It's very simple, just provide a space for BVN on car registration forms.

"He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him."

onimcee1:
you can not stand on existing protocols as none was probably in existence.
below are some definitions of the term"PROTOCOL", none of them defines it as the dignitaries in an event.
1. the official procedure or system of rules
governing affairs of state or diplomatic
occasions.
2. the original draft of a diplomatic document,
especially of the terms of a treaty agreed to
in conference and signed by the parties.
3. a formal or official record of scientific
experimental observations.
4. a set of rules governing the exchange or
transmission of data between devices.

That's the definition the whites gave you, how does our society define protocol?

protocol
ˈprəʊtəkɒl/
noun

~ the system of rules and acceptable behaviour used at (un)official ceremonies and occasions.
(adapted)

onimcee1:
We as non native speakers, lack linguistic competence. If how you greet we greet ourselves in another man's language is not acceptable by such a man, then we shouldn't do it.
many Africans speak pidgin English, does that make pidgin English acceptable or correct?

You are missing the point of this argument, that we use English language to communicate does not mean we should not or cannot reflect our cultural or societal norms, else what are we communicating?

If and when we address the House of Lords or House of Commons, we will observe the etiquettes applicable there.

Caveat:
Confide in prophets, pastors or anyone for that matter at your own risk.

I have sat in church on several occasions and hear pastor use someone's confidential issue as sermon, only to say God directed him to address the issue on the alter. Really?

I envy you.

Amberon:
Lol...can't fool people like me. The mother only went pleaded out of fear of what Suleman could do to the girl.

Yea Yea, she said so in the interview.

Come on! That phrase ("all protocols observed" or "standing on existing protocols" ) is used mainly by subsequent speakers at a function when the first speaker must have acknowledged the presence of all dignitaries.

Besides that it's not a practice in UK or USA does not make it wrong.

Are we not free to decide how we greet ourselves?

OP, try and paragraph your article for easy reading.

People talk about marriage as "sacred, holy, everlasting" and you wonder how that is possible for something that is earth bound.

Saying the husband is the Spiritual head of the family is a lie and misleading, else how do you explain the role of Prophetess Deborah, "virgin" Mary, and all the women that have fought and won spiritual battles for their families?

I thought Jesus being the head makes the husband and wife the body in spiritual matters.

As for attending same church, it's just for convenience, because there is no place it's stated such is a criteria for spiritual evolution.

In a world controlled and dominated by organized religion, the "atheist" becomes "the voice in the wilderness."

Calling for a change in the attitude and practices of the people meant there was an element of disbelieve and discontentment in the status quo prompting a desire for a new order and thus the call by John the baptist.

I doubt if John would have been inspired to call for a change if he was comfortable and eating fat from the status quo. It won't be a stretch of the imagination to see the materialistic tendencies and excesses that he denounced by his lifestyle.

Was he affiliated to any religious organization?
Did he profess a belief at variance with the mainstream belief system?

Sometimes I see people with organized-religion-non-conforming-opinion or belief branded as "atheist." And I wonder how/why we celebrate Jesus who asked the priests of his day questions they couldn't answer, who prolly held different opinion about certain aspects of their organized system of worship and beliefs, but brand those that question some things in our religious doctrines and practices as "atheist."

We are told the law was made and given to the Jews and that we are gentiles, saved and living by the grace of Jesus Christ, yet we are required and made to pay tithe, a precondition to enjoy God's blessings under the Law. Why?

We are told, "our God is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob;" and we celebrate and build doctrines on the fact that Abraham paid tithe to Melchizedek, high priest of the most high God, (a non-Jew, an alien?)

We are told that why we pay tithe is because it predates the law, but so is Polygamy or Incest. So?

And if I draw the conclusion that the Jews (descendants of Abraham) were not the only people that knew, worshiped or had access to the Most High God, I will be given a label. Yet we forget that Melchizedek was not a High Priest in isolation, but with a people and followers.
Who were his people and followers?

We are made to believe that every other people in the bible, except the Israelites, were pagan Idol worshippers, including the followers of Melchizedek?

I purposely left out citing Bible verses knowing my audience are well-versed in it.

There is nothing like a "cheap" girl.

life is all about choices and Certain conditions in life can make a good girl With excellent or above average upbringing to be "cheap" based on the limited options she has to choose from.

That #6 is manipulative to say the least, it forecloses contrary opinion by girls, same technique used by organized..... You know.

whatever the case, a dangerous precedent is being set. . .

kemi olunoyo is an easy target because she is a tabloid/junk journalist/batshit crazy blogger
but tomorrow it could be someone posting something against the government
i am sure teh same people cheering are the same people who were shouting when the dss arrested a social media activist

You dey mind us (minus?)

What I don't understand is, why is she paraded in court in prisoner's uniform?

At lest I know Nnamdi Kanu has been going to court from prison dressed elegantly.
Why is Kemi treated this way?

hakeem4:
I remember the time when I was queuing up at the ATM. One girl just came to me and said "egbon, am in front of your back ooo"

I nearly died

Hahahahahahahahaha

... But she was philosophically correct.

freeze001:
This is not a blanket statement but a factual one:

It beggars belief that there will be more work to be done in one Lagos than in the 11 states of the SS/SE. How is that possible unless there is a deliberate effort to keep the region underdeveloped while the bulk of the fund is drawn from the same region?

If something is shared on based on region, Lagos is not one.
The breakdown I mean is, those projects may not be strictly in Lagos state alone but may cut across other states in the region though passing through Lagos.

Some one listed some priority projects up there, and more than one project are in Lagos but does not end in Lagos.

freeze001:
The comparison was between the 11 states of the SS/SE and the one state of Lagos. I am sure there are way more than 20 million people in the entire old Eastern Region and also more infrastructural needs in 11 states put together than in one. Last I checked, an even spread was always a better option than over concentration in a small area.

Last I check, Clark made a blanket statement, without a breakdown of the projects in Lagos state and the ones in SE/SE he is referring to.

vanunu:
Nigeria is a complete rogue state, that practises discrimination. Do u know that nobody from the south east has been made the minister of works for over 50years. A rogue state is doomed.

Within that same period under review, how many from SE have been made Finance Minister? Or that is a minor role in government?

...
The categories are from priority ONE to FOUR...

PRIORITY ONE

The projects under Priority 1, are termed as "national priority projects", are projects on critical economic routes on the federal road network.

These are highly trafficked North-South, East-West routes used for the distribution of goods and services across the country and major river-crossing bridges. The sum of N150,470,553,292, which represents 62.22 per cent, is proposed to execute national priority 1 projects in 2017...These are;

Is Edwin Clark not aware of these information? He seems to be the only one wailing at that forum.

Check the responses of Gov Udom and ex-MILAD Nkanga, they have come to terms with the reality of goodwill and good works of PMB's administration.

They look more like advanced igloos than African huts

The problem I see is the interpretation given to the Hebrew word translated "maiden."
A maiden does not necessarily mean a Virgin but a young woman or girl.

Just like when the Bible uses the phrase "Adam knew Eve" to mean sex, same can be said of "spirit of God came on Mary" to mean sex.

If the "sons of God" had sex with women, why make excuses for "God?"
Or how do you know that the "spirit of God" that came on Mary was not one of the "sons of God."

beardlessdude:
actually, it's called super bike, na naija gv am power bike

I know, can you handle the "super" aspect of the bike?

It's called super bike because most of them have engine capacity (speed wise) greater than most cars.

If so Nigerians should be the healthiest people on earth, as fasting is our way of life.

Eating pattern:
101
011
001

Besides, how long is the fasting duration per session?

beardlessdude:
I just witnessed a young man die this morning on a bike.

Is it riskier than driving cars

All things are lawful but not all things are necessary.

As the name, "power bike," implies, if you can't handle the power don't ride the bike. Simple.

Let me rearrange the list in proper order:

1. Money

2. GOD

3. Pussy

4. Beer

5. Weed

Davash222:
Can't stoop too low just to educate you.. Read my post again , and this time, ask God for understanding.

Shalom.

Sorry, I understand more than simple English.

You can't swallow your words.

Check the meaning of "advocate," if that is your challenge.

yinkuscious:
Recently, the Senate suspended Senator Ndume. Will the suspension affect his usual pay?

If not, they summon him back

What is that?
Stop it if na play.

Stop whose pay?

Does it mean because someone is shot dead in a movie he is actually dead?

Davash222:
And can marriage be abolished??

Are you asking me?
Is that not what you advocated for, Or you don't understand your choice of words?

Good!

At lest they Kept a leeway/escape route for themselves in case rigging becomes a necessity.

Major highlights of the new bill include provision for the use of electronic voting by INEC during future elections, use of Card Reader and also gives INEC power to modify the voting process if there is a challenge.

Davash222:
Read my post again.

What is there to read again?

Freedom for women cannot be won without the abolition of marriage.

If you understood the import of what you said, you will know my calling you an atheist is a compliment.

Davash222:
Feminism can't work here in Nigeria cos, from infancy, almost, the average girl is told that marriage is her ultimate goal, therefore, her training and Education were directed towards that ends.

Freedom for women cannot be won without the abolition of marriage.

Great!

You must be an atheist for advocating the abolition of an institution that was established by God.

adorablepepple:
Many will see this topic and run away, so they don't offend God. My Bible tells me "all authority in heaven and on earth belongs to Jesus" and I have that same authority as a child of God, so I don't know where it was written that only pastors should claim that authority. Many Christians haven't read their bible for a long time now ,they only listen to what comes from the pastor, whether he is misinterpreting it oooh Abi he is saying it well you don't know....
Am a Christian, I understand the word and I know am anointed myself..... This days title in the church is now politics..... all the time we call Jesus but before you call a so called man of God you have to affix all in the title of this earth to his name why?? Because they see themselves to be higher than God.....

I was invited once to a church program, and the way the pastor was introduced will put the most vain glorious politician to shame.
