A lot of things still needs to be done in this country called Nigeria. But till it's done, I guess we just have to help ourselves.

It is the responsibility of Nigerians to always point it out every time, that's the only way to get it done. You should know that bridge was open for use in 1965, same year Singapore got her independence.

If you see there are no roads, what happens to waiting till you can conveniently overtake?

You are right, drivers should have more patience to minimise accidents. However, our roads need to be properly built to accommodate the level of traffic they experience.

hedonistic:
Overtaking should be outlawed. In my experience, most accidents are caused by overtaking in one form or the other. Either you're trying to overtake a vehicle or 'overtake' a pothole... Only to end up causing untold tragedy.

If only drivers could be more patient. The rate of accidents would reduce by 80% if every driver on the road stays on their own damn lane. Keeps to their damn right. It's really that simple. All this agidi forming, jumping from right to left hurrying to nowhere... It's really the devil using you.

The problem is that the roads are not properly built. With the level of traffic on these roads, there should be several lanes for drivers to overtake.

PrincewithGod:
Be careful so as not to blasphame against the Holy Spirit.

Blaspheme? How did we get there? I only ask why we should care what the Bible or any other book says. Again, why should anyone care what the Bible or any book for that matter say?

PrincewithGod:
Hebrews 11 vs 3: "Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear." Sometimes I wonder if catholics and their pope read the Bible at all.

And why should anyone care what the Bible and other book say?

jiddama:
You said it all. Ironically,they seem like a true rendition of a married couple that can't seem to find a common ground for divorce after decades toghether , the EU and UK both NEED each other...This brexit sham is just one big supremacy ego contest....

I doubt if the UK can get a better deal than what they voted on. The biggest challenge of Theresa May's deal was the Northern Ireland backstop, I don't think the EU will change their position on that and it will even be a violation of the good Friday agreement. Like every divorce, it will be messy, even the British PM cannot come to consensus on what a good deal should look like.

Richdad50:
If Brexit must happen, then it must be a hard Brexit. A total exit from Europe. Theresa wanted a Brexit that puts UK in the hands of bureaucratic Europe.
Britain must take its future now or forever be slaves to globalists and migration hawks. She never listened to Trump's advice on Brexit and now she is going to pay with her political future. Good riddance.

You can't eat your cake and have it.

CodeTemplar:
Just the same way some of the people encouraging the govt by paying tax can't afford 40k-50k federal university but that doesn't make the govt a bad one or a scam. Did the church say they are building the city for affordability sake of all? Just empty emotional outburst as expected. If anyone is too poor and wants to own one let him save his money or accept his/her fate after serving God.

Like I said before, all I feel is pity. The irony of the matter is that your kids may even grow up thinking like this, that will be really sad.

Some of these people encouraging this act cannot even afford to attend or send their children to any of the schools or apartments built by their church. Some of them don't even have jobs and are really struggling but they will always defend their church or pastor. They can't help it, cognitive dissonance is real. I pity most of them.

TATIME:
God's word only recorded the age of those who died NATURALLY, as for all those died as a result of the flood, God didn't keep any record of them since they're like WASTE!
Adam lived longer than any body else! Remember that God's word said "in the day" Adam eat of the forbidden fruit, that will be his last day. Of course Adam lived longer than 24 hours after eating the fruit, so the statement "in the day" couldn't have meant literal 24 hours. According to 2Peter 3:8 a day before God is equivalent of 1,000 years before humans, therefore going by this logic Adam actually died that same day he eat the fruit because he NEVER lived up to 1,000 years after eating the forbidden fruit! Genesis 5:5
But nobody can say for certain how many days as in (thousands of years) Adam had lived before eating the forbidden fruit!

The oldest person ever whose age has been verified is Jeanne Calment (1875–1997) of France, who died at the age of 122 years, 164 days. The oldest man ever whose age has been verified is Jiroem

Lauryn41:
It was used as an instance, not a fact for comparison ,geez,, i didn't say it was equivalent ,stop being shallow

That speaks well about your upbringing

Lauryn41:
Let me hear word jare ,,poverty mentality ,he raised $5000 for the building of their own pastor's legacy stadium ,the money is not his

Besides $5000 in america is just like 5000 naira to a Nigerian ,what's the deal

True Christians won't complain about sowing we understand the benefits ,atheist and half baked Christians should STFU about what doesn't concern them

Daddy freeze that is about to die soon is who you guys are following?? Rubbish

Hahn! $5000 in America is like $5000 in Nigeria. That's your 3 months mortgage payment.

Huawei and Xiaomi post huge marketshare gains as Samsung drops 13 percent

Samsung’s mobile phone sales have been taking a hit this year. It’s a downward trend that started during last year’s holiday quarter and has persisted throughout 2018. Both IDC and Strategy Analytics report that Samsung’s smartphone sales have dipped around 13 percent in the recent quarter. That follows a 10 percent decline in Q2, a 2 percent drop in Q1, and a 4 percent dip in Q4 2017. It’s a clear sign that Samsung’s Galaxy Note 9 and Galaxy S9 devices haven’t been competitive at the high-end, and Samsung is now losing ground in the mid- and low-end parts of the smartphone market.

Huawei, Samsung’s main Chinese rival, has soared this year. Huawei’s smartphone shipments are up around 32 percent this quarter, and the company has once again (for the third time) surpassed Apple as the world’s second largest smartphone brand. Much of that growth will be thanks to the popular P20 flagship handset pushing consumers to consider Huawei devices and its mid-range Honor handsets. Huawei has a tiny presence in the US, but if the company can battle warnings from the FBI, CIA, and NSA to not use its devices then it’s another key market to drive further growth.

Xiaomi, another big Chinese rival to Samsung, is also seeing growth as Samsung declines. Xiaomi’s smartphone shipments are up around 20 percent in the recent quarter, placing it fourth behind Apple in global smartphone shipments. “Samsung is losing ground to Huawei, Xiaomi and other Chinese rivals in the huge China and India markets,” says Neil Mawston, Executive Director at Strategy Analytics. “Samsung must solve its China and India problems before it is too late.”

Samsung admits that it’s struggling at the mid- to low-end of the smartphone market, but in its earnings guidance it hints that things might improve soon. Samsung expects shipments to rise in Q4, “particularly for its enhanced mass product lineup including the new Galaxy A7 and A9.” Samsung also predicts that the overall smartphone market should grow in 2019, but whether the company is part of that growth remains to be seen. Samsung is reportedly launching three Galaxy S10 models and a foldable phone early next year, so it’s bound to be a competitive year for the world’s largest smartphone maker. Samsung’s foldable phone is expected to first appear during the company’s developer conference next week.

While these high-end devices are essential for Samsung’s smartphone brand, it’s the increased competition from Chinese rivals in the mid- and low-end smartphone market that will shape Samsung’s 2019. Huawei and Xiaomi have mastered the art of bringing premium features to mid- and low-end smartphones, and there’s even more Chinese competition that’s ready and willing to challenge Samsung’s dominant position.

Pastor E.A Adeboye's prophecy for The Year 2019
…

Unlike before when the revered man of God would give tacit one liners, he instead gives biblical references as the prophecy for the Year 2019.
He gave the prophecies out in codes as he implied at the crossover service.


INTERNATIONAL: Joel 2 vs 28-32

NIGERIA: Lamentations 3: 22-23

INDIVIDUAL: Isaiah 3:10-11

RCCG: Psalm 91.

…
Baba further admonished Christians to get closer to God and obey his commandments as it requires Holiness to access the blessings that God has in store for us all.
...

BABA don soji, he played defensive like Morinho.

raptex:
It means I no longer rely on or live by the rules the society has set for me( seeing the woeful failure of our society and the ridiculousness of religion). I now live by my own ideas, rules and opinions.

By this definition, you may soon go to jail.

There is nothing like miracle or magic.
BTW study has shown that even prayers don’t work. Just work and be smart, you will be alright.

pacespot:
That is one thing about the Chinese, when their government kicks the citizens respond immediately. Watch the sale of iPhone dropping in China and Chinese losing interest in the brand. Toyota, the biggest Japanese automaker in the world, was sanctioned by China in 2012 due to territorial dispute with Japan, and you hardly see Toyota cars in Chinese roads since then. USA will lose more in this trade war with China because Apple is a massive foreign exchange earning machine for the US economy.

If you guys read the article, you will know that the ban is only on the old phones and does. It affect the newer model. The older phones only make about 10-15% of apple sales in China.

Please where in the Bible did you guys read all these?

St.upid people never learn. The same statement they were making when MMM was scamming them.

suregalluv:
I prefer KJV and NKJV. Other versions are too edited and do not buttress the main points.

What do you mean by ‘edited’? The KJV you have today has also been edited many times. The idea is to arrive at the best possible translation of the Greek and Hebrew manuscripts. That’s not to say that there are no junk translations.

IME1:
Leave our oga at the top oh
Seun and my mother share surname but they are from different states, his my blood oh
Meanwhile @Seun, KJV is the first and other gotten their manuscript from it.
That the writers didn't have sufficient tools makes it even better.
The original Qu’ran too is in Arabic and many Moslems reject other translations cause of fear of distortion.

Enilove like Seun, I'm currently reading the Bible from start, I'm rounding up Job. I'm reading to understand arguments, get facts straight and know the truth. If Jesus did not know scripture Satan would have defeated Him at his temptation. If Paul didn't know scriptures those wise and learned Greeks and even Jews would have ridiculed Him and won arguments against him.
Read about Thomas Aquinas and others, knowledge of God's Word gives strength and acknowledging the power therein brings salvation.

Let's read the Bible for knowledge, discussions and edification

KJV is not the first translation, there are other translations before it. For example, the Bishop bible was heavily used in making the.KJV.

Also, you are wrong about using the KJV as a manuscript for newer versions. The Greek, Hebrew and Latin manuscripts used for translating the KJV are still available and older manuscripts are still been discovered.

olsome:
You know Christians own the largest places of worship in Nigeria. The church in Nigeria are rich and spread around. Satan is not happy the way the church is expanding despite the anger from Satan's agents. Daddy freeze is just wasting his time!!

I don’t just understand how you guys think. 88 millions Nigerians are living in EXTREME poverty (another 1.1millions joined them this last 4 months and many are still joining everyday) This statistic is just for those in extreme poverty, I believe more than 80% of Nigerians are living in poverty. Here you are claiming that that the church is rich. No, the church is not rich, your pastors are very rich. They can afford to live an extravagant lifestyle, they fly private jets, drive very expensive cars, wear Gucci and other designers. Most of you live in dirt, no jobs, no water, no power, very bad roads, you basically have nothing. Even if the church is rich what effect does that have on Nigerians. It’s not like Nigerians are Godly or anything. Nigerians hate each other so much, they rather go to church to give testimony for surving an accident that kill everyone else due to bad road than complain/protest to the government to rebuild the road. They look for every opportunity to scam/steal from each other and they will call it smartness. Yahoo-yahoo is everywhere, people killing each other for nothing. But to you everything is okay as long as your pastor can build a bigger church/business empire, drive a new car and send his kids to school abroad, satan is defeated and Glory to Jesus.

And how is this Italian Jesus?

I can see that many Christians have doubt about their belief. Why will anyone write a long episode just to answer a simple question?

Luke23:4..New International Version
Then Pilate announced to the chief priests and the crowd, "I find no basis for a charge against this man."
Your turn to study the bible

The gospel of Luke was written much later after the death of Jesus and was done to reflect different interests especially towards the Romans. It is certain that the romans killed Jesus as crucifixion is their trademark. A lot of Jews were crucified in mass and Jesus was just one of them. If the Jews killed Jesus, they would have stoned him to death as they usually do for blasphemy or adulatory.

Jaynom:
Well then, until there's an Empirical proof? I'm sticking with what makes sense. I love science. It has been able to explain a lot of amazing stuff BUT I've been around some paranormal activities to Know that this world of ours is not NORMAL. There are things out there that our minds cannot even fathom

Yeah, I do respect your position. However, I actually care if what I believe is true.

Jaynom:
So can you scientifically tell me how the Zillions of stars came to be? Can you explain the mechanism that controls the rotation and revolution of the Earth around the sun and how is it that it doesn't collide with other planets?
Who or what formed the universe? Space? And don't tell me a hypothetical Big Bang

The truth is that I don’t know and that is same for you and everyone. The difference between you and I is that I am bold enough to say that I don’t know how all these things came about. This is why experts in these fields are dedicating their lives to find out things about us and the universe. You on the other hand claimed you already know just because you read it in a book, written 4000 years ago by people who had very little understanding of their immediate enviroment.

Jaynom:
okay the Earth is 4.3billion years old that solidifies my point about Giant fishes

Lol, people can use all sorts of ways to defend what they are indoctrinated to as kids. It so funny you won’t even look at it twice if it was written in another religious book.

ichuka:
Wrong bro

Read your bible bro, the Romans executed him because he committed an act of treason. He was executed as a criminal, he died for his sins.

He died of treason, he died for himself.

JESUS is coming. Stay ready in repentance and complete holiness and righteousness.

Exodus 32:2-4
Aaron said to them, "Tear off the gold rings which are in the ears of your wives, your sons, and your daughters, and bring them to me." Then all the people tore off the gold rings which were in their ears and brought them to Aaron. He took this from their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool and made it into a molten calf; and they said, "This is your god, O Israel, who brought you up from the land of Egypt."

Ezekiel 16:10-12 King James Version (KJV)
10 I clothed thee also with broidered work, and shod thee with badgers' skin, and I girded thee about with fine linen, and I covered thee with silk.

11 I decked thee also with ornaments, and I put bracelets upon thy hands, and a chain on thy neck.

12 And I put a jewel on thy forehead, and earrings in thine ears, and a beautiful crown upon thine head.

Many Christians are slowpoke.s, they don't even read their Bible. They just blindly follow the doctrine of their church and their leader/mentor. Nigeria will be forever backward with these kinds of human beings.
