Christianity Etc › Re: All Catholics Will Go To Hell - Chris Okotie by Reference(m): 1:00pm On Dec 02, 2013
martronilla: Different people; different religion... he has no right to say such. who da hell does he think he is? I am not trying to oppose his statement because I am a catholic. I will never criticise another man's way of worship... We catholics know what we are doing.... if he thinks we are following the wrong path, then let him leave that for God to judge on the last day. They insist we are idol worshippers.... they have said all sorts of trash abt catholics but I do not let them get to me.... We are all xtians and we serve the same God but in different ways.... leave matter for mathias.... they claim we 'Worship' Mary bt we do not..... instead, we honour her as the woman chosen to conceive the saviour.... she wasnt special, she wasnt d only virgin bt she was selected by God. so, she deserves to be honoured.... the statues u see in our churches are not worshipped.... just the way u have faith in ur bibles, so do we have faith in the satues.... God is not the only one we should have faith in... faith is a supernatural gift from God which enables us to beleive without doubting whatever God has revealed. anytime I see posts on the internet abt catholics being critised, I simply Ignore them but today, I had an urge to comment on this thread.... like I said earlier, let us leave this for God to judge.... Peace be with you all.
Matronilla dear, Jesus Christ, the Living Word is the only one we should have faith in. Nothing or no one else.

This is not the kind of mentality a government in waiting has. Quit shooting your feet with this superiority clap trap. This is gasoline for the PDP bandwagon. Move to the centre biko.

Aussie: There is no hope for the current crop of generations in this country. Nigeria seems to be doomed!
We are simply not sincere with ourselves. We practice politics of religion and ethnicity and until majority of us change, there is no hope. It will take at least a century to clear the mess we find ourselves today.
We don,t love our so called Nigeria, but strongly in love with our religion and ethnic, which unfortunately is the bane behind our under development and backwardness.
Until we affirm and decide to exude the lyrics of our national anthem and Pledge, hich I doubt will happen anytime soon, we shall continue to have backslid as a country without any defined course to chart.
Hmm. Music to ma ears. Thought our problem was corruption. Ride on Willie boy. Ouch is it painful. Then don't do it.

Do what the bible says God created the woman for and you will be the one selecting the one you want. 'Love me' is not the foundation of relationships. Its a wrong, selfish start.

Bad results do not ccome back to hunt him. Afterall it is his Job That will be on the Line. Blues for LIFE!!!
But they are still in third/fourth position and have a bigger squad than Arsenal and the league neva start.

Christianity Etc › Re: Some Muslims Will Make Heaven While Some Christians Will Not. by Reference(m): 1:44pm On Dec 01, 2013
We will continue to debate issues like this as long as Christianity is portrayed as a religion not a Faith.

Christianity is a Faith and faith comprises two basic working systems. The 'belief system' that relates you to God through your soul and spirit and the 'acts system', the doing which relates your body and soul to God's will (purpose).

Christianity is a combination of both. Thus you cannot be a Christian if you do 'Christian things' without belief in Christ Jesus (as the rich man did) and you cannot be a Christian if you believe only and have no fruits to show (even the devil believes) or act contrary to what you believe.

I fully understand the concept of 'grace' that gives opportunity to any and every but except if you receive Jesus at the point of death, your belief and acceptance will be tested and confirmed by what you do.

Finally to tie it in. The 'acts', 'doings' are in total obedience to Him you have believed and accepted, not to your pastor, friend, family community or country. So there cannot be a dispute as to whom you serve.

So are there people who profess Christianity but are not recognised, sure. Are there moslems who are Christians, how can that be, if we are talking about the heaven Jesus Christ has purchased with His blood.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Cardiff Vs Arsenal (0 - 3) On 30th November 2013 by Reference(m): 8:55pm On Nov 30, 2013
PurestBoy: I'm disappointed in Giroud in all fairness & I still have d same concerns about him as I've been telling my facebook friends. I understand that his contributions this season have been excellent, but he's just too chunky & not dynamic enough for a team like arsenal. He can't work in tight spaces or create a chance out of nothing his finishing is also poor. He can't get past defenders or do anything with his back to goal. This has nothing to do with the offside fiasco. I just think Giroud should be a 2nd option. He should be to us what Dzeke is to City. If we can get a striker in the caliber of Aguero, Diego Costa or Suarez, the sky will be d limit for us.
Some strikers like Torres & Soldado
would die to get a fraction of the
services he gets. Don't get me wrong, he still has wonderful attributes: great in the air, good link up play & works hard in defense, that still doesn't nullify his obvious flaws.
No need to hold back. He's simply not good enough as a top 9. The boots left by Thierry are just too large for now.

[quote author=agoha_vivi]forget That nonsence. The only Way to determine the true paternity of a child ID DNA. There was a case at American Embassey sometime ago where a man was supposed to take his family to the states being based there, while the wife was here in Nigeria. Their son was made to take a DNA test and to shockingly he failed. The father insisted That there was a mistake in the test and with the kind of uproar the man created the test was reconducted lo and behold the child failed again. This came as a surprise to everyone because the boy bore some resemblace with the aclaimed father. The young man had to abandon the woman and her child. Do you realise that a Lady who likes men with similar physical traits might marry a man with such qualities, cheat on him with someone with same traits. If she gets pregnant as a result of adultry, she could have a child that could pass for her husbands.[/quote]Nna see levels.

boneruns: Yes, this is true. I learnt those affected were/will be the old staff of the bank. I don't really know their criteria for selecting these 'old' staff.

The bank is rebranding.

Currently, there's massive recruitment for both new and experienced hire. Anyone who knows someone within the bank, should submit CV.
You don't know the criteria for the mass cull and you ask people to submit CV's for that same place. Are you an undertaker or whot?

Nomski0: How's that possible? undecidedundecided

Good defence doesnt win trophies angry. A complete team aka an all round team wins trophies. tongue
Well history tells us that as tournaments or leagues get towards the business end goals become more difficult to score. Managers tend to be more cautious, more tactical and rely on their defences to deliver. You won't see Ronaldo or Messi scoring a hattrick in the Champs final but you will remember how the goalie messed up or the silly defender handled in the box or that heart wrenching penalty give away. Trophies are usually about who makes the fewer mistakes when it matters. Behind Alonso the Madrid team is suspect. You won't outscore every team.

That's why I rate them 10th. The top three are Bayern, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid in that order as the most complete or balanced teams. Then you have the likes of Juventus, Dortmund, PSG and Porto. No English club makes the top 15. They are too unreliable for now. Mancity is the best placed amongst the lot.

Well they are on course. They are 2 points ahead of Barca on my CRAFT log. Real even with CR7 is only 10th. They are defensively weak. Pepe and Ramos need to join Chris Brown in rehab. They've cost that team dearly time and again. As you know while good attacks win matches, it is only good defences that win trophies.

Politics › Re: 49 House Members Decamp To APC by Reference(m): 1:50pm On Nov 27, 2013
TechWalker007: Let me tell you the truth.
APC had a good start, they would have grown to become the party of the masses.
If you have followed me before now, I was once an APC supporter.
I voted for Ribadu against GEJ and still respect him a lot.

I do not believe APC had to become what it is today just to wrestle power.

Why should I support a new party whose ONLY GOAL is to BECOME the ONLY party?
Well, Tech that's up to me and you to ensure that we are not moving from one totalitarian group to another because history tells us that the situation only gets worse because 'power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely' is a universal, non-respector of persons law.

Personally I'm not interested in the party name or candidates. They will come and go. The dynamic is the important factor. To hang your clothes there must be tension in the line with two equally suffering anchorages.

TechWalker007: Seriously, I don't really care about the them decamping. I am more worried that APC is presenting themselves as progressives but with open arms to the same people they have hitherto labelled corrupt! How hypocritical?!
Its not hypocritical. It is the reality. For APC to become a national player it has to reflect the national character and aggregate the moral barometer of her citizens. If the majority of Nigerians are corrupt how do you expect a minority of 'saints' to rule. That's why I dismissed the 'Buhari Effect' long ago. His likes will be a minority in the APC. That's how democracy tackles corruption and misgovernance. Not by the quality of individuals within a grouping but by the fear/greed associated with assuming or losing power. The APC and PDP will eventually reach an equilibrium in all ramifications. The earlier should be our prayer.
Politics › Re: 49 House Members Decamp To APC by Reference(m): 10:36am On Nov 27, 2013
Its an expected and perhaps good development considering the number of seats, etc. But whether these individuals are really popular and were duly elected is another matter. The governors for one are all going to lose power, resources and influence so their impact will be moderate at best.

It makes for interesting times. We are moving forward.

Mata has as much chance to feature for Chelsea as Torres or Villa for Barcelona. Mourinho HATES the tiki-taka style which is ingrained in all Spanish midfielders. Mata will operate in the false nine system. Mourinho plays the traditional big nine system. Chelsea, Intermilan, Real Madrid. Good passing midfielders not ball holders. He does not want midfielders slowing the pace of attack with sideways movement. He hates tiki-taka. Post Liga traumatic disorder you may say.
