Read your Bible again. so you don't eat rabbits too? because that was in that same scripture. You can also read Acts 10 for more clarifications

sad Even though I'm a born again Christian , I will encourage we Christians to emulate our Muslim brothers and sisters by abstaining from that filthy animal called pig. The bible warns we Christian to abstain from consumption of pig in Deuteronomy 14:8. Any Christian that consumes pork meat will end up in Hell sad

Travel / Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 12 by Pasblack(m): 2:13am On Jul 22, 2017
A journey I was forced to take..... about 3yrs ago, my who was so keen about me coming over to the usa forced to apply to the same school who got admitted to and I obliged. Since it was not my own plan, I paid application fee and did not send my transcript till a year later after which I wrote the school to waive TOEFL for me because in addition to my first decree, I have obtained a professional diploma but the school rejected by saying I had finished the program over 2years and as such my proficiency in English needs to be proved (as if I don forget how to speak the language over time).
I enrolled for TOEFL then on the day of the exams, I was not allowed to write the exams because I had an expired International passport. I was so pained and frustrated (at this time, I already developed interest in schooling abroad). I decided I was going to renew my passport then re-enrolled. I however wrote the school requesting them to tick transcript as received on my account checklist on their site. that was wen another person responded to my mail and told me he has received the transcript and having gone through it he has decided to push for TOEFL waiver for me....which he did (first miracle).
I was admitted by the school and I booked appointment at the embassy (21/7/2017). I discovered after booking that my current place of work(as filled in DS-160 does not really relate to the program I'm going for and that gave me a lot of fear. So I started praying about it.
prepared the best I can then I went for the interview yesterday at 6:30

Went through all the checks but I think there was an issue with my ds-160 because after the biometrics, others were told to keep all other docs expect their passport and I-20 but in my case I was told to hold on to it as other checks I have passed thru have been looking at the same form for too long than necessary. Eventually assigned to window 2, 'a black american'. She approved only one person before me (trust me, over 12 people were ahead of me) I was so nervous and scared........

VO: good morning
me: good morning ma, (passing her my passport and form I-20 before she asked)
VO: after scanning my passport, please pass me your ds 160
Me: gave it to her (and she scanned too)
VO: I see you are going for ur masters in Geographic information science and cartography at Eastern Illinois University
Me: yes ma
VO: tell me the process of application
Me: I saw the programme I was interested in, Paid application fee, sent in my official transcript and then wrote my statement of purpose(trust me I was not that eloquent because of fear)
VO: how many exams did you write?
Me: None, they were all waived for me
VO: you mean you didnt write either GRE or TOEFL?
Me: waived
VO: how many schools did you apply to?
Me: just one, though I considered University of Maryland, Baltimore but I eventually applied to just EIU.
VO: how many unit course is required for your graduation
Me: 32
VO: can u mention some of the core courses?
Me: remote sensing, introduction to GIS, landscape ecology, accounting (den I wen blank) so I said and some other courses I cant remember right now
VO: how does your current work relate to your study and how will it help you
Me: (knowing so well that they do not relate at all, I had to cook something up) I was employed for a project in this company. we were to develop a map showing all telecomms mast managed by my company in the country, noting their distances to each other, the peculiarity of each of the sites etc. then after the project, I was en grafted into the system as 'diesel logistics' (which by the way is exactly what I do)
VO: what do you intend doing after this programme?
Me: I intend setting up a consultancy firm....because where I worked before, we contract some jobs because we couldnt handle them but with my first decree background in urban and regional planning and a professional science masters in GIS, I will be well grounded in getting required data analysed then used for planning purpose
VO: who is your sponsor
Me: my cousin and my sister (was expecting her to say where does she work but she didnt ask)
VO: hands over my form I-20....keep this very well as you will be needing it at POE then asked, u want to pick your passport up at ISOLO
Me; yes....thanks



no document was checked.....I see the hand of God in this......wishing others best of grace.

Politics / Religious Zombism by Pasblack(m): 7:00pm On Mar 11, 2015
The adoption of the incumbent President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, President Ebere Goodluck Jonathan, as against his major contender, Gen Muhammed Buhari (rtd), has been nothing based on quality performance of the presidency but sentiments: ethnic, religious, educational and some others that do not come to mind readily. Of all the different sentiments I have heard, the religion coming to play, perhaps to me, sounds the most awkward as my people in the Christendom have circulated a CD tape suggesting that the retired general and the APC want to Islamise the country. As a result, the church has opted to help God by foiling the supposed plan of the General and his party.
Considering an incident in the Bible, the saints in the case of Nigeria have got it wrong. It is recorded that the people of Israel were bringing back the ark of God to its rightful place, the carriers stumbled and the ark was about fall. At that point, an individual tried to support the ark that it might not fall; but he was instantly struck dead by God. Christians in Nigeria are about to take same overzealous action of helping God by pledging support for a somewhat imcompetent president all in the name of not making power stumble in the hands of an ‘unbeliever’. The battle is the Lord's and not ours. I wonder why we should try to help God fight His battle. What is expected of us as good citizens will be to vote based on credibility and not on religious sentiments as it were. Need I also remind the ‘saints’ of Proverbs 29:2? "When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn". Can we say that the nation is in a state of rejoicing at the moment? Absolutely no! Note that the Bible in the scripture says “the righteous” and not “the Christian" or " the born again” as a matter of fact. This means that irrespective of religion, being righteous is the criteria for ruling a country well; an attribute the President is far from possessing.
With a critical passage through the Nigeria electoral history, no party has played the worst religious card than this present leadership. Christians are blindly supporting the incumbent not for progress but out of zombism of their religious leaders who have dined on the platter of corruption with politicians whom they can no longer scold or show the right path if they deviate. Hence the saying, "if you cannot beat them, you join them". The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has lost its relevance and worth in the society. It is now somewhat a pressure group associated with arms smuggling, money laundering, bribery among others. The Christian society needs to shamefully bury its heads in the sand courtesy the 7 billion naira scam it has associated itself with. It is clearly evident today that the Church in Nigeria, has lost its essence and purpose. The Church has gone real cold and lacks welfare system of her flocks, abandoning them to the gnashing of teeth in suffering. Little wonder why the faith flourishes so also poverty in the church. The Church trend today is the number of personal private jets for the ministry, ordaining future political leaders and public holders and gaining top rank in the world list of richest pastors. Simplicity is a sin as the shepherds would take the horse instead of the donkey. So I ask myself “What would Jesus do if he were these present day pastors?" Hilarious things are happening and like 'Baba 70' would say, “through Jesus Christ, our Lord – this na wonderfulment...."
So bad, we forget or don’t know that President Goodluck Jonathan led a delegate to an IOC meeting. But during Buhari's regime in the 80’s, he rejected an offered membership of Nigeria into IOC even though his deputy, Idiagbo was a devoted muslim too. Buhari had his flaws but it hurts so much to play the religious card against him. It is quite ironical that it is PDP that has clearly taken advantage of the zombism of Nigerians in the sphere of religion. There is a viral video of the Vice President, Namadi Sambo accusing the APC of being largely dominated by Christians and PDP by Muslims. People should ask themselves what is the relevance of such campaign strategy? Is it not crystal clear that Nigerians are highly religious with no sense of direction but from their religious leaders? Thus, it is quite simple that if you can control the minds and the hearts of the people through the man or servant of God, then the zombies will adhere. This is the new indirect rule and it is worse because the victims believe the orders is from the highest power or supreme being. There is a great need to separate religion and state distinctively.
However it will be fair to look at the religious propaganda objectively and ask why the Sharia law is part of the constitution. I don’t think the Sharia law needs to be a part of the constitution for it to be used amongst the devoted Muslims. These are major matters of concerns that a person like Buhari should be asked and how it might or will affect the state of the nation especially her judiciary.
We should also bear in mind that God can choose to make use of anybody of any religion. King Cyrus according to Isaiah 45 in the Bible was not a believer yet God chose to make use of him to subdue nations who are the enemies of Israel.
Like King Saul in the Bible, President Jonathan who is perceived to be the anointed of the Lord to rule Nigeria in 2011 has been rejected for obvious reasons similar to that of his counterpart in the Bible. One of the offences of King Saul was visiting a soothsayer (a witch) for divination. This is a similar situation President Jonathan finds himself in Nigeria having being openly adopted by the National Association of Witches and Wizards of Nigeria as their candidate in September 2014 against the 2015 elections. What relationship exists between darkness and light? I therefore wonder why my fellow Christians would want to give full support to him whom God seems to have rejected.
On a final note, His (God's) ways are not our ways. He says, “for as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts”. We should therefore shun every form of sentiments perhaps greed and for once do what is right, vote out a president who has not performed in all ramifications. So when next you want to tell why a candidate should be voted for, you know what you ought not to say.

Does anybody feel Jonathan went there because he deemed it necessary or important? He actually went there because of his campaign coming up soon in the region and because he needed the people to vote for him in the Forthcoming election.... I'm not fooled, will still vote Buhari come February 14...peace

Just a security

Note: he is no longer the speaker, so he is no longer entitled to those
security details. he lost the entitlement the day he decamped from the
party on whose platform he was elected as a parliamenterian in the first
place, before becoming the speaker. so that singular act of defecting,
has made him loose everything.

the Presidency, dosnt need a court action before it could do the
needful, because the constitution is so clear. Tambuwal is no longer a MEMBER of the House of Assembly, let alone its SPEAKER. because he
has defected.

If Tambuwal is principled as he want Nigerians to believe,he should be honest enough to resign the Speakership. Tanbuwal as a Lawyer knows the provisions of the 1999 Constitution. He cannot eat his cake and have a penny! Tambuwal should be honest with himself. APC as a party can never take it and APC should not expect PDP to accept it. How can the opposition preside in a House where the ruling party is in the majority? Haba,Nigerians should be honest!!
the constitution doesn't state that the party with d majority should provide the speak...it's a matter of vote by 2/3 of the haus
