guy u are in trouble!

how? #MTN, #NCC, Engineers, how?

The two phones were placed beside each other when a call entered and the phone rang. Immediately I picked the call it was the other phone that was talking. In fact the whole conversation was completed on the phone laying on the chair and which I did not pick to answer the call. It will continue to be a surprise to me until someone can give adequate explanation & reason for the occurrence.

Is it correct to say Vodafone is the only surviving company that operates with CDMA, what of multilinks and starcoms? Abi these two have closed down.

Nothing mouth watering bout this their offers.. Was expecting something like #500 for 3gb a month..

These internet service providers are still stingy with their expensive data plans. If they are sincere enough 3gb shouldn't be more than N500.

If this is true I must say Christmas came early this year.

Many thought it was rumoured then, but now it is becoming a reality. FG says it is starting the full implementation in February 1, 2016.

Thanks to those made the move against the big fraud they have forced Nigerians to pay for as fixed charges.

prophet TB Joshua prophesied this in 2014, that the price of crude oil will drop drastically that some might have to "drink" their oil due to the fact that so many nations will discover oil. In Africa already , many nations have already discovered oil.

When crude oil was gold we failed to develop our country from its proceeds.
#DeathAndCancerToEveryLooter

Oil can't be so cheap until it's discovery in all States, or possibly in all communities. If Nigerians have their way, falling oil price should have been blessing in disguise. If people can't plan well on scarce resources, they must see an opportunity to do so when resources are surplus.

America saved for the future when oil price was high, and now that's low, the opportunity has come their way to strengthen their economy whilst weak economies are crashing and crawling. The dollar is undoubtedly gaining the value Naira is loosing.

O ma se o. Losses at this time of economic hardship. Hope the state's government will assist those affected and help to restore their losses.

over Nigerian women to invent something special in science and technology.

There are two universities in Nigeria, OAU and OTHERS. Who would have believed this architectural masterpiece was built from cocoa products? The same products that built the first TV station in Africa, the first skyscraper in Africa, and the first stadium in Africa. God, bring back the regional government!

.... and remove greed from the hearts of our leaders. Many of them will claim to take after Awolowo, but alas they are chameleons. Many things are in dare need of urgent attention in SW, as things are fallen apart. We fake progress and advancement but still roaming about with the usual sophistication. Why can't SW be as famous and successful as GB, with all resources? May God help SW to sack all devourers and cankerworm eating up the system.

when will the Fulani live peacefully with their hosts and stop their thirst for blood? Their evils will make it difficult for Nigerians to live as a nation. Buhari should try all he could do to make them know how to love peace and live in peace with their host communities.

sitting like that among the poor can't be enough, but dividing his riches and distributing them to the poor. That way he can be honestly humble.

Gov Ajimobi should have focused on welfare of the citizens of the State... Things are tight and living is becoming harder by the days

OP mentioned UC browser and opera max as the ones that save data, what of chrome?

If Oyinbos don't prepare it and dish it as part of their delicacies they can't have a name for it. They can only follow the names given by the people that make it part of their diet.

Majority of the 79 ‘prophets’ chronicled by the website are ancient figures from Biblical or Islamic history such as Moses, Shuaib and Isaiah, with Jesus Christ topping the list.

Jesus is the first all creation nah! The High Priest of the new covenant and Son of the Most High. Since the creation there has not been and can't be miracle or prophecy that can be greater that what Christ has done, and even his redemptive work and salvation that are ongoing in the lives of children of God

El zakzaky, a prophet or what? Nawao!

All evils in the name of religion must stop. Thank God for making it possible for humanity to invent internet. Evils can now be easily exposed any where it lurks in the scriptures.

Scriptures should reveal the mind of God for good of all, whether they are believers or not. If God has commanded those who are saved to rise for salvation of others. I wonder why some people will say they are fighting for the same God, enslaving, maiming and killing those He wants them to save without doing any harm or inflicting sorrow on anyone. Is there anything holy in a war, when the result is violence and devastation? A society is finished once religion, culture and tradition can no longer save people.

Any religion that hasn't got the mind of God in this 21 century should go for reformation... Jeremiah 29:11 - For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

Isaiah 23: 3&4 - Isaiah 3 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. 4 Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength:

Nigerians politicians are funny group of people. They wouldn't want others to use same instruments they have used to get rid of those they dethroned.

I thought Jonathan confessed he was the most insulted president in the world, and the insult was from the opposition. That instrument has been used to either keep government on track or pave the way for its exit.

I think Buhari and members of the ruling party should have received the challenge and work harder to prove the opposition wrong instead of raising eye brows for whatever kicks for correction.

It's so bad that while fighting corruption has been the hallmark and major achievement, some states are diligently riding on corruption without query from the central. Whatever comes round must go round. Exposing some and shielding few others for similar offense is injustice and corruption.

Joseph the Dreamer

Aside stating the word of God and revealing God's plans and purposes, the scripture also uses stories of people who succeeded through difficult challenges to teach us lessons and strengthen our faith. Proverbs 37:5 - Commit your way unto the Lord, trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. The followings are discussed: The Prophetic Dreams;An Evil Plot, and A Brokenhearted Father.

Prophetic Dream: A dream from God revealing His purpose will surely come to pass, no matter the mission of the enemy. The rivalry in Joseph's life might be due to Jacob's choice and love for Rachel over Leah. Jacob truly loved Rachel and wanted to marry only her before he was deceived by his father-in-law to marry Leah (Rachel's senior sister). Because of his intent to marry Rachel, he had to serve his father-in-law for another seven years to marry Rachel. Before Rachel bore a child, Leah, along with servants of both wives had born ten sons for Joseph. This experience in the family foreshadowed future strained relationship between Joseph and his brothers (Genesis 37: 1-4).

Jacob's role might have also strained the relationship. He favoured Joseph (Rachel first child) over his brothers. Favouritism among siblings breeds resentment. Jacob's special favour for Joseph resulted in strong hatred by his brothers who later conspired to eliminate him. If God gives the revelation, nothing can change His plan. Even though Joseph early life wasn't easy, God had special plan for him. At times the way to fulfil God's purpose may not be smooth and the family background may be horrible, all believers need to do is to keep trusting God, and never to succumb to frustration that brings hopelessness.

Another reason Joseph's brothers hated him is that God spoke to him through dreams early in his life. Aside their father's favouritism, God's special gift made his brothers hate him even more. He had a dream that indicated he would one day rule over his brothers (Genesis 37: 5-11). The manner in which he stated his dream also annoyed his brothers. They were offended by his word. Christians should cultivate the right attitude while expressing God's goodness and mission successfully accomplished by His grace. They should not offend others by their testimonies. It is often wise to keep God's revelations to ourselves until the time God has worked them out, or He has given the assurance to share them.

An Evil Plot: Jacob sent Joseph to check on his brothers after several days they had left home to rear the animals. Despite the stress and time it took Joseph to locate his brothers, his brothers started to plan against him as they saw him coming. They had plotted to kill him, throw his body into a pity, and later to tell the family that a wild animal had killed him (Genesis 37:12-20). They wanted to kill Joseph and stop his dream (they wanted to stop God from carrying out His purpose). There can be times that our faith in God's promise will be challenged, we must not be overwhelmed. Rather, we must wait upon God, He has the power to influence the situation, and make us part of glorious cause.

While the plot to kill Joseph was in place, Reuben, the oldest brother had planned that he should be thrown into a pit, so that he would later rescue him and take him back home. With the intervention of Judah, Joseph was later taken out of the pit and sold into slavery ( Genesis 37: 21-28). Our shortcomings can delay fulfilment of God's promise or make us experience lots of difficulties before being fulfilled. Sometimes such difficulties may be as a result of the roles of spiritually fallen people we relate with in this spiritually fallen world. Instead of faulting the character of God, we should work toward ensuring God works out his purpose through us.

Brokenhearted Father: Reuben was troubled when he came back and discovered Joseph had disappeared. He didn't know what to do but along the line the brothers invented heartless explanation for Joseph's disappearance (Genesis 37:29-32). With the cunning invention of lies they deceived Jacob and made him believe Joseph, his favourite son had died a horrible death.

Jacob was grieved over loss of Joseph. He was confused about how God's plan and promise could be brought to a sudden end. He had kept Joseph's dreams in mind, pondering their validity (Genesis 37:33-38). That Jacob was deceived by the children might be payback for what he did to Esau. Jacob was so sorrowful that he vowed he wouldn't be comforted, and would take his grief to the grave. One can be grieved, even Jesus was grieved, but grief that can not be comforted is bad. God was still acting to keep his promise and carry out his plan, though, through what would bring great grief to Jacob, and terrible struggles for Joseph. No matter the situation God is in control to bring His plans to pass. We can hasten or delay His plans through our faith and actions. Lesson texts: Genesis 37: 1-36.

Song of Salvation ( Nunc Dimittis)

Simeon and Anna praised and gave thanks to God for giving them the grace to witness consolation of Israel in their old age. They were devout worshippers who saw the long-awaited Messiah. Psalm 98:2 - The Lord hath made known his salvation: his righteousness hath he openly showed in the sight of the heathen. The followings are discussed: Jesus Dedicated to God; Song about Jesus the Saviour, and Thanksgiving for Redemption.

Jesus Dedicated to God: Mary's child was named as instructed by the angel of God who separately appeared to Mary and Joseph (Luke 1:26-38, Mathew 1:18-25). He was given the name JESUS when eight days were accomplished for circumcision. Joseph and Mary were obedient to God by carrying out His command.

Jesus was taken to Jerusalem to be presented to God in the temple, after forty days of his birth. According to the law of the Lord, a woman was considered ceremonially unclean after the birth of a child until the day of Purification (Leviticus 12:1-8 ). It took forty days if a baby was a boy, and eighty days if it was a girl for the mother to complete the time of uncleanness. And on the day of purification the mother would offer sacrifice to God (Number 18:15).

God demanded that firstborn animals and male children belonged to Him. While firstborn animals were sacrificed, firstborn male children were presented to Him and then bought back. The sacrifice for Mary's cleansing was offered as required. She presented Jesus to God and got him back with the sacrifice (Luke 2:22-24). The ceremony was designed to remind people that all life is a gift from God. Jesus earthly parents obediently served God and took responsibilities. God sends blessings with responsibilities. He has set forth His Word, living by it and teaching others demand responsibilities. Christians are under the grace, not the law, for greater responsibilities.

Song about Jesus the Saviour: At the presentation of Jesus to God in the temple, Simeon who was waiting for consolation of Israel took Jesus and began to sing spirit-inspired songs about him (Luke 2:25-32). The Holy Spirit had assured Simeon that he would see the Messiah before he died. Simeon was described as a righteous man, and one of the few people that were concerned about Israel. Consolation of Israel refers to the coming of Messiah and the beginning of messianic age. Simeon song revealed Jesus as the Saviour, the glory of Israel and the light of all nations.

Joseph and Mary were marvelled at Simeon's song because it buttressed what the angel had told them about Jesus in private. Simeon continued to declare that Jesus' work would bring about fall and rising again of many. His song revealed that not everyone would accept the Messiah. That those who accept him would rise (receive salvation and exaltation), while those who reject him would fall (receive judgement and condemnation). He also sang that Mary's heart would be pierced, meaning that Jesus' death would be sorrowful because it would pay the price of salvation.

Thanksgiving for Redemption: Anna was another person that saw the Messiah and witnessed consolation of Israel in her very old age. She entered the temple at the moment Simeon was speaking about Jesus. She worshipped God and gave thanks for sending Jesus for redemption of Israel (Luke 2:36-38). She also spread the good news to others. Both Simeon and Anna were inspired by the Spirit to speak about Jesus as the One God sent to bring about eternal relationship with His people.

After Joseph and Mary had completed all things stipulated by the law, they went back to their town (Luke 2:39-40). Their obedience portrayed them as just and humble people who loved God. They lived faithful life that impacted the world and promoted eternal values. Lesson texts: Luke 2:21-40.

The Birth of the King
Jesus was born as the Messiah and the king. His birth fulfilled the Old Testament prophesies that God would unveil His kingdom of peace and eternal life through him. Isaiah 7:14 - Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. The followings are discussed: The King is born; The King is sought, and The King is Worshipped.

The King is born: Mary was pregnant during the time she was pledged to be married. Her husband, Joseph had been planning secretly to terminate the engagement (betrothal), knowing they had not married and had no sexual relations. Such development would be treated as adultery with serious consequences that Joseph could not bear. As Joseph was considering what to do with the strange development, the angel of God appeared to him and told him not to fear because Mary's pregnancy was of the Holy Spirit (Mathew:18-21). Mary remained a virgin throughout the time of conception to the birth of her child.

Christ's conception was a miracle that occurred only once in humans and will never occur again. Joseph was relieved by the message from the angel and was confident to take Mary to himself and care for her. Christians should learn from Joseph's experience that when faith in God is tested and happenings are contrary to the expectations, they should keep trusting God. He has purpose for any circumstances and plans the best for those faithfully serving Him. He worked through unusual event Joseph experienced to give the promised Messiah

With the birth of Jesus the old testament prophecy was fulfilled (Isaiah 7:14). 'Immanuel' means God with us, and Jesus, 'the Lord saves'. The presence of Christ is synonymous with the presence of God, and salvation he has brought to the world shows extent of God's love to all people. While Jesus was on the earth he possessed both human and divine identity and his mission was to reconcile people to God and save lives.

The King Sought: Following the birth of Jesus, wise men from the east saw the sign that signified the birth of a king and followed it to locate the King's birth place (Mathew 2: 1-2). The wise men are also known as the astrologers, those who study and define signs of stars. They were pagans but God reached out to them and brought them to Jesus. Their action pointed to Christ's mission which is to reach out to the sinners and lead them to God, the Father. Christians should do all they could to reach out to the lost and bring them to Jesus.

When king Herod got the news of the birth of the new king which was according to old testament messianic prophesy, he sent for religious leaders to give him detailed information about the birth place (Mathew 2:3-8 ). His plan was to prevent another king from emerging in his kingdom. He called the wise men who were being led by the star and told them to locate the child and come back with the information. The star had disappeared by the time the wise men got to the king, but it appeared again when they had left Herod and resumed the journey.

The King is worshipped: The star was very special in that it led the wise men as they moved until they got to exact place Jesus was born in Bethlehem (Mathew 2:9-10). Just as the wise men were neither tired nor distracted to loose the direction to Jesus, Christians should continue in the right direction and ensure they lead others to Christ. Finally the wise men saw Jesus and worshipped him. They didn't go with empty hands, they gave him valuable gifts. With the sacrifice of their time and other resources they acknowledged arrival of the Messiah. Lesson texts: Matthew 1:1:18 through 2:23.

Glory to God (Gloria in Excelsis)

Heavens declared the birth of Jesus and the earth rejoiced over good will and peace of God toward all people. Psalm 29:2 - Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name; worship the Lord in the beauty of his holiness. The followings are discussed: Christ Born at Bethlehem; Angels Proclaimed Glory to God, and Christ Found and Proclaimed.

The time of Christ birth coincided with the time that Caesar Augustus of the Roman Empire made the tax decree which required families to go back to their ancestral home town to be counted and taxed. The census wasn't by chance, it's coincidence with Christ's birth can be described as an event according to the will of God. Micah had prophesied that the Messiah would be born in a small town of Bethlehem (Micah 5:2). Joseph took Mary, his espoused wife with him and went over a long journey to Bethlehem (Luke 2:1-5).

Christ Born at Bethlehem: Joseph and Mary arrived in Bethlehem and when the day she would deliver was accomplished, there wasn't room for them in the inn that she brought forth her first child in a manger. Scholars have different views about the manger. Some suggested person's home shared with animal, others believed it was an open-air courtyard near the inn. But Luke showed that Christ was born in an obscure and humble place.

Angels Proclaim Glory to God: Most times God used ordinary people to accomplish His purpose. He used shepherds who were abiding in the field, watching over the flock to announce the birth of the Messiah. He sent His angels to the humble group of ordinary people to declare the arrival of the long-awaited Messiah (Luke 2:8-12). The shepherds were afraid when they saw an angel and God's glory was shining around them. God's presence is awesome and those having the encounter can be frightened. The shepherds were told not to be afraid, but to rejoice because God had selected them to declare the good news to all people

The angel was joined by a great host of angels to proclaim praises of God concerning roles the new born Child, the Son of God would play (Luke 2:13-14). That he would bring peace, reconcile humankind to God and through him believers would be ushered into the real presence of God. Christ's coming shows that God has given the world a precious gift that will make it possible for people to enter into eternal relationship with him.

Christ Found and Proclaimed: The shepherds didn't hesitate to go and see the Messiah. Once they got to the place they saw the new born Son and honoured him. They went and told everybody the good news (Luke 2:15-20). While they were sharing the good news Mary was wondering over the glorious events about the birth of her Son. She had been told that her Son would be the Saviour. The shepherd returned, praising and giving glory to God. Lesson texts: Luke 2:1-20

All these predictions are more of wishes than prophesies.

According to the Bible, the language of prophesy is more authoritative as it starts by, thus says the Lord ..., in simple, short and clear statement. And not volumes of wishful thinking.

nawao!

One of Fayose predictions coming to pass?

Another comedy, christianity is a joke

Are you trying to say your religion is a joke? You should be more reasonable in your opinions.

Dexpro:
Thanks. Hope you have started constructing yours

In fact you really try... I have been trying to get a detailed description of processes involved in biodigester construction but I was not satisfied with all information I got previously.

I think I can be able to start from here by the time I finish reading the processes as described. Your type is not common in Nigeria of nowadays where resource persons make themselves so expensive even for information that isnt worth it.

Some questions I might have asked you seemed to have been taken care of in your posts. I want to believe the remaining ones will be fully answered either in the future posts or when I send mail to you.

Remember to send link to the video through my email or watsapp when it is ready.

Thanks. Compliment of the season

Increase in the price again? What about the promised N40 per litre on account that falling price of oil globally should at least bring down the price locally.

The government and its lies sha!

Nice work. Keep it up

I find it difficult to understand why this governor wasn't sincere enough in fighting and defeating boko haram right from its outset. Is he just doing eye service?

Fayose has no projects for 2016, all he wants to do is pay salaries, pay newspaper advert, cut ponmo with other delicate meat and fish anatomy.
He will end it all with holy ghost prayer by december 2016.

greatiyk4u:
Believe it or not, Fayose should be ashamed of himself by now.

What if he is being truthful while others are just lying with the outrageous figures they have given as budget estimates?

Someone with few thousands can beat another boasting millions hands down.
