They took enough time to edit these pictures

Good morning house. Pls I've been trying to reload my sister's picture on her eportal profile but it doesn't click. Kindly offer any advise because the picture there now is on a white background.

TokyoBulls:
Uber does not accept any car older than 2009 so you need another car. You determine what you earn. While it is possible to earn N150,000, it is also possible to earn N40,000 per week. You own your own destiny. If you work hard, you can earn N100,000 after Uber with N30,000 fuel and N10,000 for toll/data/car wash and you can keep N10,000 for car maintenance/servicing/repairs. The balance N50,000 is yours if you drive yourself and the car is yours. If you maintain the car well and become more frugal, you will save some part of the N20,000 and earn more. The best is to drive the car yourself if you can. Full time of course. The second best is to get a driver to drive the car full time. Part time is off it.

Thanks for your response, I would like to know if this analysis is based on the current fuel price and Uber charges.

Good day house, please I need to clarify lots of things here,
1. Does Uber accept Toyota Forerunner 2003 or I get a Toyota camry 2009?
2. How certain do I get returns on investment, especially with this fuel price hike?
3. Would it be advisable to do Part-time or Full-time or get a driver full-time?
Other questions would be forwarded soon. Thanks for your response

thanks

#20 killed it. you are a dealer

a well maintained toyota fore runner (03) is available at reasonable price . conact me on 08074041942.
Back to your question, I would advice you buy any model of toyota because it lasts longer & fuel efficient. The Forerunner I talked about earlier is in a perfect condition and has never given me a major issue, just normal servicing.

@globalvillager I hope you went through the passage you gave (Deut 12:17). Take note of verse 18 talking about the Levites.
who are the Levites and what are the differences between the Levites and the priests?
The passage to which reference is made is the story of
the good Samaritan. In short, all priests are Levites,
being selected from the tribe of Levi, but not all Levites
are priests.
Those Levites who were not priests were assigned duties
connected with the tabernacle (Numbers 3-4). They
assisted the priests (Numbers 1:50; 3:6, 8; 16:9; 1
Chronincles 9:22, 26f; 23:2-4, 28; Ezra 3:8-9.), tyhey
prepared the cereal offerings (1 Chronincles 23:28-32),
and they cared for the courts and the chambers of the
sanctuary. Later, the Levites were involved in interpreting
the law and thus functioned as teachers (Nehemiah 8:7,
9; 2 Chronicles 17:7-7; 35:3). The Levites were explicitly
permitted to go near the sacred furniture, and this special
privilege distinguished them from ordinary Israelites
(Num. 8:19; 16:9-10.; 18:22-23). By virtue of this
responsibility they were charged with the work of the tent
of meeting (tabernacle) that included its dismantling,
transportation, and reassembly at a new site (Numbers
1:48-54; 4:3-15; 18:6). This was a requirement of all
Levites between the ages of twenty-five and fifty
(Leviticus 8:24-26). The Levites were able to approach
the sacred furniture only when it was covered (Numbers
18:3). The Levites were inducted into their role through a
series of ceremonies that included shaving of the body,
sacrifice, the laying on of hands, and a solemn
presentation to God (Numbers 8:5-13). They were
supported by a tithe of the people (Leviticus 27:32-33;
Numbers 18:21, 24), but a tenth of the tithe was to be
given to the priests (Numbers 18:26-28).
The anointing of Aaron and his sons with the same oil as
the tabernacle furniture implies that the priesthood
shared the holiness of the tabernacle (Exodus 30:22-29;
40:9-11; Leviticus 8:10-11; Numbers 7:1). The function
of the priests was primarily concerned with offering
sacrifices on the altar. This included the sprinkling of
blood and burning portions of sacrifices (Leviticus 1). The
priests also blessed the people in the name of God
(Deuteronomy 10:8; 21:5). Such responsibilities were an
important part of the covenantal relationship between
God and Israel. The priests were responsible for carrying
the ark of the covenant (Deuteronomy 10:8; 31:9, 25).
While the differences discussed here are not the only
differences, they are sufficient to show the distinctions
between the Levites and the priests. Today there is no
Levitical priesthood nor Levites to assist them did they
exist. When Jerusalem was destroyed in A.D. 70 the
Jews lost the capacity to determine their tribal lineage.
Judaism as a religion of God came to an end. Today both
Jew and Gentile are one in Christ -- there is no longer
any distinction between the two. (Galatians 3:28) In the
New Testament Christians constitute spiritual Israel and
are the spiritual descendants of Abraham. (Rom. 9:7-8;
Gal. 3:7- In Hebrews, there is a lengthy discussion of
the “better high priest” that we enjoy as Christians. This,
of course, necessitated a change in both the law and the
priesthood. The Law of Moses established and supported
the Levitcal priesthood. Since Christ was not of the tribe
of Levi, He could not have been a priest if that law were
still in effect. (Hebrews 7:12-13). Moreover, under the
New Covenant all Christians are priests. (1 Peter 2:5, 9)

Why do people tithe to the church? The reasons are
many. As I considered my own motivation, I
discovered at least 10 reasons to tithe and why I
give ten percent of my income to the church. A
study of these reasons will help us to understand
the great blessing of tithing and the biblical
responsibility to tithe.
1. To Honor the Creator.
“Render… unto God the things that are
God’s” (Matthew 22:21).
Acquisitiveness is one of the basic drives of
mankind. Children grasp their toys and cry, “Mine!”
Someone has noted three attitudes in the parable of
the good Samaritan. The priest and the Levite had
the attitude, “What’s mine is mine and I’m going to
keep it!” The thieves had the attitude “What’s yours
is mine, and I’m going to get it!” The Samaritan had
the attitude, ‘What’s mine is yours, and you can
have it.” There is another attitude that should
permeate our thinking, even above the
commendable attitude of the Samaritan. That is,
“Everything we have belongs to God, and we are
stewards of His goods'”
God owns the entire world and its substance. “The
earth is the LORD”S, and the fulness thereof” (Psalm
24:1). “Behold, all souls are mine” (Ezekiel 18:4).
“The silver is mine, and the gold is
mine” (Haggai2:. It is God who gives people the
power to obtain wealth (Psalm 75:6-7; Ecclesiastes
5:19). We are not to glory in what God has given
us, but to glory in Him (Jeremiah 9:23-24).
Why should I be grudge God ten percent when
everything actually belongs to Him? If it were not for
Him, there would be no land, no seed, no strength,
no income, and no life. How generous He is to tell
us, “”he tithe… is the LORD’S”! (Leviticus 27:30).
2. To Acknowledge My Heritage.
“And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed,
and heirs according to the promise” (Galatians
3:29).
Abraham was the first tithe payer of record(Genesis
14:20). Abraham’s grandson, Jacob, paid tithes
(Genesis 28:22). Scripture says that Levi,
Abraham’s descendant and the father of the tribe
from which the priesthood came, paid tithes in
Abraham (Hebrews 7:9). My heritage of paying a
tithe precedes the law of Moses. As a child of
Abraham and an heir of the promise of Abraham. I
acknowledge my family relationship by paying
tithes.
Jesus said to the Jews, “If ye were Abraham’s
children, ye would do the works of Abraham” (John
8:39). It would be strange to claim to be a child of
Abraham and yet to neglect one of Abraham’s most
fundamental and noteworthy acts. I pay my tithes as
a spiritual descendant of Abraham, the father of the
faithful.
3. To Fulfill the Covenant.
“For if that which is done away was glorious, much
more that which remaineth is glorious” (II
Corinthians 3:11).
In every comparison of the law of Moses and the
new covenant that came by Jesus Christ, the new
covenant stands supreme. The characteristic word
in the Book of Hebrews is better, and everything is
better about the new covenant. If the law demanded
tithes, then how much more should we who are
under the “perfect law of liberty” give our tithes
willingly. (See James 1:25). If the law is written in
the fleshly tables of our hearts and we follow God’s
commands not from outward rules but because of
our new nature, then how quickly and how easily we
should give the tenth that belongs to the Lord” (See
II Corinthians 3:3-6).
Some people say, “Oh, we do not pay tithes,
because tithing was under the law.” If that is a
sufficient reason for not paying tithes, then we
could also mistreat our parents, for the law said,
Honour thy father and thy mother” (Exodus 20:12).
In actuality, we honor our father and mother and we
give our tithes because the principles of the law are
written in our hearts by the Spirit of God. We give
willingly and liberally because the Spirit motivates
us to give what God has said is His.
4. To Show My Love.
“Many waters cannot quench love” (Song of
Solomon 8:7).
Love is the strongest motivation in the world. I have
seen bumper stickers that say, “If you love Jesus,
honk you horn!” Anyone can honk his horn. But
David said, “Neither will I offer…unto the LORD my
God of that which doth cost me nothing” (II Samuel
24:24). Someone should print a sticker that says, “If
you love Jesus, pay your tithes!”
For someone who genuinely loves the Lord, the tithe
is only the beginning of his giving. He gives not only
his tithe, but also offerings (plural), not grudgingly
and not of necessity, but cheerfully with love.
5. To Fulfill an Obligation.
“Ye pay tithe…:these ought ye to have done, and not
to leave the other undone” (Matthew 23:23).
Jesus did not criticize the Pharisees for paying
tithes. He commended them. He said it was
something they “ought” to have done. The word
ought expresses an obligation or duty. It is one of
the strongest words in the English language. To pay
tithes is something every Christian ought to do.
The word ought has three meanings: (a) obligation
or duty; as in, “He ought to pay his debts”, (b)
desirability; as in, “You ought to eat more slowly”,
(c) expectancy or probability; as in, “I ought to be
through by Monday.” Each one of these meanings
puts an obligation upon the Christian. It is desirable
for him to pay his tithes, he is expected to pay his
tithes, and he has a duty to pay his tithes.
6. To Escape Condemnation.
“Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me… in
tithes and offerings” (Malachi 3:.
How sad it is that people who are honest in
business and who pay their debts to the bank, the
store, and the government will not pay God what
belongs to Him! Sometimes people quibble about
whether they are “paying” or “giving” tithes, but
both terms seem appropriate. The tithe is the Lord’s
and He expects us to pay it to Him; at the same
time, He does not receive it until we give it to Him.
He does not give us the authority to use His tithes
for other purposes, but we have the power to spend
it as long as it is in our hands. Nevertheless, a
person is condemned if he spends God’s money.
7. To Spread the Gospel.
“So hath the Lord ordained that they which preach
the gospel should live of the gospel” (I Corinthians
9:14).
God has ordained for people to be saved by the
preaching of the gospel (I Corinthians 1:21). “How
shall they hear without a preacher?” (Romans
10:14).
Tithing is God’s way of supporting the ministry. In
the Old Testament, the Levites and the priest were
God’s minister to the nation of Israel, and they were
supported by tithes. In the New Testament, God has
called people to minister the gospel. These
ministers can be more effective if they do not have
to provide for their livelihood by working on a
secular job but can devote themselves full time to
the work of God. They need time to give themselves
to prayer and to the ministry of the Word.
It is not wrong for a man to labor with his hands,
nor should a minister feel too good to engage in
honest labor. Yet God’s plan is for those who
preach the gospel to live of the gospel. When God
inspired Moses to write that the people should not
put a muzzle on the box that labored, God was not
as concerned with the ox as He was with the
principle that a laborer should receive his livelihood
from his work. The application of this principle is
that the minister of the gospel should earn his living
from his ministry. (See I Corinthians 9:9-14).
Some ministers have endured financial hardships
and deprivation in order to proclaim the gospel in
needy areas. If the tithing income insures that the
minister can live in a good house, drive a good car,
and buy sufficient clothes for his family, why should
I begrudge providing these things to a man who
would preach the gospel even if he had to work on a
secular job to do it? It is a disgrace to a church if
the pastor has to take a secular job to supply his
family’s needs when there should be sufficient
tithing income available to allow him to do God’s
work on a full-time basis. My tithing ca help to
spread the gospel.
8. To Avoid a Curse.
“Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed
me” (Malachi 3:9).
Someone has said, “You can’t outgive God, and you
can’t outsqueeze Him either.”
Some people put their money into “a big with
holes” (Haggai 1:6). They do not give God His tithe,
bit they eventually spend the money for automobile
repairs, medical bills, and a thousand other things
that they might have avoided if they had been
faithful to God in their giving.
God said that the whole nation of Israel was cursed
because they had not given God His due. God asked
Israel to dedicate the gold of Jericho to Him, but
Achan took a wedge of gold and hid it in a tent. It
became a curse to him and his whole family.
I do not want God to curse my blessings. I want to
give Him His tithe.
9. To Enjoy God’s Blessing.
“Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse… and
prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I
will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour
you out a blessing, that there shall not be room
enough to receive it ” (Malachi 3:10). (See also
Luke 6:38).
God blesses the people who pay tithes. They do not
always have the most money or the best clothes,
but they are blessed.
However, I am wary of those who promise, “If you
give God a dollar, He will give you back four.” The
expectation of a return should not be our motivation
for giving. And His richest blessings are not
necessarily monetary.
But I do want God to notice me and remember me.
He noticed that the window put money into the
treasury at the Temple. He noticed what Cornelius
was giving. He noticed what Israel was not giving.
He knows what we give and He notices when we
give.
God has asked us to prove Him and see if He will
not give us His blessings. I have trusted Him, tested
Him, and tried Him, and I have concluded that it is
better to give God what belongs to Him.
10. To Be Consistent.
“Be thou an example of the believers” (I Timothy
4:12).
For most of my ministry. I have lived on tithing
income. How could I receive tithes and not pay
tithes? I could not do so and be consistent. The
Levites, who received tithes, also paid tithes on
what they received (Nehemiah 10:38). Preachers
who receive tithes should be most faithful to pay
them.
Paying tithes will not save a person-everyone must
be born again to be saved. But paying tithes will
reap a blessing. Genuine Christian not only pay
tithes, but they willingly pay tithes.

Good day to you, I recently collected a Dell latitude d600 from a friend to do some project but thought that the battery is bad and decided to buy a brand new battery from Ikeja.
I tried charging it as the normal requirement but I noticed it only shows AC power without charging the new battery. I checked the adapter, I swapped it with another adapter but still not charging.
I also checked the dell community forum but no reply from there. Please help a brother. I really need a solution.
thanks in anticipation.

Linus!!!

Can't we just use the money for subsidy to build our refineries and also make the power sector 100%. People are buying fuel @#500/ltr to run our gens and cars.
Agreed that not everybody can afford it, but this past one-two weeks shows that we have misplaced priorities.

One chance

Is Entrepreneurship For You?
Starting your own business can be an exciting and
rewarding experience. It can offer numerous
advantages such as being your own boss, setting
your own schedule and making a living doing
something you enjoy. But, becoming a successful
entrepreneur requires thorough planning, creativity
and hard work.
Consider whether you have the following
characteristics and skills commonly associated with
successful entrepreneurs:
Comfortable with taking risks: Being your own
boss also means you’re the one making tough
decisions. Entrepreneurship involves uncertainty.
Do you avoid uncertainty in life at all costs? If yes,
then entrepreneurship may not be the best fit for
you. Do you enjoy the thrill of taking calculated
risks? Then read on.
Independent: Entrepreneurs have to make a lot of
decisions on their own. If you find you can trust
your instincts — and you’re not afraid of rejection
every now and then — you could be on your way to
being an entrepreneur.
Persuasive: You may have the greatest idea in the
world, but if you cannot persuade customers,
employees and potential lenders or partners, you
may find entrepreneurship to be challenging. If you
enjoy public speaking, engage new people with
ease and find you make compelling arguments
grounded in facts, it’s likely you’re poised to make
your idea succeed.
Able to negotiate: As a small business owner, you
will need to negotiate everything from leases to
contract terms to rates. Polished negotiation skills
will help you save money and keep your business
running smoothly.
Creative: Are you able to think of new ideas? Can
you imagine new ways to solve problems?
Entrepreneurs must be able to think creatively. If
you have insights on how to take advantage of new
opportunities, entrepreneurship may be a good fit.
Supported by others: Before you start a business,
it’s important to have a strong support system in
place. You’ll be forced to make many important
decisions, especially in the first months of opening
your business. If you do not have a support
network of people to help you, consider finding a
business mentor. A business mentor is someone
who is experienced, successful and willing to
provide advice and guidance.


Now, ask yourself these 20 questions to make sure
you’re thinking about the right key business
decisions:
1. Why am I starting a business?
2. What kind of business do I want?
3. Who is my ideal customer?
4. What products or services will my business
provide?
5. Am I prepared to spend the time and money
needed to get my business started?
6. What differentiates my business idea and the
products or services I will provide from others in
the market?
7. Where will my business be located?
8. How many employees will I need?
9. What types of suppliers do I need?
10. How much money do I need to get started?
11. Will I need to get a loan?
12. How soon will it take before my products or
services are available?
13. How long do I have until I start making a profit?
14. Who is my competition?
15. How will I price my product compared to my
competition?
16. How will I set up the legal structure of my
business?
17. What taxes do I need to pay?
18. What kind of insurance do I need?
19. How will I manage my business?
20. How will I advertise my business?

Dstv should give the Pay-per-view option, its the way to go in Nigeria. The exploitation is too much. If they introduce this, I'm very sure they would have more customers and be able to checkmate the viewing centres because we would be watching it in the comfort of our houses.
Before you can enjoy Dstv, you must subscribe at least 7k (aside money for fuel).
Government (Buhari) should sanction them because he's (the rich and the poor) also affected.
God bless Nigeria

Change is here. Baba now that you are there don't forget your manifesto oooo. I have the black and white copy here with me.

The West’s four-part strategy to deal with
radical Islam

By Fareed Zakaria

Thursday, January 22, 2015

DAVOS, Switzerland — The conversation
at Davos is often dominated by
economics, and this year it’s no different.
But the shock of the Paris terror attacks
lingers, and discussions at the World
Economic Forum here often turn to
radical Islam. I posited in my previous
column that the solution does not lie in
more American military interventions in
the Middle East. What, then, is the
answer?
The problem is deep and structural (as I
wrote a few weeks after 9/11 in
Newsweek, in an essay titled “Why They
Hate Us”). The Arab world has been ruled
for decades by repressive (mostly
secular) dictatorships that, in turn,
spawned extreme (mostly religious)
opposition movements. The more
repressive the regime, the more extreme
the opposition. Islam became the
language of opposition because it was a
language that could not be shut down or
censored. Now, the old Arab order is
crumbling, but it has led to instability
and opportunities for jihadi groups to
thrive in new badlands.
Over the past few decades, this radical
Islamist ideology has been globalized.
Initially fueled by Saudi money and Arab
dissenters, imams and intellectuals, it
has taken on a life of its own. Today it is
the default ideology of anger, discontent
and violent opposition for a small
number of alienated young Muslim men
around the world. Only Muslims, and
particularly Arabs, can cure this cancer.
That does not leave the United States
and the West helpless. Washington and
its allies can support Muslim moderates,
help their societies modernize and
integrate those that do. But that’s for the
long haul. Meanwhile, Washington and
its allies must adopt a strategy that has
four elements: intelligence,
counterterrorism, integration and
resilience (ICIR).
Intelligence is obviously the first line of
defense, but it’s also essential to the
attack. We have to know where jihadis
and potential jihadis are and what they
are planning. That means using
sophisticated technology to search
through various kinds of
communications, but it also — and
crucially — means developing good
relations with communities. Most law
enforcement professionals will argue
that the key is to develop trust with, and
ties to, local Muslim communities to
identify early on those who might pose a
threat. As the sheriff of Los Angeles
County put it in congressional testimony
in 2010, “Information that is
relationship-derived is more reliable than
information that is twice or more
removed from the original source. ”
Counterterrorism is the natural follow-
up to intelligence. When you know where
the bad guys are, capture or kill them.
It’s easier said than done, but the United
States and other Western nations have
had considerable success with this tactic
— not only in war zones like Afghanistan
and Pakistan but also in intercepting
plots on their way to cities like Paris and
London. All counterterrorism efforts
have downsides. While drone attacks
look seamless from the skies, they
inevitably produce civilian casualties.
Special forces operations are more
surgical, although they risk American (or
other Western) casualties.
In a revealing interview published in
2013 in Foreign Affairs, retired Gen.
Stanley McChrystal said about
counterterrorism, “Americans have got
to understand that. If we were to use our
technological capabilities carelessly — I
don’t think we do, but there’s always the
danger that you will — then we should
not be upset when someone responds
with their equivalent, which is a suicide
bomb in Central Park, because that’s
what they can respond with.”
Integration is something that America
does well and with which Europe
struggles. One of the chief reasons that
the United States has not had as many
problems as many predicted after 9/11 is
that its Muslim community is well
integrated and loyal, and it largely
believes in American values. Europe still
faces huge challenges in integrating
those who are new or different into
societies that have long been defined by
blood and soil.
Finally, resilience. Terrorism is an
unusual tactic. It doesn’t work if we are
not terrorized. Bouncing back and
returning to normalcy are ways of
ensuring that terrorism does not have its
desired effect. We have not always
managed to do this. In recent months,
we have massively overreacted to the
Islamic State execution videos, which
was why they were produced in the first
place.
The Paris attacks were barbaric, as were
those in Ottawa, Sydney, London, Madrid
and Fort Hood. But one way to gain
perspective might be to keep in mind the
numbers. According to the Global
Terrorism Database, in the 12 years
between Sept. 12, 2001, and the end of
2013, the number of Americans who
died on U.S. soil due to terrorism was 42.
(And six of those were from the
gruesome attack on a Sikh temple in
Wisconsin in 2012.) Meanwhile, in one
year alone, 2011, the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention reports that
32,351 Americans died because of
firearms. The number who died in traffic
accidents was 33,783. So “keep calm and
carry on” is more than a slogan to wear
on a T-shirt.

It has become something of high importance in Nigeria that building one's own house is a priority. Especially the yorubas and ibos (no tribalism) make it a duty to have a property at least at their villages.
In the western society (USA), it has been observed that not every one see it compulsory to own a property. The society don't see it a big deal to do that. Many people rent apartments and still have a happy home.
I am not saying it is a bad idea to own (even I am in support) but I see that it is not possible for everyone to own a property.
Now I put it to you as a Nigerian, is it compulsory for you to have it as a target?

Determining Whether You Really Want
to Become a U.S. Citizen
By Cheri Sicard and Steven Heller

Becoming a U.S. citizen carries important
duties and responsibilities, as well as rights,
rewards, and privileges. Before you make
the decision to pursue U.S. citizenship, you
need to be aware of what you stand to lose
and what you stand to gain and be sure
you're ready to fulfil all the obligations of a
good citizen.
Naturalization refers to the process by
which immigrants become citizens. In most
cases, if you were not born in the United
States, you must be naturalized to become
a U.S. citizen.

What you lose...
When you become a U.S. citizen, you must
give up all prior allegiances to other
countries. Although nobody will care if you
root for your birth country in a soccer
match (actually, some soccer fans may
care, but the U.S. government certainly
won't), you won't be able to defend that
country against the United States in times
of conflict or war. You must also be willing
to serve your new country, the United
States of America, when required. What
this means is that if the U.S. is at war or in
the midst of some other type of crisis, you
need to be willing to take up arms for the
U.S. or otherwise aid the military effort in
whatever capacity is needed.
Giving up your allegiances to other
countries doesn't necessarily mean you
have to give up your citizenship in other
countries. You may be able to maintain
your original citizenship(s) and hold U.S.
citizenship (having citizenship in more than
one country is known as dual citizenship).
The United States allows dual citizenship
(though it is disfavored). Some countries do
not allow dual citizenship. If you are a
citizen of such a country, you will likely give
up your citizenship upon naturalizing to
U.S. citizenship. This information may
affect your decision to apply for U.S.
citizenship. To find out if your citizenship
can be affected, check with the embassy of
each country in which you have citizenship.

What you gain......
The United States Constitution, the
country's most important document and
essentially the rulebook for how the U.S.
government runs, guarantees all people
living in the United States, whether U.S.
citizens or not, certain rights. Freedom of
religion and speech, the right to peaceable
assembly, and the right to a fair trial if
you're ever accused of a crime are all
important freedoms guaranteed to
everyone in the United States.
U.S. citizens, both born and naturalized,
however, are eligible for many additional
benefits based on their status as U.S.
citizens. These include the following:
The right to vote and, therefore, to have a
voice in government
The right to hold elected office (except
for the offices of President and Vice
President, which are reserved for natural-
born citizens)
Certain government jobs
Public education
Scholarships
Grants
The ability to petition for immediate
relatives to join you in the U.S. without
being subject to visa limits
Protection from forced removal from the
country
Certain types of public assistance

Your rights and responsibilities as a U.S.
citizen...
When you become a naturalized U.S.
citizen, you must take the Oath of
Allegiance. The Oath of Allegiance is your
promise to the government and the people
of the United States that you will
Support and defend the Constitution and
the laws of the United States against all
enemies.
Support, defend, and obey the laws of the
United States.
Swear allegiance to the United States.
Serve the United States, if required, in
times of war or national emergency. You
may be called to serve in the military or
help U.S. military efforts in some
capacity.
Give up any prior allegiances to other
countries.
In addition to the responsibilities outlined
in the Oath of Allegiance, U.S. citizens have
other important duties:
Serving on a jury: One of the most
important rights in the U.S. is the right to
a trial by a jury in most cases. Serving on
a jury when asked is an important
obligation of U.S. citizens in order to
protect the U.S. system of justice, in
which the power still rests with the
people.
Although there is a small chance you
may never be called to report for jury
duty, know that if you do receive a notice
to report, you're legally compelled to do
so. Failure to report for jury duty can
result in a fine, jail time, or both.
Voting: The United States has a
government of the people, by the people,
and for the people. The ultimate political
authority is not in the hands of the
government or of any single government
official — instead, the ultimate political
authority is in the hands of the people.
Citizens of the United States have the
right to change or abolish the
government or to amend the
Constitution. U.S. citizens exercise their
power by voting for elected
representatives.
Being tolerant of others: The U.S. is a
melting pot, a combination of many
different cultures and ethnic races.
People living here need to be tolerant of
all races, religions, and cultures.
Although you aren't legally compelled to
perform some of these duties — for
instance, no one will take you to jail if you
don't exercise your right to vote — you will
deprive yourself of the important benefits
of living in the United States if you don't
participate.

Really I don't know where to post this but since scam is getting more popular as our culture in Nigeria (sorry to say that) and people get scammed on 'per second billing', I'm obliged to bring to our notice a new format of scam I got in my mail as at yesterday. Don't let your greed rule you!!!


Dear Friend.

I got your mail through my personal search in Internet to locate a Nigeria who will assist us to make a business inquiry in Nigeria.

I am Rev. John White the project director of Belvic Industrial Co, UK based in Burkina Faso Tel: +22667057098 and We want to come to Nigeria in search of raw material named Opal but we have not been to Nigeria for the first time and we were advised that we should look for a local Representative or Agent who will assist us to make inquiry of the product before we start coming into Nigeria to avoid falling into a wrong hand, then when we placed our advert on internet, we got reply from Lome Togo that Nigeria is highly blessed with mineral resources, that there is a dealer of the raw material in Nigeria.

They said that the name of the company (Co-operative mining Nig Ltd) that deal with the product in Nigeria is called Engr Daniel Odoh  with Tel: 08112888891.We would like you to call the Engr on behalf of my company to know if they have the raw material OPAL and if the inquiry is true place order of 1,000 units for us, ascertain the price they sell in your country and try to know their location so that if the inquiry is through we can then discuss your commission and how we are going to come into Nigeria through your direction.

Pls we formally buy this product from Liberia at the rate of $1600 USD per unit try to ask them the price in dollar and don't let them know that you have Foreign interest to avoid price inflation. Try to call me when you are through.

Yours Faithfully,
Rev. JOHN WHITE (Project Director)
