Mr.chippychappy:
I don't see anything wrong with what he said :

An imam would rather tell you "convert to islam or get bombed" . So which would you rather here . The one from the pastor or the one from the Imam

And how many Imam's told you that?

Lovine: yommy2sure:

What about Boko Haram and the beggers that flood the streets, Mosques, etc?

And there are no christian beggers on the streets of Nigeria. Those who use the Bible to beg in molue buses, market places and on the streets are unfortunate Christians abi? . Or its their sins that is that much, such that God can't forgive other than make them beg.

andyzoga: Abi o! Ask them bro.
Funny enuf, d busy man of God neva read all their useless comments. . .lol. Doesn't dat call for another concern by the[b] idle commentators[b] who do worse things to their siblings n parents?

Sure your are not left out

ekt_bear: He is not denying her care. He is attaching conditions to the care!

So you are not a man of God any more if you attach conditions to the care someone asks for

If God, your creator had attached conditions to your existence, what would be your condition today?

yommy2sure: And if Islam is the true religion why do we 10 times more poor muslims. If we r to use material wealth to judge I guess atheism or agnotiscm will be the right one 'cos a good number of the world richest dont believe or doubt the existence of God or any god.

because Islam never promises any one wordly prosperity. And it has never been a yardstick for evangelism in Islam.

toba: who cares? when Muslim ladies told me that they can't date any man thats not a muslim. One even told me that immediately i convert to Islam, we can start talking according to whats written in the quran


May be Bishop Oyedepo being an ex muslim is just trying to give them (Muslims) give out to others

Hmmm, and can you marry a muslim lady?
Or just looking for one to useless.

Bravo!. It worked. Been trying to fund my freelancer account using my GTB Mastercard but been having difficulties, this one worked ASAP.

But one very important downside of this Card is the lack of secondary security at the point of payment, just like the Token and Secure Code security in GTB Mastercard.

The UBA Allows payment once you supply the card number and ur v code.
This is not too good as anyone who lay hands on ur card can use it in ur absence.

Just got the Instant Card. They eventually deducted N600 form the amount paid in to fund the card.

Was told each time I need to fund the card, all I have to do is pay the amount into a 10 digit number inscribed at the back of the back (the same number I paid into to fund the card)

changed the ATM PIN, checked my bal and found N9400, (paid in 10k)

Also did same on their web portal, and found the same amount.

Guess the Card is Good To Go!

Presently at the bank to obtain my own UBA Visa Africard.

Told the fee for the Instant Card is N750.

Just hope it would worth the stress and expenses cos this their questions too much O!

Abrantie: Oh Nigeria! You are so divided. Why does it have to be ONLY the Oyo state indigenes who went to protest? Why couldn't it be ALL NIGERIANS?

The big Q?

“Oyo is not the only state doing
this. Some other states had been around
before.”

Is that an excuse to lavish public fund?

According to her, “everywhere in the world, leaders get paid from public funds; the only thing is to ensure that money is judiciously spent.” Asked whether it would not have been more judicious to hold the course in Nigeria,
Sumonu brushed the suggestion aside, saying many Nigerians, especially those in Diaspora, like to run good things down.

This woman deserves a dirty slap.

London Metropolitan Police should deport these senseless and good for nothing women ASAP!

In the latest issue of Vanity Fair, journalist Kurt
Eichenwald chronicles the twelve-year decline
of Microsoft. Over the same period, Apple
prospered, but America floundered. Analyzing
Microsoft's failure and Apple's success helps us
understand what the US needs to do to get
back on track.
In December of 2000, Microsoft shares (MSFT)
were worth $119.94; it was the most valuable
corporation in the world with a market
capitalization of $510 billion. Then the slide
began; now Microsoft's stock is worth $30.63
per share and it's market capitalization is
$257B. During the same period Apple's stock
(AAPL) increased in value from $8.19 to
$614.32 and its market cap rose from $4.8B to
$574B. Now Apple is the world's most valuable
company.
Why did Microsoft decline while Apple
prospered? Eichenwald focuses on
management and strategy. But purpose is as
important.
Eichenwald details a series of bad decisions
made by Microsoft management, particularly
CEO Steve Ballmer and founder and chief
software architect Bill Gates. Microsoft has
three product lines: personal computer (PC)
operating systems - Windows, PC productivity
software - Office (Word, Excel, Powerpoint...),
and Server products (intended for businesses
rather than individuals). For thirty years it's
been the dominant software provider.
In the nineties, Microsoft was the number one
US technology company. Brilliant techies
flocked to its Redmond, Washington, campus
and many suggested products outside
operating systems and Office. For example,
Eichenwald reports that in 1998 a Microsoft
group developed a workable e-book - a digital
reading device. Bill Gates killed the product
because, "He didn't like the user interface,
because it didn't look like Windows." Ten years
later, in November of 2007, Amazon introduced
the Kindle e-book and it became a sensation -
selling millions of units.
Eichenwald attributes Microsoft's decline to the
shortsightedness of Gates and Ballmer, their
unwillingness to look beyond Windows, Office,
and Server. It's more accurate to say that
Microsoft had a strategy that worked very well
until 2000 and then strayed off course - but
the company was making so much money
Gates and Ballmer didn't notice. In 1980
Microsoft executives laughed at IBM executives
because the Armonk crowd had been so
enamored with their success, as a main-frame
computer provider, they hadn't noticed when
the technical paradigm shifted and the
personal computer supplanted the mainframe.
In 2000 the paradigm shifted again - from the
personal computer to the personal digital
device - and Microsoft didn't notice.
Apple did recognize the paradigm shift. In
October of 2001, Apple introduced the IPod -- a
digital music player. Steve Jobs saw a sea
change in consumer preferences. Smart
handheld devices, such as cameras,
camcorders, and organizers had become very
popular. As a consequence, Jobs moved Apple
into the personal digital device marketplace.
(Eichenwald writes that Microsoft initially
laughed at the Ipod. By the time they realized
the importance of the paradigm shift, it was too
late - Microsoft introduced Zune, a digital music
player, in November of 2006; the product was
discontinued last October.)
Apple followed the overwhelming success of the
IPod with the June 2007 release of the IPhone.
Thought by many to be the technical product
of the decade, the IPhone was not the first
smart phone, but it was the first to provide a
effective touch screen. Building upon this
success, in April of 2010 Apple introduced the
IPad - a tablet computer. (Last month,
Microsoft announced it's own tablet computer,
Surface, availability to be defined.)
Eichenwald quotes Steve Jobs saying Bill Gates
was the basic Microsoft problem: "Bill likes to
portray himself as a man of the product, but
he's really not. He's a businessperson. Winning
business was more important than making
great products."
This difference between the two companies can
be seen in their corporate statement of
purpose. Microsoft's is "Your potential. Our
passion." Apple's is "Think different." Over the
past twelve years, Apple thought different,
developed a long-term plan based upon strong
products, and prevailed. Microsoft got hung up
making money and stagnated.
Since 2000, the United States has floundered.
We've suffered from the same malaise that
plagued Microsoft. We've had poor
management and weak strategy. Our leaders
have been hypnotized by wealth.
Microsoft laughed at IBM for getting stuck in
the age of dinosaurs and then joined them.
Unfortunately the US has followed suit. The
social paradigm has shifted but, as a nation, we
haven't recognized this.
The official US motto is "In God We Trust," but
it should be "Big is Beautiful." Our leaders are
overly enamored with big: big military, big
business, and big money. Some would argue
that Microsoft stalled because it got too big.
Today, some argue that the US has gotten too
big. But Apple is big and it has prospered
because it had the wherewithal to capitalize on
a paradigm shift. It had the guts to think
different.
The problem with the US is not that we're too
big to govern or that government is too big.
Our problem is vision: we're stuck in the age of
dinosaurs and we don't get it. Americans need
to shake it up: emphasize growth rather than
profits. Americans need to think different.

would love to have a copy. Thanks

Is this the agenda of GEJ for nigeria?
If such can be done to the PCA, then whats the faith of a common Nigerian how has got issues with the ruling class and has chosen to take cover in the judiciary?

Nigerian biz and services can also do well on www.dealsnswaps.com

JAKARTA – (AFP) – A religious court
official in Indonesia has blamed social
networking site Facebook for a rise in
teenage pregnancies and under-age
marriages, a report said Thursday.
Siti Haryanti, a secretary at the religious
court in Mount Kidul, a town in Central
Java, said young couples were having
sex after meeting online and she had
seen the number of under-age
marriages increase in the past year.
“Many couples admitted they got to
know each other through the site and
continued their relationship until they
got pregnant outside wedlock,” Haryanti
was quoted as saying by Antara state
news agency.
“The site is easy to access even to the
remote villages so intensive
relationships caused many teenagers to
get pregnant outside marriage,” she
said.
Haryanti said 130 under-age couples
have sought marriage licences at the
religious court this year compared to
120 couples in 2010.
The legal age for marriage in Indonesia
is 16 years for women and 19 years for
men.
A study by Yahoo! found that Indonesia
is the largest and fastest growing online
market in Southeast Asia, with online
usage growth of 48 percent in 2010,
compared to 22 percent in 2009.
Indonesia has more than 22 million
Facebook users.

i think Nigeria is just begining to know what it is made up of haven stood alone as an entity for the past 50 yrs.
Most of us have failed to realise due to our sentimental ideolgy which an average Nigerian is known for, that there is a clear diffrence between tribe and religion, and also sectionalism in a gathering.
When you see an hausa man killing for what so ever reason he has given, most christains are quick at taging it as an islamic act, but when cardinals of catholic are caugth in the act od gay or homosexual, or when pastor king was caught seting his members ablaze as his own understanding of hell no body not even a muslim made up something special out of it. It may be true that most nothern Muslims are very aggressive, but its also a fact that all christians allways prove to aggrive or intimadate an average muslim.
Now if we say Nigeria should split, it would be on what bases, Religion or Tribe.
If Religion, what would we do about the northern christains or the southern muslims. An average southerner is calm regardless or religion while an average northerner is cruel regardless of religion. We only hear more form the northern muslims cos they are the majority.
We dont xperience any form of religious violence here in the south where the population of both religion is almost the same not because we are hypocrites but because we have better understanding of what the religions teach.
But it would be very bad if the christains begin to call the muslims all sort of names and show high level intimidation, this could cause more harm than good. And remeber never think one religion is better than the other, no matter ur faith or scripture, neva be certain, certaintty comes on the last day, when there would be no opportunity for a change. God is not Static.

New or fairly used?
