“We can divide all women in the world into two distinct categories: those who are haraam and those who are makrooh. Now the difference between haraam and makrooh is that the former is categorically forbidden while the latter is really really disliked.” Hajias all over the world see yourself.  under heat and cold you have been pious. See for yourself now...Which category did you belong to; Haram or Makrooh. But absolutely we Christian love you the way you are only if those fanatics will not hang you for loving us.  Above all Jesus loves you most. |

“We are taking measures to ensure that our armouries are secured. We agree and are aware Boko Haram has stolen arms,” Olukolade said while responding to an inquiry by one of the participants of the Twitter chat. Whoever wants to discredit the military should be given a uniform and a gun and sent to Maiduguri. The bolded is the big question, "how were those arms stolen if there are no moles in the military? The moles should be dealt with thoroughly to save the military from all this shame. |

You can only be deceived while you harbor deception.  Census Officials have been threatened over time to count living and non-living things or loose their lives while on duty in some areas of the north. Yet no government is interested in checking this excesses. May be the south is equally guilty. I have been to some places in the north and the south equally, but something keep telling me we are just trying to outdo each other on issues of census in this country.  |

I collected a bit of necessities. Sir Akinkunmi, to be honest you've really enjoyed the labour of our heroes past. Haba! Even now, you have to be grateful to God and GEJ.

“Inasmuch as I am shocked and distressed by the incident, I wish to appeal to Christians in Nigeria to remember that a war has been waged against the Nigerian church. This war is being fought on many fronts and this unfortunate incident is another dimension in the assault against the church. “It is clear that those who manipulated this conspiracy desire to create a schism in the church.” According to him, “the media hype and the deliberate distortion of information that followed it confirmed that forces that desperately desire to cause division and disunity in the church are at work. Even the devil knows that a house that is divided cannot stand. If Cardinal Okogie should read the bolded..Hmm, the reply will be disastrous.  |

Politics › Al-qaeda Threatens West And Arab Nations. by RockMaxi(op): 2:40pm On Sep 29, 2014 |
Nusra threatens West and Arab nations Last updated: 24 hours ago Al- Qaeda vows retaliation over military operation in Syria as air raids target ISIL fighters besieging Kurdish town . The Syrian branch of al-Qaeda has promised retaliation over air strikes in Syria , as the US -led coalition widened its assault on ISIL targets and British jets flew their first combat missions over neighbouring Iraq. In its first reaction to the US -led military operation in Syria , the Nusra Front said the air strikes were a " war against Islam" , and threatened to attack the worldwide interests of participating Western and Arab countries . A US attack on a Nusra base in Aleppo on the first day of the air campaign killed dozens of the group' s fighters. Nusra - listed as a terrorist group by the US and the UN - is one of the most powerful groups fighting the Syrian regime . It has also declared ISIL its sworn enemy .

In a video posted online on Saturday, a Nusra spokesman threatened the coalition partners . " These states have committed a horrible act that is going to put them on the list of jihadist targets throughout the world , " Abu Firas al- Suri said . " This is not a war against al- Nusra , but a war against Islam ." The US has been supported in its Syria air campaign by Arab allies Bahrain, Jordan, Qatar , Saudi Arabia and the UAE . The warning came on a day the Pentagon said seven targets were hit in Syria , including at the border crossing into Turkey of the Kurdish town of Ain al-Arab , called Kobane by Kurds, which has been under siege by fighters of ISIL. The US Central Command said an ISIL building and two armed vehicles were destroyed in the strikes. ISIL' s campaign in the area has driven 160 , 000 refugees into Turkey and hundreds more , clutching whatever they could grab, crossed the border on Saturday. Al Jazeera' s Stefanie Dekker , reporting from the Turkish side of the border, said the Kurds who had left their homes in Syria seemed to be disappointed by the US -led air campaign . " Many of the people we have spoken to do not see the usefulness of the strikes as the ISIL continues to push into their areas, " she said .
Hit by ISIL rockets
The UK- based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group said ISIL rockets hit Ain al-Arab after the strikes , for the first time since the group' s assault began on September 16, wounding 12 people . As part of Saturday' s assault, coalition aircraft targeted the Euphrates valley city of Raqqa , which ISIL fighters have made the headquarters of the " caliphate" they declared in June over a vast area comprising parts of Iraq and Syria . The US and Arab allies began air strikes against ISIL and in Syria on Tuesday, more than a month after the Pentagon launched an air campaign against the self - declared jihadists in Iraq. The US had been reluctant to intervene in Syria , but acted after ISIL captured more territory and committed widespread atrocities, including beheading three Western hostages . More countries , including the UK , are involved in strikes in Iraq. On Saturday, jets took off from Britain ' s RAF Akrotiri on Cyprus for Iraq but returned to base without dropping their laser -guided bombs . Belgium and Denmark have also approved plans to join France and the Netherlands in targeting ISIL in Iraq, allowing the US to focus on the more complex operation against its Syria base . In a related development , Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Turkey could take a military role in the coalition , the Hurriyet daily reported on Saturday. He said the government would go to parliament with a motion on October 2 , after which " all the necessary steps" would be taken. Source: http://m.aljazeera.com/story/2014927224526662127 |
Politics › Taiwo Akinkunmi: National Flag Designer Appointed Special Assistant to President by RockMaxi(op): 2:21pm On Sep 29, 2014*. Modified: 5:10pm On Sep 29, 2014 |
Born on the 10th of May, 1936 in Owu, Abeokuta the capital of Ogun State Nigeria.

Taiwo Akinkunmi attended the Baptist Day School and Ibadan Grammar School, both in Ibadan, for his primary and secondary education before joining the old Western Region’s government as a clerical officer in the civil service after which he proceeded to the United Kingdom to further his studies. It was during his study abroad that Akinkunmi had the opportunity to write his name on the sand of history and he did not fail to do so. Prior to Nigeria’s independence, Akinkunmi was resident in London as a student of Norwich Technical College in West Norwich when he saw an advertisement in the newspaper of a competition for the design of national flag for independence celebration of his dear country. He became interested and took part in the grand contest for the design of the national flag as independence beckoned and emerged the winner of the keenly contested competition, over 2000 entry was received by the British Colonial administration. The reason for his emergence as winner is simple; his imaginative presentation of the Green -White-Green flag was quite meaningful. The green symbolises the nation’s prospects, particularly her rich agricultural endowments just as the white portrays unity and peace. On completion of his education in Britain, he returned to Nigeria in 1964 and had a civil service career in the then Western Region, where he worked in the Ministry of Agriculture from where he retired in 1994. https://thenationonlineng.net/new/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/nigeria-flag4.jpg

Acts 11:26 And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.
Rev 22:13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
Rev 22:16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.
Christianity means "Christ like", the disciples were called Christ like in Antioch because of the resemblance in actions to Jesus Christ. So read the above scriptures and get the understanding. The quotes from Revelation is to tell you who Jesus is. |
