Here are 10 signs that prove
you are proudly born and
raised in Jos, Nigeria.
The city of Jos, Nigeria, though small
and often forgotten, is one of the most
diversely populated cities in the country.
The residents of Jos range from the
indigenous tribes of Plateau State in
north central Nigeria to tribes from
many eastern, western and southern
states in Nigeria. Regardless of this
great diversity in the cultural heritage of
the residents, there are certain
characteristics that one will find
common in anyone who was born and
raised in Jos. Listed below are ten
signs that will prove accurate in
identifying a person who is from Jos.

1. People get confused during
a fast-paced conversation in
English with you because most
of what you are saying starts
with "Kai..." and ends with
"Toh...
You are set by default to begin and end
your statements with “Kai..” and
“Toh…” respectively. And it has never
occurred to you that these two words
are not even English words. Clearly this
is a normal way of speaking for you.

2. Even though you do not
understand or speak Hausa
language, you know that “An
fara!” (translated in English to
mean “It has begun!”) means
you need to start running in
whatever direction everyone
else is running.
By instinct, as soon as you hear, “An
fara! An fara!,” you run away. You do
not need to know why you are running.
You just run.

3. You roll your eyes in
frustration every time that
people from the western,
southern and eastern parts of
Nigeria refer to the indigenes
of Plateau State as "Hausa
people."
First, you laugh. And then you start a
lecture on The Various Indigenous
Tribes Existing Within Plateau State.

4. Market and terminus are
synonymous to you.
You understand that when someone
says, “I’m going to Terminus,” they
mean they’re going to the terminus
market, aka the main market.

5. You became friends with the
soldiers near your house or
school.
You figured it was probably a good idea
to be friendly with soldiers who would
be around for a long time and were
already frustrated from living such
difficult uncertain lives.

6. Ice blocks falling as rain is
perfectly normal to you.
You can still feel the blocks of ices
hitting against your head as you run for
cover. You still enjoy the look of
surprise on people’s faces when you tell
them, “We don’t have snow, but it rains
blocks of ice.”

7. During every major holiday
celebration, you wanted to go
to one of four places — Jos
Wild Life Park, Old Zoo,
Rayfield Resort and Solomon
Lar Amusement Park.
It was a cool thing to visit one or more
of these venues during holiday
celebrations including Eid celebrations,
Christmas, New Year celebrations and
Easter.

8. You still call every fast food
restaurant Mr Biggs.
Mr Biggs was once the most special
place anyone could take you.

9. NASCO biscuits played an
important part in your
childhood.
Through all the birthday parties, end of
school year class parties and other
childhood celebrations, NASCO biscuits
never failed to be present among your
goodies.

10. Despite all the negative
publicity, Jos is getting from
the media today, you still
remain a proud Josite.
You’re quick to defend the city you’ve
grown to truly love and appreciate,
especially when people judge it based
only on all of the recent chaos.

I read the article,and it presented only one view of the "two witnesses".
I have addressed that view in my second post to you above.

EVarn:
There is another angle to the matter of the two witnesses of the end of days.
In Romans 11:24-25,apostle paul refers to israel as the tame [s]olive tree[/] and the gentiles as wild olive tree,correspondingly,Revelation 11:4 says that the witnesses are the two olive trees and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.
Recall that Revelations 1:12 and Revelation 1:20 referred to the seven churches in Asia as "seven golden candlesticks".
Therefore it can be argued that the two witnesses are not human prophets,but actually: the jewish church(Israel: judaism) and the gentile church(Christian church of all nations).

EVarn:
In the end of days(70th week of daniel),4 witnesses will rise up; 2 of them will be witnesses for satan,i'm referring to both the Anti-christ and False prophet,while the other 2 will be the two witnesses of God: with the spirit and power of Elijah and Enoch to prophesy for 1260 days.Some enthusiasts argue that Moses will be one of the witnesses of the end time,citing Revelation 11:6 where it is written that the witnesses will have power to cause draught,turn water to blood and cause all manner of plague; these are deeds that were performed by Moses.However,there are only two prophets who didnt witness death; Elijah and Enoch.God caught them up to heaven,Rev 11:4 says that the witnesses are the "two olive trees" and "two candlesticks" that are [s]"standing before the God of the earth"[/s]: this means that the two witnesses are currently standing in the presence of God until the are sent to the earth to prophesy,die and rapture into heaven.

That number 9 got me nervous cos yes! I copy note for this male friend of mine, and no strings attached. but he feels I'm doing it for love, God help me if he sees this thread, that way it will only confirm his notion, which is actually wrong. @ op don't start giving guys wrong signals girls are quite funny, doing this may not mean love for some of us

EVarn:
lol,i'm not a baby,so do away with this "son" talk.
As for your biblical reference,you dont have to be disappointed; I had to aggressively cajole you in order to pry away the bible passage from you.Now that you have produced the necessary clarification,you have gained credibility in my opinion.

Oyind17:
yes

EVarn:
Of course I do,that quote doesnt sound like anything from the bible.You need to conclusively clarify your points by adding biblical references that can be properly investigated to satisfaction.
Like I once said: I have a discerning spirit.

EVarn:
My friend,the truth about the two witnesses differs from what was enacted in sleepy hollow.

osedvgirl:
think jor, nope

Oyind17:
what is happening beloved? pls on your phone

EVarn:
I implore you to publish the chapter and verse where you quoted from.
lol,are you immortal?,if you are,then i am.
I know that you do not attend church or fellowship(I confess to be also guilty of this habit),neither do you research the scriptures frequently.How then can you claim to have received the gospel of mysteries?.
Anyway,God annoints men to speak as oracles and it is through his spirit that we are given the keys to mysteries of the kingdom of God.
There are 3 heavens and 3 earths: and there are 3 forms of man.*grins*
