If a christian leader can lead and play politics and not go against his religious beliefs, not compromise i see no reason why he cannot be a politician..

u have made no point, the Op talks about mediate which I have shown u the meaning.

this where Mary interceded in the bible,
john 2:1-8 and this is also known as the first miracle of Christ.

On the third day a wedding took
place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’
mother was there, and Jesus and
his disciples had also been invited
to the wedding. When the wine
was gone, Jesus’ mother said to
him, “They have no more wine.”
“Woman, why do you involve
me?” Jesus replied. “My hour has
not yet come.”
His mother said to the servants,
“Do whatever he tells you.”
Nearby stood six stone water jars,
the kind used by the Jews for
ceremonial washing, each holding
from twenty to thirty gallons.
Jesus said to the servants, “Fill
the jars with water”; so they filled
them to the brim.
Then he told them, “Now draw
some out and take it to the master
of the banquet.”

I repeat Mary do not mediate she intercede pls don't miss the words. that part of Luke u quoted she also said " Henceforth, all generations shall call me blessed.

Intercede and mediate are one and the same thing!!!!!!!@

nnatom:
I know you have a problem understanding English language.

catholic says Mary intercede for them and u are missing it up with mediator. yes Christ is the only mediator between God and man. but Mary intercede,i.e plead on our behalf.

dictionary meaning of mediator and intercede

To intercede is to go or come between two
parties, to plead before one of them on behalf
of the other. "Mediation"
means a standing in the midst between two
(contending) parties, for the purpose of
bringing them together.

No actually you are the one who doesnt understand english and have been brainwashed by the catholic doctrine..whats the difference between intercede and mediator? Its basically same.. that aside the bible says "no one comes to the father except through me" that goes to confirm the post you quoted on 1timothy. Tell me what part of the bible you and i believe in where mary was confirmed as a intercessor btween man and God (not jesus)?

If we both believe in the same bible you speak of and you cannot prove to me where mary the mother of jesus has the ability to intercede on our behalf, then its safe to say that you do not believe in the word of God. But if you do believe in the bible then we should solely agree that mary does not intercede on our behalf. The bible says "can two work together if they do not agree"?

true but want do we do when we are our own problems, some off this people never had nothing before being commisioners etc and we know it, in a few weeks after becoming deputy governors he starts building personal estates and nobody is saying nothing. I think people the social media to expose all these the evidence is every where.

See eh, nigeria's case is beyond repair and thats the bitter truth.. Its only God himself that would come down by himself and rearrange affairs of the nation..

nkpommpko:
What is wrong with this people for Gods sakes. Our "leaders" are cursed. Haba!!!

No its not the leaders. The people have given them the freehand to do whatever without holding them accountable. Only coming to nl to rant about it...

Does Nigeria Music Lack Depth?

As many other Nigerians, I am a very big music fanatic and I like music that makes a lot of sense, sometimes it does not come across as your regular everyday sound. The fact that I can make meaning out of the song (not necessarily being able to relate with it) and put myself sometimes in the thought of the writer of the song, I ask myself, has music lost its depth in Nigeria?

Today I bought SIA's album off the play-store after listening to her single off the Album "1000 forms of fear" from the radio, I was really impressed because when you hear the lyrics of that song, you would know there is a lot of profundity in it. I was so curious to finding out more about that single and I went to YouTube to watch the video, that also blew my mind away (okay, just so you know I am not here to promote her. I want to drive a point home).

I got tired of listening to Foreign music and I decided to tune in to local radio and I heard a Nigerian Artiste which I would not want to mention, singing. I was really disgusted. I was disgusted not because of the voice or the beats, I was disgusted because these days people do not know why they go into music, most Nigerian artiste go into music not because they want to pass a message but because they feel that is a very informal shortcut of getting rich quick and also their ticket to fame and because of this, what drives them is not the passion to send a message across but the passion to elevate their current social status and to make their bank accounts blue.

In my humble opinion, making music is for critical thinkers, highly intelligent individuals and in the same vein people who want to pass a message across. Its sad to say, Nigerian artistes are not critical thinkers, they just dish out whatever trash they feel would "sell" except for a selected few who are doing their thing without fear of whether the masses appreciate them or not, people like Lindsey, Blackmagic, Age Beeka, Blaise, Styl-Plus and there is just something about these people "they are t a l e n t e d" in every sense of the word. There is also another sad similarity among-st them "they are broke" in comparison to their Nigeria counterpart. The question I often ask, is it that Nigeria and Nigerians dont appreciate good music or they don't relate with their music in the way they should? A few thoughts came to my head and the only plausible answer I could give myself is that Nigerians themselves are not deep-critical thinkers. The average person runs from everything that challenges their thought process in a way they cannot comprehend and this is the reason why mediocre prevails both in the music scene and other spheres of the country.

The biggest reason why I would forever give respect to FELA is because he went into music to pass a message, and pass that message in his own way. Now before Fela, his kind of sound was not mainstream. I doubt if any other person has attempted it, but that was totally unique to him and he got the accolade he deserved. Fast foward to these recent times. Wande Coal brought a new feel to Music which WizKid came and did better justice to and was better known for it. Wizkid started making so much money, it now dawned on the younger generation that they can be like Wizkid and make money too. Almost every Nigerian artiste now sings like Wizkid and in the desperation to just be out there, nobody wants to think of thought provoking lyrical details to their works. The only category of musicians that try in this aspect are the rappers and this is because the bar has being raised so high that you cannot but impress.

There has been a couple of similar write-ups as this, and I really do not intend that my post makes front-page but it was very uncanny to know that the first day I wrote this write-up, for reasons I do not know, I just archived it and two days later, a thread of this sort was on front-page. It goes to say that I am not the only person thinking this way. I CANT count a handful of Nigerian music that would be ever blue to me.

In other words, this is a plea to both our producers, musicians, artistes and the likes MAKE MUSIC OUR GENERATION WOULD TRIP INTO NOSTALGIA WHEN LISTENING TO IN 10-20 years.

Hello Redcliff, Sorry for the late response, actually I am more interested in the Renault and the Peugeot. If you could do me a favour and try reaching out to the Renault guy, also would love to know the landing cost of each. (Renault & Peugeot)
would love conclude arrangements for payments towards the end of next week.
really appreciate....thanks man

I would call. But I still feel strongly that the renault has a problem too. I would find out what it is..because the car doesnt run as stated in the description...

Are you a practicing facility manager? Can I send you a personal message?

Here in Nigeria, the Lagos and Abuja Chapter of IFMA are very active may be they are yet to update their website on current activities. The President of the Abuja Chapter is a friend and he is a key person driving FM in Nigeria. He won the last Global FM of the year. Which means even globally we are making a great mark.

To follow thru, call the numbers in the contact section of the website and u'll be shocked with the array of great minds that will attend to u. The amount of knowledge and expertise awaiting u through IFMA network in enourmous.

I am a Chartered Member of BIFM and also a Member of IFMA, these two bodies have been my source of knowledge and benchmark as regards to standard and operatioanl procedures in FM.

U'll be doing yourself a great favour if you key to these set of professionals and learn more. I'll recommend u attend the forthcoming FM booth camp in Lagos. I bet u, issues relating to the real Facilities Management will be clearer to you cos the best in the profession will be there to share in their wealth of experience.

Hello how do you do? Apparently, It seems you have not been on this website for over a year now. What is your professional background like?

duality:
@ op, You seem to be intelligent but the the following never occurred to you

- "Applied Knowledge" and
- " Transferable skills"

Research about these two and reread what you wrote.

Intelligent in what sense?

I stated unequivocally, that one had better acquire knowledge that there is high possibility of one using. In everything there is an opportunity cost, the opportunity cost of acquiring the knowledge of Spanish is that knowledge of Hausa language I would have acquired which will now be forfeited.

Now, there is a possibility that I will get to use the knowledge of Spanish, but the possibility is lesser than that of Hausa given that If would go abroad, definitely, it wouldnt be to a Spanish country. Or what's the possibility of my serving as an interpreter?

Ps stop encouraging our future husbands to be lazy...remember this is Africa,Nigeria precisely...contribution from d wives side should be a free will and not by force...

You got that wrong..its not freewill.. its essential but not mandatory...

If she is working and earning money why cant she take care of some certain thinfs herself without asking the man for money?

MarvellousGod:
I don't stand anywhere! !!!!

I want to work and contribute to my family projects/expenses. .

AND

I must make decisions with my husband, I must have a say.. we must talk things over, he can't just decide alone.... Nobody has the final say in a marriage, decisions should be reached by both couples. ..

QED

You women dont realize something..because its the natural order of things to be under a man, you naturally feel subjugated even when you are partners in any decision making process. The bitter truth is that a man has the final say.. its the way nature made it to be and when a man does not play this "role" unconsciously to you, he gradually loses his status as a man to YOU....then this brings the instances of disrespect and dishonour..women honor men who subjugate then (not in a bad or condescending way though).
