From an aspiring Bible Scholar: How to tell a fake pastor from a real one

Mathew 7:16
Ye shall know them by their fruits: Do men gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles:

1: They have one mantra and one only (Judge not, that ye be not judged. or Touch not my Anointed) conveniently excluding the remainder of the verses that gives the phrase complete meaning (that way they can associate themselves directly with God saying that you challenge God because you challenge them when they obviously err in scripture, spiritually or morally)
2: They have very little knowledge of the book of Revelations and the prophecy of the End of Days and they hardly preach Salvation+Growth in Christian Faith, rather they preach instant deliverance from Sin and Hell by "His Grace" (Which is not infinite like "His Mercies" which endureth forever). Essentially you can be a sinner turned born-again in an instant and receive the full benefits thereof without any work forgetting that God says, You shall surely reap what you have sown. and that Faith without Works is dead. They are Faith-Pastors and have no works to show for their faith.
3: They are surrounded by worldly things which they claim are blessings from God and above all else (especially above your VISA to heaven) the fruits of this world are your reward, forgetting that God says store up goods in heaven where they are safe from rot
4: They have a weakness for the sins for the flesh and lust for women of easy virtue (prostitutes)
5: They serve mammon (Money) and not God. WHen God says 1 tenth of your harvests, they say 100% if you really want God to bless you

If you ban Ogogoro, you must ban Indian Hemp, Cocaine, Gum, Garri, Smokes and Agboo (local herbs mixed with gin)

Citizens can easily lay their hands on these illicit drugs when Ogogoro is out of sight and can become dependent on them.

What the governor should be doing is reducing the tax on breweries in the state to allow for easy access to Gulder, Stout, Star, Harp and Schnapps.

You think this is bad, we are in December, just wait till it is 2 days to christmas and 2 days after the celebration, there would be tons of people locked up and killed in Lagos.

Some who tried celebrating New year got locked up, they actually slept in a cell into 2009

These guys know their reputation and the "badder" they are, the more money in their pockets

i laugh at my own self-inflicted ignorance and hope it has not infected you all.
Ibori is the main reason why the FG wants Ribadu killed at all cost. The same IBORI of ASCOT and NOTORE (previously NAFCON) we all seem to be distracted inot trading intelligence with the Federal Government when the real motive behind it is hidden from us al

Well is this not routine for the EFCC and the Police Force. I remember i was charged for Traffic "infraction" when I was in heavy traffic and did not move into Apapa Canal because a police van was behind me. that cost me N5k bail money (yes i visited the cell)

When the wheels of corruption are moving, they are well greased, the air is properly gauged and there is enough fuel for the journey, one way or another they will rope Ribadu into this country to answer for alleged crimes that our public officials, governors and sitting (and acting VP) still commit recklessly.

Brings to mind what FELA (of blessed memory) sang
Misappropriation, Maladministration, Nepotism, Mitigation, Make I remember another one wey them dey use, Defraudment, Forgerylization,
Embezzlement, Vilification, Mismanagement, Public inquiry

Man!. that is about 98% of my vocabulary wiped out

Why won't you guys leave Yaradua alone, the man is in desperate need to redeem himself and at least complete one item from his Zero-Point Agenda

abeg delete, i freaked out for 10 minutes when i culd not log on to facebook and it was not just me. two friends in canada and 1 in england as well.

you could imagine the thought of going cold-turkey abruptly.

thank God for NL, how else could i supplement my supply of narcotics.

it is back up

the movie studios faile dwith VHS so they went to Video CDs, that failed too, then they went to secure DVDs (Ooops failed too) now they are trying to stick it to the internet (p2p etc) and guess what, it has failed to, so the next port of call is threatening the ISPs to disconnect users,

The same problem Kennis Music had with pyrates and guess what they did, (Since piracy sells) they became pirates too and mixed with their originals and fakes to become multi-millionaires.

Movie producers should simply setup a p2p network and start sharing old movies no one will buy and make piracy loss lots of money. if you canno tbeat them, join them that is what i say

The same Bible that make strong references and parallels to Greek Mythologies Hades and The Great Flood 3000 years later ?

I am in search of a DVI-VGA Adapter or is it Converter.

Please I need it urgently, where in Lagos can i procure this item

Thanks

Allah Be Praised

He is finally rid off Nigeria and her insanely ignorant citizens.

do you mean the GrandFather Clock of the 80s.

It is in the store somewhere i seriously doubt it works but we have never used it since 1989.

It makes a horrible bong bong bong sound every hour.

Why do you want it.

banom is just a broke ass nigguh, that is what we all do when we find ourselves either too broke or extremely wealthy (We start to believe there is some dude out there who will save us from our financial mess)

ever thought about this, the guy could be in a coma and not really care what is happening in the real world. after all he is not the first president or public official to have a debilitating disease while in office and it is not as if he has some exotic disease that only powerful dibias can pronounce without incurring the curse of the gods.

He is dead (clinically, not that it makes a difference to his political status-quo)

Since when have you known West/East/Southern  African Presidents to Resign due to ill-health or insanity?  

Infact throughout Africa's history how many presidents have resign because they were unfit (physically,mentally and spiritually) to run the office of the President. abeg leave news, the guy will either be ousted through another Military Coup (make i hear u say e no fit happen again) or simply die like his predecessors  

we all shouted words like

impossible, that guy is a retard, what did he do in Katsina, he is too old, he has a rubber kidney and all sorts, yet he became the President of Nigeria before our very eyes and we ate our words like all Nigerians always do.

Turai for President and I will drink a swig of Lager to that, hope to become her campaign manager

QUESTIONS
1: Why should the nation mount in fear because our appointed [/b]president is [b]recovering from a medical check-up
2: At this stage of our Nation-hood we have doubts on the competence [/b]and [b]legality [/b]of the Vice-President (and the Constitution)
3: A bit of a dead-horse that will never rise from continuous beating, but is it that expensive to have medical facilities and doctors the likes in Saudi Arabia. are we treating an ailment resulting from frequent Alien Abduction probes!?
4: I hear a motion was recently denied to have the House and Senate organize a prayer session for Umaru Musa Yar- Adua, maybe we should do that for OBJ whose sanity is in doubt.

FACTS
1: Yar, Adua does not need a 2nd Term to achieve the Millennium development goals, if we disagree on this then you agree that every new regime must scrap the policies and plans of the past and [b]re-enact a "new" one (which is what we do anyway).
2: 7-point Agenda is just 40k Megawatts short of success on point 1
3: It is only logical to assume that he may not be officially dead (as pronounced by a medical official) but he is surely incapable of speech/movement or thought. it is therefore logical to assume that he is clinically dead (or in a coma or something similar to when he was alive)

opuro:

I tink sey d guy don peg

agabaI23:
I use torrent to download movies here and no one has blocked me.

Is it only naija downloads that the movie people monitor? Better reason please.

Do you know how utorrent works !? when you download a file using utorrent, it connects to a database that has a list of literally hundreds of users with the same file that you are requesting all from different IPs (some may not be banned). so your downloads will always come through.

It would seem that any company selling personal internet (GLO, STarcomms, MTN etc) all have the same business model, poor bandwidth for good money then they limit you to 3GB, on BT fixed line for 40 pounds per month, you get unlimited downloads at at minimum 2MBps, no download caps.

MTN is VGCComm infrastructure whose IP is blacklisted on hundreds of sites and several countries.

GLO simply manufacture spurious and suspicious entries on your bill at the end of the month. then they tell you that you are a heavy downloader.

The sperm story is just yahoo-yahoo babalawos taking prostitutes for fools. dem don catch Maga 

Your Sperm cannot be used for some Juju ritual (Confirmed) even if it is preserved in a condom. on the contrary (in Juju circles) any secretion from the glands (Spit, Piss, Sperm, Blood from period) actually degrades the potency of any juju and this is not just an African phenomena.

The only way you can be used or jujurized in the sex act is actually during the sex act, just before you orgasm. there is a release of potent spiritual energy between both parties. it is this energy that can be harnessed for ritualistic purposes.

Just remember that when dealing with prostitutes

Let us reason on the basis of logic and facts.

1: He is chronically ill (Kidney and Mentally diseased)
2: He has been on steroids and other drugs that negatively affect his current state of ill-health even worse)
3: He has been to Saudi Clinic and Germany at least 4 times between 2008 and 2009.
4: The Senate is stalling on the budget and other critical matters bordering on 2011 elections, 7-point agenda, security votes and billions for constituency projects

You think we can wait that long, if not for the simple fact that our dear Go-Slow Professor is clinically dead or worse alive but on life support. imagine a president briefing the nation from a wheel-chair and cables hanging out his sides and nostril

why do we always get un-solicited marketing blips each time a serious post comes up.

This post is politikally inkorrect!

I have had a few run-ins with Police, LASTMA and VTO, believe me. they will ask for the last receipt on the wheat bread you bought at park-n-shop or even your Tax-clearance certificate.

I made sure to get all the papers i will ever need when i bought my car last year. I got stopped at a check-point one sunday afternoon. I confidently handed over my papers (all filed neatly in a green folder). the guy looked at mean and scoffed. "Do you know that by the time I go through these papers. I will find something that can mean a CAPITAL OFFENCE?" I shivered at the thought of being tied to a pole and shot at a firing squad. i calmly asked him to please accept a token N300 to buy fanta and was off. (Lucky me)

The bastards owe me N30k in subscription on EVDO, paid each month and password never worked, but they kept on telling me to pay to that it will work once activated.

May their mast be kidnapped this year in Jesus Name. AMEN

guys, leave matter for another era. let us just keep doing the best we can and as long as we follow standards and offer value, the best will always rise to the top (eventually)

I beg to differ.  There is demand.  The problem, at least as i see it, is that clients have been blinded at the onset by the bad apples.  So now, a precedent has been set and clients expect nothing less.

What we need is a re-orientation of sorts.  We need not to be code monkeys and order takers but professionals.  In other words, if something doesn't make sense, we should stand up and say so, even if it means losing the business.

Believe me, they may not appreciate it then but they will, later[/quote]Very true. I always try to get buy-in from the client about what is useful, practical and innovative but as long as the CEO and Oga pata pata does not have your ear [/b]or is [b]not an ideas man. you are left with a dis-interested website committee or some eager-beaver employee who is shooting for a promotion using the website project as an appraisal score. and what appeals to these groups is simply one thing, EFIZZY. I hate it soo much when i have to do presentation only for some guy with whiz-bang flash animation and little innovation carry the day because his intro has a man talking about the clients products.  

The re-orientation is long over-due and i have decided to start publishing a bi-weekly one-pager addressing core web technologies (relevant and innovative and cost-saving ones) and how to leverage them at a chaotic time like the one we are experiencing.

Signed and address directly to the CEOs that matter. it sounds funny but the ones that encourage poor standards are the ones with barely 5% of web knowledge (non-knowledgeable committees and one-man webmaster staff who knows too little to understand global standards and compliance)

@yawa.

I have met some, but they are not going to write one line of code (since they have become big ogas) they will only tell you what they have in mind and why it works. How you go about getting it to work is in the hands of the omo-ishes
