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.

You wont finish reading this cos of laughter.

Early this year The Chief of Staff, Edo
State Government House, Hon.
Patrick Obahiagbon made a new year
resolution that he will start speaking
pidgin, the year is still early and he
has already started his big
grammaer, he has reacted to
Nigerian/Chelsea midfielder, John
Mikel Obi’s CAF award loss, he
considers it……….well, whatever you
make of his speech.
Quote
“I am maniacally bewildered,
overgassted and flabberwhelmed at
the paraplegic crinkum crankum that
characterised the Glo CAF awards
culminating in an od oriferous saga
cum gargantuan gaga! The jiggery
pokery of CAF in crowning Yaya Toure
instead of our very own prodigy John
Obi Mikel is a veritable bugaboo
that must be pooh-poohed by all
compos mentis homo sapiens! The
perfidy and Mendacity of all the
apparatchic of sports suzerainty is
not only repugnant but also
insalubrious!
I said to my self: What an
anathematous disdain of the
citizenry! What a deprecable descent
from the sublime to the ridiculous!
Who will curb the odoriferous
excesses of this machavellian and
mephistophelean cabal in the
Confederation? With this state of
affairs, i dare say that African
football is swimming in a pestilential
aqua with a disastrious terminus ad
quem inherently laden with
avoidable cataracts, ice bergs and
oxbow Lakes. It is sardonic and
lugubrious!!!”

In Frank's voice. Let's play who wants to be a millionaire.

Flo: I like the twale song.

Mike Abdul: His Fuji's. I love his 'e gimme money.' Any song the Guy is featured is always dope.

Cobhams: Sweet writer, producer, promoter, singer.

I love other singers like Henrisoul, midnite crew, saintegs, Allyson, Nathaniel bassey, Tim Godfrey etc.

How many zeros are in googol?

Though it is simple.

Google has another new logo, but
can you spot the change? Hint -
it's nearly identical to its
predecessor.
The search giant’s latest corporate
logo has a tiny difference that’s
nearly imperceptible to the naked
eye.
Spacing in the second ‘g’ and the
‘l’ has been slightly tweaked to
give make it look more evenly
positioned for smaller screens,
according to a Google
spokesperson.
The letter ‘g’ has been moved one
pixel to the right.
And the ‘l’ has been moved one
pixel down and another to the
right.
Eagle-eyed Reddit users first
flagged the updated look Sunday.
Google did not publicize the
change as they sometimes have in
the past.
The look is much cleaner than the
search engine's original logo, but
not a major departure from its
predecessor.
The search giant did the alteration
in-house and claimed in a
statement to MailOnline that it has
a much bigger purpose than its
scale would imply.

The expressway system was
finally completed in 2007.

5. The Guoliang Tunnel

motorway for Germany,
Bundesautobahn (BAB)
translates to the federal way
for cars. Although 52 percent
of the BAB doesn't have a
speed limit,a top speed of 81
mph is recommended.
Due to the high speeds of most
of the vehicles traveling on the
autobahn, it is illegal to stop
unnecessarily on the motorway
— even if you run out of fuel.

2. Highway 401 is the
busiest in North
America.


Highway 401 , also known as
the Macdonald–Cartier
Freeway, is the busiest

The term "highway" may
conjure images of an endless,
unchanging road, dotted by
the same fast food restaurants
and gas stations every few
miles.
But just as automakers have
made endless variations of
vehicles, road builders have
come up with a lot of ways to
get from here to there.
These eleven highways from
all over the world are by turns
high speed, beautiful,
enormous, and deadly, and
they are all worth a drive.

1) The ringtone "Nokia tune" is
actually based on a 19th century
guitar work named "Gran Vals" by
Spanish musician Francisco Tárrega.
The Nokia Tune was originally named
"Grande Valse" on Nokia phones but

largest digital camera manufacturer,
as the sales of its camera-equipped
mobile phones have exceeded those
of any conventional camera
manufacturer.

(Except for Series 60 based handsets
like the Nokia 6600)

(Nokia backwards) by non-Nokia
mobile phone users and by mobile
