Alwaysachick:
Hello,

Pls how did you evaluate your masters via WEs. What's the process?

from what i understand it depends on your masters, and the country you got the masters from. masters from different countries have different process. maybe you can try checking on the wes website.

studycenter:
Get a reference letter from your PPA (this will include your job title, description and the amount paid to you by FGN), use the statement of account from the allowance paid to you by FGN. You're good this way.

If you're going to use your NYSC experience as your primary NOC, you're going to indicate in your reference letter that the first month was paid in cash. The statement of account will only show 11months payments. If you were not paid in cash after your orientation course, you can forget this.

Thanks for the reply, i truly appreciate.

I wont be using my nysc as my primary noc, so does that mean i dont need to indicate anymore in the reference letter about the first month paid in cash? or i can still do it anyways?

Goodday my good people, please i will like make an enquiry with regards using of my nysc 1 year experience to make up my total experience to be over 3 years. i already have 2 years and 2 months of work experience in my current work, but inorder to increase my crs score abit, i added my nysc experience of 1 year when filling my expres entry profile.

i have tried my best to search through the mountain of conversations here, for discussions with regards to using of nysc experience, but some are as old as 2019, some 2018, and i dont know if anything have changed since them, because i have some friends telling me that its not posible anymore to use nysc as work experience, while some others say its possible. so please is there anyone that has RECENTLY and SUCCESSFULLY added nysc experience as part of his/her work experience, and had no issues with it? i was hoping that person or anybody with recent experience on this can help enlighten me and some other people here with thesame dilema on how to go about it. even the smallest details matter and will be appreciated.

For my specific situation im still trying to get in contact with anyone from the local government secretariat i served in 2018, to see if i can get a reference letter in cic format. and also i wasnt paid by the local governement secretariat, but i can still get my statement of account to show the nysc payment of N19800 as at then.

thanks

There is nothing wrong with asking the
heavenly saints to pray for us.
Many Protestants argue that asking the saints
to pray for us is “unbiblical,” while throwing
around verses like 1 Timothy 2:5 . But they are
incorrect.
1 Timothy 2:5 — the infamous “one mediator
between God and men” verse — refers to
salvation, not prayer. The verse reminds us
that it is only because of the graces found
through Christ (God Himself) that we are able
to have any real relationship with God and
reach Heaven. It does not, however, absolutely
negate relations with angels or heavenly
saints. After all, it was an angel (Gabriel) that
spoke to Mary before Christ was conceived in
her body, not God Himself.
I was raised in several Protestant
denominations. They all placed a major
emphasis on Christians praying for each other
— which is encouraged in 1 Timothy 2:1-4 and
other passages. I would contend that a
heavenly saint, one who is holy and in Heaven
with God, would have a lot more sway with
God than a rebellious sinner on earth would.
To put that another way, if someone asked you
to do something for them, would you not be
more likely to help them if they were your best
friend, as opposed to a complete stranger? Of
course, you may very well be willing to do
something for a complete stranger, but you
would probably be more willing to do
something for your best friend.
And there is evidence in the Bible of the saints
praying to God.
“Another angel came and stood at the
altar, holding a golden censer; and much
incense was given to him, so that he
might add it to the prayers of all the
saints on the golden altar which was
before the throne. And the smoke of the
incense, with the prayers of the saints,
went up before God out of the angel’s
hand.” – Revelation 8:3-4
The word for “saints” in that passage comes
from the Greek word hagios . Thayer’s New
Testament Greek-English Lexicon says that
the best definition of hagios is “most holy
thing, a saint”. This would seem to undermine
the Protestant assertion that “saints” in this
context can only refer to people on earth.
Now, what would the saints be praying for?
Themselves? Doubtful. They are in Heaven, so
they do not need anything, as eternal life with
God is perfect. That really only leaves one
option: they are praying for us. And because
they are praying for us anyway, how could it be
wrong to ask them to pray for us about
something specific? It is like interacting with a
DJ at an event. He’s playing music anyway, so
what is the harm in asking him to play your
favorite song?
Here’s my Scripture-based defense of the
practice that should answer most Protestant
objections:
Matthew 17:3-4 & Luke 9:28-31.
Moses and Elijah (who are clearly
heavenly saints, not “saints” in the way
Paul would sometimes use the word) are
with Christ during the Transfiguration.
Revelation 6:9-11.
The martyrs can talk to God.
From those three passages, we can
gather that the saints in Heaven interact
with God.
Luke 15:10.
The angels and saints (who, in Luke
20:35-36 , Christ says are equal to the
angels) are aware of earthly events.
1 Timothy 2:1 & James 5:16.
It is good for Christians to pray for one
another.
Now, if the saints interact with God and
are aware of earthly events (and can
therefore hear us), why wouldn’t they
pray for us, considering that it is good for
Christians (which the angels and saints
definitely are) to pray for one another?
Revelation 21:27.
Nothing imperfect will enter into Heaven.
Psalm 66:18 & James 5:16.
God ignores the prayers of the wicked,
and the prayers of the righteous are
effective.
Because the saints have reached
perfection (they are in Heaven), their
prayers are more effective than the
prayers of those that are less righteous,
so that’s why one might ask them to pray
instead of asking another Christian on
earth or simply doing it themselves.

fijiano202: To catholies what gives u guarranty that Mary is in Heaven? Do catholies have List of People in Heaven? did Bible they you how she lived the rest of her life after the death of Jesus? Are u sure she didnt re-marry? give me a verse that told you how she died? or a Verse that told you shes From a great lineage? Catholies didnt write the bible you just compiled the books u saw,and thats not All,there are still lots of Books that arent it the bible.God said do not add or Remove my World,how are we Sure Pope gregory didnt Remove somethings from the bible? there are lots of questions to ask that u can never answer.@try69 even if they open ur brain and place a bible there,u can never learn,i wonder what you understand abt the bible.

if den no remove some u tink say bible go dey portable as u dey see am?

Catholic Church is in possession of all d scrolls written so y argue when we tell u pple sometin e.g there are also stories of Joachim n Ann (parents of Mary) but they aren't included in d bible . and many other stories .

Fundamentalists often challenge the Catholic
practice of asking saints and angels to pray on
our behalf. But the Bible directs us to invoke
those in heaven and ask them to pray with us.
Thus, in Psalm 103 we pray, "Bless the Lord, O
you his angels, you mighty ones who do his
word, hearkening to the voice of his word! Bless
the Lord, all his hosts, his ministers that do his
will!" (Ps. 103:20–21). And in the opening
verses of Psalms 148 we pray, "Praise the
Lord! Praise the Lord from the heavens, praise
him in the heights! Praise him, all his angels,
praise him, all his host!"
Not only do those in heaven pray with us, they
also pray for us. In the book of Revelation,
John sees that "the twenty-four elders [the
leaders of the people of God in heaven] fell
down before the Lamb, each holding a harp,
and with golden bowls full of incense, which are
the prayers of the saints" (Rev. 5:. Thus the
saints in heaven offer to God the prayers of the
saints on earth.
Angels do the same thing: "[An] angel came
and stood at the altar [in heaven] with a golden
censer; and he was given much incense to
mingle with the prayers of all the saints upon
the golden altar before the throne; and the
smoke of the incense rose with the prayers of
the saints from the hand of the angel before
God" (Rev. 8:3–4).
Jesus himself warned us not to offend small
children, because their guardian angels have
guaranteed intercessory access to the Father:
"See that you do not despise one of these little
ones; for I tell you that in heaven their angels
always see the face of my Father who is in
heaven" (Matt. 18:10).
Because he is the only God-man and the
Mediator of the New Covenant, Jesus is the
only mediator between man and God (1 Tim.
2:5), but this in no way means we cannot or
should not ask our fellow Christians to pray
with us and for us (1 Tim. 2:1–4). In particular,
we should ask the intercession of those
Christians in heaven, who have already had
their sanctification completed, for "[t]he prayer
of a righteous man has great power in its
effects" (Jas. 5:16).

When the Jewish general
Judas Macabeus leads the
resistance against the
Greek occupation of their
country, he tells his
soldiers about “a dream, a
kind of vision, worthy of
belief” (2 Mc 15:11)In this
vision, the general saw
Onias, a former high
priest who has died,
“praying with outstretched
arms for the whole Jewish
community” (15:12). Then
he saw “God’s prophet
Jeremiah, who loves his
brethren and fervently
prays for his people and
their holy city” (15:14). In
part through the assistance
of these two Old
Testament saints, the
Jewish fighters win their
battle.
The angel Raphael tells
the couple Tobit and
Sarah: “When you…
prayed, it was I who
presented and read the
record of your prayer
before the glory of the
Lord” (Tb 12:12). Then
the angel reveals that God
sent him to heal them in
answer to their prayer
(see 12:14).
The New Testament
displays similar scenes.
Jesus’ parable of Lazarus
the beggar (see Lk
16:19-31) assumes that the
deceased man is aware of
those still living, is
concerned with them, and
wants to pray for them. In
St. John’s revelation, the
Christian martyrs in
heaven know what is
happening on earth, and
they pray to God to
accomplish justice there.
In addition, both the saints
and the angels in heaven
bring to God’s throne “the
prayers of the holy
ones” (see Rv 6:6-11;
5:6-8; 8:3-4).
In such passages, we find
the saints and angels
mediating before God for
believers on earth, either
interceding or otherwise
assisting them. (In the
parable, even someone in
hell is attempting to do so,
if unsuccessfully.) Does
this contradict St. Paul’s
statement that “there is
one mediator between
God and the human race,
Christ Jesus” (1 Tm 2:5)?
No, because the apostle
wasn’t excluding the
participation of others in
Christ’s mediating role.
In fact, whenever
Christians pray for one
another, whether in
heaven or on earth, they
are doing just that. In a
similar way, Jesus is the
“chief” Shepherd of his
flock (see Jn 10:11-16; 1 Pt
5:4), yet he assigns lesser
shepherds to take part in
this ministry (see Jn
21:15-17, Eph 4:11).
Catholics ask the saints
and angels for their help,
then, for the same reason
they ask Christians on
earth to pray for them and
assist them in other ways:
It has pleased God to make
us interdependent as
members of Christ’s Body
(see 1 Cor 12:12-27)

chincent: Exodus 20 vs 4 to 5,
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that in the water under the earth.
Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God,...........
This part of Ten commandment is not in Catholic ten commandment that we are thought, why was it omitted? Why will someone be praying and you knee down in front of statue which is an image and you think God is happy with you? I Am GOING TO OPEN THREAD ON THIS ISSUEM
Can any Legionary member in Catholic church that is in this forum tell me what they do on a special occasion they call LEGiON PROMISE?

am a legionary n d legion promise is a promise we make to d holy spirit (not to Mary) to help us in our struggle to bring salvation ( the good news of Jesus ) to d world under the umbrella of our mother Mary

dozai: Now u have lied, ill prove you wrong. I know where u will quote from, but u are wrong[b].Mark 6:3[/b] " Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him.” and Matthew 13:55 “Is not this the carpenter’s son? Is not his mother called Mary? And his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?” The scripture is for all to be read. Pray that the Holy Spirit leads you to the places where the truth will be revealed to you.
In the original Greek the words used are adelphoi (“brethren”) and adelphe(“sisters”). The words adelphoi and adelphe can refer to actual siblings. However,the Bible also uses these words to describe people who are not brothers, but cousins or relatives or step brothers or close neighbors.
Going further..... The scripture described Abraham as Lots brother but in actual LOT was the nephew. Gen. 11:27 “Now these are the generations of Terah: Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran; andHaran begat LOT.”

Now let me hit the mace on the head. During the crucifixion, There were three women at the foot of the Cross: 1) the Blessed Virgin Mary (the mother of Jesus); 2) Mary the wife of Cleophas (who is said to be the Blessed Virgin Mary’s sister); and 3) Mary Magdalene.
John 19:25 “Now there stood by the cross of Jesus [1] his mother, and [2] his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and [3] Mary Magdalene.”
Mary, the wife of Cleophas, is also described as “the other Mary” in Matthew 28:1. The Bible tells us that James and Joses are the children of this Mary:
Matthew 27:56 “Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of Zebedees children.”
Thus, James and Joses (who are called the “brothers” of Jesus) are not His siblings, but at least His cousins. However, they are probably not even first cousins. This is because Mary of Cleophas (the mother of James and Joses), who is said to be the “sister” of Jesus’ mother (John 19:25), is also named Mary. It’s extremely unlikely that two siblings in a Hebrew family would be given the same name. Most likely they were not sisters, but members of the same clan who were called “sisters” in the same way that James, Joses, Simon [/b]and [b]Judas were called “brothers” of Jesus. All of this shows that none of the statements in the Bible about the brothers and sisters of Jesus disproves, in any way, the perpetual virginity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Now we must look at the proof that Mary had no other children and that she was perpetually a virgin.

JOHN 19:26 PROVES THAT MARY HAD NO CHILDREN BESIDES JESUS
While dying on the Cross, Jesus entrusts His mother to the care of St. John the Apostle.
John 19:26-27 “When Jesus therefore had seen his mother and the disciple standing whom he loved, he saith to his mother: Woman, behold thy son. After that, he saith to the disciple: Behold thy mother. And from that hour, the disciple [John] took her to his own.”

Sorry for taking much of your time. But let the right spirit lead you.

menhh av reali learn a lot from dis post ,thnx jare

Ground zero: Dear Pastor,let's stop talking with full ignorance and talk academics here with facts. The catholic church is over 300years older than the bible we all read today. The catholic church gave the world the book that is called the bible. It was at the last council of Cathage held in 418AD presided over St.Augustine that Pope Gregory signed these compilations of books into law and from thence henceforth,it became a Christain archive.

When Martin Luther King,the father of Penticostalism,a German,that formed The Lutherian Church,felt the holy spirit was upon him,he altered some versions and books in the complete bible. He argued mathematically(stupidly) that the Glory of God had departed from Israel as of the time he calculated with his miniature brains the books of Meccabees,Tobith etc was written. He sited the birth of Eckabod in the bible,that means the Glory of God had departed from Israel. The scripture said of God,My spirit shall Never depart from you,o Israel until the end of time. To cut this long story short,When Martin Luther King wanted to die,while on his dying bed,he made a remark that was in record ..OH,MY GOD,FORGIVE ME FOR I HAVE MISLEAD MANY. These were men that twisted the word of the scripture to suite their life styles. They omitted the Purgatory aspect of the Bible and many other things. That is why when people especially some of these uninformed pastors and their ardent followers say things like The Catholics don't read the bible,I wonder their level of ignorance. Or when they say THESE ONE IS A CATHOLIC BILBLE. I laugh at such wave of ignorance. Both the bible your pastors use in the church and the one you put under your pillow are Catholic product. It was St.Jerome of the Catholic extraction that compiled the bible from Genesis unto Revelation and Guthenberg,the German Printer,printed the bible in his factory,a Catholic. So,I wonder,who is the greatest and who understands the bible better? The builder or the house built?

Many good number of these Protestant church's doesn't even know the origin of these things they read and call bible. It took the Mother church over 300years to compile,edit,proof read,harness,omit and suggest before we signed into law and today you can boost that St.Paul said this and Timothy and Revelation said these and that without even knowing who took sleepless nights to bring these together.

Finally,Jesus Christ is God. For the sake of clarity,God is not a Name. It's an office these Supreme beings occupy. That's the English word that many of us don't understand. When you say THE PRESIDENCY SAID....It's either Ruben Abati,Pius Anyim,Arch Namadi Sambo etc. that's the office they occupy.The Presidency. The God persons are enclaved in the word.. THE BLESSED TRINITY. THREE IN ONE GOD. A mystery that is beyond your comprehension. For instance,a man begets a man. A lion begets a lion. My names is not a man. My Dad begot me. My Dad is a man and begot me,a man. My own name is Nonso. God begets a God. His name is Jesus. The personality they assume is called God just as the personality we assume is called humans. Ok now,more clearly put,am an Igbo man. The word,God, in my dialect spells CHINEKE. It means The CREATOR. Did Jesus not creat together with God the Father? He did...let's creat man in our image after our own likeness. The scripture all said of Christ THERE WAS NOTHING CREATED THAT WAS NOT CREATED THROUGH HIM. If through him all things were created,then he is a creator in it's entirety and hence,CHINEKE comes to pre-intimacy. I don't know your local names you call God. You can go through it and see.

So,the word God,doesnt mean a name. It's just an office they occupy and Christ and the holy Spirit occupy these office. However,there are three distinctive aspect to their personalities. God the Father is the greatest. God the Son(Jesus) is co-eternal with the Father,co-Majesty with the Father but not Co-equal with the Father. That's the simple analogy. That's why we call the former,Father and the later,Son. It means you can Majestically worship Christ because He is God..Co-Majesty. They are co-eternal because Christ will live forever as God...Co-eternal but they are not Co-equal because one is Father and the other Son.

I rest my case.

try69: Why do you people always look for a portion of bible, twist it, and expect catholics to accept them.. All you know is bashing catholics, and simple bible you no know


Matthew 11:11
New Living Translation (NLT)

11 “I tell you the truth, of all who have ever lived, none is greater than John the Baptist. Yet even the least person in the Kingdom of Heaven is greater than he is!

also mind your tongue

2Pet 2:10-12
.... These false teachers are bold and arrogant, and show no respect for the glorious beings above; instead, they insult them.
Even the angels, who are so much stronger and mightier than these false teachers, do not accuse them with insults in the presence of the Lord.
But these men act by instinct, like wild animals born to be captured and killed; they attack with insults anything they do not understand. They will be destroyed like wild animals.

catholics have image and statue of mary and the so called saints. I am not here to argue doctrine. This one singular act of direct disobedience negates all what the catholic church preaches.
