Christianity EtcRe: Peter Okpaleke Resigns As Bishop Of Ahiara Diocese, Mbaise In Imo by Intrepid01(m): 8:33pm On Feb 19, 2018
LogicStatement:
Hey! That means another civil war will start from the church. Cardinal Anthony Okojie from Edo state was the Archbishop of Lagos for so many years and heaven did not fall. In fact, the Yorubas accepted and respected him as their Shepard and he turned out to be one of the best bishops any Yoruba state ever had
Infact he's now a Yoruba man, well his mum is Yoruba....once you settle in with Yorubas and show some loyalty, they'll take you as theirs....The reason you'll see Igbos wih chieftaincy titles in Ibadan.

Can Yoruba man be chairman of Islamic counsel of Nigeria?
Can Edo man be chief Inman of any mosque in the North? That is how politics revolves around religion in Nigeria. It is not about tribe. Bible says that the heart of man is insatiable.
Even in the present Nigeria, when you hear North , some states is more north than others.
Wow Wow Wow....what a poor analogy....yeah we all know the Country is greatly divided along ethic and religious lines but to see that Intra-tribal divisions is now slowly safe in is a big deal.....and being championed by our almighty BIAFRAN citizens is another TIME BOMB....

Imagine a Biafra where the problem of intra-tribal sentiments is the order of the day.... I have said it times and over, dividing this country won't solve any of our problems...we'll all be surprised to see that every problem associated with Nigeria will be found in evey new independent federating units.

Forget the jibe I threw at Igbos...the problem is pervasive.

Actually, you should be glad she's being honest. This is how all women think. All women. Look up the word "hypergamy". Liberate yourself and thank me later.
Hmmm..Nigerians and their unfounded statistical figures...All woman don't think like this...I've met and I know women who do t reason like this at all....My Cousin's husband ....from his own mouth, told me how his FIL (who was notably rich) told him I have no expectation for you, told him he never started from the top too and my Cousin was a type of woman sent to him from heaven....he told me all this with his own mouth.

The fact that we now have more ladies who do not have believe marriage values anymore or have faulty perception about marriage doesn't make it a general case.....The problem we all seem to be addressing from different angles; be it politics, marriage, religion etc...is the fast evading "Family Value" that is built on morality, loyalty, God's submission rather than societal dictate.

The other side of this story is really women should not marry less than what they currently have grin

I would want my children to live a better life than I have and to be honest I did have a good life so yes I see a situation where my family can offer to pay.

Whether it right or wrong depends on who you ask... yes it might not be good for the man ego but ego verus the children benefitting from having the best . In some cases it finding that right balance and be aligned in some of the fundamentals in life . I still prefer both parties marrying from similar class
You are the pefect example of the "woman-type" people have been saying every man should avoid....you really need to work on your psychic....riches and prosperity isn't a function of smartness or brilliance , therefore none is to be blamed for coming short in that regard.
I hope your intending suitors know what they are gunning for.

Japanish Yen JPY  (  1 JPY = 3.4020 NGN  )
Banknotes ¥1000, ¥2000, ¥5000, ¥10,000
Coins ¥1, ¥5, ¥10, ¥50, ¥100, ¥500



 1 USD = 105.8455 JPY

Sir, alway check your facts before you make your comments.



When did the poor performing NGN become a stardard of measure of performance for other currency?

If 1JPY = 1 NGN, like you wrote, then the both currencies are poor performing and you should retract your statement of classifying Japanish Yen as part of top performing currencies in the world.

The only point you have is the import/export ratio which has helped the Japanish Yen to perform better than the NGN. It in a way nullify the effect of presence of the high face value e.g. 10,000 JYP currency Notes.
Bros, you really tried with your write up and I was relaxed when I saw that Caveat emptor...that guy you quoted and some other guys up there have said it all...if you read their write up carefully , you'll realise they were speaking from the position of undertanding rather than the position of 'mere observation'....you need to understand the difference between the 'face value'and 'purchasing value' of a currency.......

In as much as what you wrote as solution will improve the naira it won't have any significant impovement as you thought, until this fundamental factors mentioned by some writers up there are done.

You should also note thatthe biggest monetary corruption happening in Nigeria is largely "electronic" ...the days of "Ghana must go" is gradually phasing out. so no matter the size of the money to be shared, your denominations will be of no effect.

My people seeking spiritual help...please be careful so that you wont fall in to a deeper mess.

If you require spiritual help and you live in Lagos and its environ...just find your way to Prayer City along Lagos Ibadan Expressway.

MFM owns prayer city and it is all about praying and fasting...you can participate in the weekly deliverance session.

The weekly deliverance session happens every week throughout the year (Mon-Fri) at no cost. All you'll need to bring along will be anointing oil, toilet roll and make provision for your accommodation.

Some people's problems get solved even before the end of the weekly deliverance, some people after the deliverance session while osme take more than one deliverance session. It all depend on how deep your battle is. But one thing is sure, no matter how deep the battle is, you'll have your victory eventually....

God bless you.

LiteratureRe: JP Clark, Achebe & Soyinka At Dodan Barracks In 1986 (Throwback Photo) by Intrepid01(m): 3:19pm On Dec 26, 2017
HeyCorleone:
I get your POV.

The Achebe you mentioned studied English Literature at U.I. So I don't understand why you singled him out. The Chimamanda you mentioned also graduated summa cum laude in Communications and Political science, has 2 Masters degree in Creative Arts and African study.

Why you mentioned those 2 people is quite beyond me because it seemed you were opposing my view.

It goes beyond saying that one must at least know the basics of literature before embarking on a project in the creative arts.

Education in Nigeria is one that doesn't do well to balance things up for people. Now, ask a science student in the University when last he did Literature, he'd say JS3 or before then, and any sane person knows Literature in Junior school was crap. Now tell me how can a person understand what exactly it is to write? It's not just enough to swallow all Sidney Sheldon's books or read anything by Stephen King or any other best seller. Do you really understand what it means to write? Do you understand the stages of a story? (conflict, climax, resolution) Do you have ideas of styles and techniques to employ in writing? And you want to write a book?? LoL..

Writing, whether we like it or not, is an art, and like all arts must be mastered, otherwise you'd be a very terrible writer. One of the very worst books I've read in recent times is "The Last Days Of Forcados High". Borrowed it from a neighbour's kid, and man was I depressed. The book was lacking in content. Fine the author had a nice story, but he doesn't know how to write. The depressing thing of all is the book is JAMB recommended.

Anyways, you mentioned some foreign names.. Lol.. These are writers who did literature and took part in literary activities till Grade 12, unlike here where they split us into departments. Surely they'd be grounded in literature. And also why in university, they may decide to minor in some art course, which is quite impossible here. So why won't they make brilliant writers after mastering the art of writing.

But here you have medical doctors who don't know the difference between a simile and a metaphor, who read all things medicine for fear of getting a 'C', and who have no idea about extensive writing coming out to write books or poems.

Lol..

That is why everything in Nigeria is awful. Because we just assume any dick can do any work in the field of art or the social sciences. That is why our Journalism is rubbish, our music rubbish, and the art of governance rubbish.
You're very much on point sir, "act of professionalism" can't be acquired wihout formal training. Apparently that is lacking in many so called writers. The sole reason I stopped reading Literatures on Nl,they are all just some beautifully packed incoherent stories for babies......
I hope people will be humble enough to let their passion for literature drive them to acquiring formal training on he subject matter.
LiteratureRe: JP Clark, Achebe & Soyinka At Dodan Barracks In 1986 (Throwback Photo) by Intrepid01(m): 3:11pm On Dec 26, 2017
arrestdarrester:
Now who is the medical doctor you're beefing? I advise you to call that person up and compare your flair for reading with him or her. On the other hand you may just be surprised you are no where close to the person in written English, whether on records in standardized exams or otherwise.

The fact that any writer did not study literature in english or literary arts does not make such a fellow any less a skilled writer. Its all about flair, polishing and finesse.

That said, I must say you know next to nothing about writing or story telling. You are one of those who think you must practice what you read in school. Professionalism in all disciplines have since gone beyond that. Writing is no different. Its either you have a flair for it or not. And those who have a flair for it need some polishing here and there to establish themselves in the art.
Bros, you still didnt get that guy's point, I'll advise you calm down, sheathe your sword and re-read his comment.
I for one believe that the act of "professionalism" that you used was rather to loose....to attain mastery and professionalism in anything, specific trainings are required. Fine, passion is a recipe for attaining it, but it doesn't confer professionalism...thank you.

datribune:
d right decision
While Trump, the "p*ssy grabber" is just playing politics by energizing his political base of Evangelicals in d USA, Netanyahu is a dangerous & dishonest right wing zionist extremist who does not believe in peace. He had to resign his appointment as finance Minister in protest to Sharon's giving back of Gaza to d Palestinians in furtherance of d 2-state solution & peace.

As an enlightened Christian, i realize dat d Israel to whom God gave d land is not the same nation dat we call Israel today. God gave the land to a people united to him by a solemn covenant ( Ex. 19-20 ). The present state of Israel is a state that does not recognize d God of d Bible as its supreme Lord. These unbelieving Jews hav been broken off frm dis covenant for in their unbelief they regard Christianity as idolatry & Jesus as a false prophet who came to turn humanity away frm God.
Wow! my brother i owe you a drink for this...many Christians don't know this opinion you just shared....they are so confused.

No they weren't.
As well as all the other North African countries e.g. Libya,morrocco,Tunisia etc. The Arabs were invaded who came and killed and conquered the people there and basically bred them out of existence.Sounds familiar ryt?
The original inhabitants were actually of the black race. Google the berbers,moors,Tuaregs..
The pictures attached are depictions of how the Egyptians painted and sculpted themselves,and an image of an Egyptian mummy.That should be enough.
