juliesanto: Please remember . . .

The Kingdom of Heaven is available to every man, woman, boy, and girl in this world, no matter who they are, where they live, or what they have done. It is freely offered to any and all who will receive it. Simply learn of Jesus (Yeshua), the promised Messiah, invite Him into your life as Lord, believe He died on the Cross for all of your sins and rose from the grave (proving there is a Kingdom of Heaven ... and a Hell). Learn of Him and believe in Him . . . for He was the only one who has ever loved you enough to substitute Himself for you on the Cross. He shed His blood, suffered, and died on the Cross to save you from your sins and from the utter darkness and torment of Hell, if you will accept it, believe it, and trust in it. That is why Jesus is called Savior. He now lovingly and graciously offers you life in Heaven (and we are warned it is a "take it or leave it" proposition.) We have to consciously receive it and accept it in faith. If you sincerely admit you have sinned (which means you will need a Savior to get into Heaven) and ask Jesus to come into your life and honestly try to stop doing (and saying) those things God says are wrong, you will go to Heaven ... and with open arms and tears of joy He will receive all who will come to Him in faith and in love ... It's God's Promise!!!

The only unpardonable sin is to reject God's love and His free offer of life in the Kingdom of Heaven by rejecting Jesus Christ (Yeshua Ha'Mashiach in Hebrew) who stepped forth from Eternity ("from of old, from everlasting"... see Micah 5:2) ... not to condemn the sinner, but to save the sinner (from the torment of Hell) and who willingly and lovingly shed His blood on the Cross so we can be washed clean of all our sins. The Bible warns there will be no peace in our lives until we make peace with God through His Son, Jesus (Yeshua), the promised Messiah. The Bible also says there will be no peace in Israel or on Earth until Jesus (Yeshua), the Messiah returns . . .
Madam looter give your life to christ.

The Europeans and the Arabs came to Africa with a political ideology in the name of religion. How can we honor any god who was used against us? The only people who accept alien gods are defeated people; all others honor and accept their own name for the Almighty. We must learn to appreciate ourselves and our traditions.

Census in Nigeria to a large extent dictates who really holds power. Census results are as sensitive as election results in Nigeria and with success recorded in the April 2011 polls as a result of computerization; the quest for computerized and credible systems in Nigeria has been intense.
Since Independence, Nigeria has conducted population censuses. Such censuses have been marred by controversies like inaccuracies, data manipulation and inflation of results. As sophisticated technology continues to impact on organizations and countries, a growing need for efficient, flexible and cost effective census system becomes paramount. The final solution thus lies in employing the services of a computerized census system in Nigeria.

[size=17pt]Foluke Daramola Supports Fashola On Okada Ban[/size]

October 29, 2012

Following the controversy generated by the new traffic laws introduced by the Lagos State government, Nollywood actress, Foluke Daramola has added her voice in support of the government’s decision.

In a press release issued on Monday, October 22, 2012, by Change Agents of Nigeria Network, a non-governmental group, she said the criticism that followed the ban is from individuals who she describes as selfish, inhuman and uninterested in the safety of Lagosians. According to Daramola, who is the group’s spokesperson, the new traffic law is a welcome development towards restructuring the transport system and must be given utmost support. An excerpt of the statement says ‘Those who are criticizing the LASG the implementing the new traffic laws should ask themselves why is it that it is only the okada riders and their dangerous, criminal and frustrating menace that are refusing to be regulated when the law is for all traffic operations in the state? Why is it that it is only the Okada riders that want to continue to flout the laws in the state, all in the name of survival, poverty and unemployment?‘ She said all Lagosians ‘must realise that the first responsibility of any responsible and ideal government is to provide security and safety for all its citizens. Few people, all because they want to survive, cannot continue to impose a jungle and frustrating life on all of us. Any government that fails to secure her people will always be a definition of failure.’ Daramola is the publicity secretary of Change Agents of Nigeria Network, founded by activist, Kayode Salako. Foluke made her first movie appearance in Fidelis Duker’s ‘Blood Brothers’ and has since featured in numerous movies.

Here is an extract of the release issued by the group:

‘BRF’s government is very right! Any okada man that wants to continue to frustrate and kill Lagosians is evil and deserves to lose his own economic life too. It is constantly in the bible that ‘And ye shall obey the LAW and that LAW shall set you free!’ Any okada man that wants to continue to break the Lagos traffic law must GO away from Lagos or find something else to do… It is very unfair that the Lagos State government, like some states in Nigeria, cannot ban okada and yet, cannot REGULATE or RESTRICT their operations. We are the ones asking for an ideal, safe, sanitised and peaceful Lagos. Some of us are still the ones encouraging Okada and Danfo menace to continue to frustrate and destroy our socio-economic life everyday in Lagos. This is an aberration!…The disadvantages of Okada menace is far more apparent and weightier than its much acclaimed advantages!…The LASG is very right! Let the implementation of the traffic laws continue!

[size=17pt]End of the Road for 'Killer Okada'[/size]

28 OCTOBER 2012

Amid the stand-off between commercial motorcyclists and the authorities in Lagos over the ban of Okada, mind-boggling figures show high Okada fatality rate in the state.

Commercial motorcycle,popularly called Okada, came into being in Lagos State to mitigate the transportation challenges due to the chaotic traffic situation in the state. The state, classified to be a megacity, according to United Nations, UN, has a population of over 18 million people.

But the other side to the mitigation of the transportation challenges in the state is that Okada has brought in its wake high incidences of fatal accidents on the roads and cases of armed robberies.

A visit to orthopaedic hospitals in the state would confirm the commercial motorcyclist fatality as those who have lost limbs and arms litter the facilities while many children have become orphans by the recklessness of Okada riders.

No less than 619 people were among victims either killed or seriously injured in commercial motorcycle accidents across Lagos in the last two years, a record by the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) showed.

The records from the Planning and Research Department of LASTMA also revealed that out of the number, 107 people died while 512 sustained serious injuries as a result of the accidents showing further that of those who died in the two years, 71 were male while 36 were female.

Details of the accidents between January 2011 and October 2012 further revealed that a total of 442 commercial Okada were involved across the state during the period out of which 271 occurred in 2011 while 171 occurred this year.

Also, according to the records, in 2011 alone, 47 were killed and 98 others sustained serious injuries while from January 2012 to date 63 people have been killed while 59 others sustained serious injuries.

Police records also revealed that a total of 513 fatal accidents recorded in the state in the last two years were caused by Okada. According to the records, out of this number, 305 happened between January and December 2011 while 208 happened between January and June this year.

The records also revealed that of the 30 armed robbery incidents recorded in Lagos between July and September this year, 22 involved commercial motorcycles. Details, according to the records, show that of eight robberies that occurred in July, seven involved the use of Okada while Okada was also used in 10 out of 14 robberies in September and five out of eight robberies in August.

Governor Babatunde Fashola, on August 2, 2012 ,assented his signature to the Lagos Road Traffic Law partly to contain the Okada riders recklessness by stopping them from plying 475 roads comprising of major highways and bridges in Lagos.

'I AM RUINED'

The ban marked the beginning of a rough time between the state government and the Okada riders who argued that the government move was to deprive them of their means of livelihood. Truly, the state government had resorted to the seizure of erring Okada and burning them. No fewer than 300 of the confiscated Okada were said to have been burnt by the state government. On Monday,the Okada riders took to the streets to protest the action in the course of which they destroyed at least 10 Bus Rapid Transit, BRT, buses along Ikorodu Road..

The protesters later converged on Mushin area where they engaged law enforcement agencies in another violent confrontation.

One of the Okada protesters, who spoke to SundayVanguard without revealing his identity, said they resorted to attacking BRT buses because because they were owned by government which had forced them out of business..

He lamented that his bike had been seized twice by overzealous officials over flimsy traffic violation.

According to him, he had been in Okada business for over five years in Lagos during which he had been using the proceeds to maintain his two wives and children. "With this ban now, my life is hopeless. I don't have any money to start a new business. I am ruined."

Alarmed by the violence by the Okada riders, members of the Lagos State House of Assembly are contemplating outrightly banning Okada in the state.

Speaker of the House, Adeyemi Ikuforiji, while condemning vandalisation of government property by the Okada riders, frowned at the action, calling on the state government to further strengthen security agencies to protect lives and property.

Ikuforiji warned that the House would not hesitate to ban Okada out rightly if the riders continued to destroy government property and constituted nuisance in the state.

Hon. Bisi Yusuf, a member of the parliament, noted that Okada had been banned in Yola, Yobe, Kano, Abuja, Rivers and some parts of the Osun, saying Lagos would not be an exemption.

'NO GOING BACK ON ENFORCEMENT'

Meanwhile,Fashola says the ban on Okada on the listed roads in the state has come to stay. The governor, speaking as a guest of the Metropolitan Club, Victoria Island,Lagos at a special session on law and order in the state, entitled, "Freedom from Fear", noted that a lot depended on the citizenry in ensuring an orderly society.

He said everyone must build a consensus that the idea behind the new traffic law is one that involves the quality of life of everyone, the protection of the assets of every resident of Lagos and his business.

Tracing the various well organized public transport systems that had existed in the past like the L.M.T.S and L.S.T.C, he said it should agitate the minds of citizens and members of the Club how the state arrived at its present state in terms of the unbridled operation of commercial motorcyclists.

According to Fashola, in less than two decades, Okada has gained so much prominence that it has become a phenomenon which should not have been allowed in the first place, stressing that the elites also contributed as many encouraged their staff and employees to start taking Okada to run errands quickly.

"The only way to stop the business from flourishing is by not patronizing them. It is a business that if the income from it dwindles, the business proposition of those in it will change",the governor stated.

"As a governor, I always take it upon myself to fight against any attempt by Very Important Personalities to close roads and the people must be ready to fight against behaviours and conducts that are hazardous to healthy and secure existence.

"This is a law made by the State House of Assembly,a law that I swore on oath to defend and that is my duty. I make no apologies for doing it and I will continue to do it. If we continue like this, we are on the road to Bangkok in Thailand".

Fashola said there should be concerted efforts by everyone to ensure that Nigeria does not reach the notorious status of Bangkok in terms of traffic because Bangkok is a city that loses about one million dollars every year to traffic congestion and where the training of the average traffic police officer includes the delivery of babies from pregnant women who are trapped in traffic.

Urging business executives and corporate leaders to rethink the types of ventures being supported, the governor said the tricycles known as Keke Marwa represents the sign of India's age of poverty which the country is striving hard to move away from as it is now busy manufacturing TATA buses and wondered why that is what Nigerians are now embracing wholeheartedly.

He added that the same applies to motorcycles which originated from China, saying currently the Chinese are making fast trains for their usage while Nigerians are helping their economy by patronizing their Okada.

Noting that those who break the law with impunity are,often more than not, aliens with no respect for rules and regulation, Fashola revealed that within 24 hours,over 100

people from Niger Republic had been escorted out of Lagos, stressing that there was no going back on the enforcement of the State Traffic Law.

According to him,the presence or absence of law and order in any society is what determines whether the people will live in fear or without it.

He stated that traffic should not be viewed as a problem but rather a sign of of prosperity in any emerging megacity like Lagos because as more people move into the city there would be congestion.

The governor, however, explained that the traffic being complained about is the rush hour traffic which is not peculiar to Lagos, adding that in the United States of America, it is better to walk in Manhattan than to drive a car, admonishing that Nigerians should stop feeling sorry for themselves whenever they are in traffic.

Giving an insight into some of the proactive steps being taken to manage traffic, Fashola said the state government had gone a step further by introducing the traffic radio to give advance information to members of the public on how they can plan their trips adequately.

He explained that the new road traffic law has made provision against drinking or eating behind the wheels because government believes that only split seconds stand between fatal accidents and surviving as any momentary loss of concentration could have catastrophic consequences.

On the suggestion that the Highway Code should be a subject of study in schools for children to learn at the formative stage, the governor said government was already working on how to develop a basic curriculum that would be developed from a book on same subject without encroaching on the basic school curriculum.

Sunday Vanguard gathered last week that since the aggressive enforcement of the road traffic law commenced after about three months sensitization and public enlightenment, many displaced Okada riders who are still lucky to have their motorcycles are relocating to neighbouring states of Ogun, Oyo, Osun to continue their okada business.

It was also learnt that there were about a million Okada riders, registered and unregistered, in Lagos though there are only two recognised associations, one of which is Motorcycles Association of Lagos State, MOALS.

Excellent video with interesting facts. This great man was a genius, by 1919, Marcus Garvey and UNIA had launched the Black Star Line, a shipping company that would establish trade and commerce between Africans in America, the Caribbean, South and Central America, Canada, and Africa.

Tribalism on Nairaland do not comme all the time from Nigerians or Africans. Many Europeans are in disguise on Nairaland and post tribalistic messages to divide Nigerians. They try to make you believe that they are Africans or Nigerians. There are many agendas behind what you read. Know that it is actually an understanding of positive and negative that will truly tell you what is in the best interests for Nigerians. A righteous Nigerian may disagree with aspects of the message but they would not openly try and deter others from receiving it.

MacDaddy01: Question is why all religions resemble the people from which it originates? Is it that man created God?

Accepting an imported Alien Religion has killed our peoples minds!. The Black/African does not know the consequences of accepting AN ALIEN RELIGION. If a Black/African accepts Judaism and Christianity as his religion, he has accepted the Caucasian as his visible God. The same with Islam, if a Black/African person accepts Al Islam and its many branches as there religion, then it accepts the Desert Arab as his God. That person cannot have power over, or be equal to the Caucasian, or Arab because here, the Caucasian and the Arab has been accepted as the superior power, and this is why trying to obtain liberty and equality in Caucasian or Arab religion or any alien religion is a CRUEL HOAX! If you look at all of the so called Holy Books that our people are into, they all portray the image of someone other than self. There is not a face of Black/African people of any of these imported religions.

No, they arrested only one of them, the other who was carrying the explosive to the targeted churches escaped.

Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares (by surprise). – Hebrews 13:2

It literally says you may entertain an angel and not know it which implies that an angel can sit in front of you and you won’t even know.
If angels are beings with wings and halos over their heads like religions portray them to be, then you should recognize an angel immediately. But, if an angel is a being that comes in the form of a human, then it is possible that you may not know that I am sitting with an angel. Again, these are all things within your scriptures that they try to hide and mistranslate so that you will not know what it really says.
