I asked this question based on what I experienced with 16gb flash drive I bought recently. I created different folders and stored different text and graphic data of about 2gb but to my surprise when I opened the folders a week later I discovered that all were empty - the contents have been erased. Yesternight I created folders again and stored information only to discover this morning that more than half of the folder were empty. Pls what happens with the flash? Is there a way I can make it work for the purpose I bought it for? I wanted to store about 10gb data in it but I wonder if flash drives of higher storage would not be a disappointment.

Sylvyangel: Nairalanders whats your take on this? Why do u think people sleep in the church during service

A cross section of some church members sleeping in the church

such postures can never be real when the service on, God's spirit is moving and people are alive in God. The picture is either deceiving or the worshipers are just waking up from a vigil.

Many things are happening, end of the road for some people while it is time to get some things done by others. God help me when it spells confusion and recklessness. someone gloom! some doom! somebody else hope! I focused my touch light, trying to search the hidden truth! And when it is discovered what will you do about it?

Today’s Topic: Steadfast Faith. This lesson reveals things to take note in order to stand firmly in faith. Satan will always bring challenges such as persecution, temptation and hardships as a test of faith. In a situation like this Jesus used illustration of the parable of seed sower (Matthew 13) to show that, it is by genuine and enduring faith Christians can remain steadfast in him; people that hear the word of God must understand it and live by it to get strength for victory over all trials of Satan. In order to prepare our hearts as good ground for the word of God and build lasting faith in Him we should take note of following principles: Strength in Adversity, Comfort in Affliction and Growth in Love and Holiness.

Christians are encouraged to make their faith grow stronger when going through difficult situation. To achieve this they should visit, encourage and pray for one another. Christians are made to realize that difficulties are parts of human experiences for as long we live in a fallen and imperfect world, where forces of darkness will always wage wars against God’s kingdom. Apostle Paul encourages believers to come and fellowship together for strength and faith needed to face trials together. God doesn’t bring sorrows and troubles to us but He sometimes allows us to experience tough times to test and strengthen our faith and teach us to rely on Him (John 16:33).

Satan will always make situations tight and difficult, and make Christians think as if God has not been involved and taken care about them again, but they must keep faith in His word. He assures us that He will never abandon and forsaken us, and guide us through our dark hours. We should understand that even when situations are bad God is always good, and by having faith in Him He will care for us.

Believers will derive comfort in affliction if they choose to encourage one another and seek God in prayers. Christians should strive to provide for the spiritual and physical needs of others. Prayer is very important for divine intervention to survive odds and overcome persecution. Christians should also care about blessing and encouraging those who minister to them. They have been blessed therefore they should be prepared to bless others in return – from the leaders to the laypeople in the ministry, to show love, concern and strengthen their faith. As we do this we should remember to thank God for all His blessings and specific answers to our prayers.

Christians must grow in love and holiness: there should be increase in compassion and righteous living. Spiritual growth and renewal are signs that we are alive and doing well in Christ. Serving God involves drawing closer to Jesus and becoming more like him. Doing this makes believers to have compassion for the lost souls and teach them to be transformed to the Lord’s image. Holy Spirit changes all aspects of our lives and sets us apart to serve God and ensure that our behaviors are shaped to do God’s will as the process of sanctification continues throughout our lives. May God help us. Lesson text: 1 Thessalonians 3: 1-13

Through ads placed on their site i think

donroxy: I wonder why Tinubu/Buhari and Akande are begging these people to come and Join Progressives even Bukola/Fatah Ahmed ...... Ahahaha !!!

Tis not as if the G7 are having Ideological Problem with PDP, their problem is simply GEJ, I wonder why APC would allowed the G7 to used their platform and defect later which was what Atiku did for ACN ..... !!!

It seems Nigeria is yet to have alternative,I'm still watching events keenly as I'm not yet ready to concede to those who tagged PDP and APC as Bird of feathers !!!

There is nothing progressive in any party as at present with the look of things. The politicians are just using all means to win the consent of the electorates. All they want is your cheap support and vote. The term progressive is not in any party but in individual that determines to rule as such.

khalids: --Change is the most difficult thing in life. Trying to convince people that they are wrong is also a very difficult thing. Telling people to leave their comfort zone is also a very difficult thing. Do you ever wonder why, the first person to suggest that, the world was spherical, was killed. It was because he was saying something that would force them to change their believes, to question themselves, to leave their comfort zone.

Lots of people are born into certain beliefs and its real difficult for them to change those beliefs, in fact its outright scary.

We all need to seat back and weigh what we are told, read with understanding, do our own personal research rather than regurgitating things we have heard and have absolutely no idea of.

Today, we all know the world is spherical, because someone decided to question the beliefs of the day. Only those who seek the truth will find it.

People who are passionate for the truth will like to seek the truth, identify it and hold on to it be it on the physical or the spiritual. In science people have explored so many things and made some discoveries which have changed human perspectives and created many new things. Belief is just a way of appreciating wonders of creation and recognising the mighty Creator. Christianity is based on the truth of Almighty God the Creator, His knowledge and proper way to serve Him. He created and gave humans the power to bring substances into being from existing things. That the world is spherical should not have caused any threat as regards peoples‘ belief about God in line with the doctrine and design of the universe. This fact was also supported in the Bible.

Just these questions. Is this kind of political design good or bad and will you recommend it for all states and ruling parties? And will you be totally satisfied with kind of formula?

I am of the opinion that kings shouldn't be dragged to politics cos their subjects are from different political affiliations, except they have chosen to be politicians, and this will likely bring about contempt and distrust towards to throne.

someone pls reply to this... My login to Aliexpress keep asked me to access the platform thru Alibaba. Are they the same platform to access with the same login details?

Soyedele1: I am not seeing anything

ok, let‘s see if anyone has experienced something similar to that and how he got himself through in the end.

Soyedele1: I am trying to generate activation code for my GTB internet banking in order to activate my token with my account..see what GTB website is telling me

Sorry, you have not acknowledged the terms and conditions for token usage

I have filled the necessary details..pls who is gonna put me through?

May be there is a space in the form that is yet to be checked before sending it for confirmation

Funny tinz. Lol!

Follow the proper way a name is registered and answered in line with what makes sense in your language. whenever such name is altered it becomes meaningless. Hausa, Igbo, Yoruba or any other languages have their ways of saying God or Jesus. A name that sounds meaningfully in your language makes sense to you. Therefore God should be called by a name registered in the language(s) known to you. Be faithful to Him and believe in His name your prayer will be answered. “Jesus“ is registered in English as the name of authority (the messiah) by which prayers are answered by God, and not IJN , so be careful and take note of this. Call the name in your own language for a sure link to present your requests to God.

God can do what is so special: by reading testimonies of others and believing strongly in God - the source of testimony someone can equally be a testifier. It is possible.

muma: @ Ada, yes you can use moringa leaves to substitute ugu, and its better dan ugu.

Pls all , hope i didn't offend anybody by answering without proper introduction.

Well done all

Tested and proven? And from which research confirmation? Real answers pls from any one on moringa leave - better than Ugu and most leaves.

Secondly, all miracles done in the name of Jesus are manifestation of the promise of the gift of Holy Spirit by God our heavenly Father for healing, deliverance and many more. I thank God my Church is living and members are witnesses to mighty work of God. I pray for everyone they has received the miracle. It shall be permanent. Miracles are the Lord doing and they are marvelous in our sights. To all real men of God, your strengths shall be continually renewed for greater work in His vineyard.

Such abbreviation is meaningless and of no effect. It would be like saying G means God which is wrong. I never use such abbreviation sha.

Shame on all leaders over there esp those having input in the lawlessness. From other news you will hear they kill and praise their god for making the evil a safe venture for them. Alas! They killed newly wedded couples who had just received blessings for their union. These wicked beings have continued to pronounce curse on those states of the North, yet the leaders are comfortable to hope for the bleak future that will come as aftermath of all this violence. Don't they know blood will call for vengeance!

For how long will these members of the public continue to catch cheap attention of Nigerians on their proposed exit which they have sung as a threat. Why will they always create confusion daily? Their one leg in and one leg out means they are either confused or unserious. If they have idea and plan for progress they should work it out elsewhere without further delay. They should let us know what they stand for and aim to achieve. By common sense we all know the sky is spacious enough for all birds to fly without colliding with one another. What I mean is if they have genuine cause and serious about it people would be ready to come to their side, but if they continue spreading confusion like this nobody will pay attention to their voice again . It has been long we want to know the real enemies of progress -- whether they are the ones or the set of people remaining in the ruling party.

Can someone interprete this?

Today’s topic: “A wonderful Testimony”. This is about the testimony of Church that faced and survived many hardships when believers were able to base their lives on the word of God unto maturity and steadfastness in faith. By this they were able to make the Church grow and expand. Success will surely come and believers will share testimonies if they work in faith and labour in love (1 Thessalonians 1:3). The followings are important to consider in order have and share testimony of service to God’s work: Set a good example; Emulate Reputable Faith and Model perseverance.

Believers can set good example by trusting God in all difficulties. There are opposing forces against preaching truth of the word of God but when we continue in God our work of faith will survive all odds and come to stay, for the growth of the Church. Believers are expected to live their faith among all people by teaching them, loving them and praying for them. Christians are called to live for Christ, trust him, and teach others his truth, and also their faith must influence their actions. Faith and action make our service complete before God: it is by genuine faith in Christ we realize that life should be dedicated to serving and honoring God, and It is this kind of faith that brings about right relationship with God.

God wants all people to come to Him as His elected people – people predestined for eternal life. Salvation is available for all people that come to God through Christ. The Bible reveals that God calls all to be chosen, elected and predestined to receive everlasting life, but He doesn’t force us to conform to His will for our lives, (2 Peter 3:9; Revelation 22:7)

Christians are to emulate Paul’s example of believer’s faith from this lesson. They hold on to the power of the word of God which enabled them to influence people around and make them come to faith; they were engaged in discipleship and continued to invest in the lives of others. As a Christ disciple live your faith and demonstrate Christian principles for others to follow so that they too can come to God.
People come to faith by hearing, embracing and living by the word of God. Before hearing the word somebody must have taught the word. Everyone that has received the word is expected to speak it out to others: the word is profitable, and people that share the word are blessed (2 Timothy 3:6; Romans 10:15-17). As Christians read the Bible Holy Spirit shows how to follow Christ and live for God.

Christians are to live the Christ’s message they preach, and at the same time they should persevere in love. They should give their best in serving God, that is no Mather how tight the schedule might be they should find time to render a service for the good and growth of the Church: from personal business during the day to preaching/evangelism in the evening. It could be hard to do because people out there might be opposed to the gospel, but God calls us to love and persevere in love. Following Christ means facing challenges with the hope of having success and testimony to glorify God in spite of all odds. May God help us. Lesson text 1 Thessalonians 1:1 thru Chapter 2

Habiz: Lana tullah alai to all other believe boko haram kill for islam...Q5:32...BECAUSE OF THAT WE ORDAINED FOR THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL THAT IF ANYONE KILLED A PERSON NOT IN RETALIATION OF MURDER,OR(AND)TO SPREAD MISCHIEF IN THE LAND-IT WOULD BE AS IF HE KILLED ALL MANKIND,AND IF ANYONE SAVED A LIFE,IT WOULD BE AS IF HE SAVED THE LIFE OF ALL MANKIND.AND INDEED,THERE CAME TO THEM OUR MESSENGERS WITH CLEAR PROOFS EVIDENCES,AND SIGNS,EVEN THEN AFTER THAT MANY OF THEM CONTINUED TO EXCEED THE LIMITS(E.G BY DOING OPPRESSION UNJUSTLY AND EXCEEDING BEYOND THE LIMITS SET BY ALLAH BY COMMITING THE MAJOR SINS)IN THE LAND

IS CHRISTAINTY FOR ALL NATIONS?

Matt15:23-24..i am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of israel...matt 19:28..twelve disciples to judge the twelve tribes of isreal..WHO WILL JUDGE NIGERIANS AND OTHER NATIONS?

it would be a pity for her but unfortunately nobody, even heavenly hosts will not pity her. It pleases her to loose the identity of being a child of God and a member of His family known as the saints - people who are redeemed to God thru Christ. Behaviour like this has been properly described in the Bible, so there is nothing strange here. She was never saved and she has decided to be contented and live that way.

Back to you own post, don't be misguided Christ is the fulfillment of covenant of God for all nations. The covenant started from the old testament and got fulfilled in the new testament. Where else would people pray and Holy Spirit says “thus says the Lord“ in a clear voice for all to hear things for blessings, correction or direction. That is one of the evidences of fulfillment of God‘s covenant for all nations. Only people in God thru Christ know this. Hope you will quote more places in Bible to support reasons you shouldn't be separated away from the truth of Gospel?

Nothing has changed. The same set of people are telling us that they know their ways at the expense of on looking Nigerians who could be maneuvered to settle for just anything. Look at them all they want is your cheap support to place you below them.

arbitrage: I have used GTBank Naira MasterCard and Union Visa cards and they worked well but not in all ATMs abroad but in all Point of Sales (POS). From my user experience in about 5 countries, I will say that both are good but in terms of charges, Union is better because each withdrawal by GTB card is followed by N1,000 charge whereas Union is followed by zero charge.

meaning Union Bank doesn't charge any amount for withdrawing abroad with their visa card! That is good, is the card also minimal in exchange rates compared to others for online purchase and settlement of funds?

dvdami: Absolutely no need of token. Quote me anywhere!

It normally takes 5 working days to get it for those in Lagos. I can help fast track it if you are in Lagos.

I am nt in Lagos presently, I can go and collect the card at any nearby branch. But how will the cards be more secure for online use if the token is not applicable? I think the token is needed to build security for the card against unauthorised use by third party. Pls I would like clear information about this.

dvdami: The two of them are pretty-much the same thing.

Visa Gold is denominated in dollars while Naira Visa Prepaid is denominated in Naira.

I find Naira Visa prepaid more convenient in that I don't have to change my Naira to dollar before payment into my acct unlike Visa Gold.

I have both cards. Visa gold costs 25 usd while Naira Visa Prepaid costs N2,000 naira only.

Thanx, how about the token costs for the two? And the time it takes to get the cards processed and collected?

dvdami: Hi bro, I also have FirstBank Naira MasterCard. I was also charged 166 naira the only time I used it for online payment. I regretted it because there was nothing wrong wt my FBN Naira Visa Card, I just wanted to try MasterCard.

I am very sure of what I am saying bro.

Before exchange rate went up, I was being charged 154.5 naira per dollar. At a time, it rose to 158. Now it is 157 (at least d last time I paid online).

I am sincere bro. Why should I tell lies here? For what?

pls what makes the difference btw FBN visa gold- dollar dominated and the FBN Naira Visa card as regards online transactions?

When people could no longer cope with holiness and godliness as provided by the teachings of Christ they would begin to look for alternatives. In the alternatives they are led away from the truth and become trapped. If people are sincere about the way in which there is truth and life as provided by God for people to walk through and depend on Him without making any sacrifice it is revealed by Christ gospel. Nothing else!

Osama10: The Govt knows all those behind bokoharam but I don't underrstand the hesitation in dealing with them rather than chasing shadows.

How do weapons enter this country?
What is the customs doing?
What is the navy doing?

Everyday I see the NAF doing their daily air patrols in Port harcourt, can't this same patrols be extended to Borno/Yobe states?

Responses of members arrested showed that the menace would be difficult to wipe out because the volunteers are brainwashed and they also get international backing esp from people spreading spreading errors about their faith. I believe any destruction in the name of God is an error of faith

Omexonomy: I believe most people from south west who are far away from the spoils of BH are always praying day and night to see BH succed against gej.
If jtf killes BH in any combat you will see this people crying and shouting than the northerners.
If bh kills jtf they will use it as a rallying point to spite and insult gej .
I want somebody to convince me that 13 volts is not a westerner.

Your observation might be wrong. Majority of the people there are not party to the evils of those brutes. Let there be mentioning of a name of anyone seeing to be working for and supporting them, you will see how such person will be bombarded and seriously dealt with, it would take the grace of God for life not be snuffed out of such person. May be your judgement is based on screen responses here which are not true summaries of the opinions of the majority of people of the South West.
