Where I registered, some people were made to undergo the same exercise twice because the electoral officer were unable to save the data after they have finished capturing the people data. In such situation, I won't be surprised if it shows up as double registration whereas it was the hardware that led to it.
Nonetheless, i think we are making progress irrespective of how slow it is.

Let's not be pessimistic. Something good can come out of Nigeria. You never, can tell, the bill can become law before this year runs out. God is definitely hearing the cry of the masses.

Thanks be to the Almighty God that hoodlums will not have an excuse for unleashing mayhem on innocent citizens today. Trust me, if the judgement has been otherwise, so miscreants will simply jump on the street and start molesting innocent passerby in the name of protest.

By the way, I am neither in support of the judgement nor against it. Too many unanswered questions makes the whole case complicated. Also, I do not trust any of the parties to the case  

Let the hypocrisy stop! We all know that the bible never outlined how a marriage ceremony should be conducted. But important issues that cannot be brushed aside were given detailed attention.

1. Sex is reserved for married couples (it doesn't matter what your opinion or mine is).

2. Marriage is not just a matter of consent between two. The parents have a role to play.

3. As believers, we are expected to conduct ourselves in such a way as will bring glory to God.

If you agree to the about, then I can give my verdict on the question raised as follows.
Two adults can get married using the traditional ceremony (if nothing is done within the ceremony that is unbiblical - e.g flogging the would-be bridegroom like we have in some cultures).
Once the parents gives their consent and the would-be couple comes out in the open to declare their intention, they can be joined together as husband and wife. As Christian it is only wise to have a minister do the joining. After they have being declared husband and wife to the society, there is no more restriction.

Wait, before you jump to conclusion, I am not done yet

What we have in Nigeria is quite different. We have a situation whereby couples undergo as much as 3 ceremonies before the society accepts them as being married.
- They go to the registry.
- They conduct traditional wedding.
- They cap it all up with a white/church wedding.

If a couple decides to conduct just any of the above, it will be enough and ok.

However, if a couple decides to do two or more before feeling satisfied that they have fulfill all righteousness, then they must wait until all have been done before they can start having sexual intercourse.

And that is the point. If two people are already having sexual intercourse, why should they lie to the SOCIETY and attempt to lie to God by conducting CHURCH WEDDING?

If you are already having sexual intercourse after your traditional wedding, simply go and ask your pastor to bless the marriage you have already conducted. Don't go about wearing white gown (which originally is meant to signify virginity) [/i]and ask a pastor to join you and your spouse [i](when you have already done so). That will amount to hypocrisy!

I guess the haters will have us sit on the ground. Yet they won't honor any invitation to a gathering if they have a foreknowledge of the fact that the occasion (e.g. a wedding) will be conducted while guests sit on bare floor.

The auditorium which they are criticizing has been an open field for years. The worshipers gathered there in all those years under the harsh weather conditions to worship and none of the hypocrites wagged their tongues.

Now the same worshipers decided to build a covering over their heads and it has become an issue. Thank God the auditorium is not a personal property of Pastor Adeboye, some of the haters would have sent EFCC to RCCG to investigate our tithes and offerings.

@follyq
Please tell them. Instead of them to pursue all those rogue former governors and government officials that stole the peoples money, they are busy insulting us and an innocent man that has done them no wrong.

@all the critics
If we decided to gather our money and build an auditorium that you consider too expensive, what pain is that to you? If your money is not involved, why complain.

As at yesterday it was N118.5 to $1

@omerese
Your request is in direct conflict with the admonition in Philippians 4:8
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
(KJV)

I will rather employ my mind in better endeavors.

@ all
Na wa o

Gal 6:7 Don't be misled; remember that you can't ignore God and get away with it: a man will always reap just the kind of crop he sows! (TLB)

If you steal another woman's husband, the devil will surely pay you back with interest.

I have the joy of the Lord that is not dependent on people or circumstances. It is far better than happiness that is dependent on events.

This is unbelievable. So what happens if dollar is scrapped?

When men refuse to acknowledge God as GOD. He gives them over to a reprobate mind so that they will begin to do things that are unimaginable to a sane man.


Rom 1:28 Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. (NIV)

The scripture can not be broken.

@star
God bless you for your response to EBOS.

WAEC has to do something, the frustration is simply getting too much

politics

Me, None of the above

I don't need to because I am always rebooting. Wait you don't belief me. It is the truth.

Without my consent, big brother NEPA a.ka. NEP Plc , PHCN is always unplugging the power. Hey, before you accuse me of not using UPS, I have about 4 that their batteries have been run down.

@ All, thanks for your educative contribution. When I get a laptop I will surely make use of some of the nice tips. Cheers

If Nigerians are pessimistic, Who is to blame? The politician of course. They blab about how they will make Nigeria better than New York if they come to power. But alas, they cannot deliver in simple basic infrastructures and amenities.
How can someone be talking about planning for 15years when they cannot even successfully plan for 12months.

I beg all of them should stop imagining that the citizens are gullible. We are not.

After 100 days in office, they are yet to lay down a plan on how to solve the problem of electricity. All that OBJ administration achieved in that sector is constant naming ceremony for the inefficient government's [b]electric power authority. N.E.P.A, N.E.P Plc, PHCN [/b]very soon we will read about another naming ceremony for the organisation.
Let the Federal Government tell us, what its plan is for the remaining part of 2007. Then they can give us their plan for the year 2008. That is the way it is done in well organized society.

Talking about 2020 while the legislators are busy debating on how much their "speaker" is supposed to use for renovation is simply not convincing.

How can we be talking about 2020 when the ordinary citizens are dying because of deadly pot-holes on our Federal roads. For eight years, the last administration was planning on how they will dualize the Benin - Lagos road. So many lives and goods have been lost and yet, nothing is achieved. Now we are being told of paradise come 2020.

" I beg, let's talk about something much more serious" "Na person wey dey alive go see 2020" " No be person wey in whole family don pafuka say because of in put[b] I pass my neighbour[/b] inside room dose off" (Too many Nigerians have died from fumes from generator).

@Felix_Weah
It is very wrong to speak before thinking. Since this is a public forum that serve Nigerians and those that Love Nigerians it is surely the worst place to make the blunder you just did.

@Seun
I thought the forum rule says we will be saved from disgusting insults such as this post. I personally feel offended that this post with its insulting title is allowed to remain as if the admin has gone on vacation. Please kindly re-phrase the title.

@All
If the original poster was aiming at drawing attention, then he should not be allowed to have his way. There was really nothing new or educative in his post. Unfortunately, instead of subsequent posters to focus on this, they got distracted and started debating on other issues.

Yes. But what you pay as tax will depend on how big it is.
If it is the type we call "Mama Put" then you will need to pay only small levies to the local government of the area.
However, if it is well furnished with a distinguished name or registered as a Limited Liability Company, then you will surely require an accountant to educate you on the kind of taxes you will need to pay.
Hope this helps

This is interesting. Check this one, it is newly created by a friend Saved by Jesus

You've got a nice blog. I am challenge to build something similar to it.
A friend has this blog www.brotee..com maybe you could exchange link with him

Bros thanks for the information. This is unacceptable. Hard earned money being lost to "ATM con Machine". God forbid.

Thanks to all who posted those funny pictures. I had a good laugh.

Say what you like. Believe what you want. One thing is sure. Nigeria is moving forward. It may not be as fast as we all desire, but we will eventually get there.
Some years back, nobody bothers to ask or insist that our leaders should declare what they are worth. I see a future whereby an ordinary Nigeria will be in a position to query the validity of assets declared by leaders.
Let's just be a little bit patient with the system as new events unfolds.

Na wa for Naija
wetin we dey look for sef
Na fine president, smart looking president or BETTER NAIJA?

Another senseless policy to further increase the cost of living. God save Nigeria from insensitive leaders.

Of course it is the poor man on the street that will eventually pay the levy. For sure the manufacturing companies will simply adjust the final cost of their product. At the end of the day, it will be cheaper to buy foreign made goods rather than those made in Nigeria.
I think some of our leaders need to go back to school and learn some basic things in Economics.

@coloba
I still believe in Miracles. Miracles still happen.
Never mind what people say. If you don't give up, you will surely have a wonderful testimony to tell at the end of the day.

However, you owe it as a duty to inform your fiancee. Ask yourself this question. If I were in her shoes, will I love to be told? If you truly love her, you will tell her the truth now before she discover on her own. Cos having posted this topic, it is no longer a secret. Even if nobody knows you, God can still reveal it to her in a vision or dream. So don't deceive yourself into thinking you can keep her by hiding the truth from her.
Actually, sin prosper in darkness. So let the light shine in. You will be pleasantly surprise what God will do with such sincerity.
Shalom
