://m.dailytimes.com.ng/article/boko-haram-plans-bomb-markets-political-rallies-others#.VMsrBOtwZoM lindaikeji..de/2015/01/boko-haram-plans-to-bomb-political.html?m=1 |

1. Never share your secrets with everyone; This can be Self- Destructiv e, Perhaps the most Important Advice in Life. 2. Never Tell your Problems to everyone; 20% will not Care and 80% will be Glad that you have them. 3. Life is similar to Boxing Game. Defeat is not Declared when you Fall Down; It is Declared when you Refuse to Get Up. 4. WRONG PERSONS teach the RIGHT LESSONS in Life; That is called LIFE EXPERIENCE. 5. Faith is taking the first Step, even when you don't see the whole Staircase. 6. Keep your Face to the Sun, and you will not see the Shadow. 7. Everything is Valuable only at two Times in life: (1) Before Getting It. (2) After Losing It. 8. Two Things brings Happiness and Success in Life: (1) The way you Manage when you have Nothing. (2) The way you Behave when you have Everything. 9. Two Places are most Valuable in the World: (1) The NICEST Place (2) The SAFEST Place The NICEST place is to be in someone's thoughts, and the SAFEST place is to be in someone's prayers. 10. 'FEAR' has two Meanings: (1) Forget Everything and Run. (2) Face Everything and Rejoice. 11. Never forget these three types of people in life: (1) Those who HELPED you in difficult time. (2) Those who PUT you in difficult time. (3) Those who ABANDONED you in difficult time. And Lastly... Life is all about CROSS-ROADS; the SPECTRE of grief and the SCEPTRE of glory lies in the decision you make today. |

A capacitor is an electronic component that takes advantage of the ability of electric fields to reach out across an insulator. It consists of two flat plates made from a conducting material such as silver or aluminum, separated by a thin insulating material such as Mylar or ceramic. The two conducting plates are connected to terminals so that a voltage can be applied across the plates. Note that because the two plates are separated by an insulator, a closed circuit isn't formed. Nevertheless, current flows — for a moment, anyway. How can this be? When the voltage from a source such as a battery is connected, the negative side of the battery voltage immediately begins to push negative charges toward one of the plates. Simultaneously, the positive side of the battery voltage begins to pull electrons (negative charges) away from the second plate. What permits current to flow is the electric field that quickly builds up between the two plates. As the plate on the negative side of the circuit fills with electrons, the electric field created by those electrons begins to push electrons away from the plate on the other side of the insulator, toward the positive side of the battery voltage. As this current flows, the negative plate of the capacitor builds up an excess of electrons, whereas the positive side develops a corresponding deficiency of electrons. Thus, voltage is developed between the two plates of the capacitor. But there's a catch: This current flows only for a brief time. As the electrons build up on the negative plate and are depleted from the positive plate, the voltage between the two plates increases because the difference in charge between the two plates increases. The voltage continues to increase until the capacitor voltage equals the battery voltage. Once the voltages are the same, current stops flowing through the circuit, and the capacitor is said to be charged. At this point the magic gets even better. Once a capacitor has been charged, you can disconnect the battery from the capacitor, and the voltage will remain in the capacitor. In other words, although the voltage in the capacitor is created by the battery, this voltage isn't dependent on the battery for its continued existence. Disconnect the battery, and the voltage remains across the two plates of the capacitor. Thus, capacitors have the ability to store charge — an ability known as capacitance. |
This is really bad. Is it that these guys have no idea of the fact that this could lead to alot of bloodshed especially when read by Nigerian thugs who are eager to kill and destroy? GEJ you signed a peace agreement, you better pay proper attention to your party folks. Although there have been some careless talks by people like Fashola and the likes. it's funny how people react when it has to do with PDP. STOP playing politics with our lives. You do careless things, send your children abroad, and expose the average Nigerian to danger. May God help Nigeria. |
