I however observed that my mtn acct balance reduced

Hi @ademlabi,

Can we talk. I sent you a mail but have not got your response yet.

I would like to know more about the Iveco/Man Diesel Tipper trucks.

Thanks

Please,

What is the cost of getting a 20/30 ton 10 wheeler tokunbo (first grade) Man Diesel tipper truck?

What's the same price for an Iveco of the same specifications?

Your prompt response will be highly appreciated.

Hello Brother Kola. Been trying your number for the past 2 days but couldn't get through to you.
There is something I need to tell you. When I looked round your room and could not not locate all
the Indomie packs where you normally keep them, I then decided to look into your cupboard. I saw
some papers and I had no choice but to eat them.

Hmmmm...I think there was something like 'NYSC Certificate' or so written on one of them. Wetin be
the name of the other one wey I chop sef o......e be like say na cheque book....infact, any which way
sha, I don chop all the documents wey dey there. I just say make I inform you.
Abeg when u wake up hear my voicemail, call me back

Well said people. It's really amazing the doctrinal/scriptural scarcity that has pervaded the church of today. Where are the 'Berean Christians' who would go back and search for themselves if what their pastor said is true? Really heartbreaking! Been a while since I heard a message on fruit of the spirit, gifts of the spirit, Christian discipline and the like. Even Paul admonished Timothy to give attendance to reading, exhortation and doctrine. These are the weightier issues. Really sad I tell you.

Was watching the TV with a young guy today and one popular 'pastor' renown for working miracles was on air. The guy was visibly excited and kept saying 'powerful man of God'. I had to caution the young man that despite the fact that I believe in miracles, that is not what primarily makes one a powerful man of God. Even demons perform miracles.

Jesus said in the last days, many will come to me saying in your name I did this and that. He would tell them, 'I NEVER KNEW YOU.' Not that He knew them before and stopped knowing them......rather, He NEVER knew them! I really long for those school-like fellowship settings we used to have back then. There was simplicity, sincerity and labour in God's word. I know I still have A LOT to do as well in labouring in the Word. God help us.

I got this from someone and I think it makes good reading.....

Nigeria Exports Religion, India Exports Cars.The biggest country in Africa that the United Kingdom colonised is Nigeria. The biggest country that the United Kingdom colonised in Asia is India (which then comprised the present Pakistan and Bangladesh).

When the UK came into Nigeria and India, like all other countries they colonised, they brought along their technology, religion (Christianity), and culture: names, dressing, food, and language, among others. Try as hard as the British did, India rejected the British religion, names, dressing, food, and even language, but they did not reject the British technology. Today, 80.5 per cent of Indians are Hindus; 13.4 per cent Muslims; 2.3 per cent Christians; 1.9 per cent Sikhs; 0.8 per cent Buddhists, among others. Hindi is the official language of the government of India, but English is used extensively in business and administration and has the status of a “subsidiary official language.” Interestingly, it is rare to find an Indian with an English name or dressed in suit.

On the other hand, Nigeria embraced, to a large extent, the British religion, British culture – names, dressing, foods, and language – but, ironically, rejected the British technology. The difference between the Nigerian and the Indian experiences is that while India is proud of its heritage, Nigeria takes little pride in its own heritage, a situation that has affected the nationalism of Nigerians and our development as a nation.

Before the advent of Christianity, the Arabs had brought Islam into Nigeria through the North. Islam also wiped away much of the culture of Northern Nigeria. Today, the North has only Sharia courts but no Customary courts. So from the North to the South of Nigeria, the Western World and the Eastern World have shaped our lives to be like theirs and we have lost much or all of our identity.Long after the Whites and Arabs left Nigeria, Nigeria has waxed strong in religion to the extent that Nigerians now set up branches of their home-grown churches in Europe, the Americas, Asia and other African countries. Just like the Whites brought the gospel to us, Nigerians now take the gospel back to the Whites. In Islam, we are also very vibrant to the extent that if there is a blasphemous comment against Islam in Denmark or the US, even if there is no violent reaction in Saudi Arabia, the Islamic headquarters of the world, there will be loss of lives and destruction of property in Nigeria. If the United Arab Emirates, a country with 75 per cent Muslims, is erecting the tallest building in the world and encouraging the world to come and invest in its territory by providing a friendly environment, Boko Haram ensures that the economy of the North (and by extension that of Nigeria) is crippled with bombs and bullets unless every Nigerian converts to Boko Haram’s brand of Islam. We are indeed a very religious people. Meanwhile, as we are building the biggest churches and mosques, the Indians, South Africans, Chinese, Europeans and Americans have taken over our key markets: telecoms, satellite TV, multinationals, banking, oil and gas, automobile, aviation, and hospitality industries among others.

Ironically, despite our exploits in religion, we are a people with little godliness, a people without scruples. It is rare to do business with a Nigerian pastor, deacon, knight, elder, brother, sister, imam, mullah, mallam, alhaji or alhaja without the person laying landmines of bribes and deception on your path. We call it PR, facilitation fee, processing fee, transport money, financial engineering, deal, or whatever. But if it does not change hands, no show. And when it is amassed, we say it is “God’s blessings.” Some people assume that sleaze is a problem of public functionaries, but the private sector seems to be worse than the public sector these days.One would have assumed that the more churches and mosques that spring up in every nook and cranny of Nigeria, the higher the morals in our society. But it is not so. The situation is that the more religious we get, the baser we become. Our land never knew the type of bloodshed experienced from religious extremists, political desperadoes, ritual killers, armed robbers, kidnappers, internet scammers, university cultists, and lynch mobs. Life has become so cheap and brutish that everyday seems to be a bonanza.

We import petrol even when we have crude oil in abundance. We also import rice and beans that our land can produce in abundance. We even import toothpicks that primary school children can produce with little or no effort. Yet, we drive the best of cars and live in the best of edifices, visit the best places in the world for holidays and use the most expensive electronic and telecoms gadgets. It is now a sign of poverty for a Nigerian to ride a saloon car. Four-wheel drive vehicles are the in thing. Even government officials, who were known to use only Peugeot products as official cars as a sign of modesty, have upgraded to Toyota Prado as official vehicle without any iota of shame, in a country where about 70 per cent live below poverty line. Private jets have become as common as cars. A nation that imports toothpicks and pins flaunts wealth and wallows in ostentation at a time its children are trooping to Ghana, South Africa and the UK for university education and its sick people are running to India for treatment.India produces automobile and exports it to the world. India’s medical care is second to none, with even Americans and Europeans travelling to the country for medical treatment. India has joined the nuclear powers nations. India has launched a successful mission to the moon. Yet bicycles and tricycles are common sights in India. But in Nigeria, only the wretched of the earth ride bicycles.

I have intentionally chosen to compare Nigeria with India rather than China, South Korea, Brazil, Malaysia, or Singapore, because of the similarities between India and Nigeria. But these countries were not as promising as Nigeria at the time of our independence.

Some would say that our undoing is our size: the 2012 United Nations estimate puts Nigeria’s population at 166,000 million, while India has a population of 1.2 billion. Some would blame it on the multiplicity of ethnic groups: we have 250 ethnic groups, India has more than 2,000. Some would hang it on the diversity in religion: we have two major religions — Christianity and Islam; but India has many. Some would say it is because we are young as an independent nation: we have 52 years of independence; India has 65 years. Apartheid ended in South Africa only in 1994.

I am a Christian, and nothing can change me from Christianity. But I think that our country is daily sinking into religiosity to the detriment of godliness. Our land is sick and needs healing. “If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves, and pray and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land” is still a saying that is germane to our current situation. We need more godliness than religion; more work and less of hope; and more action and less of words.Let everyone tidy up his or her corner first and demand fervently that our leaders tidy their areas of governance. Our nation is degenerating at a fast pace and we need to save it now or it may be too late

Hello folks.

Each time you log on to the internet, which 3(or more) are your "can't do without visiting sites" and why? Please share with us as you may be educating/exposing some of us to new interesting sites.

For me:

1. YAHOOMAIL.COM - To check my mails (obviously).
2. SAHARAREPORTERS.COM - They give you the news as it is, caring less whose ox is gored.
3. NAIRALAND.COM - Where else can one get news, education, intellectual interaction & of course a bit of bashing all on one site. (In fact, I'm getting set for one already.)

Okay people, let's hear yours.

Soft copy please: bukolajayi@yahoo.com

Thank you.

A top security source in Kano has informed SaharaReporters that a group claiming to be an affiliate of Jama'atu Ahlis sunna Lida'awati wal ihad (popularly called Boko Haram) has threatened to bomb Cool FM 96.9, a radio station based in Kano, the capital of Kano State. The sect, which identified itself as Jama'atul Qatlul Kafir fi Sabilillahi, reportedly accused the radio station of being pro-Christian and anti-Islam.

SaharaReporters learnt that the sect dispatched a letter to the broadcaster accusing it of blaspheming Prophet Muhammad.

Our source, who is an official of the State Security Service (SSS), said his agency as well as other security agencies had started investigating the authenticity of the sect as well as the background of spokesman, Jaid Qariq Usman. Mr. Usman signed the letter that was sent to the station.

“We are working to establish if the sect truly exists so as to avoid a repeat of the January, 2012 attacks in which hundreds of people were killed in Kano,” said our source. He added that the agencies were working hard and had taken the threat letter seriously. “I cannot say much more in order not to jeopardize our investigations,” the source told our correspondent.

An official of the radio station made the text of the letter available to SaharaReporters. The highly ungrammatical letter is reproduced below, unedited:

“As we embark on fresh attacks to commemorate the insult done to our beloved Prophet Muhammad (SWT) .This is hereby warning you/alerting your station that you might be affected due to some disregard attitudes towards Islam and our people. Reports came to us that your stations are Christian inclined and we made our investigations to ascertaining that.

There are some people among you that fall in our target list as we noted their CAN membership and they shall expect our wrath in a short-while, but for now.

We warn you. We also forewarn our Muslim brothers in the station not to be involved in any act of offence to Islam and that they should limit their movements into the stations to avoid being affected.

We once again commend the jihad of our brothers in Libya that killed an American envoy and some non Muslims; It is indeed an act worthy of commendation and adoption.”

Sorry I noticed a mistake in the VIN I posted.

It's actually 2HKYF18513H532386.

Thanks.

Hello sir.

Could you please help check this VIN: 2HKYFI85I3H532386.

Thanks so much.

Thank you brother.

Grace to you.

The article is attached and your feedback is highly welcome.
Cheers.

Attached is an article I wrote about tithes.

I hope you find time to go through it. Cheers.

LYRICS
"In Christ Alone"

In Christ alone my hope is found,
He is my light, my strength, my song;
this Cornerstone, this solid Ground,
firm through the fiercest drought and storm.
What heights of love, what depths of peace,
when fears are stilled, when strivings cease!
My Comforter, my All in All,
here in the love of Christ I stand.

In Christ alone! who took on flesh
Fulness of God in helpless babe!
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones he came to save:
Till on that cross as Jesus died,
The wrath of God was satisfied -
For every sin on Him was laid;
Here in the death of Christ I live.

There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain:
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave he rose again!
And as He stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost its grip on me,
For I am His and He is mine -
Bought with the precious blood of Christ.

No guilt in life, no fear in death,
This is the power of Christ in me;
From life's first cry to final breath.
Jesus commands my destiny.
No power of hell, no scheme of man,
Can ever pluck me from His hand;
Till He returns or calls me home,
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand.

stepo707: Its out already.You mean you have haven't seen the adverts?

Rily? Pls fill me in.I go like watch dat film o.

I'm almost sure Nollywood will come up with a movie about this drama soon - and with an interesting title too.

A certain rich businessman had a beautiful daughter, who fell inlove with a guy who was a Cleaner.
When the girl's father came to know about their love, he did not like it at all and so, began to protest about it.

Now it happened that the two lovers decided to leave their homes for a happy future. The girl's father started searching for the two lovers but could not find them. At last, he accepted their love and asked them to come back home in a local newspaper. Her father said, "If you both come back I will allow you to marry the guy you love; I accept that you loved each other truly." So in this way, their love won and they returned home.

The couple went to town to shop for the wedding dress. The fiancé was dressed in a white shirt that day. While he was crossing the road to the other side to get some drinks for his fiancée, a car came and hit him and he died on the spot; the fiancée lost her senses. It was only after sometime that she recovered from her shock.The funeral and cremation was the very next day because he had died horribly.

Two nights later, the girl's mother had a dream in which she saw an old lady. The old lady asked her mother to wash the blood stains of the guy from her daughter's dress as soon as possible. But her mother ignored the dream. The next night her father had the same dream, he also ignored it.

Then when the girl had the same dream the next night, she woke up in fear and told her mother about the dream. Her mother asked her to wash the clothes, which had the blood stains immediately.

She washed the stains but some remained. Next night she again had the same dream; she again washed the stains, but some still remained. Next night she again had the same dream and this time, the old lady gave her a last warning to wash the blood stain, or else something terrible would happen.
This time the girl tried her best to wash the stains and the clothes nearly tore, but some stains still remained. She was very tired.

In the late evening the same day while she was alone at home, someone knocked the door. When she opened the door, she saw that same old lady of her dream standing at her door. She got very scared and fainted.

The old lady woke her up and gave her a blue box, which shocked the girl. She asked "What is this...?"
The old lady replied...
