William Tyndale
On the early hours of this day in 1536 William Tyndale was killed,
He was a courageous and a good man, he is the reason why we both owns and read the Bible today,
William Tyndale was born about 1495 at Slymbridge near the Welsh border. He received his degrees from Magdalen College, Oxford, and also studied at Cambridge. He was ordained to the priesthood in 1521, and soon began to speak of his desire, which eventually became his life's obsession, to translate the Scriptures into English. It is reported that, in the course of a dispute with a promminent clergyman who disparaged this proposal, he said, "If God spare my life, ere many years I will cause a boy that driveth the plow to know more of the Scriptures than thou dost." The remainder of his life was devoted to keeping that vow, or boast. Finding that the King, Henry VIII, was firmly set against any English version of the Scriptures, he fled to Germany (visiting Martin Luther in 1525), and there travelled from city to city, in exile, poverty, persecution, and constant danger. Tyndale understood the commonly received doctrine -- the popular theology -- of his time to imply that men earn their salvation by good behavior and by penance. He wrote eloquently in favor of the view that salvation is a gift of God, freely bestowed, and not a response to any good act on the part of the receiver. His views are expressed in numerous pamphlets, and in the introductions to and commentaries on various books of the Bible that accompanied his translations. He completed his translation of the New Testament in 1525, and it was printed at Worms and smuggled into England. Of 18,000 copies, only two survive. In 1534, he produced a revised version, and began work on the Old Testament. In the next two years he completed and published the Pentateuch and Jonah, and translated the books from Joshua through Second Chronicles, but then he was captured (betrayed by one he had befriended), tried for heresy, and put to death. tried for heresy, and put to death. He was burned at the stake, but, as was often done, the officer strangled him before lighting the fire. His last words were, "Lord, open the King of England's eyes."

FRSC and the Nigerian immigration are the most useless people government scrap those commissions.

thank you dear it seems only you and I can reason this way

6. xenophobic
7. rape capital of the world
8. HIV capital.
9. murder capital.
10. crime capital..

Two Lawyers went into a Restaurant, sat down and ordered 2 coffees. When coffee was served, they both took out sandwiches from their briefcases and started to eat. Upon seeing this, the Waitress quickly quipped and said....

"Sorry gentlemen but you can't eat your OWN FOODS here, it's against the rules"...

The Lawyers looked at each other and silently, EXCHANGED their sandwiches and continued to eat....

(You can't trust Lawyers when it comes to loopholes in any rules. You have to choose your wording carefully)...

julietm123:
Grace no try at all. Hopefully, the matter will be resolved to avoid a diplomatic row. South Africa also overdoes things. Oversabi SA , trying to act as the police watch dog of Africa. They are as corrupt as they come.

The highest level of hypocrisy by south Africans and Africans,
The same people that are calling for the arrest of Zimbabwe first Lady Mrs. Grace Mugabe for hitting a lady with an extension cord are the same people who are killing foreigners in the name of xenophobia, this Wednesday a Nigerian was murdered in the Western cape South Africa by members of the south African police,,
The hypocrisy in Africa is that when an indigent or a citizen does something it's not a crime but when a foreigner does the same thing it became a great crime, last week a south African minister assaulted two women at a club it was not a crime, a few months back a young lady was murdered by her ex boyfriend and her corpse burned to ashes it was not a crime, we all knew how south Africa is violent towards women, a country where a woman is raped in every 26 Minutes, a country where they Believed that rapping a virgin cure's HIV even if it's a 9 months old baby,
Last year a Congolese musician was deported from Kenya just because he attempted to kick a Lady one of his dancer's, and I thought Kenyan men were not violent towards women until few weeks back a Kenyan police officer beat up his girlfriend (wife to be) decorated her face with a razor blade, and leak her nude pictures on the Internet, nothing happened to him because he was not a foreigner, this is the hypocrisy in Africa and is the reason why we're not progressing until we start to reason beyond our borders, we should not allow country's border's to separate us, or create tribalism, a crime is a crime either committed by a citizen or a foreigner.

In Nigeria, Chinese Investment Comes With a Downside


| A Friendship That Comes With a Toll Chinese trade and investment in Nigeria have made goods cheaper and spurred infrastructure projects, but the relationship has also exacted a cost.
By KEITH BRADSHER and ADAM NOSSITER
DECEMBER 5, 2015
Emeka Ezelugha was excited to open a computer training center. He could teach his countrymen some skills and earn a living.
But soon after the center opened in a rough, two-story concrete building in Lagos, a blaze broke out in the main classroom. The flames incinerated 30 desktop computers, as well as televisions and air-conditioners.
The culprit was unmistakable: one of two dozen power strips in the classroom. The faulty equipment was made in China, even though the salesman said it was British.
“The guy tried to convince me it was from the U.K. — I was surprised when it happened,” Mr. Ezelugha said.
Across this populous African nation, low-cost Chinese goods are everywhere, evidence of Beijing’s growing dominance in global trade. The trade flow has helped keep life affordable for millions of Nigerian families, at a time when the country is struggling with economic stagnation and plunging prices, as well as the deadly costs of the Boko Haram insurgency.
But shoddy or counterfeit products are a national problem in Nigeria, Africa’s largest economy, where impoverished consumers have few alternatives. Some shoddy goods are benign, like the Chinese-made shirts, trousers and dresses with uneven stitching and stray threads that fill street markets. But electrical wiring, outlets and power strips from China, ubiquitous in new homes and offices, are connected to dozens of fires a year in Lagos alone.
The relationship between China and Nigeria is a complex web of dependency, one replicated in dozens of developing countries around the world, like Chile, Ethiopia and Indonesia. Such ties are integral to China’s global ambitions. President Xi Jinping of China, who was in Africa this week emphasizing economic diplomacy, just committed $60 billion in development assistance to the Continent.
But such efforts also pose new and unpredictable challenges for Beijing. China has lent heavily to commodity-exporting countries, which are now struggling with low commodity prices. At the same time, China’s highly competitive manufacturing sector has devastated many smaller-scale rivals across Africa, Asia and Latin America. Mr. Xi’s pledge in Africa, in part, seemed aimed at quelling criticism over what some see as a lopsided relationship that largely benefits China.
To support its swelling trade in Nigeria, China is funneling billions of dollars to build roads, rail lines, airport terminals, power plants and other desperately needed infrastructure. China is the top lender to Nigeria, where political instability and violence have made Western interests skittish.
Nigeria, in turn, has become the biggest overseas customer of Chinese construction companies. It is an important market for Beijing, at a time when China’s own growth is slowing.
But China’s extensive reach is now meeting resistance in Nigeria, part of the broader risks for Beijing’s global strategy.
In Abuja, the capital, the new government is conducting anticorruption investigations into large Chinese construction contracts signed by the previous leadership. Nigerian state governments are struggling to pay for many of those projects, exposing China to potentially heavy losses.
In Kano, angry protesters in the streets blame widespread joblessness on China, which is manufacturing African fabric designs in shimmering hues more cheaply than Nigeria. Employment in Nigeria’s textile and apparel sector has plummeted to 20,000 people, from 600,000 two decades ago.
In Lagos, authorities are trying to stamp out subpar Chinese electric goods. Imported power strips and wiring have inadequate copper to handle Nigeria’s 240-volt system, said Wanza Kussiy, the chief safety officer of the Nigerian government’s Standards Organization.
Zhang Sen, the vice secretary general of China’s government-controlled Electronic Product Association, said that the group was reviewing Nigeria’s fires. “We still need to do some research before we can say the quality of the Chinese products is to blame,” he said.
Nigerian authorities are stymied. Corruption is endemic, making it more difficult to enforce safety standards. And Chinese goods are so dominant that consumer have few other choices.
In Lagos, Mr. Ezelugha borrowed heavily to reopen his computer training center after the fire. But the power strips are still made in China. He couldn’t find anything else.
Idle Factories, Idle Hands
Kano’s cloth industry started in the walled ancient city, a labyrinth of mud brick houses and dirt roads.
The city’s blue dye has long been made from the leaves of local indigo plants, which are crushed and mixed with cooking ashes and potassium. Swaths of white cotton fabric are dunked in the dye, which fills six-foot-deep pits lined with animal skins.
But employment at the centuries-old dye pits has dropped to 250 people, from nearly 1,500 a decade ago. Chinese companies produce virtually identical patterns of fabrics using synthetic dyes, and their sales now dominate in Kano’s open-air market.
“They are learning our arts and taking them to their country and doing them similarly to us, and bringing the goods back to Nigeria and selling them to our people,” said Bala Ibrahim, 45, who has labored in the pits since his early teens. Now he spends whole days idle.
Such stories are common across Nigeria’s garment industry. The city’s tanneries, which made Moroccan leather from goatskins for centuries, have laid off most of their staffs. Dozens of modern fabric factories on the outskirts of Kano have closed.
In theory, Nigeria should have a manufacturing edge, at least in labor-intensive industries like sewing.
With high unemployment in Nigeria, factory owners can easily find workers willing to accept the minimum wage, just $80 a month. By comparison, garment factories in coastal China now pay around $550 a month and still can’t find enough workers.
Despite the high cost of labor, it remains cheaper and easier to mass-produce garments in China.
One obstacle to setting up a large-scale sewing industry like Bangladesh’s is that Nigeria imposes significant tariffs on imported fabric, a legacy of its past as a big producer of hand-woven fabric and as a large grower of cotton. Another challenge is that electricity from Nigeria’s national grid is unreliable. So operations must rely on diesel generators, buying fuel at a cost per kilowatt-hour generated that is six times what garment makers in China pay.
The Nigerian government wants to revive manufacturing, particularly given low prices now for its oil exports. Abdulkadir Musa, the recently retired permanent secretary of Nigeria’s ministry of industry, trade and investment, said the government was mulling reductions in tariffs on garment materials that are not produced in Nigeria, possibly including buttons. “We want to start that all over now that oil is no longer at a high price,” Mr. Musa said, adding that overreliance on oil exports “has been more of a problem for us than a solution.”
For now, Nigerians just can’t compete.
Chimezie Cyril Okwuosa scrimped for years to set up his own small garment factory near Lagos in 2005. He had 25 sewing machines, 30 workers and a noisy diesel generator. The factory failed within five years.
“I was spending so much on diesel that at the end of the day, I had no profit — and some days, there was no diesel at all, and I could not operate,” Mr. Okwuosa said.
Mr. Okwuosa now runs Greentomato Apparels, a small-scale importer of children’s trousers. He pays $2.50 a pair to a factory in Guangzhou, China, and then only 10 or 12 cents a pair for shipping. He sells the pants for about $3.25 a pair, leaving him a small profit margin.
The collapse of manufacturing is more than just a financial issue.
It has also fanned worries about the possible spread of Boko Haram, an insurgency condemned for its large-scale abductions and sexual enslavement of women and girls. Boko Haram has drawn young men to its ranks in destitute northeastern Nigeria, the country’s poorest region.
Emir Muhammadu Sanusi II, the traditional ruler of Kano in northern Nigeria, has seen the devastation up close. Outside his palace, a low maroon building with battlements, is a large burn mark. Late last year, a group linked by the government to Boko Haram set off three bombs in a large crowd and then used automatic weapons to spray bullets at the survivors. As many as 500 people were killed.
“The Chinese basically copy every textile product in Nigeria,” Emir Sanusi said. “I worry about what could happen to Kano when we have a large number of youths and large numbers of industries are down.”
A Flood of Chinese Steel
At a Lagos steelyard of Dorman-Long Engineering, the only activity on a recent afternoon was the welding of an oil storage tank. With the steep drop in world oil prices, longtime customers like Exxon Mobil and Royal Dutch Shell are no longer commissioning as many helipads and footbridges for their offshore drilling platforms.
The locally owned engineering firm had expected Chinese construction companies operating in Nigeria to help offset the slump. But Chinese construction companies, mostly state-owned, have largely imported their steel girders, reinforcing beams and other materials from home.
“I just don’t see a lot of local content in what they do,” said Timi Austen-Peters, the company’s chairman.
Infrastructure financed and built by China was supposed to be the great hope for Nigeria.
Nigeria endured coups and a civil war in the 1960s, then effectively nationalized many foreign-owned companies in the 1970s. Nigeria developed a reputation for breaking or renegotiating contracts, antagonizing many foreign partners.
The risks have prompted Western companies to demand very fat profits before putting money into the country — returns on the order of 25 to 40 percent a year. Their Chinese counterparts have been willing to accept 10 percent or less.
“Unless the West changes its risk assessment, the Chinese will beat them to the African market,” said Osadebe Osakwe, a former Nigerian banker who is now the managing director of North China Construction Nigeria. The company is a subsidiary of a state-owned enterprise in Beijing. “The Chinese are trying to prove that they can do what the Western companies can do and they can do it better.”
Chinese companies have piled into the country. Mostly state-owned Chinese construction companies have started $24.6 billion worth of projects since 2005, the highest of anywhere in the world, according to the American Enterprise Institute, a Washington research group.
“Africa has a real demand for infrastructure and industrial developments — in those areas, China has strong ability and surplus capacity to invest and build,” China’s prime minister, Li Keqiang, said during a visit to Nigeria last year.
But as demand at home falters, Chinese companies have been shipping huge quantities of steel girders, piping and other industrial materials at extremely low prices to emerging markets like Nigeria. So there is little benefit for local players like Dorman-Long Engineering that used to fabricate much of this equipment.
Executives at Chinese construction companies say they do buy some local materials. But they add that China’s exports are often more readily available and better made, so they can be quickly and reliably included in complex projects.
The new Nigerian government is starting to question whether all the construction projects are in the country’s best interest. Many projects, like new international or refurbished airport terminals in Lagos, Abuja, Kano and Port Harcourt, help the country’s elite but may do less for the poor.
The new government is now searching for signs of fraud, corruption or other misconduct in existing contracts. President Muhammadu Buhari of Nigeria announced on Aug. 10 that his government had already found that hundreds of millions of dollars were mysteriously diverted from one Chinese-backed rail project to other government projects, although it was not immediately clear if corruption was involved.
Bullet Train Boondoggle
The pride of the previous Nigerian administration, which left office in May, was supposed to be a new passenger train line that links Abuja to Kaduna. With trains traveling at nearly 120 miles per hour, the $874 million line is supposed to cut the three-hour highway trip in half.
But the line may not draw many passengers.
A graceful new train station is a 40-minute drive from downtown, surrounded by cornfields and cow pastures. The extension of the line into downtown Abuja has been severely delayed, and money is running short for its completion. And even though Nigeria desperately needs more freight trains, the rail line with its fragile-looking bridges is too lightly built to support heavily laden cargo cars.
The fate of the line — like dozens of Chinese projects around Nigeria — is a potential problem for Beijing.
Infrastructure projects in Nigeria have been fueled by the same manic lending that has also created mountains of debt for China’s economy at home. State-controlled Chinese banks have lent money at rock-bottom interest rates in deeply indebted Nigeria.
They have done so based on the assumption that the Chinese government will repay them if Nigeria cannot.
A little-known Chinese government agency, Sinosure, has guaranteed the loans. Sinosure insured $427 billion worth of Chinese exports and overseas construction projects around the world in 2013, the most recent year available. The Export-Import Bank of the United States, by comparison, issued just $5 billion worth of credit in each of the last two years.
Nigeria is a particularly shaky bet for China. The corruption investigations could prompt the government to cancel contracts outright. Government revenue has dropped by more than half since the fall in world oil prices, so the country may not have the money to make good on the Chinese deals.
The riskiest projects of all may be those like the high-speed rail line that are widely viewed as the previous administration’s vanity projects.
A Chinese construction manager at the new station on Abuja’s outskirts, who identified himself only as Mr. Zhang, said the project would be finished by next March. It was only behind schedule, he added, because of shipping delays.
“We’re waiting for materials from China,” Mr. Zhang said, “like toilets.”

At first I thought only Nigerians were silly like this, but now I've found other people called Zimbabweans who belong to the same class, two similarities between Nigerians and Zimbabweans are:
1. Both are well Educated but are ignorant of what the main cause of their countries problems are.
2. Both Nigerians and Zimbabweans are the only people that wish their leader (president) death.
I've seen many posters on the internet showing Robert Mugabe in a casket, I've seen a lot of obituaries about Mugabe,
Many people in Nigeria hate buhari for no reason, some say it's because he's not from their region, religion, political parties etc. But the bible ask us to pray for our leaders and not to hate them.
Nigerians are becoming very lazy and ignorant of their society every day.
Nigerians blame their president for every misfortune that befall them, Nigerians want to live in heaven but they don't want to prepare the ground, even Jesus Christ went to prepare heaven before coming back to take his people back home but Nigerians want govt to do everything for them. The worst is that most Nigerians about 89% of Nigerians don't pay their tax.
So you want govt to go and print money and start building roads, hospitals, schools and electricity right?? Nigerians it's not done like that, many people in Nigeria don't know how govt generat revenue, all they know is that there Government is rich and can do anything if they want.
I always ask some people this questions: does it mean that gadaffi, idi amin, Robert Mugabe and Jonathan were really bad as many of us think?? NO. The cause of their fall is because they believe in Africanism. They believe that Africans can make it without the west, and that's the only crime this people have done against the west so the west now uses the media to spoil their reputation and make them look bad, evil, corrupte etc.
The fail of Zimbabwe is the handiwork of the west in order to frustrate and humiliat president Robert Mugabe, the fail of president Goodluck Jonathan administration was the hand work of those same people who killed gaddafi, why did America ask south Africa to seize Nigeria's money us$16m and ask isreal and Russia not to sell arms to Nigeria?? should you force Africans to depend on you for everything? every African leader who believe that he can do without the west becomes an enemy and is eliminated. Is there hope for Africa??

ABEG... IF U LUV UR MOM... JUST SAY I LOVE MUM!!!!!!

To those of us who don't understand Economic terms. Dollar has not increased since Buhari be
came president.
1. Dollar is not our currency so dollar should not be our business.
2. Our problem is not d government but our problem is our importers and consumers and dwindling oil revenue
3. Naira has remained at 197 naira to 1 dollar since Buhari became president.
4. Buhari has promised not to devalue the Naira and he has maintained that promise.
5. Both at CBN and at interbank rates, dollar has remained 197.
6. However because we are too lazy to produce what we use in Nigeria we import even toothpicks and matches.
7. Buhari does not like d importation of luxury goods because luxury goods is d reason for most corruption, that is why he banned 41 products from having access to forex.
8. However when Nigerian importers insisted on importing those 41 products, FG asked them to find their dollar at d BDCs parallel market also known as black market.
9. And to discourage the pressure Nigerians are mounting on the Naira just to get dollars for importation, CBN banned DMBs from selling dollars to BDCs.
10. To survive the pressure of excess dollar demands, BDCs resorted to sourcing for dollars from neighbouring countries through illicit money laundering routes.
11. Because of the risks faced by BDCs to source for dollars, and because of the increase in demand for dollars by importers because China just resumed from their business holidays, BDCs keep increasing the price at which they exchange dollars to naira and now it is 400 naira to 1 dollars.
12. However that does not mean that govt has changed the exchange rate because if our genuine importers go to CBN and fill Form M to import raw materials for local production, they will get dollars at 197 naira each.
13. So the problem is that we love to consume luxury foreign products yet we are too lazy to manufacture them here.
14. For example u will see a dull girl using iPhone 5 without even knowing simple physics and computer engineering part of how that phone was produced.
15. I want Buhari to ban every foreign product from Nigeria until Nigerians learn to produce and use Made in Nigeria products.
16. Let us stop complaining about dollar as if dollar has become Nigeria's currency.
17. It is even bad enough that most of those complaining about the high exchange rate of dollar do not have 1 single dollar in their purse.
PLEASE USE MADE IN NIGERIA PRODUCTS...
God bless 9ja
A time is coming when we shall all be proud of Nigeria once again.. We should all imbibe transparency, honesty, dedication to our works, corruption free mind and believe that our success comes from God Almighty only..

HOW THE APOSTLES DIED.
Copied: 1. Matthew
Suffered martyrdom in Ethiopia, Killed by a sword wound.
2. Mark
Died in Alexandria, Egypt , after being dragged by Horses through the streets until he was dead.
3. Luke
Was hanged in Greece as a result of his tremendous Preaching to the lost.
4. John
Faced martyrdom when he was boiled in huge Basin of boiling oil during a wave of persecution In Rome. However, he was miraculously delivered From death.
John was then sentenced to the mines on the prison Island of Patmos. He wrote his prophetic Book of Revelation on Patmos . The apostle John was later freed and returned to serve As Bishop of Edessa in modern Turkey . He died as an old man, the only apostle to die peacefully
5. Peter
He was crucified upside down on an x-shaped cross.
According to church tradition it was because he told his tormentors that he felt unworthy to die In the same way that Jesus Christ had died.
6. James
The leader of the church in Jerusalem , was thrown over a hundred feet down from the southeast pinnacle of the Temple when he refused to deny his faith in Christ. When they discovered that he survived the fall, his
enemies beat James to death with a fuller's club.
* This was the same pinnacle where Satan had taken Jesus during the Temptation.
7. James the Son of Zebedee,
was a fisherman by trade when Jesus Called him to a lifetime of ministry. As a strong leader of the church, James was beheaded at Jerusalem. The Roman officer who guarded James watched amazed as James defended his faith at his trial. Later, the officer Walked beside James to the place of execution. Overcome by conviction, he declared his new faith to the judge and Knelt beside James to accept beheading as a Christian.
8. Bartholomew
Also known as Nathaniel Was a missionary to Asia. He witnessed for our Lord in present day Turkey. Bartholomew was martyred for his preaching in Armenia where he was flayed to death by a whip.
9. Andrew
Was crucified on an x-shaped cross in Patras, Greece. After being whipped severely by seven soldiers they tied his body to the cross with cords to prolong his agony. His followers reported that, when he was led toward the cross, Andrew saluted it in these words: 'I have long desired and expected this happy hour. The cross has been consecrated by the body of Christ hanging on it.' He continued to preach to his tormentors For two days until he expired.
10. Thomas
Was stabbed with a spear in India during one of his missionary trips to establish the church in the Sub-continent.
11. Jude
Was killed with arrows when he refused to deny his faith in Christ.
12. Matthias
The apostle chosen to replace the traitor Judas Iscariot, was stoned and then beheaded.
13. Paul
Was tortured and then beheaded by the evil Emperor Nero at Rome in A.D. 67. Paul endured a lengthy imprisonment, which allowed him to write his many
epistles to the churches he had formed throughout the Roman Empire. These letters, which taught many of the foundational Doctrines of Christianity, form a large portion of the New Testament.
Perhaps this is a reminder to us that our sufferings here are indeed minor compared to the intense persecution and cold cruelty faced by the apostles and disciples during their times For the sake of the Faith. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: But he that endureth to the end shall be saved.
Pass on to encourage other Christians
Why Do we feel sleepy in Prayer,
But stay awake through a 3 hour movie?
Why are we so bored when we look at the HOLY BOOK,
But find it easy to read other books?
Why is it so easy to ignore a msg about God,
Yet we forward the nasty ones?
Why are Prayers getting smaller,
But bars and clubs are expanding
Why is it so easy to worship a celebrity,
But very difficult to engage with God?
Think about it, are you going to forward this?
Are you going to ignore it, cause you think you will get laughed at?
Forward this to all your friends.
80% of you won't forward this.
God said:
If you deny me in front of your
friends, I will deny you on the day of judgment:
When one door closes , God opens two : If God has opened doors for you.[color=#990000][/color]

6. James
The leader of the church in Jerusalem , was thrown over a hundred feet down from the southeast pinnacle of the Temple when he refused to deny his faith in Christ. When they discovered that he survived the fall, his
enemies beat James to death with a fuller's club.
* This was the same pinnacle where Satan had taken Jesus during the Temptation.
7. James the Son of Zebedee,
was a fisherman by trade when Jesus Called him to a lifetime of ministry. As a strong leader of the church, James was beheaded at Jerusalem. The Roman officer who guarded James watched amazed as James defended his faith at his trial. Later, the officer Walked beside James to the place of execution. Overcome by conviction, he declared his new faith to the judge and Knelt beside James to accept beheading as a Christian.
8. Bartholomew

9. Andrew
Was crucified on an x-shaped cross in Patras, Greece. After being whipped severely by seven soldiers they tied his body to the cross with cords to prolong his agony. His followers reported that, when he was led toward the cross, Andrew saluted it in these words: 'I have long desired and expected this happy hour. The cross has been consecrated by the body of Christ hanging on it.' He continued to preach to his tormentors For two days until he expired.
10. Thomas
Was stabbed with a spear in India during one of his missionary trips to establish the church in the Sub-continent.
11. Jude
Was killed with arrows when he refused to deny his faith in Christ.
12. Matthias
The apostle chosen to replace the traitor Judas Iscariot, was stoned and then beheaded.
13. Paul
Was tortured and then beheaded by the evil Emperor Nero at Rome in A.D. 67. Paul endured a lengthy imprisonment, which allowed him to write his many
epistles to the churches he had formed throughout the Roman Empire. These letters, which taught many of the foundational Doctrines of Christianity, form a large portion of the New Testament.
Perhaps this is a reminder to us that our sufferings here are indeed minor compared to the intense persecution and cold cruelty faced by the apostles and disciples during their times For the sake of the Faith. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: But he that endureth to the end shall be saved.

Why Do we feel sleepy in Prayer,
But stay awake through a 3 hour movie?
Why are we so bored when we look at the HOLY BOOK,
But find it easy to read other books?
Why is it so easy to ignore a msg about God,
Yet we forward the nasty ones?
Why are Prayers getting smaller,
But bars and clubs are expanding
Why is it so easy to worship a celebrity,
But very difficult to engage with God?
Think about it, are you going to forward this?
Are you going to ignore it, cause you think you will get laughed at?
Forward this to all your friends.
80% of you won't forward this.
God said:
If you deny me in front of your
friends, I will deny you on the day of judgment:
When one door closes , God opens two : If God has opened doors for you.

Damikevin:
At least we are better than the European and Asian men that traffic them for prostitution! He gave you the best feeling in the world that's why they never say the end game!

thank you bro you have said it all]

HELP AM CRAZY ABOUT SEX!!

The thought about sex has eaten me up.
I have tried to help myself, but the more i try the more I have this irresistible feelings about sex. I have prayed, fasted, and even gone for counseling - but it seems I'm losing control. Some times I even think am possessed by a demon. Oh somebody should help me before I go mad - I continued to ask for help and nobody could help me. I found out that I had been busy talking to the wrong people. I don't have the courage to talk to my parents. Even if I do, I don't think they would help, since they were not exposed to sex education like we are today.

Sex, sex, sex, I kept thinking what had gone into my head. I couldn't remove my eyes from from women, even the ugliest. This was was the secret part of my life that I didn't want anybody to know how long would I hide this secret? It was killing me. Now what about having sex? Doing it to satisfy this urge of mine that burns like fire in my body. The feeling of sex is stronger than any other feeling on earth. It's the feeling that can make or mar anyone.

On May 17th 2001, I made up my mind to have sex to kill this feeling that kept me restless and unfocused in life. I approached a lady I had been eyeing and she responded like she had been waiting for me to say it. In the midst of all this feeling, I thought I was "born again", but what was wrong with me?

On that unforgettable night of encounter, I had bought a condom and made every available arrangements to quench this fire burning in me.
On my way to the arranged point of meeting, I heard a voice that said to me "sex is not for the single". I turned and looked but I saw no one, and the voice kept sounding in my heart until I turned around with tears and ran back to the house and cried to the Lord for mercy. He had mercy on me and has removed that thought from me till date. The lord said to me, "anything you can't wait for, you will never value, enjoy or celebrate". Those words changed every aspect of my life and destiny.

Sex is not meant for you now. Wait for your time to have great sex with your partner in marriage. Sex should not be accepted for what you feel and think. The thought of sex is normal, but many times people approach it wrongly. The sex you wait for today you will enjoy it tomorrow. Sex is part of life and the sexual life is meant for those who are ready for such life. Singles, don't go for sex now go vision and life.

May God help us all.[color=#990000][/color]

LETTER FROM GOD TO WOMEN!

Dear Daughter,
I have sent you too man's house to be a blessing to him and help him achieve his goals I gave him.
He's not like you at all. He's a bully, quite insensitive m you'd be surprised he might not even realize you've come to help. So, to help your task and protect you from being on the receiving end of his imperfections, here are some vital instructions.

1. Don't try to fix him, If he ever develops any fault. I'm his manufacturer and you need to talk to me about him. You're his wife, and not his God. I don't particularly like it when you think you can change him and you attempt to take my place.


2. Well am your God too, but your husband is my deputy in your life. To get the best of him, you need to respect him like you do to me. Get more information on this from your grandmother Sarah. 
3. You will realize that he fumbles in many things. I know you're smart but resist the urge to get in front of him and take charge of things except he tells you to.

4. Dear Daughter, always know that he is a man of God but he's still a man. Remember; a hungry man is an angry man whether the hungry is of food or sex. Don't you ever play politics with him on those issues.

5. He likes competing and winning, that's why he's crazy about sports. But there's an area he doesn't mind you being- better character! So take advantage, be a better lover, more humble, more patient, more virtuous.

6. He loves attractive help mates, quite more than is good for him as you get into helping him, don't forget to stay attractive as much as possible. Know it's a tough task but I know you can do it; You're are a woman after all. If you keep your eyes on the goal of being a blessing to him, sooner than later he will come to adore you. Meanwhile, keep in touch with me in prayers. If you ever needed my help you will certainly need it for this assignment.

Yours father
Jehovah.

“Even Satan wasn’t gay” –
President Mugabe Allegedly
Says Following the legalization of
gay marriage across America
by the Supreme Court last
week, Zimbabwean president
Robert Mugabe, who is known
for his extreme anti-gay views has been making headlines.
Earlier this week, it was a
marriage proposal to president
Obama and yesterday, he
allegedly said what you see
below during another interview; “Even satan wasn’t Gay, he
chose to approach naked Eve
instead of naked Adam.” –
President, Mugabe on homo
sexuality. Who knew Mugabe had such an
hilarious side? He speaks the
truth in the most funny ways
ever. Reports have it that US
President Barack Obama will
be touring the African Union
(AU) headquarters in Ethiopia
during his visit to Africa but
will likely not meet the AU chairperson, Zimbabwean
President Robert Mugabe.
Mugabe is also the current
chairperson of the Southern
African Development
Community (SADC). Obama, who is set to visit
Kenya and Ethiopia later this
month, is scheduled to tour the
AU headquarters and meet the
bloc’s secretariat. According to News Day,
Zimbabwe’s foreign affairs
secretary Joey Bimha
confirmed that government
had not “received any
indication” from Obama that he would want to meet Mugabe
during his visit. US Congressman Gregory
Simpkins, who is currently in
Harare, was reportedly not
clear on the issue and only said
he did not think Obama would
avoid the veteran leader. The US embassy in Harare said
it was also not aware of any
planned meeting between the
two leaders. Relations between the US and
Zimbabwe have remained
frosty for years over allegations
of human rights abuses levelled
against Mugabe and his ruling
Zanu-PF party. Now with these alleged statements from
Mugabe, we also don’t know if
he will meet with Obama later
this month.“Even Satan wasn’t gay” –
