The Edo State masses are warning up for today's LG polls. We are seriously waiting in patience to once gain exercise our franchise and choose who will represent us in our various wards and local goverments. One question that is popping up at this point in time is, WILL IT BE A FRUTILE WAITING AND WARMING UP OF THE ELECTORATE? This question is being asked because, right about now, voting materials have not left Benin City, the state capital to various Local Goverment Areas not to talk of each wards and polling unit. The state INEC chairman while answering questions from press men said, he has not seen the materials as all materials have been diverted to the goverment house instead of the state INEC office. Is this a delibrate act to fustrate the electorate? Is our comrade governor about going against his policy of ONE MAN, ONE VOTE?

We may say we love the Lord because he is our Saviour, but the truth is we don’t like him.

In many respects, the bible is a book of prophecies. God says in the scriptures: “Don’t forget the many times I clearly told you what was going to happen in the future. For I am God- I only- and there is no other like me who can tellyou what is going to happen. All I say will come to pass, for I do whatever I wish.” (Isaiah 46:9-10).

Even some of the historical situations presented in the scriptures are prophetic. Therefore, they are fulfilled again and again. For example, the persecution of Isaac by his brother Ishmael is re-enacted in the persecution of Joseph by his brothers, and repeated in the persecution of David by his brothers, and again replicated in the persecution of Jesus by his brothers. Furthermore, the process continues today in the persecution of true believers by pretender Christians.

Prophetic Christians

Since the true believer is created in the image and likeness of Christ, our identity is in the word of God. All we need to do is search the scriptures in order to determine what manner of men we are and what the future holds. This is because the bible does not merely predict the birth, life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It also foretells the birth, growthand development of the church of Christ.

It is the prophetic revelation about Christians that is of particular interest here. The scriptures indicate that Christians will not like Christ. The church in the wilderness rejected Moses. The Israelites rejected the prophets. The Jews rejected Jesus. Christians will reject the word of God.

God said to Ezekiel: “I am sending you to the peopleof Israel with my messages. I am not sending you to some far-off foreign land whereyou can’t understand the language- no, not to tribes with strange, difficult tongues. (If I did, they would listen!) I am sending you to the peopleof Israel, and they won’t listen to you any more than they listen to me! Forthe whole lot of them are hard, impudent, and stubborn.” (Ezekiel 3:4-7).

Indeed, the scriptures detail not so much how Jesus is hated by men, as how he is hated by his own people. John says: “He came to his own, and his own did not receive him.” (John 1:11). That statement is prophetic. Today, Christians are supposedly the people of God; so the scripture now applies to us. It means Christians will not receiveChrist. Jesus himself observes that: “A prophet is not without honor except in his own country and in his own house.” (Matthew 13:57).

Christian animosity

Most Christians don’t like the Jesus of the bible. We may say we love the Lord because he is our Saviour,but the truth is we don’t like him. “Why don’t you like me?” asks God? “What did I do to drive you away?” “What iniquity did you find in me that turned you against me?” (Jeremiah 2:5). “Hear, O you mountains, the LORD’S complaint, and you strongfoundations of the earth; for the LORD has a complaint against his people, and he will contend with Israel. ‘O Mypeople, what have I done to you? And how have I wearied you? Testify against Me.’” (Micah 6:2-3).

Moses says God created man in his own image. However, George Bernard Shaw was right when he said: “We have decided toreturn the favor.” We have created God in our own image. God says again prophetically: “These things you have done, and I kept silent; you thought that I was altogether like you.” (Psalm 50:21).

Christians don’t really likethe God that is revealed inJesus Christ. Therefore, we contradict him at every turn. We don’t want the God who insists we should love our enemies. (Matthew 5:44-45). We prefer a Godwho sends the fire of the Holy Ghost to destroy our enemies. We don’t want the God who says those who use the sword will be killed by the sword. (Matthew 26:52). We prefer a God who will be on our side when we go to war. We do not like theGod who says we should turn the other cheek. (Luke 6:29). We prefer the God who gives an eye for an eye. We don’t wantthe God who desires mercy. (Matthew 9:13). We prefer a God who exacts infinite punishment on limited sin.

The God revealed in Christis far too demanding for us. He wants everything we have. (Luke 14:33). But Christians prefer a God that only requires a tithe. We don’t like the God in Christ who regardsmen and women as equals. We prefer the Mountain of Fire and Miracles God who legislates that women must not wear trousers. We don’t like the God in Christ who says we should bless those who curse us. (Matthew 5:44). We prefer the God of David Oyedepo who curses his opponents.

Christians don’t like the Jesus who was born in poor and humble circumstances. We prefer the Jesus of our mega-pastors who flies around in jet-planes and even establishes his own airline. We don’t like the Jesus who did not go to school and get a formal education. (John 7:15-16). We prefer the Jesus of Chris Oyakhilome who boasts of his PhD. We prefer the God who establishes church universities where good money is made by collecting high fees.

New improved Jesus

Indeed, the real Jesus of Nazareth has become so offensive to Christians that we have created a new improved Jesus moreto our liking. This new Jesus is no longer poor, meek and lowly. But according to some, including such eminent evangelists as Oral Roberts and John Avanzini, he is a rich man who wears “designer clothes.” Jesse Duplantis and others even claim the donkey Jesus rode in humility into Jerusalem was a brand-new “Continental Donkey;” thereby ascribing to it thesame status as today’s Cadillac.

Jesus has been given a spiritual makeover. He is no longer physically ugly according to prophecy: “He has no form or comeliness; and when wesee him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.” (Isaiah 53:2). The modern-day Jesus is very handsome. He is not even Middle-Eastern any longer: he is European and blue-eyed. In effect, we have fulfilled the prophecy which says of the true Jesus: “He is despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from him; he was despised, and we did not esteem Him.” (Isaiah 53:3).

But even more than the fact that we don’t like Jesus personally, we certainly don’t like his doctrine. We don’t like his insistence that we must deny ourselves and take up our cross in order to follow him. (Matthew 16:24). We don’t like his requirement that we haveto lose our life in order to save it. (Mark 8:35). We don’t heed his warning that we should not be worldly but should be hated by the world. (John 15:18-20). We don’t obey his injunction not to have any other father but God. (Matthew 23:9). We don’tagree with him that it is impossible for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God. (Matthew 19:24).

I did not tune in on time though I can single out this particular question he refused to answer. when he was Asked his views on the fact that Nigeria was ranked 2nd most corrupt country in d world by transperency international, he refused to say anything on that but instead spoke about privatisation.

5o years after independence , we are still talking about zoning? Is reflective of the fact that Nigeria still wallows in a stateof medicinal statism, cankerous tribalism, egocentric chauvinism, syphilitic parochialism, epileptic nepotism, catalytic kparapoism and state brigandish of the bluest dile""""" Hon Patrick Obahiagbon on state of Nigeria nation

If you know any that is different, drop it.

Respectfully and Respectively:
The two words – respectfully and respectively are not synonyms. They are liable to be confused because they both have ‘respect’ and ‘-ly’ ending in their word formation. Please note that respectfully means ‘with respect’; respectively means ‘in the order given’.
Examples
I have three girls: Dayo, Seun and Bisola, aged 23, 19 and 14 respectively.
He listened to the elders respectfully.
The actors respectfully greeted the audience.
Remains and Relics:
There is a strong resemblance in the meaning of remains and relics. Remains signifies ‘what remains’. Relics, from the Latin ‘relinquere’, ‘to leave’, ‘what is left…’ What remains after other parts have been used or consumed is termed remains. Thus the two words express ‘what is left’.
There is, however, a distinction in the application of the two words. ‘Remains’ is of general and familiar application; relic or relics is specific. ‘Remains’ is used as in the remains of a person (dead body i.e mortal remains), the remains of a meal/chicken/clothes/medicines.
‘Remains’ is also used of old buildings or of buildings mostly after a conflagration. What is leftof anything after a lapse of years is the relic or relics. A relic is a historical object and reminder of the past. There are relics of antiquity in the museum, most monasteries and oldchurches.
‘Relics’ is also used to denote ‘a part of the body or clothes or possessions of holy person kept after his/her death as something to be deeply respected’. Sometimes, the term ‘relics’ is used to mean what remains after the decay or loss of the rest.
Rest – Remainder and Remnant
All these words – rest, remainder and remnant – express ‘that part which is separated from the other’. You can say ‘the rest’ when speaking about ‘who or what remains from an original total’.
Remainder signifies what remains after the first part is gone. It is used in amore formal context than the rest. It is usually expressed as the remainder to denote ‘the remaining people, things or time’.
Note that ‘the rest is said of any part, large or small;but the remainder commonly regards the smaller part which has been left after the greater part has been taken’. ‘What is left’ or ‘what remains’ can also be referred to as the remnants e.g. remnants ofa meal/of a man’s clothes.Leftovers are ‘food remaining at the end of a meal’.
Examples: The first question was difficult but the rest were easy.
We saw a few remnants of furniture and household goods in the building. Add your own and lets roll.

Ramcie: What's your source We need a link to the source . Also he is increasing tuition fee because students like you who can't spell need help. you spelt his name wrongly you know!

then correct the wrong spelt name.

Reports and rumour around Ambrose Alli University Campus, Edo State owned university is that, the comrade Governor, Adams Aliu Oshomhole is planning to increase the tuition fee at the beginning of the 2012/2013 session from #45, 000 to #120,000. It has also been gathered that the newly elected SUG, through their president are trying to negotiate and see if if can be increased to #80,000. Source: PA to the SUG pres. It will be recalled that prior to the beginning of the 2009/2010 accademic session, the school fees was increased by the same governor from #18,000 to #60,00 but was later reduced by the same governor at the beginning of 2011/2012 accademic session from #60,000 to #45,000.

Just thinking though and I also want to know the view of everyone. Out of 6 matches against Chelsea, he has scored 5 goals.
