Christianity Etc › Re: "What Does The Bible Say About The Virgin Mary?" by mbulela: 4:53pm On Oct 12, 2014

OLAADEGBU:
Even though Jesus did what Mary said but this was not after He had somewhat rebuked her by saying that His mission was not to do temporary ephemeral things but to save His people from their sins. Apart from this place, Mary is never shown in Scripture to demand or request anything from Jesus again.

In addition to your point, Mary was not interceding. She was letting the wedding event planners in on the miraculous power of God resident in Jesus. Nothing in that passage proves that if the people themselves had gone to Jesus, he would have turned them down.

An intercessor is one who pleads on your behalf. Making mary an intercessor is belittling the efficacy of the blood of Jesus; blood that spoke,speaks and will continue speaking into eternity.

Truly no one goes to the father except through christ, but
some are also in a better position to pray for us that's where we talk about mediator. let's take a look at what happened in canaan.

You need a second mediator when the first one is fallible or inadequate.

Obinoscopy:
It means that INEC has two options:

1. Accept the verdict and re-conduct the 2011 legislative elections. This automatically means that the senators/reps that were elected in 2011 have lost their mandate. Also this means whoever wins in the new elections has less than 6 months to stay in office before the next 2015 legislative elections.

2. Appeal the verdict at the Supreme Court. In this case, there are 3 possibilities:
a) The Supreme Court might reaffirm the judgements of the lower courts. In this case, we're back to option 1.
b) The Supreme Court could nullify the judgement. In this case, the status quo is maintained
c) The case might linger in the Supreme Court till 2015 elections. In that case, whatever verdict the Supreme Court gives would just be an academic exercise as it's ruling would be overtaken by events .

A 2011 case still ongoing till 2014...........this shows how slow our judiciary is. I don't think it's healthy for our democracy. We need a judiciary that would give fast judgements without necessarily compromising it's efficiency.

Very sound and any comment.
Like you said,the fact that a 2011 case is still inconclusive in 2014 is an indictment of our judicial system. No excuse is acceptable for this failed system m. This is worse than rigging.

Politics › Another SA -Nigerian Arms Deal Bust by mbulela(op): 2:57pm On Oct 05, 2014

5 October 2014 15:00 Erika Gibson @City_Press

The Asset Forfeiture Unit of the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) has seized $5.7 million (R64 million) for yet another arms deal between South Africa and Nigeria.

This is the second multimillion-rand arms deal between the two countries in the past month that has resulted in the money being frozen in South African banks.

Last month, R103 million in $100 bills stashed in suitcases was seized at Lanseria Airport, north of Joburg.

The money was frozen in both cases for allegedly being the proceeds of illegal transactions.

City Press’ sister paper Rapport has learnt that the department for offences against the state in the Special Investigating Unit is also involved.

Documents in the newspaper’s possession show that the earlier consignment was approved by the Nigerian government – that country’s national security adviser personally issued the end-user certificate for the transaction.

An entire “shopping list” was supplied with the certificate, which included everything from helicopters to unmanned aircraft, rockets and ammunition.

Sources close to the investigation said the latest transaction was between Cerberus Risk Solutions, an arms broker in Cape Town, and Societe D’Equipments Internationaux, a Nigerian company in Abuja.

An impeccable source said this company paid the R60 million into Cerberus’ account at Standard Bank.

Cerberus was previously registered as a broker with the National Conventional Arms Control Committee (NCACC), but the registration expired in May this year.

The marketing and contracting permits also expired at the same time.

The company has since applied for re-registration, but the application lay in the NCACC’s mailbox for more than two months.

Sources told Rapport that Cerberus apparently tried to pay the money back to the Nigerian company, after which the bank became suspicious.

The NPA’s Asset Forfeiture Unit subsequently obtained a court order in the South Gauteng High Court to seize the money.
Cerberus’ attorney, Martin Hood, this week declined to comment on the matter.

NPA spokesperson Nathi Mncube said there were no indications that the two transactions were related.

“However, both are now the subject of a criminal investigation and all possible information and connections are being investigated,” said Mncube.

"What integrity has Obasanjoin terms of his lagacies for Nigeria to speak on elections? Apart from his aborted third term ambition, he brought about and left a legacy of electoral corruption in the country. What is Obasanjo talking about? He should go away and retire in shame politically. He should leave the political landscape of this country alone. He brought a whole salad of corruption manipulations and failure"

Fast forward 2014, Obasanjo has become the pillar of democracy in Nigeria. Gospel according to Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and somebody on nairaland told me I should respect him. SMH

More than all the unverified accusations leveled against Tinubu, this is the worst stench on the image of APC in Lagos state govt.
This mess just does not make sense. My friend said Fashola looked like he was on a state visit when his visit to Synagogue was aired on tv.
At least we are used to such c.rap with GEJ but on this particular account, Fashola has fallen the hands of neutrals severely. Justice delayed is justice denied.
Straight forward case; was the building approved? Yes or No.
Based on that, the state should have long begun a case of culpable homicide against the owner of the building.
How long does it take to verify the approvals for the building?

Meanwhile, Mukhtar Dan’Iyan, the editor-in-chief of the 15Past8 Media Group based in New York City, who is also an expert on Africa and Middle East policy and security gave his opinion on the matter in a tweet he posted.
Dan’Iyan wrote, “Israel does not use CH-47 Chinook transport helicopter, so selling surplus (or any stock) to Nigeria or any other nation is not even a possibility. The story about USA blocking the sale of non-existent equipment from Israel is therefore non-sequitur.
“Incidentally, Israel uses the Sikorsky CH-53 Sea Stallion as its heavy transport helicopter, and Boeing would do anything to get that business for its Chinook,” he wrote.

Not completely true. Unless you think those carrying loads in the park or construction sites for pittance are lazy or doing it because they need to lose weight.
