Delaw135: I alwayz like sitting beside window for fresh air in plane

How would sitting beside a window on a commercial plane result in 'giving you fresh air'?

Where the fresh air dey come from when the windows are shut? Once the doors are shut, everyone shares the same pressurized oxygen circulating throughout the plane, there is no fresh air.

mikkyphp: Guys Guys Guys...Stop the Cynicism

This is our first attempt, whether or not it is a toy purchased over the counter, the fact is that the UAV has been modified with the addition of on-board cameras and GPS to perform pre-defined tasks within its ambit. the GCS is quite impressive with the ground mounted mobile radio antennae; though i am not sure what its maximum range is.

With this display and proper PR, they could get proper funding to expand the program to incorporate other features and capabilities - possiblly carry arms.

NAF has not come out to say they invented it, neither do they have any interest in re-inventing the wheel. Lets cut them some slack.

I believe with proper vision and funding, this program could be expanded and go a long way in securing our borders, providing relief in disaster areas, beaming live footages, aerial pictures of BH strong holds....etc...who knows, maybe jumia will use it to deliver parcels within the lagos metropolis using an octacopter

good work boys!

Based on your yardstick, I should be parting myself on the back for the 'ingenuity' I displayed by wiring a GPS system, two internal cameras (one facing front and another facing back), then a backup camera on the license plate with a dashboard view plus an inbuilt Bluetooth plus a radar detector and a DVD system, etc...all these meticulously wired to the on-board system of my car that is Japan made?

By the way, did I tell you that the radar detector can do amazing and pre-programmed stuff? Like telling me real-time traffic situation on the road during rush hours and tell me the roads to avoid, plus tell me where the COPs are hiding and to avoid then or slow down when I approach those places, it also have GPS location and programmable abilities...Lest I forget, my backup camera can do some amazing stuff as well, like warning me when there is an object behind me while backing up....time will fail me to tell you the other miracles the other stuff can also do...I need my own accolades.

My point is, we should stop congratulating mediocracy from our governments, especially when they do somethings that a curious minded fifteen year old can do within one weekend in his father's backyard.

If you want one just like the one demo above, let me know and I will get that for you; if you have a nice painter you can make it any color you want if exactly like the Nigeria Airforce one shown above and you can shot your own 'tactical' video and upload to Nairaland.

That is a digitally enhanced image aka photoshopped.

OP,You did a good job; but you might have drawn the wrong conclusion, because you did not take time to read the whole of Revelation chapter 12. You selectively picked some verses that played into your narrative and ignored the rest of the passage and details about the woman or other biblical parallel passages where the symbols Sun, Moon and 12 stars have been used to represent something else.

There are three theories about the identity of the Woman, some hold the view that the Woman represents Mary (note: the word 'represent' as in not literally); many others hold the view that the woman represent Israel and others indicated that; the woman represents the Church.

Even Pope Benedict does not hold your strong immovable views that the woman represents Mary and nothing else, as he also believe that the woman represents the Church...

Now back Revelation Chapter 12; try to inculcate these verses into your conclusion that, the woman is Mary in Heaven and see how your theory falls apart:

Rev 12: 6 "And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days."

Note: that the 'thousand two hundred and threescore days' is the 7 years tribulation period on earth (Rev. 11:3) when the two witnesses from God will prophesy on earth. If your narrative is correct, which means Mary will not be in heaven during the great tribulation but will flee into the wilderness...I can see you recoiling from the facts stated here, because, it does not fit with the doctrine of The Assumption of the Virgin Mary into heaven.

Rev 12:13"And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.

14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.

15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.

16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.

17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ."

From these passage, it is clear now that this 'woman' was on the earth with Satan and Satan persecuted the woman, the woman was given two wings that she might fly into the wilderness to seat out the great tribulation. Then Satan was angry with the woman and made war with the 'remnant of her seed, which kept God's commandments and the testimony of Jesus Christ'

When you examine the whole passage in context, you begin to see that the woman might just be either Israel or the Church and her 'seed' is Jesus Christ the first-fruit of creation and the 'remnant of her seed' are the tribulation saints that Satan will persecute because of their testimonies for 7 years. Remember that before the tribulation, Jesus will come to rapture the Church and just like the woman, the Church will not pass through the tribulation but they will be safe for the 7 years. Also, remember that the woman will be 'feed' or 'nourished' for those 7 years, while the tribulation goes on...Also remember the marriage super of the lamb which will take place during the tribulation immediately before the second coming of Christ that will signal the end of the 7 years tribulation.

Finally, in his Book 'Jesus of Nazareth', volume 2; Pope Benedict XVI wrote and I quote:
"When the Book of Revelation speaks of the great sign of a Woman appearing in heaven, she is understood to represent all Israel, indeed, the whole Church. . . .

On the basis of the “corporate personality” model—in keeping with biblical thought—the early Church had no difficulty recognizing in the Woman, on the one hand, Mary herself and, on the other hand, transcending time, the Church, bride and mother, in which the mystery of Mary spreads out into history.

In August 26, 2006: Pope Benedict also said and I quote again:
"This Woman represents Mary, the Mother of the Redeemer, but at the same time she also represents the whole Church, the People of God of all times, the Church which in all ages, with great suffering, brings forth Christ ever anew"

Now, if the Pope who should be the greatest advocate of Catholicism in the world would not equivocally declare that the woman is indeed Mary and no other, you can see why myself a non-Catholic would not go out on a limb to say so and I will advice you toll the lines of the Pope and keep your mind open as well.

From this, it appear that the only evidence/lack thereof of drawing conclusion that he was not shot was the lack of bullet pellets....

The guy have an entry and exit wounds, one on his chest and the other on his back; that indicates that the bullet or whatever pieced him exited his body, meaning you will not find pellets in his body.

The medical examiner should have gone further and exclude bullet as causing the entry and exit wounds.

AFOLSNETWORKS: Hope you get a quick buyer

=========================
Pardon me for posting this here:

I am in urgent need of a reliable shipping company based in New York that can forward some food supplement to me in Nigeria.

If you know of a reputable company or you are an individual based in New York with a valid address and can forward the products to me in Nigeria, kindly assist and post details here.

For clarity, this is not illegal, just that the company does not ship their products to Africa anymore.

The products are in 4packages and total wight is 48lbs.
Here is my phone number just in case you will like to call me +2348186414186

Thank you.

PM, I might be able to help, but it must be a reputable company and I will need complete and full disclosure of the item and there might be need to open them for inspection to authenticate it.

I help a lot friends in Nigeria to buy stuff in the US and ship to them. But in this age of drugs and illegal stuff; one have to protect his self and make sure that the items are legit. I am not in anyway saying that they are illegit or if you are doing anything illegal, but as a principal I have to independently convince myself that it is legit. I have made payments here in the US and even money transfer from the US abroad on behalf people and each time I do my own due diligence and in some cases, they final answer might be NO.

biodunid: What I have is: Babatunde Fasola <brfgov@lagosstate.gov.ng>. Hope it still works but we must put pressure not only on him but everyone who gets paid to keep us safe in this country - from LG to FG. The torture chamber might not even be in Lagos and maybe when a non Yoruba politician speaks up about this it might more effectively shame my people to act pronto. I know this is a nation wide disease but the one in focus now is blatantly Yoruba speaking perpetrators and victims.

I got a failure delivery when I sent email to the Governor, was your email returned?

Do you have other contacts, preferred email addresses in Nigeria, where one can write and hopefully they will give these guys what they denied this lady, which is their day in a Court of law.

Olu_t.boy:
Well to me i think we should consider when trousers actually got into the church because i believe it was first used in the secular world before being introduced into the church. and also the response of the early church fathers to it because the bible says do not remove the ancient landmarks which your fathers have set.
SHALOM

What about men wearing suite, blazers? It was not part of the ancient landmarks, they all wore flowing gowns...even nice Italian shows and golden wrist watch to match..when the people that established the ancient landmarks only wore sandals and uses the sun to tell time.

udopee: @ the op,as a man on trousers, when you want to urinate in an open place, you freely do that at ease without people around seeing ur body, it is not the same case with a woman wearing trousers. If accidentally she is on a far journey and along the line the vehicle stops for people to urinate, I tell you that you will see everything cus she have to pull down the trouser to her hipline before having free assess to ease herself. What else is she hiding again. It wouldn't be like that if she is wearing a well covering long skirt bcus all she need to do is to quietly bend down and off she goes. THIS IS SIMPLE REASONING TO SHOW YOU THAT NATURE DOES NOT SUPPORT WOMEN WEARING TROUSERS OR MEN WEARING SKIRT...SHALOM!

It beats me why anyone should urinate in "an open place".

That is public indecency, you should be arrest next time you do it and locked up.

sexkillz: [color=#000030]Loretta, you dey see am so?

Your fellow girls prefer food: pastries e.g meatpie, isiewu, fried rice, chicken, peppersoup, nkwobi and ice cream, than flowers.

Oh and money. [/color]

I think you guys are miss understanding the OP. Let me decode it for you guys, before your girl give you dirty slap or leave you go follow Dayo becos you start buying her flowers instead of "things"..

She is simply saying that guys should remember that 9ja girls are not only material and that they also have romantic side as well.

So each time you guys provide meatpie, isiewu, fried rice, chicken, peppersoup, nkwobi and ice cream, money, recharge card, etc you should also include a bouquet of flowers to go...this way they will not pass as materialistic and gold diggers but also as loving and romantic.

In summary, she is not saying you should decrease your budget towards your girl but that, you should increase that budget to include flowers once in a while...as long as the increase that accounts for the occassional flowers does not affect future increases toward "things".

The bitter truth is that, even if you forgive her/or them or take her back or do not take her back.

That will not be the last time they will phuck each other...Yes! I know they have begged and must have really felt remorseful about what they did. A very wise friend once told me that, 'Some doors are better kept closed forever' and that we should resist all temptations or urges to open those doors...because if you open a particular door, you will be tempted to walk through it again, when the conditions become permissible again.

Now that, they have opened that door and tasted the fruit and only felt remorseful when caught, they will walk through that door again no matter the outcome or actions of yours. Their only regret now is that, they were caught....so they will attempt to compensate for that lapses next time.

Your friend even boosted about the exploit and felt fulfilled, fully aware that he was causing you pains and griefs while narrating the exploit to your face and your fiancee denied it and even became offensive about it, until you presented her with the cold irrefutable facts. These actions does not conform to that of anyone who is truly sorry and repentant.

If the neck-less was a gift, it was wrong of you to take it back, but if it was truly for engagement as you indicated. Yes, you can take it back, because it was given in anticipation of a Marriage (just like a promise or contract) and since the engagement/marriage did not materialize and she was the one that broken the contract/promise, it is not heartless or out of place to take it back.

Please note that, I am not saying you should take or not take them back...that decision is up to you.

Next time the guy say he want to phuck you, tell am say the main reason you have been hesitating is becos you get AIDs.

If him say, no problem say una go use rubber, tell am say you are allergic to rubber.

Other ladies use the "I am an ogbagen" or "I get mummy water spirit" line and that work took to scare the living day light of men....but I like the "I have AIDS" line better.

Each time they see you (ie if at all they will ever cross your path) again, phucking will be the last thing on their mind.

Go for the Abuja own....abeg, if you give man the Lagos appointment letter so that man go fit go represent you....I go begin to answer your name at once and will later change it via court filing later.

man must whack, at least man go work and earn his salary...Please PM me..thanks in advance.

kel4soft: Sorry educate me on armed robbery laws. My concern is the double standard of these judges.

The law is centered around giving priority to human life above property and treasures.

If you bring a weapon to robbery, the penalty increases drastically because a human life was threaten and in danger even if the property or treasures robbed is insignificant but the value is large enough for you to be charged as a Robber and not petty thief.

On the other hand, if you snatched a million naira from someone without using any weapon, your sentence will be lower because no human life was in danger during the incident.

This raised a very important question....

Lawyers in the House, is one allowed to defense him/her self in Nigeria, even if it lead to the death of the aggressor? If this were in the US, depending on the State...there is a high probability that this boy will walk..some States will not even go through the trouble of charging him to court.

ogugua88: The same night New Jersey held their elections, the incumbent Governor Chris Christie was declared winner. 2 days after Anambra's election, it's been deemed inconclusive. Well done.

You are comparing apples to oranges, perspective is key...even at that, two weeks after the elections in Virginia, the AG election are still inconclusive.

Chima_Agbalajob: So you really think Ngige can win Anambra state with just one LGA which doesn't even house the 3 major cities?

If the outcome from those LGA is insignificant as you have portrayed, why the attempt to destrupt them from voting?

Someone must have been afraid that, those votes would be consequential.

Mrlouis: ...Coming to weavon and attachment, well permit me to say this.. A friend of mine once told me that ladies overseas sell their hairs and the hairs are collated . There is a probability that that hair is what makes up the attachment . Am not a female though, but regarding this,. And like i said , on a personal note.. Making use of weavon is more of worldliness.. Please dnt ask me why. Finally in all we do.. There should be moderation. Cos our God is not a God of confusion.. If u cant braid ur hair without rubber and all that.. Fine.. Have a nice day @ all

If your irk about attachment/weavon is because it might be a makeup of sold hair from someone else and therefore worldly....you also must be against blood transfusion, kidney transplant or any kind of medical intervention that uses parts from someone else.

If you come to look at it closely, you guys are the ones breading this confusion with no iota of scriptural backing....so next time cut out 'God is not a God confusion' part when all you are riding on are personal options void of any God's words or references.

1 Peter 3:3 ESV / 81 helpful votes

Do not let your adorning be external—the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear—

....
Suggest a Verse

I guess you do not wear cloths, because the above passage you quoted also mentioned wearing cloths in the same context with putting on gold jewelry and braiding of hair.

If your interpretation of that verse is that God is saying we should not put on gold or braid hair, you should equally extend it to not wearing cloths....else you will be guilty of not practicing His words and will go to hell.

The above passage did not ban any of those items, it is preaching moderation on all three...ie when people meets you on the street, your adorning, aka the personality that you will portray, the impression of you that that person will take away, the way you carry yourself..etc, should not be externally of the things you put on but you should allow your internal adorning to shine through....the braiding, gold or cloth you put on must be such that your internal adorning must shine through...meaning their are certain level of braiding, gold, clothes that will impede and distract people from seeing your internal adorning or will muddled or confuse the way people perceived your internal adorning for those you should do away with.

Ladies, each time you read or hear the statistic that more and more men cheat or 80% of men cheats or majority of men and born cheaters...have there been any slightest of doubts in your mind that your man might be part of that statistical number?

Worry no more, here comes the male chastity device, you can now be 110% certain that your man is faithful, you lock it hold the key, even travel on long weekend vacation or business trip with the key, whenever you are ready pop the key in and your man will be ready as ever...

the other option, parking, hmmmmmm it'l take me another year to wrestle my remaining money away from the landlord. . . i just tire.

You can sue both of them jointly...you do not have to have a contract to sue them.

You can sue anyone for damages and health hazard exposures as long as their actions put you, your family and property at risk especially if they are violating a law.

Marshalltj: I don't knw whatever u guyz think...dz made fp.....

My contribution: Loan are risky to take depending on where you are getting it from, Our Banks can frustrate your life when you take loan from them cos of their hidden conditions.

My Advice: Safe your humbly earnings and be patient, your dream car will be a reality.

My Thot: If you take a loan to buy car and eventually u bash wit it den u will know the difference between Owned and Loaned

bashing it is what insurance is for...it is foolheaded, not to protect your car with an insurance.

I will gladly take the loan and invest the cash..I will also make sure to carefully read the terms and conditions to make sure there is nothing sinister hidden in the fine prints.

Your question pre-supposes that you already have the cash on hand and are in a dilemma whether to use it or get a loan.

The best option is to treat it as investment and see if you will be a least even at the end of the day...

First see what the loan will cost you in interest rate or APR....Also see how much it will cost you to get a personal on secured loan from the bank...if the situation currently in Nigeria is same as it is in developed countries, the interest on the car loan will be lower than the personal loan because the car acts as a security.....look at it this way..

Given the above, I will invest the money and take the loan....at the minimum your investment cash flow has a boost which is equal to the difference between the above two interest rates.

A good and effortless investment for that cash is to buy a land, put a fence around it and either sit on it or gradually start developing it.

While the land is an asset and will continue to appreciate in value, your car is a liability will continue to depreciate. If you hit a financial bump in the road tomorrow, you can turn around and sell the land, payoff the loan...and you will still have some change in your pocket plus you will have your car to either sell to make more money or keep...but had you bought the car outright, you will get less than 50% of the original value.

Jazzgreen: the blasphemy of Christianity. dressing like Jesus =mocking Jesus. .

#runs out to avoid stones #

What made you conclude that, that is how Jesus dressed or there is a type of dressing exclusive to Jesus?

No picture of Jesus had been found....what you see today depicting Jesus are mere artist rendition of their guess of how he might have looked like with no bases in the Bible.

If you read the Bible closely you will understand that Jesus most have dressed exactly like his disciples...you remember when they came to take him and could not recognize which one of them is Jesus?...they even had to pay someone to give him up....if his dressing was very different and distinct from his disciple's they would not have had the identity problems recorded in the Bible....were the disciples mocking him?

Low standard of education has nothing to do with part time students. You are backing up the wrong tree.

Part time students creates a lot of opportunities. Not everyone would or could go to school full time. Some do not like it, some do not have the concentrated resources, some have other obligations to take care of simultaneously, some use that opportunity to attend the school of their dream, etc.

Almost all colleges including Ivy League colleges in the US have part time studies. Some have even gone further and are offering Bachelor, Masters and PhD degrees completely online.

These programs are ranked each year and some best your traditional brick and mortal full time colleges.

The problem is not the part time but how the school is running the program and the quality they induce into it.
