If there's a woman to be celebrated here, then Her Lord Justice of the Supreme Court of Nigeria, Justice (Mrs) Mary Odili must be that woman. She's a brilliant and dedicated career woman who has used her legal career to keep her husband away from jail-that to me is her biggest achievement. This she achieved owing to her deep love for her husband, Sir (Dr.) Peter Odili, a man she met way back at UNN when they were both students of law and medicine respectively. It is no mean feat to be a judge of the Supreme court of Nigerian and so Her Lord Justice (Mrs) Mary Odili, she is Nigerian's most powerfully lady of living times.

Will the N10b make Jang innocent of the charges from Dariye? Because as evident in this report, nowhere did Jang ask Dariye to provide proof to his allegation nor did Jang refute the corruption claim. All Jang seem to be interested in is the N10b fee Dariye should be made to pay for libel even when Dariye might said the truth. Jang, am begining to suspect you oooh. Anyway, the court must first establish the truthfulness or otherwise of Dariye's allegation before ordering him to pay the money concious Governor.

That Mallam is a pathological lier, a very heartless adminstrator with an innocent look. He's neither hot nor cold, short and yet not fat. I never liked him.

I onced had a crush for a girl who felt she was too big for me. I never felt intimidated but on a very good day I made her look and feel so small that to-date I hold the record of the most wicked guy she ever knew. I still feel am done with her yet. [color=#990000][/color]

Celebrating the crowned king of corruption! James Ibori!

Mr. Vice President, let me humbly remind you that you are an Architect by calling and a politician by profession. None of these makes you an Engineer and so might be in position to speak of Nigeria producing an aircraft soon. We have failed to maintain cars made by others nor been able to produce tyres not to talk about producing cars. So lets not speak of aircraft otherwise it will amount to economic sabotage.

As a regular User of this very deplorable road, I feel a heavy guilt not to have brought this to the attention of this forum and so must thank the Citizen who did this good job.
I have on many occasion called on the impeachment of the Imo State Governor owing to the condition of this road and the many pain it has caused its users, let me again call on concerned persons to join in asking that the Governor, Senator, and house members in both state and federal levels be held accountable for the deplorable condition of this road. Be informed that this road is the only viable access to FEDPONEK and FUTO both being highly esteemed citadels of learning in Imo state and Nigeria. As this road continue to decline each passing day, without an iota of attention, it will soon be impassable and the communities in this part of the State totally cut-off from Owerri and the rest of the world.
Let Humans do what they can do before they leave the rest for God!

The Bible is not an object of charm or a talisman. Those who practice this are reducing the Holy writings to a talisman. Proverbs 18:10 says: 'The name of Jehovah is a strong tower. Into it the righteous runs and is given protection.' So God's name-Jehovah-not the Bible is a saving power. So put faith in Jehovah and seek to do his will, thus taking refuge in his name -Zeph. 3:12, 13

Now considering your question directly, please note that communication with the dead is expressly condemned by God in Holy word of truth-The Bible. Read for your from your copy of the Bible at Lev. 19:31; Deut. 18:10-12; Isa. 8:19
The Bible is not silent concerning the condition of the dead, find this verses of the scripture in your copy of the Bible so as not to be deceived: Eccl. 9:5: “The living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all.”
Ps. 146:4: “His spirit goes out, he goes back to his ground; in that day his thoughts [“thoughts,” KJ, 145:4 in Dy; “all his thinking,” NE; “plans,” RS, NAB] do perish.”
John 11:11-14: “‘Lazarus our friend has gone to rest, but I am journeying there to awaken him from sleep.’ . . . Jesus said to them outspokenly: ‘Lazarus has died.’” (Also Psalm 13:3)
Feel free to ask more questions so you can enjoy the privilege Jesus spoke of at Matt.7:7

What is baptism for the dead?
In writing about the heavenly resurrection, the apostle Paul penned a most intriguing passage. In the King James Version, we read: “Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead?” And The New Jerusalem Bible renders this passage: “What are people up to who have themselves baptised on behalf of the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, what is the point of being baptised on their behalf?”—1 Corinthians 15:29.
Was Paul here suggesting that living people be baptized on behalf of those who died in an unbaptized state? So it might seem from these and some other Bible translations. However, a closer examination of both the Scriptures and the original Greek used by Paul suggests another conclusion. Paul meant that anointed Christians are baptized, or immersed, into a course of life that will lead to a death of integrity like that of Christ. Afterward, they would be raised to spirit life as he was.
The Scriptures support this explanation. In his letter to the Romans, Paul wrote: “Do you not know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?” (Romans 6:3) In his letter to the Philippians, Paul spoke of himself, saying: “Sharing in [Christ’s] sufferings, submitting myself to a death like his, to see if I may by any means attain to the earlier resurrection from the dead.” (Philippians 3:10, 11) Paul was pointing out that the life of an anointed follower of Christ involves a course of integrity-keeping under test, a daily facing of death, and finally a death of integrity, followed by the heavenly resurrection.
It is noteworthy that these and other scriptures that directly mention death in connection with baptized ones refer to living individuals who had been baptized and not to those who had died. Paul also told fellow anointed Christians: “You were buried with him in his baptism, and by relationship with him you were also raised up together through your faith in the operation of God, who raised him up from the dead.”—Colossians 2:12.
The Greek preposition hy·per′, translated “for” or “on behalf of” in various Bible versions at 1 Corinthians 15:29, can also mean “for the purpose of.” In harmony with other Bible texts, the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures therefore correctly renders this verse: “What will they do who are being baptized for the purpose of being dead ones? If the dead are not to be raised up at all, why are they also being baptized for the purpose of being such?”

At 25 she's of age and the father should leave to her choice. Every of life's decisions have consequences and we must accept the responsibilities of our decisions when the time comes.
The glaring fact to her conversion is that it is not based on conviction but on wishful thinking and in expectation of a marriage if she's not already married to one Muslim man.
Her parents failed in parenting her and convincing her of why her parents' faith was the right way to serve God. They also lacked the required parental control of her from an early age and so take a measure responsibility from what will result of her life and decisions.
Her father is wrongly behind time in wanting to help her because he had all the infancy ages to do so but failed. Little wondered the inspired Proverbs admonitions parents to train up a child in the way for him/her that even when he grows old he will not depart from that way.
Their unbridled allowance of association with every form of persons lead her to keep association with Muslims and so the words of the Holy writings fulfilled in her case when it says 'Bad association spoils useful habits'.
None-the-less, the deed is done!
