enshy: If OP is a fraud, he is not one of us. Everyone claims he is of God but 'by their fruits we know them' By his fruits, he isnt one of us..Xtians are not beggars for 'our sufficiency is of God'... A Xtian is one that has repented, confessed his sins and accepted Jesus as Lord and Personal Saviour and for his needs he believes 'God is a rewarder of them that deligently seek him' Once again OP isnt one of us! We are the sheep of his pasture!! He feeds us!!! As a family, we feed ourselves too as he provides for the more abundant!
Why don't you caution him then. You know people are naturally compationate, they will help a fellow human in most cases. No Christian should beg since your god provides everything. He is not one of you? Who does he belong to, the devil?
I have sent money to you twice I think, but you are a fraud. You should prays to your god,why bother humans. After all he never fails. What you are doing is not right, very dishonest. You keep using different accounts, why?
It's with Great Pleasure and a sense of Responsibility I share this few lines with you.
I'd like you to reconsider your decision to rule out the existence of God, following these reasons:
1. What if there is a God? There's sufficient evidence of His existence already. The Law of Cause and Effect, the Law of Teleology, the 1st Law of Thermodynamics The Concept of Miracle etc.
2. What if there is Heaven and Hell and you died without doing the Needful simply because you disbelieve that God exists? That would be a Loss you can NEVER recover from. If you've got Questions to ask, and Answers to find; you must do it now! Save Yourself! There is NO repentance in the Grave.
Divorce is only a proof that marriage doesn't work. The coming together of two to form a union is common and when they disagree or see life in different ways they separate. There is nothing wrong going different ways. A sensible god will understand that I suppose.
What is the point of praying and to whom are you praying to? A god that doesn't understand that people sometimes need to move on with their lives?
JideAmuGiaka: Of all the gifts, it is this useless Oduduwa head you gave the man, is the U.S ambassador a babalawo.
That stuff is worth millions fool. You want to know how much I paid to get an ife head? Ife head is in the British museum and is worth at least £3,500.
Are you in bed now hoping to wake up and go to church in the morning?
Are you there wondering how it is possible that all the bible characters are white with no black characters even when it is obvious the black race were the first on the planet?
Have you been questioning the bible lately and want a way out? Are you finding it hard to believe in a talking donkey or snake? Then this video is for you
JideAmuGiaka: Thank God you said 10% of my hard earned money. May God continue blessing me with #1mil every month for me to be paying my 10% to my church. If you are not happy, give me the #1mil and I will not pay anything to my church.
Should a Christian( enslaved) woman put on trousers? Well since she is a slave to the principles of the bible and sees Jesus or the white man as her master, then she mush adhere to the rules and regulation binding her to the religion. So yes it is a sin. But if she were a free person she has no sin.
musicwriter: This type of topic should be deleted by the moderators as its promoting slavery. English is not our language!!. It is a language forced down the throats of our ancestors when we were slaves, and as such, you shouldn't be proud speaking it.
Some of you often ask; what were our ancestors doing to have been enslaved? What they were doing is the same thing you're doing today when you promote English language or feel proud speaking it.
Our native languages are now in a sorry state, some under threat of extinction, while we're busy fooling around promoting English. I regret to have learned to speak English in school. I wish I invested all that time studying Igbo language and one other Nigerian language, like Yoruba or Hausa. If I could go back to school I'll invest my time studying our native languages.
True! And when a Nigerian speak in English to an English guy, he will ask him how long he has been in England lol. Meaning the Afrian speaks like a bush man.
It is a huge shame I am typing in English now. I am a slave to the system and can see the death of my African Language. I am not proud of it. I wish I could type in Yoruba right now
Akpevwe9: While I was browsing the net this evening with my itel S31, came across this and decided to share. Who speaks the best English in Africa? And the answer is Uganda. According to the world linguistic Agency, Uganda takes the cake for being the best English speaking African Nation. First off, the idea behind the best English speaking African nation ranking is in no way to slight any nation. Africa is a country of an entirely different culture from the west. So, it is understandable that some African countries are still not fluent in them. As a matter of fact not all the nations of the world fancy the English language. English language is the global/international language at the moment. Like we say, anything worth doing is worth doing well. There are 28 English speaking African nations. From these 28, the World Linguistic Agency made a list of those who speak the best of English language in Africa. Best English Speaking Countries In Africa:
1. Uganda
2. South Africa
3. Nigeria
4. Kenya
5. Zambia
6. Botswana
7. Zimbabwe
8. Malawi
9. Ghana
10. Rwanda
11. Sudan
It is also worthy to mention that as some countries were not colonized by the British, their Lingua franca differs. It will be asking too much to expect fluency from them.
A list of the best colonised African countries. What a shame!
Anaximander: Hello good people. I seriously need help and I don't know where else to turn to. I need financial help to be able to sort out my school fees issue, I'm in my final year in the University and my dad is currently down with sickness. Our exams starts on Monday and I can't even concentrate or bring myself to read cos they don't allow anyone who hadn't paid at least half payment to write exams in my school. Please I'm begging anyone who God puts it in his or her heart to help me out. I don't want to spill please. I can provide any proof you want me to provide eight here please. My name is Ebunoluwa and my school is ekiti state university I'm in philosophy department and I'm in 400L
You don't need certificates to be successful dear sister. I see no reason for you to be worried.
laudate: Guy, you claim that "I'm sure you only think of going to Uni and getting a degree certificate." That is untrue. If you read my post carefully, with an open mind, you would see that I stated clearly that education is a stepping stone and a tool. I never claimed that it was an end in itself.
The requirements to acquire a degree certificate in a university varies from one department to the other, and from one course to the other. Even when you are studying for a degree, the process of study, research, analysis, evaluation, verification etc., demands some kind of discipline that comes in handy, at some stage in life. There is something called applied skills and application of knowledge, where skills learnt in one discipline can be applied to another, in order to get a better result.
In case you haven't noticed the best furniture salesmen are university graduates. Ask the likes of Ibukun Awosika the owner of Chair Centre and Sokoa who is also the current Chairman of First Bank. She owns one of the largest furniture factories in Nigeria. Or talk to Tony Ezekiel of Itex Furniture Company in Abuja, about how he has made millions from his furniture sales. They employ lots of carpenters but who hears about them? It is probably because those carpenters are uneducated or lack exposure.
I am sure that when it comes to medical care or legal defence, you would not say that "university education is good, but not necessary."
Your priority would be to get access to the most qualified doctor available to treat your health concerns, or to get an expert lawyer to handle your defence, if you ever find yourself on the wrong side of the law. The same scenario would occur, if you needed to build a house. You would seek for the best engineer, architect or project manager to assist you with the construction. I doubt if you would leave any major construction project solely in the hands of a bricklayer or a plumber, even though they would still come in useful at a certain point in the life of the project.
There are vocational skills that can be learnt on their own, but if you do have an education I believe it makes it easier for such learning to be grasped more easily, by the recipient. There are other areas such as conducting research, critical thinking etc., that are taught in most classes in the university which end up coming in handy, when you eventually apply for a role that requires such skills. NASA scientists for example, would definitely not agree that university education is overrated. Chemistry graduates can always put their skills to use by synthesising compounds, healthcare products etc., from different substances, if they are able to do so. There are over 10 different branches of Chemistry such as Analytical Chemistry and others. Their degree is not useless.
Driving a cab or a HVAC truck is not for everybody. I would never feel fulfilled in such a career. I need to use my mind and my intellect to create something that has value. Professional success is not all about money. The worker should also derive an intrinsic value or inner satisfaction from whatever role or task he engages in. I am not looking down on those with skills in driving and other such areas, but the truth is that university education still has a lot going for it, and should not be discarded or looked down upon.
So basically working in an office for someone else makes you fulfilled? I don't think earning £750 a week as a truck contractor ( your own truck) is without value. Tell me how many jobs will earn you that.
Doctors are necessary just as a plumber is necessary or a Builder. But when the country focus on becoming doctors, lawyers, zoologist chemist etc in a society that has no high demand then it is a waste. You do it for the money right but how much does a average banker earn in Nigeria ? Why waste so much years in school learning something that has 5% of happening. So many university graduates roaming the streets but less farmers when food is largely imported.
You can't look down on other skills but can only look up to them.
laudate: Another shallow epistle from a person who has not thought outside the box. You think simply leaving this country is the key to success? Go abroad and see how many Nigerians are still living from hand to mouth with nothing to show for it, because they have mortgaged their future to the system over there. Many of them cannot even come home, because after many years abroad they have nothing to show for it. Do you know the number of Nigerian graduates with Masters' degrees driving taxi cabs, in New York? Others have taken to crime and illegal means to make money, out of desperation. While quite a good number have had to marry foreigners of low repute, just to obtain a residence permit. At the end of the day, those foreigners show them pepper and they can't do jack, because they lack the means to move.
Oga, think deeply before you fall into the trap of thinking 'going abroad' is a trip to paradise, and you end up making such mistakes. For you to say NYSC is a waste of time, shows that you do not even understand what NYSC is all about. A number of my colleagues made use of their NYSC period to engage in small-scale businesses or learn new skills at their place of primary assignment, which ended up fetching them good money. I had a friend who finished from UNILAG and was posted to Warri. The guy got curious about kerosene business, made friends who taught him all he needed to know and got connected to people at the depot. At the end of his NYSC year, he made enough money to buy a small car.
Only fools think that education is over-rated. Ask Buhari about the insults he received during elections and till date, because of his lack of an education. Education is a stepping stone, a periscope that broadens your horizon, and a tool that enables you to move from where you are, to where you want to be. At the very least, it gives you a professional identity, so that the public does not see you as a nonentity. It validates the little you have learnt. But it is not the final prize that puts food on your table. You still have to do more after getting an education, in order to become successful. And this is where people miss it. They think an educational certificate will automatically get them a job, without realising it is just one of the tools that shows them how to acquire skills that help them get ahead, or create a job.
There are so many little things you can do to keep body and soul together, pending when you get a good job. Think outside the box, study hard and network. Learn from entrepreneurs and visit small-scale industries for ideas. Above all, pray to God to send you divine help and inspiration. With God on your side, you will surely make a difference.
University education is good but not necessary. But when you say education, I'm sure you only think of going to Uni and getting a degree certificate. Unfortunately that's not the only form of education. For example many people don't have a drivers license in the UK because they failed the theory test and they pulled out after many attempts . It means they are not prepared to drive. I drive the HGV trucks and it took me 3 months to practice my theory and practical. Trust me I feel well equipped to not only drive but know the rules and regulations, heights of whichever truck I drive and what type of bridge I can pass through. I am also well skilled to know hazards and road signs. That is education that took 4 months.
You mentioned people driving cabs in Europe, trust me they more money than many graduates in Europe....provided they are licensed. Do not look down on other skills and think going to uni is the only solution to life. I think a carpenter can be more successful than a bank manager in Nigeria if he knows his trade and is good at sales. Take a look at what the society consumes and you can easily produce lots of financial success by serving them. University certicate in Chemistry is of no importance in Nigeria, so why do people still go for it? Just to be called a graduate? Crazy!
I have some Edo friends and I personally think they are nice people...very nice folks. But out of many nice people come a few terrible ones like Bornstunner1 who happens to be a keyboard warrior on here. Some people are miserable and they try to make others feel like them. You need to calm down and perhaps be happy first before commenting on blogs.
BornStunner1: THE EDOID NATION TRANSCEND ALL ETHNIC GROUP IN NIGERIA!! U WOULD NEVER KNOW THIS BECAUSE U AVENT TRAVELLED PASS DAT HELL HOLE IN ILE IFE U CALL HOME!!
Did your ancestors write it down or are you saying this just to create a fight? It is easy to make claims but where is your source? You cannot try to educate people and abuse them at the same time. Are you writing this from a book or from hate?
GodsMopol: looool, actually it was an eye opening tes text for some who think they are just a number and of no significance or neither of value to God. that's what I meant
Who is the hidden God ? I'm interested in what you have to say
The police presence will be irrelevant if people want their freedom. Do Nigerians want it or not? Today will determine what path they choose to go. Chicken out and wait for Jesus to come? That would be a bad idea.
