As you pay tithes (10% of your salary or what ever) also remember the sabbath day to keep it holy!!; and each time a sin is committed by you buy a fat ram ,take it to the church, slaugther it and use its blood to appease God for forgiveness. why should you observe one and neglect the others??

@trini_girl
Thanx for all your effort to let them know the truth. Most christians want to still live under the law while we are in an era of grace through Christ Jesus. My own questions has been:

If you must pay 10% of your income to the church as tithes why won't you keep the remaining commandments of God like:
1. Keeping the sabbath day holy
2. slaugthering of animals for the atonement of sins
3. Abstain from eating certain meat like pork etc. because they are unclean

Why should you keep one of God's commandments and fail to observe the others?? If you accept to live under the law then keep all God's commandments in the old testament and if you cannot keep all live a live of grace through Christ Jesus, where you don't need to keep any day as sabbath, no slaugthering of animals for the atonement of sins and no animal created by God is seen as unclean. just to mention a few of the old testament laws.

@twinstaiye
Go and sit down and let people hear word; Yoruba man. is OBJ your uncle?? How am i sure you no resemble OBJ for face because you resemble am for character no be small. you better keep sentiments aside and say the truth, OBJ is corrupt short and simple. No be only you be yoruba man here for your information.

Ishmeal, I guess u ar not a christian and u don't know what i am talking about ,
so i think it is better for you to keep quiet than to speak condemnation unto yourself.
Christians in the house can reason with me.
thanks

May shango fire you for saying that i'm not a christian. How do you know who a christian is?? I became a christian even before you; you hear?? nonsense. Ok i'm a juju worshipper!!

belloti:
you guys are just exposing your religious and ethnic sentiments while trying to preach against it. Now that we may definitely have a muslim president why don't we look at other qualities?. My point is always the man that can help us out of this predicaments. someone that can truly fight corruption. i think buhari can guarantee that.

you are correct. Buhari is Nigeria's messiah. anything PDP is an extension of OBJ irrespective of who that person is. thank God Buhari is in ANPP; if he were to be in PDP i would have been doubting his integrity. Yar'adua should not be trusted by anybody. He has not finish taking care of his home state, katsina, na Nigeria e wan come take care of?? make we hear word jo.

the bible says in Malachi 3:10 that we should bring all tithes into the house of God.
I don't see any reason giving the needy in place of tithe payment.
First of all pay tithe and also reserve for the needy too if you feel like giving to the needy, but God's own should be first.

Does God spend money?? STOP decieving yourself that you are giving money to God; you give your money to your Pastor (Man Of God).

Afam:
MKO and Tofa contested the 1993 elections, both were muslims and the South East voted for either of the 2, so does your analysis make sense here?

did they ever announce the results of that election?? probably because they were both muslims that was why IBB annulled the election results. Thanx to IBB. MKO was instrumental in rigging the election that saw Shagari from no where as Nigeria's president against Pa Awo; na God catch MKO.

Afam:
We do not need people that will divide Nigeria across religous lines.

and who has told you that Nigeria is not divided across religious lines?? Are you in Nigeria at all?? An average christian will obviously vote for a christian whether he is told to do so or not; an average muslim will definitely give his vote and support to his fellow muslim brother; it's not a new thing in Nigeria politics so stop blaming Buhari.

I started with QBASIC, i then move to FORTRAN, PASCAL and later COBOL. All these were programming languages i had to do in school because they were in my course curriculum. I later moved on to learn C and C++ then finally settled for Visual BASIC. Planning to start programming in JAVA.

It's not a problem; in catholic churches it is allowed.

if so HND holders should be employed too to teach in the universities as graduate assistants.

Are you saying if a HND quantity surveying (minimum of Lower credit) wants to do Msc he has to still go thru PGD?? Then what is the equality of HND and Bsc all about?? If a Bsc holder can go straight for Msc then the HND holder (with atleast Lower credit) should be allowed to do Msc without passing thru PGD; except if HND and Bsc are not equivalent.

Why can’t HND holders be employed to teach in universities like Bsc holders if the two are said to be equivalent??

That means there is still discrimination against holders of HND certificates.

@HND-holder

Since HND has been given the same status as a university Degree, would people with HND who want to go for Masters go for Masters direct?? Or would they still be asked to do a PGD??

Before now, holders of HND certificates were employed as Instructors while Degree holders were employed as Asst. Lectures to teach in the polytechnics; Would there be a correction (as in HND holders being employed as Asst. Lecturers) to teach in the polytechnics??

Would HND holders (without a PGD or MSc) be employed to teach in the university now??

Yes, o i support it. Nigerians hate that name HND and discriminate against holders of such certificates even when it is obvious that it is equivalent to a university Degree. polytechnics will be awarding ND and BTech Degrees now but they are limited to only Science and Technology related courses only. It's a welcome development since we all believe it will solve the problem of discrimination against HND holders. And mind you holders of HND certificate are to enjoy the same previledges with holders of university Degrees. HND has been formally and officially made to be equivalent to a Degree in Nigerai now.

I dont think LASPOTECH would be an affiliate of City University yaba, it's a state polytechnic while Yaba Tech is a federal school. LASPOTECH would probably have to be an affiliate of Lagos State University, but they will awarding BTech Degrees in only Science and Technology related courses.

@shahan
i was only trying to point out to you that the real hausa-fulanis are predominantly muslims, only a few of them ( less than 5%) are christians. Most northern christians in the north are not hausa-fulani, they come from minority tribes in the north and i think they are even more in number than the real hausa-fulani people. I'm not trying to ridicule you. Cheers!!

@shahan
I still put it to you that only very few hausa-fulanis (less than 5%) are christians. You are making the mistake of calling all northerners hausa-fulani thats your problem; i'm correcting you so don't argue. Who and who do you even know are hausa-fulanis sef?? I have told you before that all hausa-fulanis are northerners, but not all northerners are hausa-fulani. I live in the north and i'm telling you the truth of the issue. We have many northern christians but they are not hausa-fulani please!! Do you call Birom and Lantang people in plateau state hausas?? Do you call the Jukuns in Taraba state hausas?? Do you call the Nupes in Niger state hausas?? Do you call the Gwaris in kaduna and Niger state hausas?? Do you call the kataf and kafanchan people in southern kaduna hausas?? Do you call the zurus in kebbi state hausas?? Do you call the marghi people in Borno/Adamawa state hausas?? Hausas are from the core northern states like Kano state, Jigawa state, Yobe state, Zamfara state, sokoto state, zaria in the northern part of kaduna state and etc. and they have less than 5% indigenes that are christians. Find out for yourself if you care.

McKren:
For you info, Buhari will not win any free and fair election in Nigeria. He is bad news to the electorate. No one likes him

Stop generalizing. If you don't like him some of us Love him, and i think those of us behind Buhari are majority, so he's winning the presidential election.

yes o, the unsettled case[b] Bsc Vs HND [/b] has been settled.

yes we know them, some of them have been converted back to islam for fear of being killed.

yes o, HND certificate is legitimately equivalent to a Degree now. any HND certificate obtained from any polytechnic in nigeria after 2008 is a Dead HND. For those presently having HND certificate, your certificate is equivalent to Bsc and BTech certificates.

Are you doubting it that PDP will not rigg the elections?? Did OBJ get more votes than Buhari in 2003 elections?? Did PDP not rigg 2003 election against ANPP?? PDP's trademark is[b] Rigging[/b].

shahan:
I believe abdkabir
I was somewhat surprised to find that there were many Hausas and Fulanis who were Christians.

Not true. Only very few hausas and fulanis are christians; they are not even up to 5%. please differentiate between hausas, fulanis and northerners in general. While all hausas and fulanis are northerners, not all northerners are hausas or fulanis.

Thank God HND is equivalent to Bsc. Chikena!!

nigeria1:
Please explain mr ishmael , to me and the world, do people live on the street only in kano and why, this may give you a noble prize, ?

No, people don't live on the streets in kano, but in Lagos people live under flyovers and bridges.

go round and check again. Make sure all the computers have the same workgroup name. probably the computer you are using has administrators previledges while the others have users previledges, so it will be possible for you to see other workstations from that system but you cannot see the system from another workstation. i'm not saying that is the problem o, but it could be. Just try giving the other workstations admin previledges and see if it would work. I've had a similar problem before trying to connect some systems to a printer whose host had admin previledges and the other workstations had users previledges; but when i assigned the same admin previledges to the other workstations i was able to see, access and connect to the printer. Just try it and see, it may workout for you. Cheers!!!

many will weep.

Where are you guys stressing yourselves?? Buhari will definitely contest in the coming presidential elections and will obviously get more votes than any other candidate. But i attach a condition to my statement "if and only if the election is going to be free and fair". PDP can only stop him with their normal rigging.

its good news. But my question is , will HOLDERS of HND Certificate be allowed to do masters degree without going through PGD??

This man don craze o!! So satellite pictures determine population now?? Ok, we agree; what is the population of ikeja now from the satellite picture??

He was wrong to have cursed the fig tree. What did the tree do to him?? Did the tree create itself??

you people should not allow them to take away yabatech and kadpoly from NBTE; and HND should be regarded as the same level with Bsc. Polytechnics should be empowered to run MSc and MTech programs.
