1. OBJ dealt with Militancy while GEJ is still confused on what to do with BH

2. OBJ IS A LEADER, FIRM AND STRAIGHT FORWARD IN MAKING DECISIONS, WHILE Gej appears to be very confuse.

3. OBJ GSM, GEJ NOTHING

In as much as OBJ is a thief, I would still prefer OBJ to GEJ by far

Super1759: [b]this man doesn't know what he is saying. What does it take a graduate to teach and impact knowledge to the younger ones.
I bet you,corpers are more versatile academically than the so called trained teachers.
He can only say,they should be under supervision and given courses related to their course. When I served, I taught 3 subjects- maths,physics and computer in the school. The maths teacher, gave up in teaching when he heard a corper is around,I handled the classes because I know what am doing...even the students prefered corpers teaching them than the old teachers.
They supervised my work often( they had the best result in physics and maths that year).


Another point is most corpers are not even qualified to be called graduate, so when they enter class, what will they teach?
(I remember the corper lady teaching biology will just copy textbook on the board for them and ask them to read it up,any confusion you meet her for explanation) Nysc won't ask corpers how they graduated and how many years they stayed,they just post. I think the main thing is taking note the capability of the corpers and supervising their work[/b]

mastery of the subject matter is just one aspect of the quality of a good teacher. you may have mastered a particular subject matter, but stating a flawed behavioral(expected change in learners), or where they are properly stated, the proper evaluation technique to be employed, to measure if behavioral objectives have been achieved. it is only a person properly trained in education that can be able to achieve this in line with the national policy on education set by the government.

tunji2003: dont't mind those useless old teachers who rely on old teaching methods majority of them can't use the internet for research and some of them still use old textbooks like abott to teach physics

what do you know about education? its not so much about the teaching method or teaching aid, a lot has to do with the curriculum. the curriculum needs to be reviewed and upgraded regularly by the government. the curriculum informs what will be imparted on the students and the teaching aid and method to be employed.

Question: "What is the
origin of the Catholic
Church?"
Answer: The Roman Catholic
Church contends that its
origin is the death,
resurrection, and ascension
of Jesus Christ in
approximately A.D. 30. The
Catholic Church proclaims
itself to be the church that
Jesus Christ died for, the
church that was established
and built by the apostles. Is
that the true origin of the
Catholic Church? On the
contrary. Even a cursory
reading of the New
Testament will reveal that the
Catholic Church does not
have its origin in the
teachings of Jesus or His
apostles. In the New
Testament, there is no
mention of the papacy,
worship/adoration of Mary
(or the immaculate
conception of Mary, the
perpetual virginity of Mary,
the assumption of Mary, or
Mary as co-redemptrix and
mediatrix), petitioning saints
in heaven for their prayers,
apostolic succession, the
ordinances of the church
functioning as sacraments,
infant baptism, confession of
sin to a priest, purgatory,
indulgences, or the equal
authority of church tradition
and Scripture. So, if the
origin of the Catholic Church
is not in the teachings of
Jesus and His apostles, as
recorded in the New
Testament, what is the true
origin of the Catholic Church?
For the first 280 years of
Christian history, Christianity
was banned by the Roman
Empire, and Christians were
terribly persecuted. This
changed after the
“conversion” of the Roman
Emperor Constantine.
Constantine “legalized”
Christianity with the Edict of
Milan in A.D. 313. Later, in
A.D. 325, Constantine called
the Council of Nicea in an
attempt to unify Christianity.
Constantine envisioned
Christianity as a religion that
could unite the Roman
Empire, which at that time
was beginning to fragment
and divide. While this may
have seemed to be a positive
development for the
Christian church, the results
were anything but positive.
Just as Constantine refused
to fully embrace the Christian
faith, but continued many of
his pagan beliefs and
practices, so the Christian
church that Constantine
promoted was a mixture of
true Christianity and Roman
paganism.
Constantine found that with
the Roman Empire being so
vast, expansive, and diverse,
not everyone would agree to
forsake his or her religious
beliefs to embrace
Christianity. So, Constantine
allowed, and even promoted,
the “Christianization” of
pagan beliefs. Completely
pagan and utterly unbiblical
beliefs were given new
“Christian” identities. Some
clear examples of this are as
follows:
(1) The Cult of Isis, an
Egyptian mother-goddess
religion, was absorbed into
Christianity by replacing Isis
with Mary. Many of the titles
that were used for Isis, such
as “Queen of Heaven,”
“Mother of God,” and
theotokos (“God-bearer”)
were attached to Mary. Mary
was given an exalted role in
the Christian faith, far
beyond what the Bible
ascribes to her, in order to
attract Isis worshippers to a
faith they would not
otherwise embrace. Many
temples to Isis were, in fact,
converted into temples
dedicated to Mary. The first
clear hints of Catholic
Mariology occur in the
writings of Origen, who lived
in Alexandria, Egypt, which
happened to be the focal
point of Isis worship.
(2) Mithraism was a religion
in the Roman Empire in the
1st through 5th centuries
A.D. It was very popular
among the Romans,
especially among Roman
soldiers, and was possibly
the religion of several Roman
emperors. While Mithraism
was never given “official”
status in the Roman Empire,
it was the de facto official
religion until Constantine and
succeeding Roman emperors
replaced Mithraism with
Christianity. One of the key
features of Mithraism was a
sacrificial meal, which
involved eating the flesh and
drinking the blood of a bull.
Mithras, the god of
Mithraism, was “present” in
the flesh and blood of the
bull, and when consumed,
granted salvation to those
who partook of the sacrificial
meal (this is known as
theophagy, the eating of
one’s god). Mithraism also
had seven “sacraments,”
making the similarities
between Mithraism and
Roman Catholicism too many
to ignore. Constantine and
his successors found an easy
substitute for the sacrificial
meal of Mithraism in the
concept of the Lord’s
Supper/Christian
communion. Sadly, some
early Christians had already
begun to attach mysticism to
the Lord’s Supper, rejecting
the biblical concept of a
simple and worshipful
remembrance of Christ’s
death and shed blood. The
Romanization of the Lord’s
Supper made the transition
to a sacrificial consumption
of Jesus Christ, now known
as the Catholic Mass/
Eucharist, complete.
(3) Most Roman emperors
(and citizens) were
henotheists. A henotheist is
one who believes in the
existence of many gods, but
focuses primarily on one
particular god or considers
one particular god supreme
over the other gods. For
example, the Roman god
Jupiter was supreme over
the Roman pantheon of
gods. Roman sailors were
often worshippers of
Neptune, the god of the
oceans. When the Catholic
Church absorbed Roman
paganism, it simply replaced
the pantheon of gods with
the saints. Just as the Roman
pantheon of gods had a god
of love, a god of peace, a god
of war, a god of strength, a
god of wisdom, etc., so the
Catholic Church has a saint
who is “in charge” over each
of these, and many other
categories. Just as many
Roman cities had a god
specific to the city, so the
Catholic Church provided
“patron saints” for the cities.
(4) The supremacy of the
Roman bishop (the papacy)
was created with the support
of the Roman emperors.
With the city of Rome being
the center of government for
the Roman Empire, and with
the Roman emperors living in
Rome, the city of Rome rose
to prominence in all facets of
life. Constantine and his
successors gave their
support to the bishop of
Rome as the supreme ruler
of the church. Of course, it is
best for the unity of the
Roman Empire that the
government and state
religion be centered in the
same location. While most
other bishops (and
Christians) resisted the idea
of the Roman bishop being
supreme, the Roman bishop
eventually rose to
supremacy, due to the power
and influence of the Roman
emperors. When the Roman
Empire collapsed, the popes
took on the title that had
previously belonged to the
Roman emperors –
Pontificus Maximus.
Many more examples could
be given. These four should
suffice in demonstrating the
true origin of the Catholic
Church. Of course the
Roman Catholic Church
denies the pagan origin of its
beliefs and practices. The
Catholic Church disguises its
pagan beliefs under layers of
complicated theology. The
Catholic Church excuses and
denies its pagan origin
beneath the mask of “church
tradition.” Recognizing that
many of its beliefs and
practices are utterly foreign
to Scripture, the Catholic
Church is forced to deny the
authority and sufficiency of
Scripture.
The origin of the Catholic
Church is the tragic
compromise of Christianity
with the pagan religions that
surrounded it. Instead of
proclaiming the gospel and
converting the pagans, the
Catholic Church
“Christianized” the pagan
religions, and “paganized”
Christianity. By blurring the
differences and erasing the
distinctions, yes, the Catholic
Church made itself attractive
to the people of the Roman
Empire. One result was the
Catholic Church becoming
the supreme religion in the
“Roman world” for centuries.
However, another result was
the most dominant form of
Christianity apostatizing from
the true gospel of Jesus
Christ and the true
proclamation of God’s Word.
Second Timothy 4:3-4
declares, “For the time will
come when men will not put
up with sound doctrine.
Instead, to suit their own
desires, they will gather
around them a great number
of teachers to say what their
itching ears want to hear.
They will turn their ears away
from the truth and turn aside
to myths.”

ojdollars: Fashola... May your Generation rip 10X of the good work you are doing in Lagos... Let me use your phrase... Eko Oni Baje oooh.

@All Nairalanders who curse and insult Fashola... I want to believe that there is no Nigerian in Diaspora among those clicks... I live in Texas, City of Irving in Dallas County. I can boldly say that, the difference between Lagos and Texas... Is not so much.. Because, in Texas.. Most of the High Ways has Tolls. The difference is that, the officials in charge which is refer to as the City don't stop you to pay daily as you go through the Tolls. What they do, is refer to as advance Toll fee collection. The camera's on the Toll whatever takes snaps your number plate and the Bill will be sent to your house.. Whatever address that Car title is registered in. What Fashola is doing, makes me proud to say that I am a Nigerian once again. This man has Vision, he is a world leader. I am a Waffarian.. from the City Of Warri, Delta State. But each time I fly into Lagos, I feel more relaxed than else where. Americans were able to develop their country because everyone is paying their fair share... Some people who ply those Tolls on the Highway to work, pay as much as $75usd - $150usd Monthly for their Toll fee's = 12,000 Naira - 23,000 Naira. Just recently, I drove pass the Highway, forgot there was Toll there, cause me I nor still like the toll fees with brain... They sent me ticket of about 6 dollars or 4 dollars.. I ignored it and within two weeks or three weeks later. They fined me for not paying the less than 6 dollars toll fee.

Please Support Fashola, the man has good intention, but the process of change sometimes, has a lot of inconviences... Is not doing all this for himself, is doing it to better the life of Lagosians... Is not easy to be way more a million times outstanding from A Commander In Chief of the Federal Republic of Nigeria... Fashola is the best Gov... Travel outside Nigeria and see how things are done before you rain curse on a Gov like Fashola. I am not Yoruba... I am a Deltan and don't live in Lagos.. But the truth be say, good thing na good thing... wether you talk bad or good about am ooh, he nor go change the status of the good. One Love my fellow country men and women in the House.

Tioluwa: The reasons why a lot of youth run away from Deeper Life Bible Church are as follows;

1.If you happen to have Deeper life as your family church,and your parents happens to be the type that imposes decision or rules on you as such, they don't allow you get the conviction as a person why you shouldn't do certain things as stated by the church, a little escape you get from the grip of your parent either by going to school or elsewhere and you begin to mingle with other youth,you will want to live the church immediately.

2.Most Deeper Life youth are not sociable as such,they don't mingling with other youths and this can be trace to lack of self confidence on the part of some of them and this does not encourage other youths t

3.They also fail to put into congnisance the perculiar,unique and natural nature of every youth for example, the craving for opposite sex attraction, adolescent trait and character, personality make up and identity, peer group pressure, social status, biological formation, quest for independence and juveline delinquency all this and many more are the factors affecting growth and development depending on how well handled.

For a youth to enjoy an environment like the church, the church needs to understand this perculiar traits of the youth and make room for them to be helped to manage this factor positively. When once the church gets to the realisation of this basic fact, it will be very easy for any youth to belong to the church.In summary, deeper life youths are being indoctrinated and this repels them.

Notwithstanding all this, the good Deeperlife has done to some of the youth who overlook all these are far more greater than the harm because,human relation can be learnt and builded through reading and exposure while all this other areas can be worked upon as one comes to realises these flaws.

Finally, I am glad I was brought up in this DeeperLife and it has contributed immersely to what I am today and I will ever live to be greatful to God for that .

INDOCTRINATION? serving GOD is not like a buffet whereby you select the one you want and shun those that does not appeal to you. when GOD gives rules, he does not expect us to negotiate with him. he expects total compliance and obedience. Remember GOD is not a wicked GOD to give us rules that will kill us. it is only Satan that tempts us and makes us believe or think that GOD's rules are hard to keep or boring. He makes you believe that bending these rules to suit your own tastes is not sin. Though it may not be sin but it is unrighteous not to obey GOD's instructions according to how he stipulates them, and you know he says every unrighteousness is sin. no negotiation or compromise about that one. and sin leads to death and hell

frosbel: Some practises I became familar with during my time with deeper life.

1. Tithe or you are under a curse
2. You must consult you pastor before you marry
3. No wedding rings
4. The church doctrines are 100% bible doctrines and cannot be challenged, to do so means you are an apostate
5. The church doctrines are infallible and are backed by the infallible leadership.
6. They are above the rest when it comes to holiness
7. False rapture theories
8. Second chance at salvation during the great tribulation
9. They control your dressing
10. The church takes over your life , no time for family
11. Individuality is compromised
12. Challenge one doctrine and you are out
13. Trinity
15. Ability to think out of the box is stifled.


You can add many more here.
