Christianity EtcRe: Stephanie Henshaw - Chris Okotie's Ex-Wife - On Their Divorce by matemate: 9:11pm On Jul 03, 2012
You see the advantage of polygamy in this case..
polygamy was common among the first christian.

Monogamy was an idea of women liberation movement in the west. it was approximately 1000 years ago, that "the Light of the Diaspora," banned polygamy among jew. This ban was accepted as law by all Ashkenazi Jews, but was not recognized by Sephardic and Yemenite communities.

here is my point. What it means is that in the time of Jesus, polygamy was the main form of marriage. Even the bible bear that fact.
The women liberation movement push had in the west to enforce monogamy.

this account for why the bible was silent in the new testament on monogamy. except in 1 issue.
PoliticsIndian Killed By Nigerria Bomb by matemate(op): 4:44am On Jul 03, 2012
Indian, 161 others die in Mumbai-style Nigeria terror
By Indo Asian News Service | IANS India Private Limited – Mon 23 Jan, 2012

Abuja, Jan 22 (IANS) An Indian was among 162 people killed as heavily armed Islamists carried out a deadly Mumbai-style terror attack in Nigeria's second largest city Kano, media reports and Indian officials said Sunday.
Six other Indians, including two children, were wounded and panic gripped the Indian community as a small group of terrorists stormed Kano, split themselves into smaller groups and went on a killing spree Friday evening.
Kevalkumar Kalidas Rajput, 23, who hailed from Gujarat and worked for Kano-based company Relchem since March 2011, was killed, the Indian High Commission in Nigeria said.
He and two Nepali colleagues Hari Prasad Bhusal and Raj Singh died when their car apparently entered a scene of hostilities, the mission said in a statement.
The six Indians from two families were injured because of falling shrapnel and debris. They were taken to hospitals.
Although uneasy calm returned to Kano Sunday, the city of nine million was devastated. Smoke still billowed from buildings that caught fire after being bomb attacked.
The well-planned savagery was blamed on an Islamist group with known ties with Al Qaeda. It targeted security forces in Kano in northern Nigeria.
The main targets were government sites including police stations, the passport office, the state security headquarter and the immigration office -- all symbols of authority in religiously-divided Nigeria.
The Indian community in Nigeria is estimated to be 35,000-strong. Most Indians in the country are well-off and enjoy non-controversial existence.
Nigeria is India's largest trading partner in Africa. Bilateral annual trade exceeded $8.7 billion in 2009-10.
Ashish Kumar Verma, an Indian, told Times Now from Kano that the attackers were about 20 in number and "targetted different places in the city".
"They blew up police headquarter, passport office... also attacked the IG house," he said. He said Indians were trying to get out of Kano.
Another Indian, T. Pragnesh, too spoke of the horror. He said the Indian Association in Kano was trying to determine if more people had been killed or wounded.
"We have 162 bodies in the morgue," a visibly distraught official said at Kano's main morgue.
The wounded included foreigners from an area home to many expatriates, particularly Lebanese and Indians.
BBC reported that hospitals were overwhelmed with the dead and injured.
The attack left Kano residents terrorized and shocked, some of whom wandered the streets to look for loved ones. Many refused to leave their homes fearing more attacks.
"We don't know what's going to happen next, no one thought this would ever happen here. There's despair," said Faruk Mohammed.
CNN quoted him as saying that there were at least 25 explosions. "Then it went deathly quiet."
A 24-hour curfew was declared in Kano, where search and rescue operations were underway for the killers.
Nigeria closed its borders with neighbouring Cameroon and Niger, claiming these countries allowed the militants to move freely into Nigeria, reported RIA Novosti.
Boko Haram, the group behind the attack, has been seeking to impose Sharia law in Nigeria, divided into dominantly Christian south and a largely Muslim north.
Boko Haram colloquially translates into "Western education is sin".
It was formed in 2002 by preacher Mohammad Yusuf. In 2009, Yusuf was arrested and died in police custody. The death led the group to begin its attacks on police stations.
Boko Haram spokesperson Abul Qaqa said the attacks were in response to the refusal of the Kano state government to release fellow terrorists who had been arrested.
Hundreds of Nigerian troops have been deployed at major streets in Kano to enhance security, reported Xinhua.
President Goodluck Jonathan said that the perpetrators would "face the full wrath of the law".

PoliticsRe: Why GEJ Is Unfit As President In 1 Sentence by matemate: 2:27pm On Jun 20, 2012
how do we replace Goodluck with westerner... constitutionally... replacing Goodluck with a northerner will not be accepted to the south....

the reason is.. yar adua did 3 years of 4 years.. a northener.. constitutionally.. he is allowed 4 years..

meaning if he lost his second term. . and if the north had rule with yar adua. the east have rule with goodluck. it only leave the west to rule. you can not replace Goodluck with a northerner. it will not be acceptable TO THE WEST..

you will be calling for a civil war because the west is suppose to pick the next president of nigeria after GOODLUCK.

I think you need your head examine. If he claim 60% of the university teachers do not have PHD. I wonder where you people went to school. tell us the school you went to in Nigeria. what about set example for nigerian and return back to bayelsa state to teach. Bayelsa need Jonathan Goodluck more than nigeria need goodluck as president. dont you think. you claim he has failed the nation , so why dont you ask him to return to bayelsa to teach as example to the rest of nigeria. since majority of nigerian dont want him. bayelsa state want him. dont you think so.

PoliticsRe: FIRS Arrest CEOs Of UTC, HITV, John Holt, Pivot Over N2.17bllion Tax by matemate: 4:06am On May 14, 2012
.According to FIRS, the 9 eastern state of Nigeria which collect majority of the revenue in Nigeria about 35% , pays less than 4% of the total taxes in Nigeria, when compare with the North and the West. It looks like the federal govt of Nigeria does not collect taxes in 9 eastern state of Nigeria.
