Congratulations supreme court governor.

I hope to serve in Akwa Ibom, please do increase the state allawee to 15k.

Then Politicians wit their thugs getting for ballout snatching..

Ofcourse. it is indeed a retrograde motion for electoral process. Very soon they will blame PMB whereas the whole judgement was in favour of the same people that will later blame PMB.

instead of the apex court to institute the use and importance of the reader cards, they did the right thing without considering the fact that many were denied the right to be accredited manually and as such didn't vote.

The apex court did not look at the future of Nigerian democratic election while delivering judgement.. Since card reader was introduced, it would be
better that the apex court prescribe in clear terms the use of card reader or else remove it from the electoral process..

Since the supreme court does not recognize CARD READER, then in this election, the CR should not be brought out at all.


And it is going to be a do or die affairs. Indeed the law is too weak to protect the common man.

Just like that N905m?

Jonathan, u see your life?

johnydon22:
I have never stated atheists are the true scientists that remains your own words ..

You do not need to bring your beliefs into science, it never works and premises where knowledge is lacked is a call for more study not a gap to be filled by assumptions.

That is all

You forgot that assumptions is important in physics? scientists made assumptions.

Meanwhile, if I can derive idea from my religion I do not see how it is wrong to apply it in science.

For instance in the bible, God reversed the movement of the sun and it lagged behind for 15 days, the implications is that we can go back in time.

that same going back in time is now a big question science is still struggling to answer. time will come when we will go beyond physical. time travel, entanglement, super conductivity, etc.

Let's keep watching and don't fight anyone for his belief

johnydon22:
I have no problem with people's choice of belief perfectly fine with it but once you make mor0nic assertions fueled by your beliefs i will call that person a mor0n..

Know this now i am not obligated to respect any belief.. i recognize your right to hold it and i will even fight with you to uphold that right.. But do not demand my respect for your beliefs if propagated in public as truth ..
And you call yourself a scientist i still wonder the type you are exactly
And a self proclaimed scientists doesn't know the metabolical activities that distinguishes biological entities with inanimate ones

Exactly and that gap is is not meant to filled up with assumptions.. that we don't know yet means we don't know yet not an avenue to employ absurd superstitions and assumptions
In general review all you wrote up there again and see how you are trying to bank on "ignorance" to bring basis for your beliefs..

I will not reply another mention about your beliefs again

you are becoming full of yourself sir. pride goes before downfall.

it seems it's been long you started this and as such I have to leave you here to continue. Goodluck. Since atheists are the true scientists. I just saw you I.Q and its quite high.

johnydon22:
No you have right to believe what ever you like but not the right for others to respect it..

If i am to respect every ideology then i will be inclined to respect every other dangerous idea, whim or coercion out there..

No i am not obligated to respect your beliefs, you can hold them that is fine but do not smear it on people's face and demand they respect it.

Sumerians did a far more impressive thing like measuring the orbit of Jupiter even before the bible was ever drafted. If such a thing was in the bible i wonder the kind of excitement you all must have been having now..

Someone comes here and ask people to leave every book and read just the bible and you see nothing wrong in that and still call your self a scientist? i wonder the type of science you practise that is ok with reading one ancient book.

I still demand you respect the choice of other peoples belief as prescribed by the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.


have you wondered the source of time? gravity? space? who do there come to be.

the ease at which it takes humans to walk, talk, eat, read etc as against the complex coding it takes for a scientifically produced robot to do the same


Jonnydon calm down, we are yet to discover 5% of what is in the universe.

I do not also tell people to read only the bible, no I don't. they should read other books and apply wisdom too.

johnydon22:
Imagine this nonsense... Tell me how Nigeria is ever going to grow in science when her Youths are like this @erusen ..The bible that didn't know "day/night cannot come before the sun on planet earth..

Religion has literally turned Nigerian youths to simpletons.. i don't see a bright light at the end of the tunnel

Calm down, you have no problem with the Bible.

Many things we are seeing today was long predicted, remember we predict before we discover. you have the right to your choice of belief only respect other people's belief.

Do you not think that all our discoveries is geared down towards the existence of a supreme being. Science is merely imitating the creations of God.

proudly physicist, scientist for Christ.

menxer:
Then it is safe to say angels and spirits are assumptions.

you are now talking religion, Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.…

We are talking of physical observables. in this case you are wrong. I am not an atheist sir.

vivaciousvivi:
But then again, what we humans define as "basic necessities " for lifeforms to thrive upon may not be what another planet billions of lightyears away may define it. A dark planet for example (a planet without an illuminating star like the sun, may have complex lifeforms thriving who may have appendages, exoskeletons or whatever that requires the absence of light, or water for that matter. They may not even have a spoken language as we define it here, yet they can communicate. Limbs, but have their own ability to be mobile etc.
What may seem "normal" here should not be viewed as "abnormal" elsewhere amply because we have restricted our levels of definitions.
It may sound paradoxical as I am a Christian but I believe in the possibility of complex lifeforms currently existing in other planets not weighed down by man's definition of basic requirements for life.

All you wrote are assumptions, it lacks evidences. Anyone can assume . So go ahead

Jdesilentkiller:
I didn't want to comment so early until I saw you comment.........Its highly myopic for one to think that water, air and plants are the basis for human/alien existence............think outside the box man!!! Liveforms can survive with entirely different configuration........maybe using carbon monoxide as oxygen, crude oil as food and rocks for plants......forgive me for using human things for alien stuffs ....I stand corrected..

it's not myopic sir. What do you even mean by aliens, a product of your imagination. You are yet to see one, how then do you imagine how they look, what they eat.

you may be correct until proven but as it stands now, I just listed the basis of living things. Do u you not think that: stones may be breathing carbondioxide or crude oil as you think and imagine?.

lalasticlala

brother lalasticlala, today is Sunday, can nairalanders learn how to behave today??


please help move to front page.

thanks and happy Sunday.

Before Sermon, at Sermon, and after Sermon – James 1:21,22

A Sermon Delivered on Lord's Day Morning June 28, 1885 by C.H.Spurgeon.

"Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls. But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves"-James 1:21- 22.


Brethren, it is a good thing to be under the sound of the word of God. Even if the very lowest motive should induce persons to come to hear the gospel, it is nevertheless a good thing that they should come. We have heard of some who have even come to steal, and yet the word of God has stolen into their hearts. In many cases in the olden times spies were sent to hear the Protestant divines who preached the gospel, and these took notes of all that was said, with a view to accuse them of false doctrine, that they might be punished; yet in several cases the spies themselves were converted. Such is the power of the gospel of Christ, that it wooeth and winneth even its greatest enemies. He that comes near to its fire, even with the intent to quench it, may find himself overcome by its heat.

Master Hugh Latimer, in his quaint manner, when exhorting people to go to church, tells of a woman who could not sleep for many nights, notwithstanding that drugs had been given to her; but she said that if they would take her to her parish church she could sleep there, for she had often enjoyed a quiet slumber under the sermon; and he goes the length of saying that if people even come to the sermon to sleep, it is better than not to come at all. A sick man doeth well to live where there are physicians, for one day he may be healed. If men are in the heat of a battle they may be wounded: if they come where gospel arrows are shot they may fall under them. Plants that grow in the open are likely to be watered when the shower falls. We dare not say to any man who wills to enter the house of prayer, "Thou must not come, because thy motive is gross and low." Nay, thou art welcome, anyhow. Who knoweth but that, being in the way, God may meet with thee. Being where his truth is preached, thou mayest hear it; and "faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God" Rom 10:17.

I. Let us consider the fit and proper preparation for listening to the gospel, or what is to be done BEFORE HEARING.

It will strike every man who thinks about it, that there should be some preparation of the heart in coming to the worship of God, and to the hearing of the gospel. Consider who He is in whose name we gather, and surely we cannot rush together without thought. Consider whom we profess to worship, and we shall not hurry into His presence as men run to a fire. Moses, the man of God, was warned to put off his shoes from off his feet when God only revealed Himself in a bush; how should we prepare ourselves when we come to Him who reveals Himself in Christ Jesus His dear Son?. If he was condemned who came to the wedding-feast not having on a wedding-garment, what shall we say of those who habitually come into the festivals of our Lord and never think of being meet to be partakers of His royal dainties? What shall we say of those who defile the temple of God by never seeking to have their souls washed from the filthiness of their sin? Certainly there should be a serious preparation when a sinful creature draws nigh to the most holy God.
Brethren, when I think of our engagements throughout the week, who of us can feel fit to come into the holy place of the tabernacles of the Most High? I mean not into these tabernacles made with hands, but into the inner spiritual temple of communion with God. How shall we come unto God until we are washed? After travelling so miry a road as that which runs through this foul world, can we come unto God without shaking the dust from off our feet? Can we be busy with earthly cares all the six days of the week and be ready for the holy Sabbath without a thought? When the hour is come for drawing near unto the glorious Lord before whom angels veil their faces as they cry, "Holy, holy, holy," it becomes us to be devout and humble, holy and earnest. Yes, brethren, if we were always occupied with divine worship, if we never knew thought or care except for His glory, if we were altogether dissociated from the entanglements and defilements of the world, I should not be so earnest to speak of preparation before hearing the word; but, alas! it is not so; we are men of unclean lips, and we dwell among a people of unclean lips. We have not yet come into the holy country where every one that saluteth us is either saint or angel. We have not yet cut off all the Canaanites, but we have need to watch against them daily. Because of the sin which dwelleth in us and around us, we have need to wash ourselves in the laver at the tabernacle door before we may come near unto the Most High.

II. I will talk little about DURING HEARING.

How shall we act while listenig to the word? "Receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your soul" James 1:21. The first thing then, is "Receive". That word Receive is a very instructive gospel word; it is the door through which God's grace enters to us. Then it is added, "receive with meekness." Many do not receive the gospel because they are not of a meek and teachable spirit: they come up to God's house, but the only seat they will occupy therein is the judgment-seat. One would imagine them to be the god of God by their bold talk. Judge not the word of God, I charge you. Ye may judge me as you like; small matter shall that be to me; for we are not anxious as to men's judgment, but our judgment is with the living God. If the preacher truly declares the word of God, woe unto the man who sits in judgment upon it: this same word shall judge him at the last great day. We stand at the bar to be tried by God's word, and searched, and sifted; but woe unto us if, rejecting every pretence of meekness, we ascend the tribunal, and summon God Himself before us. His message must be received with teachableness of mind. When you know it is God's word, it may upbraid you, but you must receive it with meekness. It may startle you with its denunciations: but receive it with meekness. It may be, there is something about the truth which at the first blush does not commend itself to your understanding; it is perhaps too high, too terrible, too deep; receive it with meekness.Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye cannot enter into the kingdom of heaven. The door of heaven is open to those who sit at Jesus' feet, and learn of him. Thou art not his servant unless he is thy Master. Thou canst not be said to be his disciple if thou dost question his teaching; for in the questioning of Christ's teaching lies the rejection of his Person. To doubt Jesus is treason against the authority he claims over every human heart, Receive with meekness if you would be blessed with grace. What is this which is to be received? "Receive with meekness engrafted word." We are not bidden to receive with meekness men's words for they are many, and there is little in them; but receive with meekness God's word, for it is one, and there is power in each word which proceedeth out of His mouth. One word of God created the heavens and the earth; by the word of God the heavens still stand; one word of His shall ere long shake act only earth but also heaven; therefore, hear with meekness that word; that word which testifies of sin, and of its sure punishment; that word which testifies of grace most large and free, and of an atonement provided by the Only Begotten Son of the Father, by which sin is put away in consistency with justice and holiness. Receive with meekness the word of the Lord in its entirety and unity. Reject no part of it but receive the whole.

III. Lastly, and very briefly, let us think of AFTER SERMON. "Be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves" James 1:22. First, the command is positive-"Be ye doers of the word." Oh, dear sirs, I come to this pulpit oftentimes and speak with you, but as I come hither my heart is more and more burdened with this desire: that mine may not be an unprofitable ministry unto you. I shall be useless to you unless you are doers of the word as well as hearers. Sirs, ye have heard about repentance and the putting away of filthiness: repent, then, and let your filthiness be put away. May God the
Holy Ghost lead you to do so-not to hear about it, but do it. Ye have heard us preach continually concerning faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you know all about believing; but have you believed? Sirs, have you believed? If not, to what avail is it for us to cry, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved" Acts 16:31? We are to admonish you concerning all those blessed duties which spring out of that living faith which works by love; but it is nothing to hear about these virtues unless you possess them. The text closes with this solemn word: "deceiving your own selves." Whereupon says Bishop Brownrig, "To deceive is bad, to deceive yourselves is worse, to deceive yourselves about your souls is worst of all." Alas! there are many in that sad condition. God grant to each one of us that when we go home we may attend to the doing of the sermon. You know the old story; I am half ashamed to repeat it again, but it is so pat to the point. When Donald came out of kirk sooner than usual, Sandy said to him, "What, Donald, is the sermon all done?" "No," said Donald, "it is all said, but it is not begun to be done yet." Let my sermon be done in your chambers by prayer, and in your lives by holiness. Let it be done all through the week by our each one seeking to put away all filthiness. Let us cling to the holy Christ, desiring to live his life, and breathe his spirit. God grant it may be so with you all, for Jesus Christ's sake.

Dear All,
WEBOMETRICS just released its December 2015 ranking of Top 2000 Universities in the world based on their Google Scholar Citation profiles[First Edition (December 2015)].
It is my pleasure to inform you that UNN came 1st in Nigeria, 14th in Africa and 1389th in the world. As a matter of fact, less than 30 African Universities were ranked. Also, only UNN and University Ibadan were ranked from Nigeria, a pointer to the overall poor quality of academic publications from most Nigerian universities.
Hence, our collective efforts are paying off and UNN is now counted amongst the best in the world. We are now reaping the dividends of increased publications by UNN staff in high impact and visible journals. However, we are still a long way from getting into the top five in Africa. But it is achievable, if we intensity our publications in high impact visible journals that can be accessed and cited from all over the world.

A summary of the ranking as it concerns Africa is:

Lalasticlala, do the needful

st passing but let me add something.


when science talk about life somewhere else, they are not possibly looking for human being or complex animals or beings.


When we have water, plant and other basic forms of life, then science say there is life in that planet or place. because if water exist, plants can grow, micro organisms and other forms of life exists.


so lets stop thinking too far and weird.

David Mark may loose that sit. Who knows

Creating human being is far from possibility . science is yet to solve fundamental problems that could lead to creating human beings.

Good: sell it. #wewantourmoneyback

Niyinficient:
When u will not calm down and read thoroughly cos of the hate u want to spit...go and read again...it's not meant for those in covenant and landmark university alone, it's d scholarship that will b in these schools. well, people like u hu can't read and digest simple info ain't eligible to apply.

the person that reads and understand what did u just conclude. the op said "PARTICIPATING INSTITUTIONS".?? don't u get it?

Good. but why must it be for those in covenant and landmark university?

how many of his church members are in that school?

something is wrong somewhere .

steve1nder:
Would u love me to tell you his name...he is currently lecturing there...d following year a lady whom during her final year got pregnant also ended up graduating with 1.1 ....just so u still doubting..its a hard course but not an impossible one.

oga drop the name Abeg. I want to know him. And the set sir.

DeeTus:
Lol. OP, do you study Physics at UNN? Is Professor Asomba still there?

yes sir. He is still there.

Naff24:
OP.... U lack manner of approach, what good for u may be bad for others, so we need medical checkup if we don't laugh to ur yeye pishure u posted up there

Nigga....U are a baboon, I guess that's how miserable ur life is presently simply bcz u studied physics & astronomy for your info.... my cousin graduated from that school and same department with 2.1 grade yet, his life is meaningful than urs

Do you think at all? it's a joke. meanwhile your cousin is your cousin and I remain my humble self.

daretodiffer:
It is not something to be proud of

Why is it so difficult to recognise a joke?? some brain eh, need divine touch

toniacan:
My cousin studied the same course in UNN and graduated with a first class.

you dey lie eh. which set Abeg. Physics hardly produce first class, unlike mech Eng and Electronics that dish out first class like say Na food

Source Anyway, did T.B Joshua predict that? if no, Adoblivit
