CodeTemplar:Which part of my comment is falsehood? Is it? 1. That the schoolarship is funded by previous students? 2. The church is not funding it? Which? |
CodeTemplar:You clearly don’t understand what is been done here! They are taxing previous students who have graduated from the school to fund these scholarships that will go to a few. The church is not footing the bill. |
TheGuyNextDoor:O boy, if you believe that Police narrative, I have a bridge to sell to you. It is more like, the Police pushed the guy into the ditch as they were trying to stop him to collect their rogers, while he was trying to evade them. |
Elder001:Yes, the lady could be arrested too.... Section 388 of the Penal code talk about adultery by a woman, while section 387 talk about adultery by a man. But, you should know that all law enforcements are subject to the discretion of the arresting agency. If two friends are driving over the speed limit and only was arrested and prosecuted, saying that the other person should have been arrested is not a good defense and the Judge will throw that argument out, unless you want to proof that, you were unlawfully targeted, which is a very tall order, especially when it was evident that you committed the offense. |
Elder001:It is against the Penal code even in Nigeria, so you should be careful. You will be sentenced to prison if found guilty. |
Gaddafithe2nd:That is not even convincing, baby factories in the East, give women some kind of concoction to drink that bloat their stomach. A DNA test on the baby would be need to truly ascribe this to some miraculous intervention. Don’t get me wrong, I believe in miracles; the miracle have to be evident for all to see and judge. |
It is obvious she is still pained and has not moved on.... Congratulating them and leaving it at that, would have been perfect and more mature or don’t even comment at all. |
I see the pain and embarrassment, where is the joy? |
Since you don’t know what you should do, I will suggest you marry with speed! |
alBHAGDADI:The real question you didn’t answer is, what is marriage? There is nothing like church wedding in the Old or New Testament, so from Bible perspective...Church wedding does not count as marriage, rather it’s an optional step or more like going before God and thanking Him for a successful marriage. Jesus attended a wedding in Canaan, it was definitely not a religious gathering. Once you have betrothed a lady, even when you have not paid the bride price, the Bible called it marriage. You quoted verse about adultery and sleeping with another man’s wife. Those are definitely sin, but they are not within the context of this topic, as the discussion is centered around two unmarried individuals. The Bible said Joseph was betrothed to Marry, but they had not ‘done it’ yet; but they were traveling along as husband and wife, Joseph even threatened to divorce Mary, when he found out that, she was with a child and they have not ‘done it’....how can one divorce the person they are not married to? Marriage vows are exchanged during betrothal, after which the girl will remain with her Parents for months until the bride price is paid and she will then move in to stay with her husband. But marriage is said to have been contracted after the betrothal and it can only be broken by death or divorce. In the case of Mary, she was already living with Joseph, remember they were traveling to Jerusalem to be counted as family in the census...but they were not ‘doing it’ because Joseph had not paid her bride price, this very fact not withstanding, an Angel of the Lord warned Joseph and commanded him to take Mary as his wife, to which Joseph obeyed...note here that, this commandment made Joseph to skip an important step, which is paying Mary’s bride price before ‘knowing her’ as the plans was for him to pay the bride price in Jerusalem. What the Angel asked Joseph to do is in accordance with the Jewish custom, i.e. after betrothal, the couples wait until bride price is paid before ‘doing it’, but if they do it before the bride price, then bride price is due immediately and must be paid. In all these, there is no religious ceremony or church wedding, even in the New Testament, none! |
Wasky101:Na, it will reduce productivity...people will come to work solely to clock in and since they are not ready to work, they will constitute a drag on those who came to work. Plus, other will now have reason to stay away from work more than usual and give their cards to others to assist them in clocking in for agreed incentives and many others will look for some tech savvy kid to hack the system and update their attendance remotely. |
Kolping:Yes, we are affiliated with NYU, but not really in terms of using their research facilities as we have our own research labs and foundries. The NYU relationship is mainly to recruit young bright talents from NYU, internship and access to our research facilities. |
Kolping:NYU Wireless is a research facility, I work in the labs of a major telecom carrier. |
Solstar:For someone who stated... Solstar: It will be nice if this is not a VoIP based technology.We are saying different things, what you stated is not possible and my post made that very clear, it may have been above your comprehension. You clearly does not know what VoIP is, it is not a transmission medium and cannot replace a transmission medium like Air-Interface...it relies on the presence of an interface-medium to work...VoIP functions at the layer-4 of the OSI reference model, while base stations and SIMs work at layer-1 & 2....The Minna project is trying to solve a layer-1 issue and as such, a layer-4 solution no matter how you tweak it, is not going to be an alternate solution. "..In the next few years, Voice over IP will be fully integrated with messaging/chat API systems and that will totally eliminate the need for SIM system on phones...I do not expect many to imagine this yet, but the innovation will begin to surface with the launch of 5G Li-Fi" Just like your previous post, the above one is myopic and shows your limited understanding of VoIP or 5G........LTE and 5G uses VoIP and all the handsets uses SIM cards to connect to a base station.....5G will not eliminate SIM. Li-Fi does not enhance VoIP or messaging or chat API compare to Wi-Fi; these applications uses small bandwidths that you do not need Li-Fi for them to function and these applications are not in the future; we all use them today....My VoIP app integrates messaging and chat....Li-Fi uses the same radio wave as Wi-Fi except that, it is on a different spectrum aka wavelength and it is faster and not inhibited by barriers, none of these make Li-Fi more suitable for VoIP, messaging, chat APIs compare to Wi-Fi....Li-Fi is just visible radio wave spectrum and Wi-Fi is not. All in all, with 5G Li-Fi, you still need a SIM card on your phone or on your IoT device, you still need a 5G radio head on your base station i.e. you still need the last mile....We are testing many 5G POC in the NYC metro area, including close loop automation, Augmented & Virtual reality, etc using Edge Clouds installed on commodity baremetal hardware at the base stations aka node-Bs....in all these, we are still using VoIP, 5G enabled phones/UEs and 5G SIM cards. I am with one of the major Telecomms in the US...I have installed and managed ISPs in Nigeria and consulted for many Telecomms in the Nigeria as well....I agree, you know some stuff, but you are way off in some of your assumptions. |
Solstar:Lets step back a little, though this is a diversion from the initial point...You have a limited knowledge about Virtual Machines....In Cloud services, VMs are the smallest entities where you can host your applications. forget personal VMs you install on your PC...whether you are using openstack, cloudstack, opennebula, etc to orchestrate your cloud environment; after instantiating Tenants, you then instantiate VMs on which you will install your Apps e.g. VoIP Server, etc... This can be a single VM or set or VMs or on containers, which are also VMs...but containers are host agnostic and portable compare to VMs. I know these because, I have a commercial VoIP platform with integrated virtual phone aka DID linked to PSTN and can be routed to any PSTN in the world....and I also have first hand experience orchestrating commercial cloud environments from commodity baremetal hardware. My take is, you may not have understand the scope or the problem the Minna project is trying to solve...and I mentioned it in my previous posts...'It is the last mile problem'....From all you replies, your reference to VoIP has been limited to the server instance of VoIP running in some cloud somewhere.....the client instance of VoIP resides in your phone and the client have to connect to the server via some means and internet is the only means...I never mentioned that, the user will host VoIP server on their phones, but they must host the VoIP client App on their phone. In the Minna project, this client-side VoIP on your phone relies exclusively on your provider to make that connection to the VoIP server hosted in the cloud and if the connection of your provider in your particular location is poor, you are out of luck....hence the Minna project want to aggregate all available providers in your location and use the best link for that connection. This they can achieve by producing a SIM card that searches the center frequency of all available carriers in that location and use the best connection...They still have to work out HLR authentication & billing, but since NCC is pioneering this, it is possible to host a central HLR server that sync with all local telecomm HLRs. Cloud services, including cloud hosted VoIP server can be accessed from any geographical location, but the client side of VoIP on your phone need a local provider to make that connection. Therefore, you cannot use VoIP to achieve the same goal. I think what you meant with VoIP and virtual numbers is DID roaming...which I did recently while traveling to Nigeria and UK....I instantiated a virtual number and configured it such that, if you call my local US phone number you reached my MTN or 9mobile number in Nigeria and the caller does not know that, I am not in the US....when I finished what I was doing in Nigeria and entered UK, my calls started going to my UK vodafone SIM...all were done via the help of VoIP & Virtual Number....but in each case, I am depended on network and base station of my last mile provider be it MTN or 9mobile in Nigeria or Vodafone in the UK....The Minna project want to solve this last mile problem. |
Sirpaul:Why you come dey drink panadol on top of somebody else headache? Na your business matter him dey abi Linda complain give you? Take your own advice, mind only business wey concern you or matter wey dem mention your name on top. |
Solstar:Am very versatile on cloud VMs, I orchestrate commercial cloud infrastructures for a living. My question is, how would your mobile device access your cloud based app? Am surprise you said...”online does not mean internet access”...if you are talking about cloud hosted apps, you need internet access to reach them. There still need to be some type of last mile internet access and it is only your local telecomm provider that is better positioned to provide expanded internet access for mobile devices. And if you zero on a particular provider to give you that last mile internet connection to your cloud hosted apps, your connection is not diversified, which is the problem this project is trying to solve. |
Solstar:You can't achieve the same thing with VoIP....because of the last mile issue. If you don't rely on the base station as you indicated, how are you going to connect seamlessly to the cloud while you move from one location to another with your mobile device in Nigeria? Internet access for mobile devices outside of connecting via a base station does not exist in Nigeria....so this project in very unique and can't be solved in the Nigeria context with VoIP. |
EliteBiz:Which family is he a head of? The one bought and paid for by his father Inlaw or are you talking of another one? He that pays the piper calls the tune...he can never be the head of anything as long as someone else pays the bill. |
Austny0: I don't really get you man......Do not conmit adultery at all or commit it with someone you will marry?? EzeDiEgo1:Committing adultery presupposes you are married. So are you advocating polygamy, since your advice is to commit adultery with someone we are sure to marry? |
alBHAGDADI:Stop displaying your ignorance for all to see.....Roe v. Wade was a 1973 decision which grant ladies in the US rights to abortion, it predates Clinton, Hillary or Obama. BTW, Trump cannot stop it, it is a landmark decision and the Executive cannot trump a supreme court ruling. All Trump and congressional GOP are trying to do is to stop federal funding to Planned Parenthood. Planned Parenthood still get funding from many other sources and these efforts does not stop abortion in the US. A few states hoping that, since the Supreme Court have a tilt towards conservatism are advancing state laws hoping that the case will get to the Supreme Court and the Court will over turn Roe v. Wade....my guess is, the SCOTUS will not accept those cases. BTW since the fight against Abortion clinics in the US, Abortion cases have increased...The decision to abort should be left to the lady, he God and her Doctor. The same Bible that condemn Abortion, also condemn lying and said both shall go to hell...and you have lied by stating that abortion in the US "..was put in place by the league of Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton and Obama." which is a big fat LIE and you are no different than this lady....She might even be better than you as she is more likely to see her short comings, confess her sins and repent; but you will continue to paddle your lies and pass them as true without remorse, repentance or asking for forgiveness! |
He that pays the piper calls the tune! If the guy foots a greater part of the bills, he owns the exclusive right to determine what a round is. If the lady want such right, she should foot the bill or become a sugar mommy to some guy. Because, something tells me that Sugar Mommies determines what constitutes a round and this is logical because they pay the bills. |
Diamond23:Something tells me that, his uncle is in the category of masters whom you have described can dismiss their apprentice for any reason just so that, they wouldn’t settle him/her. A man that, can not keep an agreement for apprentice to serve under his business in order to learn the trade can’t be trusted to honor that same agreement he has violate to settle the guy after seven years. He has definitely changed the terms and spirit of the agreement and converted the guy into a houseboy, there is no need hoping that something magical will happen if he stayed for the remaining 4 yrs. More so, people don’t easily release their house help after a defined period of time unless they become a burden, and as such my guess is; he is still going to be there and continue as houseboy even after 4yrs. |
donstan18:Not true! The agreement was him to serve in a specific discipline, which is at his business and not to be a house boy. He is also suppose to be learning the trade and accumulating his contacts and networks that may be needed, when he is settled and on his own. Running a few errands in the house okay, but not converting him to a full house help, while the business is going on. I am pretty sure that, at the onset had his uncle disclosed to him that, he will be coming to become a house boy and not to learn a trade, he would have rejected the offer. That not withstanding, he is in a delicate position...my advice is don’t keep it bottled up inside you, confide in your parents...they will be in a better position to talk to your uncle. If you talk to him, given the African culture, he might feel disrespected. Also, be prepare for the worst case scenario as he might decide to kick you out, since he need more of a house boy now than an a trade apprentice and you have indicated that, you don’t want to be a houseboy. |
comshots:Can you be more specific on the jobs created by Trump for Americans through his ‘America First’ Policy? Because, I see none and have not heard or read about any. |
U |
I don't understand....those who have better insight can you please shed some light? How can he free prisoners, is he a Judge or the President who can free prisoners? |
Failtech:Not true.... He is using tools and script kiddies for his exploits....Apple, Google or Microsoft does not employ those who used already made and available tools to aid hacking. You have to be able to code and create your own codes, scripts and be able to use them to detect vulnerability...Scripts kiddies are available all over the internet and you can buy them on the open web, for sophisticated ones, visit the dark web and you will get them....you don't need any skill to use them....many come with instructional videos and steps on how to use them and there are many forums on the dark web to find tips and collaborate with other script kiddies users. |
grossintel:How can money 'appear' in your account and 'disappear' within 1 hr? My guess is, you do not know how electronic banking works and what is involved before your account is credited or debited. This guy must have sent the dealer a fake SMS alert in addition to with a fake bank alert email containing a CSS script to click to check his bank balance. The dealer clicks on the link, which then simulates him logging into his online banking, he enters his user name and password and viola! he 'sees' his bank balance.... The site is scripted to look exactly like his Bank's online banking page....Never click on any link in an email purpotedly sent to you by your Bank...open a new browser, type in the Bank URL and go from there...Any Compute Student who has done either client's or Server side CSS scripting can inject codes into your browser and make you do whatever they want or see what ever they want you to see... |
adorablepepple:The point here is, it’s hypocritical and contrary to the core and foundational message of the Church, which is anchored on faith (belief without evidence) and trust. The other question is what exactly is ‘reproductive/genital status’? I understand the ‘reproductive’ part, most likely test to see if the woman's womb are in tact and that, she can bear children and that, the guy can impregnate a lady....what happens to faith? Also, who will bear these cost? I guess it is the intending couples? But why saddle born again Christians with these extras responsibilities? We gave our lives to Christ in order to make heaven and desire to get married within the Church in order to have a unified home and not be unequally yoked, the additional financial burden is not needed and Christians should not be forced to leave the Church or marry outside because they can’t meet certain financial requirements put in place by Church administration that have zero relationships with the gospel of Christ or the winning of souls. |
Pharaoh001:Pentecostal is not a church, it is just one of the numerous Christian denominations...others includes Catholic, Presbyterian, Evangelicals, Baptist, Lutheran, Methodist, Protestant, Anglican, etc... |

Some of you get angry once you hear anything about the church.
