Baptism.

i believe you have drawn up an outline?

so that the discussion has a direction.

i.e History; purpose; benefits; etc?

This has got to be the neatest tokunbo i have ever seen in my life!!!!!!!!!!!!!![b][/b]

@OP

WHat do you expect the church to have done? Spy his account or monitor him? the man told them he was earning legitimately. i'm not a CE member but this is not the fault of the church (at least the part of recieving the money)

lol @ CC.

Poster, How much do you think any woman is worth? a few hundred thousand?

a 9 year old car has traveled only 50000 kilometers?

Seems Everybody just took AKara and Pap those days

So what's the TOPIC? for the Topic thread?

i had hoped MILAN BARCA would be the final.

in any case, it does seem like some people are bent on seeing a classico final

topic: HELL

Seriously

Akure, Ilorin....nice quiet towns with business prospects. i'd have mentioned jos and kd but then u know

I believed the polls were to decide for us.
For me, Topical studies HERE will be different from the ones we have been having
[b]1. THIS ONE IS A BIBLE STUDY, MOST OF THE TOPICS BROUGHT ON NL AREN'T EVEN FOR THE PURPOSE OF DISCUSSION; MANY TIMES IT'S TO DISAGREE AND DEBATE, HERE, WE ALL UNDERSTAND THE PURPOSE OF THE DISCUSSION, THERE WILL BE LESS DISAGREEMENTS AND MORE CORRECT REFERENCING FROM VARIOUS PORTIONS OF SCRIPTURE.

2. WITH TOPICAL STUDIES HERE, THERE IS LESS CHANCE OF THREAD DERAILING BECAUSE ALL THAT WILL BE POSTED WILL REVOLVE AROUND THE TOPIC

3. BOOK/CHAPTER STUDIES, I BELIEVE, ARE LIKELY TO DRAW LESS PARTICIPATION. I'VE BEEN ON NL FOR LIKE 6 YEARS NOW AND I'VE NOTICED THAT ONCE A POST IS LONG, INTEREST IN THE POST/THREAD WANES. POSTING A WHOLE CHAPTER MEANS SOME PEOPLE MAY NOT BE INTERESTED IN READING THROUGH ESPECIALLY WITH THE CHANGES GOING ON ON THE WEBSITE

4.I PERSONALLY THINK TOPICAL STUDIES ARE MORE PRACTICAL. E.G IF YOU TAKE A STUDY ON (UN)FORGIVENESS, WE'LL FIND OUT THE HEALTH, SPIRITUAL, PSYCHOLOGICAL IMPACT OF IT; HOW TO STOP IT (IN VERY PRACTICAL TERMS), AND EXPERIENCES/TESTIMONIES OF FOLKS HERE AND HOW GOD HAS HELPED THEM. A CHAPTER HOWEVER MAY CONTAIN A THOUSAND LESSONS WHICH ARE NOT LIKELY TO BE EXHAUSTED WITHIN THE POSSIBLE TIME FRAME THAT WILL BE SET FOR STUDYING IT (I DON'T EXPECT US TO STUDY A CHAPTER FOR 6 MONTHS ) AND IF THEY AREN'T EXHAUSTED, WE WOULDN'T HAVE REALLY STUDIED

SO PLEASE RECONSIDER, THIS THREAD, I TRUST, PROMISES TO BE A PLACE OF DELIVERANCE AND ENLIGHTENMENT FOR PEOPLE AND WE MUST OFFER IT IN THE MOST EXCELLENT MANNER POSSIBLE[/b]

OKay. SO you support, for example the application of Sharia in the NOrthern states, which broadly applies to everyone irrespective of their faith, (or lack of it)?
Do you also note that that application is sponsored by public funds?

Why is the penal code of a nation not enough? and if it is inadequate, can't they be amended to be adequate?

WHy should the state prosecute/punish offences against God?

And, why should a single country or state have a more than one code?

I'm surprised at the Christian percentage.

what i wanted us to discuss particularly for regular guys here is the properness of combining RELIGION (not morals) and STATE.

@OP, Pls Don't kill the TJ character...like in general romance movies of the day...allow him be a good boy and let the story flow (like "without a silver spoon"


i admire the concept

well, i don't really like it per se but i found out you can get used to the outlook if you zoomed in more from your browser. it's on 125% on my browser now and i think it's more manageable so i'd suggest the Designer makes the font bigger.

Good Idea.
However, i think we should discuss TOPICs that come up in our daily lives e.g Giving, Fellowship, FOrgiveness. That way, we can reference scripture and have a more practical discussion otherwise, the thread will just look like a place for Spiro people.

The controversy stirred by Dr. Junaid Mohammed on possible break up of Nigeria is yet to die down. Leaders of Kogi and Kwara, two Middle Belt states the Second Republic legislator threatened to drag along with the North have reacted. Group Political Editor BOLADE OMONIJO, EMMANUEL OLADESU and ADEKUNLE JIMOH present their angry responses:

THE political and social elite of Kogi and Kwara states are angry that a section of the North is threatening to hold them as bargain in the event that Nigeria disintegrates. Perhaps taking a cue from Karl Meier’s contention that “this house has fallen” and the foreign prediction that the country can only last a few years given the current sociological pressure, Junaid Mohammed told a Sunday newspaper that the North was not afraid of a break up. He, however, added that this would only be allowed if Kogi and Kwara states were ceded to the North.

But, furious at the sheer thought, David Jemibewon, a retired Major General, fired three questions in one minute: “On whose mandate is he talking? Whose interest is he representing? Who authorised him?”

Jemibewon, a founding member and leader of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) hails from Kogi State. He found it insulting that Mohammed could conceivably be speaking for the people of Kogi and Kwara states.

The former military governor of the defunct Western State who reacted on the phone, said Mohammed lacked the mandate of his people in Kogi to speak on such a sensitive issue.

He added: “If it’s his personal view, which I cannot query, there is no problem. But if he claims to be speaking on behalf of the North, who gave him the mandate?

“I don’t think he represents my interest until he gets my mandate. If he has been authorised, I don’t have the right to query him. But who authorised him?”

Jemibewon was too angry to continue with the interview. But Rotimi Obadofin, another Kogi politician would not want to contemplate such a development. He said Mohammed was wallowing in self-deception and self-delusion, pointing out that the two states would not go with the North, if there is a break-up.

He said: “If the country should disintegrate at the end of the day, which is most likely, Kwara and Kogi are returning to the West, and this is not negotiable. It is inconceivable that Yoruba of Kwara and Kogi will be part of the North. The boundary is clear. We are Yoruba. There is no boundary between Yoruba of Kogi and Kwara. The contiguity is there.

“We have the same culture, language and environment. We till the same land and drink water from the same source. We have the same blood. So, on the contrary, our location is far apart from Hausa/Fulaniland; thousands of miles apart. We don’t speak the same language. We don’t have the same culture. We don’t share the same boundary. In fact, we have absolutely nothing in common. It is easier to integrate Europeans with the Hausa/Fulani than to integrate Kwara and Kogi with them.”

The deputy governorship candidate of Action Congress of Nigeria in the state, Hon. Henry Ojuola, would not speak for the whole state. He said: “I am a Yoruba man from Kogi West. I got the mandate to represent my people in the House of Assembly, so I know what my people want. I know their interests, culture, political culture, behaviour and aspiration. I do not pray that Nigeria breaks and I don’t think that any patriot should work for the disintegration of his country.

“However, should we get to that point, certainly my people in the five local government areas in Kogi West will go with our kith and kin in the West. We share the same language and culture and would feel more comfortable with them. Junaid Mohammed cannot speak for us. Who is he to decide for our people? How can he from Kano do that?”

On the other two senatorial districts of the state, Ojuola said he was not in position to speak for them. His words: “I cannot speak for the Ebira and Igala. But, I know that we share a lot with the Ebira. Remember that we share affinity in old Kwara State. We understand one another.”

There were indications yesterday that leaders of various groups in the state who felt stung by the Junaid Mohammed interview held a meeting during the week to consider how to officially react to the statement. While some of the leaders dismissed it as a non-issue and the opinion of one man, others said he could be speaking for an entrenched Northern interest group and should, therefore, elicit appropriate responses.

A former House of Representatives member from Ebiraland said, “Junaid should not be dignified with response. I have followed his outbursts since the Second Republic and he derives pleasure in avoidable and unnecessary controversy. I will not want to speak on the issue. I am an Ebira from Kogi State. Beyond that, I am a Nigerian. That’s all. No more. I do not know if there is a North today. The only one that I know died many years ago.” He, however, refused to be identified.

Kwara people are no less outraged. Justice Mustapha Akanbi, a retired President of the Court of Appeal, who hails from Ilorin, would not contemplate the break-up of Nigeria. He described whoever is thinking of Nigeria’s disintegration as an enemy of the people and the African continent.

“Those talking about the division of Nigeria are pessimists and enemies of the country”, said the pioneer Chairman of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC),

Justice Akanbi told The Nation that, “speaking for myself, I don’t want the break-up of the country. I want a united country. I have struggled for pan-Africanism all my life. I have struggled all my life talking of one great Nigeria which all African countries can look up to as a role model. Although we have not been able to give them that satisfaction, I will, till the end of my life, struggle for a united Nigeria.

“I can’t contemplate a situation where Nigeria will be divided into pieces. It is forward ever, backward never. I think those who talk about dividing Nigeria are pessimists. I am an optimist.

Referring to his orientation early in life, Justice Akanbi, who was introduced to pan-Africanism as an admirer of the late Dr. Kwame Nkrumah in Ghana, said: “Now getting to about 80 years, how can I start talking about the division of Nigeria? I hope it does not happen during my time and I pray that it does not happen in the time of my own children. Throughout my stay in Nigeria, I have seen any Nigerian as a Nigerian, as I have seen him as an African and that is my basic philosophy and that of my family. I daily pray for the greatness of Nigeria and Africa. When Europeans are having the European Union and other countries are united, how can we be talking about Nigeria in small pieces? Once you start that, you are running into deep waters and I hope the whirlwind will not consume us.

“So the question of whether Kwara, Kogi or any of the states will belong to one area, as far as I am concerned, is a non-issue. As a matter of fact, I prefer to be known as Akanbi, the pan-Africanist.”

The Kwara State governorship candidate of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) in last year’s poll, Alhaji Mohammed Dele Belgore (SAN), was optimistic that Nigeria would not be balkanised.

In Belgore’s words: “We don’t think that Nigeria will break up; we certainly hope it will not break up. Our strength as a nation lies in the different peoples working together for a common purpose of development and economic empowerment.

“Poverty and unemployment do not discriminate between north and south. These are ills that are common to both and these are matters that should call for our attention. Rather than talk about break- up, we should not be talking about Nigeria breaking up. instead we should be talking about building a strong and virile nation.”

The possibility of disintegration of Nigeria has come up in debates in recent times, following communal disputes in different parts of the country, the Niger Delta struggle, the campaign for a Sovereign State of Biafra in the South East and the devastating strikes by Boko Haram nihilists in the North.

There are now more strident calls for sovereign national conference, greater autonomy to the federating units and need for regional control of resources as was the case in the First Republic.

This has reportedly and understandably led to unease in the North that believes that it could be at the receiving end if the centre is weakened, leading to the recent call by chairman of the Northern States Governors Forum for a revisit to the derivation formula designed to pacify and placate a devastated Niger Delta.

Gal 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

Gal 5:16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh-_{This is a commandment, not an advice}

Can you define Masturbation without the redded words or it's meaning?

@Joagbaje,
To draw that Jesus "definitely" sold some stuff from the quoted scripture isn't accurate.

i get your point, we can infer that at some point, it is possible they sold some of their possessions/gifts they recieved to meet other needs in which case is still different from the selling that happens these days.

nice formula (not totally correct but close) but the thing is you already give your shoe size, your year of birth and the current year, it doesn't seem like rocket science

I DON'T THINK THE SYSTEM HAS A RESTORE POINT. FROM THE MANUFACTURERS.
THEN I RAN A VIRUS REMOVAL TOOL (KASPERSKY) BUT NOW IT DOESN'T GO BEYOND THE WELCOME SCREEN, AFTER THAT THE SCREEN IS JUST BLANK EXCEPT FOR THE MOUSE CURSOR. CTRL+ALT+DEL WORKS BUT THAT'S HOW FAR IT GOES. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME PLEASE. 'PRECIATE IT!

okay. Ronke, you need to read your notes

for the second question, i think sauer is calculating based on an incorrect premise. i think o

it's not simply 30 of 500 shoppers. 500 shoppers isnt what you need to use; it's the number of people that even enter the shop at all. which is 35% of the shoppers per morning.
lemme not continue.i'm beginning to get a totally different answer

omega25red:
try starting your computer in safe mode to see if things work in safe mode.

THANKS FOR YOUR RESPONSE.
SAFE MODE IS LOADING BUT I CAN'T TURN ON SYSTEM RESTORE/ THERE IS NO "SYSTEM PROTECTION" ON THE LEFT PANE OF THE SYSTEM

I BELIEVE IT WAS EXACTLY FOR THIS REASON THAT SHE WAS RELEASED TO SERVE NIGERIA, WITH CONTINUED SALARY, SO THAT SHE WON'T BE WORLD BANK PRESIDENT

armyofone:
i'm so bookmarking this page Ronkebp.
lol and your ''so copying & pasting'' made me laugh bad bad
how are your courses going, i remember you doing MBA right?
i'm doing same 

Knight, thank you for helping. I will contact you with mine too, but hopefully i can solve mine

loool, any body copying and pasting knight1's answer on statistics is purely on his/her own o!!!!

Cos i seem to remember having an "E" and "B" in the courses those days of engineering

Mathematically speaking, , even tho i'm no (longer a) math guru, Answer to the first question is 87.5%.
Analysis :500 people (total shoppers) enter the mall per Saturday morning; and your shop draws 15% any given day therefore you'd have 15% of 500= 75 people.
Now 35% of those 75 people will make a purchase of 10 bucks or more hence which gives 26.5 people making the payment.

Now 26.5/30 (required) = 87.5%

But i'm no longer sure that's how probability is even calculated. it has tey
