Christianity EtcRe: If A Man Has Multiple Wives And Becomes A Christian, What Is He Supposed To Do? by santos247(m): 10:17pm On Jun 21, 2016
Quoting Romans 7:1-3 to defend d release or divorce of 2nd and 3rd wife in a polygamy is trying to use the bible to suit your argument. That was not what Paul meant in that passage of the bible either in syntax or context !!!

Christianity EtcRe: If A Man Has Multiple Wives And Becomes A Christian, What Is He Supposed To Do? by santos247(m): 9:25pm On Jun 21, 2016
We must be careful to make assertions for God. The woman should go but the children should be catered for?? Lol. The tree should be cut but the fruits should be collected in a barn and kept for next year planting isnt ithuh
See, God does not subscribe to polygamy. Nevertheless, he also hates putting away.
Whosoever marries a woman divorced comitts adultery.
So those women should remain unmarried?? You think that's God's planhuh?

I doubt it. On the side of caution, keep your wives and stay in the path of Jesus. You wont loose heaven because you were a polygamist before you met Jesus



Scholar8200:
Indeed God hates divorce, but divorce only comes up where marriage existed. Malachi 2:14-16 speaks on terms of the wife (not wives) of thy youth. It also said God made BOTH ONE. Emphasizing that it is between 2 not more. Besides, Jesus established this when He quoted Genesis that they are no more 2( not 3 or more) but 1.

Now realise that certain things passed under the OT due to hardness of heart and limited revelation which we cannot emulate in the NT! Eg polygamy. For a married man to think of taking another wife means he had been committing adultery in his heart, admiring and desiring another woman while his wife was alive!!!

Hence the other 'wives' will go and the first remains! But of course, the children of the other women are to be catered for by the man.

Since Jesus taught that marriage to a divorcee is adultery, I wonder how some here seek to justify marriage to a married man!!!
Christianity EtcRe: If A Man Has Multiple Wives And Becomes A Christian, What Is He Supposed To Do? by santos247(m): 9:18pm On Jun 21, 2016
The bible does not in any place state that a polygamist should or must divorce his extra wives once he becomes a christian.

Every acation He does before he becomes a christian is as good as error..Marrying the first, 2nd or 3rd wife. All was done outside of God's perfect will.
He that marries somebody that has been divorced is also guilty according to the bible. So those divorced women should re-main unmarried for lifehuh
God's package of reconcilliation is not to burden us to to make us strong.
If you marry a witch, God does not love divorce. Stay with her. How much more a second, 3rd of 4th wife.

Keep them all in your home and enjoy the Love of the father !!!!

EducationRe: Unilag Students Sleep Outside Over Re-absorption Forms (photos) by santos247(m): 8:17am On May 04, 2016
The intellectual class in Nigeria isa more worrisome sector compared to the political class.
How can the management or senate of a university subject its students to impunity at will? Re-absorption form, school closure at will, victimisation of student leaders, banning and un-banning of student unions etc... I have witnessed violent student protests in schools outside nigeria (i do not condone lawlessness) and appreciate how the authorities resolved issues with dignity.
2. The same university senate who decides the fate of a student caught cheating in an exam will also allocate admission quotas to themselves. Shame !!! I see no diiference.
Unilag students should insist on dignified treatment from their village University VC

PoliticsRe: Why We Must All Support The Grazing Bill For The Fulani's by santos247(m): 1:59pm On Apr 19, 2016
Bros, pack well !!!. Nigeria still import most of its poultry and fish consumption. Tell me why cattle farmers should get prefrential treatment as against other livestock and other farmer groups. Every cattle farmer should device a means of getting feed for its animals. Shikena. If theres no feed, sell off the animals. Close the bussiness and start trading intextile.
PassingShot:
What's your point here? It is the pastoral normads that have ensure self sufficiency for the country in terms of meat production since the birth of Nigeria. I am not aware about us depending on imported meat to meet our meat demands.


You're free to establish piggery anywhere you deem fit. The biggest piggery in Nigeria used to be in the North. What's your point here?


You're a big joke right? from time immemorial, the Nigerian cattle farmers have been known to move about with their cattle, grazing and destroying farmlands in the process. Why did all past govts fail to force them to "acquire land from existing land systems"?


Some of you are too naïve to understand that we already have the challenge with us and solutions must be proffered. Instead of being emotional about it and spewing trash, why not we suggest workable alternatives to the govt's plan rather than maintaining the hard posture that bring continued fights and destructions?

If you do not support the govt plan, please tell us the realistic alternative way for govt to take these herdsmen out of the street and the farms?
The answer should not be "they must buy lands from their operation locations, bla bla bla" without telling us how to ensure it happens.
PoliticsRe: Why We Must All Support The Grazing Bill For The Fulani's by santos247(m): 11:39am On Apr 19, 2016
This OP missed a lots of point in his advocacy for Grazzing fields for cattle herders.
1. tell me a single country where their livestock production depends on peasant and pastoral normads and acheive self sufficiency in mmeat production? Botswana is the only major exporter of meat to EU in Africa and yet all their cattle production is based on sendentary systems (not roaing of cattle across miles of distance)
2. If the Fulani man has every right to graze in every part of Nigeria, i want to start pork production and i want my pigs to graze the fields in Kano, Sokoto and Katsina.. I will develop a system where my pigs will feed on fresh grass of the Kano emirate and produce good quality meat. shocked shocked shocked shocked. Dont i have that right too??
3. Cattle production is just a bussiness venture like Poultry, pig, Fish farming etc. Every prospective farmer must acquire land from existing land systems in the respective locations and abide by every existing local laws.
4. How much tax do the CAttle rearers pay to the natonal purse from their sales of cattlehuh
Government should ban in totalty the roaming of cattle in Nigeria. In South Africa, every farmer acquires large expanse of land and graze their animals within that territory. Why is it different in Nigeriahuh
I am an animal scientist and i know the dynamics of the present system. We cant not continue this way for long. Government must forget about the ethnic and religious sentiments to move this country forward

PoliticsRe: Was Ex-president Jonathan A Prophet When He Said This? by santos247(m): 5:01pm On Feb 19, 2016
Let Jonathan and his co-travellers go and sit down. They brought our nation to its knees by what they did and what they failed to do. If we had built our reserves during rainy days, we would be able to insulate against the dwindling prices of crude in the world market. THose who claim Buhari and the CBN are wrong, i dare ask...What alternative policies do they suggesthuh
As a lay man, i have considered this:
Devaluation of naira: Genuine importers of raw materials will buy dollar at 350-400 naira, price of their finished good will increase. Purchasing power of everyone will drop. including the masses who dont deal with forex, BDC etc.

What is the proportion of Nigerians that is affected by 1 dollar = 350 naira today compared to when naira is devaluated??
With the current regime, Every demand for forex outside genuine importers of raw matertials buy at black market (including those of us who buy cloths from Aliexpress, ebay etc..), including those who enjoy luxurious Dubai travels. Does the current regime affect Mr Salako who eats Garri (ijebu), Tomatoe (Kano), Onion (Sokoto), and Beans (Adamawa) and palm oil (Ondo)huh Does it affect the cost of taking the average civil servant from his house to workhuh Does it affect the cost of buying 1 bag of Dangote cement to continue his 2 bedroom bungallowhuh
Am sure tie and dye from Abeokuta or Aba made Jeans shoudnt be affected. So who are the real victims of this current regime of FX over-demand in the market?? My lay man perspective you may say.........
PoliticsHav U Or Anyone U Know Successfully Obtained Loan From National Housing Fund by santos247(op):
[1]The Federal Mortgage bank was established to manage fnds accruable from the National Housing Fund (NHF) and backed by law.
[2]All workers in Public and private sector contribute 2.5% of their salaries to this fund.
[3] The fund is supposed to provide laons up to 15 Million naira to citizens to build houses.
[4] If well managed, the size of FMB asset should be close to that of Pension commission which was established just recently. Read more here: http://www.fmbn.gov.ng
.
.
How many employed people in Nigeria have benefited from this fund since 24 years of its existencehuh?
Isnt it right for the laws establishing the NHF and FMB be amended to meet the housing deficits in the country particularly those employed in the formal sectors of the economyhuh
Shouldn't government make arrangement to channel these funds to infrastructural development projects just as Fashola have nursed the idea that Pension funds be invested in infrastructural developments projects with low risk and guaranteed returnshuh
What is the fate of Employed people who contribute 2.5% of their salaries to this fund and retire without benefiting at all from the NHFhuh?
Will our 109 senators be able to make appropriate legislation to address these concerns??

quote author=Fulaman198 post=40363746]The guy who told you that has absolutely no idea of what he is talking about. Fanless designs on 14 - 22 nm processes as starting to be the norm. Look at the Core-M powered machines and core atom newer processors like that in the recent Surface 3.

Chips are far more efficient now, and most laptop chips are soldered onto the motherboard unless the chip is a Core i7 MQ/MX chip.

In any case, the guy doesn't know his stuff.[/quote]
ComputersWhats It About Microprocessors And Fans? by santos247(op): 4:06pm On Nov 24, 2015
Dear House,
I bought a laptop early this year ASUS and it stopped working, while trying to fix it, my technician told me such laptops whoose processors are assembled on motherboard do not last unlike those whoose processors are detachable. He also said some newer laptops do not come with fans and i should avoid buying such types. The laptop has refused to come up and it appears the motherboard may have developed EBOLA. I have ended up selling it as a scrap. Are these information true?? Which models are brands are easy to manage and service in the market today?
I want to shop for a RELIABLE and DURABLE replacement. Please advise me on brands and specific models to buy for a low to middle budget class. I use my laptop mainly for Academic research, web browsing but enjoy music and videos. I hardly play games.
Pls give me specific brands and models that are very DURABLE for research student like me.
Thanks
