Issues like this is one of the reason why I love Christianity, the Word will state something in clear terms and in principle, allows you to seek the Holy Spirit guidance in the personalized and specific applications to situation. Meaning you seek His guidance at All times. However the product (work)from such actions taken will reveal your relationship with( faith)God. Those who have similar relationship will recognize your actions and give glory to God (This is irrespective of denominations). This is unlike when before u eat do this, before you fight do this , when walking od the road do this or when you want to kill do this. People will now be engrossed in pretending and exhibiting piety which is not from their inward but JUST TO SHOW.

I don't think that scripture is to be interpreted in that manner. Although if you think you want to honour God in that manner or any other way, it is left to you ( If anyone picks a day for the honour and Glory of God no problem). That teaching is not what Pastors are meant to teach it is not to even give laws but to bring people to that place in the Word (Pasture) where they can feed effectively and not to force pastures into their mouths ( Give laws).

Sometimes you'' pastes lucozade screen to give it a yellow tint, move your hands towards the tv to improve reception . Then clour bars preceeded transmission but you only ssee black, different grey shades and white. Yet we were content, imaginative and happy.

What about table soccer, Tree top , Bazzooka Joe, and rolling tires with 2 sticks, goint to nearby stream to swim, TELEMATCH, Ikoto or koso,and anything analogue. Such are wonderful meaningful days when weexplore our childlikeness and discover our enviroment, and exhibited mutual respect for each other irrespective of what how well you "know book " or what you have or wear but what you bring to the Fun table.

Thank you OP informative and educating. For the guy that questioned distance let him try this, make a 20cm by 20cm square with a thread, then make different convoluted shapes within the same square with another thread. When he's done , he should remove the 2 threads and measure their distances. He'll discover that the thread that was used to make convolutions within the known border( square) is longer. MeaningNigeria may be about 1200km from Lagos to the end somewhere in Gasua or Portiskum but the road network is Nigeria is well over 140000 yes 140,000Km. The Benin moat may really be that long. Believe in yourself "Blackman know yourself, don't forget your past" Femi Kuti.

MAke me remember Ghanian's attitude whenn it comes to football matches between Nigeria and them, they are ready to die because they feel there's something to prove to a country that is not looking at them,bigger , richer, better, stronger, ore influncial with proven track record and have more far more to offer. However, when it comes to some other smaller countries, those ones will beat them silly.

hotwax: Leave them. Those hausas know how to flog Ibo and Ibos cry like babies. But when they see anything Yoruba, they start flexing their muscles. Boko-haram na their oga

Just realized you are not in Lag, Please don't reply thanks

Do you have a good dash board with complete swithches knobs and ac vents for 190 and how much will that be ? I'm trying to renew my old car. Thanks

pankere: Why do you always deny the obvious? If the bombings are not orchestrated by the coer north then by who? Is it southerners over there that are bombing the themselves and the north? We all know those bombs are targeting JTF and southerners and govt/western interests and occasional northern figures who speak out against them.when has boko haram blown up a mosque on a muslim festival like they blow churches on xtian holidays? And u tell me they are blind to religion or ethnicity? Ask yourself this and answer honestly: IF BUHARI OR RIBADU HAD WON THE ELECTION WOULD THERE BE CRISIS IN THE NORTH NOW

In the real sense of it YES there would have still be crisis. The issue as I see it is more of some guys wanting to sart a new order thy don't recognise any government individual or groups of individuals that is not sharing their idealogy. They just don't care. They've using the general Islamic sensibilities to creep into the north and aveage northern Muslim, thus th ease they slither into the societal fabric. The whole thing started years back in a subtle way really unnoticeable by the leadership of the North that at the moment it is difficult to excise them from the polity. They have become integrated totally into the north and ind=eed the country. The are mostly pre independent non- Nigerians who does not care about Nigeria, you I Jonathan , Obasanjo, Buhari, Ribadu, Ojukwu, Ekweremadu, Obi, Timpreye , Osas, Federal Government, Christian , Muslims or anything but their agenda, though skewed towards Islam but not really Islam and their poison if not addressed is drawing closer to places we are not thinking it'll sooner get to. Their destruction s knows no TRIBE.

If this appointment is to appease tribal sentiments or sensibilities then it is rather unfortunate but if otherwise but based on merit ,track record and other non parochial reasons then congratulations to the new DG. I've said it before, Yorubas should stop whinning over representations in the Federal Government wait for the right time besides like before concentrate on self ( Yoruba) and personal development and stop behaving like those who'll stop at nothing debasing to get crumbs or left overs from FGN. Abi is it now better to postrate for maalu in order to eat beef?( No insult intended on any person or the Government o).

@ Hugemac, your first comment was really uncalled for, Evry human being is going to be judged by what is given to him/her be you Catholic, Anglican, Methodist, Presbytarian, Pentecostal, Celestial, Cherubhim and Seraphim, Aladura, Gospel, Muslim , traditional religious practisioners . You may have a new convinction for God's sake this thread is not where you come and say it in such a way to insult other people's believe or sensitivities. Besides what you did like most people on NL do is rude invasion of and distraction of something opened for others to come and be happy and felicitate. Some of us rather than ask questions about what we don't know , understand or comfortable with and understand the other person ( especially religious issues) stand point and learn to avoid or live with it, we go abusing and become ballistic and behave uncultured. And before you know it, we are talking authoritatively as if we exclusively own God.

Tolerance is rarely exhibited my most of us in this generation, sometimes I really see most pf us Christians this days not different from religious fanatics and terrorists except that we are yet to carry arms.

Joined the forum 2 years back but never knew the forum shares same Birthday with moi . Well happy birthday mate, more grace to the mods and all NLders.

smartchoice: any contrary or additional opinions?

I just want to ask,what is the right thing to do if after changing the car oil and just used it for about 150km , the car was parkedfor 4 months, do you need to do an oil change before using the car,and could I still used the car for another 1800km, ( I usually do oil change for the car evry 2000km with 20W 50 oil) Thanks.

Could someone here recommend a good workshop in Lagos, not coscharis dem o( a be civil servant and I no dey get extras ). where I can be advised on how and what can be upgraded in my 1994 190 and do a lil hybrid job on some aspects like dash board electricals of the car to make me have a lil feel of the 2006 and above of the car. I 've not really used the car in 0ver 6 years and want to go back on it especially whenevr i'm in Lag. I'm not a fan of changing cars,I prefer to maintain, repair renovate and upgrade. Please I need the advice and contacts Thanks.

crackhaus: 0, 7, 5, 35, 70 or as freecocoa said, 105..really doesn't matter. Question is why do you care about the number of dots Op? Na your job interview trick question?

I'm thinking the OP is making a opthamological or medical survey/ research.

there are no dot. Any dot seen is a result of falling into the trap of an optical illusions or as the eyeballs are not always stationary especially in people suffering from vertical nystagmus and in the process of their continuous movements, the black shades in the squares diffuses into the path of the adjacent white dots thereby making them appear as blinking black dots.

Watched the interview yesterday and was very livid adn disappointed at the level of arrogance the guy displayed when other questions ewere asked. The guy even replied "good". When asked about something related to the people being scammed purportedly by members of his organization as if it is their fault and there's no need for empathy to the plight of the victims. He is really a shame to the organization and what is called an officer just like the command PRO of Lagos Police command.

It is high time some of these paramilitary or security agencies stop behaving tough like the military. They are supposed to be closer to the populace and thus needs to have a more understanding, humane and civil posture closer. The guy was just out ther yesterday on channels disgracing and humiliating his organization thinking he was actually showinhg loyalty to his bosses and the Comptroller general of the NSCDC .

Femi Anikulapo Kuti said in his song. Blackman know yourself, don't forget your past. Lately I've not been reading but this topic is reviving my thoughts and my appetite for more useful things rather than giving credence to some cultures under the guise of religioj=n , as if my great ancestors don't know and indeed worship God. May He ( God) bless those who has contributed meaningfully to this thread.

It is well known by the Ijebus that prior to their last migration from a place called "WADAI" ( still present in Sudan) to the present place ( capital at Ijebu Ode), they were initially native to northern Ethiopia and initial migration was as a result of Islamic Jihad movement which exiled many people. During the course of the migration, they were drawn and indeed followed the path of an existing personality who as well migrated from same goegraphical area due to the movement ( Jihad) and settled beyond deep i to the rain forest. Indeed the area was said to be regarded as the Yar-ba country.
I've heard of something called the " Ife Scriptures" could any one here confirm it's existence and what is the content? I heard it is of Armaic origin. Probably one of the coppies of the old scrolls pre- Bible as presently compiled and pre- Islamic.

Happy birthday to THE MAN and may he continue to be in health wealth and relevance.

Nwa oguta: Happy birthday to chimpanze

Umgh! I wonder if the man was not presiding over the affairs of your country, make and implement laws and indeed rule policies for your country, your state, LGA, community, family, father , mother , Grannys and Greats ( if the still exists) your wife girlfriend sisters brothers sisters and relatives and all You liked respected , worship , look up to, and wanted and still want to be( I hope you'll achieve 100th of his achievemenst , status and influence in and beyond your lifetime). If he could be the ruler over all the above mentioned , then what does him being a chimp as you called him makes you?

This is such a sorry issue, I had a relative in Canada who nearly lost the her three kids to the adoption system , because the mother left the youngest who was a year old then in the room sleeping to go and pick the olde ones from school about 3 streets away. Unfortunately the baby woke up before she could come back and a neighbour called the Social services. Thank God for His mercies. The system up there is good but it should've have started with an option of a relative or a close friend to apply for the adoption and the parents should not be prevented from seeing the children in some special circumstances that could be determined by social psychologists and other professionals. its so sorry these people had to go through this but one thing comes to my attention regarding this religion thing. That is, no one was born to have a religion, we are either indoctrinated convinced, forced or hoodwinked (to name but a few possibilities) into any religion we practice and this means that there 's actually nothing like "I WAS BORN A CHRISTIAN, MUSLIM, PAGAN( I DON"T BELIEVE THERE ARE PAGAN THE TERM TO ME IS DEROGATORY ESPECIALLY IN AFRICAN CONTEXT) BUDHIST OR ATHEIST ETC, we become as we were born and WE ARE ONLY BORN AS HUMAN MAN . Thus why do we think we should all tow the same line of faith and believes. It is not by force to become and remain and it is not worth to vent venom on anything that does not conform with our beliefs but worth all the while to vent on anything that reduces, harm, denigrate our HUMANITY under any guise of any religion. Everybody has the right and responsibility to uphold and defend the right to dignity, integrity and LIVING of other human being. I think this is the Spirit behind the Scriptures as opposed to the letters. Peace.

The post 08 and 12 elections analysis in the US shows that the revelation of the 21st century in the US "Barak Obama" was favoured mainly by people in the demo-graph, in fact his party made sure the people in this range were massively mobilized and the rest is history. Come to think of it, when majority of the leadership of PDP were in their thirties the majority of the APC leaders were in their early teens or twenties meaning that this Baba ( EX CON sorry but can't help from saying that) was not saying anything new. Only that he's living in the past thinking he and his like still hold sway but not realising that those teenagers are now fully grown while you are wilting and will only remain relevant if you keep mute, observe, and talk when your wisdom is sought for. Agbalagba ki n bere kilo sele sugbon a duro de eba wa dasii.

He's having fun likewise making his living not hurting and stealing from any those hurling insults at him but doing what he knows to do best ( being a visual and audio artist).

Seriously, I've been so stunned at the response of some people who claimed being Christians here accusing and raining abuses on the poor man!. I wonder if they are really different from the Muslims they are quick to claim are violent. Millions of Jokes had been made concerning Jesus and highly provocative films had been made but these Christians but nothing happened because those in anyway does not reduce Him in any infinitesimal measure. So why the dust on El- Rufai's tweet ? Besides, I don't see what is so new that he said that other Christians and even Christians clerics had not said. YOU CANNOT FIGHT FOR GOD OR PROVOKE HIM TO JUDGEMENT< HE KNOWS ALL, AND HE'S NOT EMOTIONALLY CARRIED AWAY LIKE US.

Some idiots are talking nonsense here had the Emir died, do they know the immediate implication on the lives of non-natives,Christians and Muslims alike, churches, schools businesses and most importantly the lives several thousands of lives for that matter that will have been on target iin Kano and environs. RaTHER THAN THANK God for his mercies, they are here spewing nonsense as if the life a human being , The Emir and his aides is not precious before God. Some people gien the opportunity are in the real sense not different from the members of BH judging from their reactions and posts on this forum

Arysexy: Parkinson disease may be waiting for her, to stress her nerves at such age no be beans, she should watch it!

Parkinson's disease, the cause is though inexplicable but is unrelated to good exercise. This in a lees rigorous manner should be encouraged. imaging jogging 4-5miles 3 times a weeek at that age and still have time to go to gym. meaning that she'll be enjoying her money and paying lil of it to Pharmacies and Hospitals. This is highly commendable and inspirational.

Judging from the actions of people who hold important strategic positions in this country to some cynical comments on NL when issues that will matters bothering on National pride being bruised, I become disappointed and sad that Nigerians will rise and write about it but rather tend to be happy at the decisions of CAF or FIFA. Are Nigerian referees that bad that even one cannot be invited not as an assistant ? While lesser countries have good inclusion. Yet we will not lay it on the doorsteps of the authority involved. Why do we so loathe even hard working Nigerians. An example was gievn of at least a refereee that is qualified to make the list and we still come here to type unpatriotic comments. Really, Shame on us all.

Some people will at any existing small opportunity will not hesitate to let express to us how either they weren't trained to be cultured and classy or refused to be cultured and classy as everything of importance,lofty and dignifying will just be ridiculed by their shallowness.
