Billyonaire:
Did anyone say Jesus is God ? God is a Hierarchy in consciousness not a being. God is a high-energy consciousness field.

Are you explaining the theory of relativity?

NovusHomo:
Exactly the kind of knowledge we need in this recession. Calm down people, jesus is in control. By the way, was this guy supposed to say he hates jesus

If he hates Jesus then we will disown him

ilynem:
And I wonder why you all have this impression? I dont want us to go into a form of argument, I am just trying to gain knowledge. Why do Muslims believe Jesus is not God?

Because he made it clear in the bible that only fools think he is the son of god

mykel25:
If you believe Jesus you ll believe in his words and teachings John 10 vs 30.....I and my Father are one....if you read the whole chapter you ll understand that he is God and can't be separated from God....thanks

Open your eyes my friend. How can you tell me that three different things are one and expect me to believe in you?......... God, Jesus and Holy Spirit are one? Please open your eyes before its too late. .......... .... God is one he begets no son and he was not begotten. (Quran112:1-4)

eshietIntrepid:
And Jesus loves you so much, if only u will accept him as ur lord and personal saviour, it will be well with ur soul.

A rule of thumb in Islam is that a Muslim must believe in Jesus. Any Muslim that reject Jesus is not a Muslim. Our difference is that we Muslims believe him to be a prophet born by virgin Mary. He isn't a God.

Remember today is sunday and most people are either in church or on the way to the church

Correction!!! Most Christians. What of the self appointed atheist advocates on Nairaland? Are they in the church? Let me ask,.............. seun

Comptroller General of theNigeria Customs service,
Col. Hameed Ali (rtd), has ordered the immediate
removal of rice from import restriction list and
the re-introduction of import duty payment at
land borders. The Public Relations Officer of
customs, Mr Wale Adeniyi,
made this known in an
interview with the News
Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on
Wednesday in Abuja.
He said the restriction was only applied at
land border stations before now, adding
that the customs boss had lifted
restriction on rice at border stations.
Adeniyi said that all rice imports through
land borders by rice traders would attract
the prevailing import duty of 10 per cent
with 60 per cent levy.
He added that rice millers (preferential
levy) with valid quota allocation would
also attract duty rate of 10 per cent with
20 per cent levy on rice importation.
“Over the years importation has been
restricted to the seaports because border
authorities have found it difficult to
effectively monitor and control
importation of rice.

When the US adopted isolation policy, world war 1 broke out. Not until it joined Allied forces late into the second world war that victory came to sight. So if you ask me, I'd say the US should continue to police the world as long as global security is sustained.

They should keep on being the global police while our people suffer for what they are doing? They should stop manufacturing weapons instead.

The US wants to have a full military presence in Africa so that they have full control of the globe. The only place they don't have military men now is Russia.

Davash222:
Niger should be very technical in there dealings with the US.


US don't give freely.

True
That is the reality

.

The US is investing at least $50m in a military air base in Niger that will be capable of deploying drones. The US already has a presence in the capital Niamey, where it shares an airbase with France's anti-Islamist force, Operation Barkhane . MQ-9 Reaper drones are stationed there. But the new facility, in the central city of Agadez, will give Washington greater ability to use drones against Islamist extremists in neighbouring countries like Libya, Mali and Nigeria. A spokeswoman for the Pentagon, Michelle Baldanza, confirmed the US had agreed to pay for a new runway and "associated pavements, facilities and infrastructure". She estimated the cost at $50m but The Intercept, which first reported the story, said it is projected to cost twice that. The investigative news site reports that it has obtained files that show the project is considered "the most important US military construction effort in Africa" and will be completed in 2017. Drones, also known as UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) or RPAs (Remotely Piloted Aircraft) are used by the military for surveillance and to drop bombs, in places where it is too risky or difficult to send a pilot.

In recognition of his immense
contribution to human capital
development in Africa through the
establishment of businesses across the
African continent, a United States of
America based Organization, Africa-
America Institute (AAI) has honoured
the President of Dangote Group, Aliko
Dangote with the “2016 African
Business Leader Award.”
The business guru was named and
presented the award at a colourful
ceremony held on the side-line of the
United Nations Congress held in New
York city, United States alongside other
prominent Africans like Stephen Hayes,
President and CEO of the Corporate
Council on Africa (CCA), who won the
AAI ‘2016 U.S. Business Leader Award’;
and Sunil Benimadhu, Executive Director
of the Stock Exchange of Mauritius
(SEM), who won the AAI ‘2016
Distinguished Alumnus Award.’ Dangote said he was humbled by the
award considering the pedigree of the
award which celebrates African
achievement at the global stage and
promised that he would not be deterred
by the current economic challenges in
Nigeria but would intensify the
expansion of his businesses across
Africa.
At the award Gala themed “Education:
The Key to Africa’s Economic Growth,”,
Dangote expressed delight that the
Institute brought education in Africa to
the front burner., noting “I have always
been passionate about education
because I believe it is a weapon of
liberation.
Drawing a reference from a Nelson
Mandela quote that: “Education is the
most powerful weapon which you can
use to change the world.”, the Chairman
of Dangote Cement, global, said he
identified himself with laudable
initiatives that seek to promote
educational growth and development,
particularly in Africa.
“As a matter of fact, I am a founding
member of the Gordon Brown-led Global
Business Coalition for Education.
Education is also one of the cardinal
areas that the Aliko Dangote
Foundation focuses on. I believe quality
and affordable education will address
the immense social and economic
inequalities that often breed discontent
in many parts of Africa. I also believe
education will strengthen the human
capital that will drive Africa’s
development in the 21st Century.
“I am happy to note that AAI has been
contributing to Africa’s development,
through training and education, since it
was founded 63 years ago. This award
is coming at a time the Dangote Group
is rapidly expanding its footprints
across Africa, and into new sectors.
“Last year alone, we commenced cement
operations in Ethiopia, Zambia,
Cameroon, South Africa, Senegal and
Tanzania. By 2019, we will have
operations in 18 countries with a total
capacity of nearly 80MMTPA, thus
making us the largest cement producer
in Africa and the 6th largest in the
world.
“Over the next few years, we will be
investing nearly $20billion in projects
ranging from a petroleum refinery,
petrochemicals, fertiliser, gas pipeline,
and backward integration in sugar and
rice production. These projects will
create over 250,000 jobs and provide
foreign exchange earnings and savings
of $16billion for the country and help
diversify our economy. Central to this
developmental trajectory is the need for
capacity building and ramping up of the
quality of skills of a fast growing
African workforce.
“Despite the current economic
challenges, we will continue to scale up
the value of our investments not only in
Nigeria but also across the entire
continent, because we believe in
Nigeria’s and Africa’s potential. We
believe that it is only by sustained
massive investments in infrastructure
across the continent, supported with
access to education, that Africa can
reach its full potential.
“This award will further encourage us to
redouble our efforts as we work towards
promoting Africa’s economic
renaissance. We are grateful to the
organisers for recognising our modest
efforts to transform Africa”, He stated.
Founded in 1953, The Africa-America
Institute (AAI) is a premier U.S.-based
international organization dedicated to
strengthening human capacity of
Africans and promoting the continent’s
development through higher education
and skills training, convening activities,
program implementation and
management.
Its primary model is to identify capacity-
building projects and coordinate the
programmatic, financial administration
and evaluation necessary to deliver
high-impact results.

I am sure his CGPA is like a titre value (0.89, 0.75 etc). A four pointer cannot forfeit his future.

They are doing it for money but they keep hiding under the guise of improving the educational sector. They are only improving their pockets kawaiii.

The Academic Staff Union of
Universities, ASUU, said on
Monday that it would
commence a warning strike on
October 2.
A statement signed by Ben
Ugheoke, the Chairman,
University of Abuja chapter of
ASUU, stated that the Federal
Government had failed to
embark on meaningful dialogue
with the union.
“We have tried to dialogue with
the Federal Government but
they have been playing games
with us; we will start with a
warning strike to show them
we are not jokers.
“ASUU has being trying to get
the attention of the Federal
Government to intervene in the
academic system of universities
across Nigeria but it has all
been abortive.
“Consequently, ASUU will give a
warning strike which will start
on Oct. 2nd.
“The strike will last for one
week, and if they do not give us
listening ears, we will start the
indefinite strike in November,”
Mr. Ugheoke said in the
statement.
The News Agency of Nigeria
recalls that ASUU, had at a
recent news briefing accused
the Federal Government of
reneging on the 2009 agreement
with the union.
ASUU’s Coordinator, Abuja
Zone, Theophilus Lagi, also said
in the statement that the
government had only
implemented 30 per cent of the
provisions of Universities Needs
Assessment document.

Deployment. How much for house rent, feeding, for 23,000 what can u save. This APC regime na wa o

Wetin u dey talk? Has PDP government done better than this for the unemployed graduate?

It is a welcome development I think

The Nigerian Co m m u n i c a t i o n s
Commission (NCC) is planning to ban the
sales of SIMs cards in open market across the
country, a source told the Daily Trust.
A source in the commission said in Abuja,
yesterday, that the regulator would soon meet
with telecom operators to intimate them of its
plan.
This development followed a recent Daily
Trust report which said pre-registered SIM
cards were still sold by agents of GSM
operators, in spite of a ban.
The Daily Trust learnt that the commission
was secretly combing major markets across
Nigeria to confiscate the already registered
SIM cards and arrest the vendors and dealers
of the SIMs.
But NCC’s Director of Public Affairs, Mr Tony
Ojobo, said it was not true that the
commission was planning to ban open sale of
SIMs. “It is not true,” he said. Speaking on
phone, he added:
“We are only banning sale of pre-registered
SIM cards.” Meanwhile, the NCC has arrested
four vendors selling pre-registered SIM cards
at the popular Wuse Market in Abuja.
Mr Salisu Abdul, an assistant director,
enforcement, at the NCC, tsaid after the
arrest, last week, that the clampdown on those
behind the pre-registered SIM would continue
in other major markets in the country.
He said: “Today we have gone to MTN
premises, we are now in Wuse Market. The
purpose of the exercise is all about SIM
registration. For some time, NCC has been
trying to apply the SIM regulation so that all
SIMs can be duly registered.
However, we have been having report that
people are registering SIM cards and selling
them to the general public. There is serious
danger in doing that, it compromises national
security. We have got report that in many
locations in Abuja and nationwide this activity
is ongoing.”

I don't know the problem residing in the brain of nairalanders these days. This problem of dilapidate structures in public schools is all over Nigeria not only in the north, and it was there even before PMB comes to power but many who are ethnic or religious bigots will keep on blaming PMB for the fault of the state governors.
