If you praise this government for condemning people in the media before gathering their facts and evidence, may such also be your portion. One day, you will be accused, condemned and sentenced without giving you the opportunity to defend yourself. Whatever measure you use on others, someone someday will use same on you. Amen |
This government uses lies to paint people bad before investigation. Why not find your facts before going to the media to paint them evil? How do you want us now to believe that you ever had a good motive for your actions? One day the truth will come out. For those who really want heads to roll. it may be your turn one day and they will never give you a fair hearing. |
surestsam:Are you not ashamed of this rubbish you post all the times? This your prayer may turn to hunt you when God decides to use the blackmail and falsehood used against this man against your life and run your life the way APC is running Nigeria now. Why not grow up above hatred and be sincere with your life for once? |
Mekyno:Thanks beloved. Blessings too. |
Mazimc:Congrats! my brother. May God take you higher than what PTI would have offered you. My prayer also goes to all others who were unjustly treated by the people who handled this PTI recruitment. |
Wickedness in high places. |
Mskrisx:For me too, this is very informative. |
vedaxcool:Beloved, Comparing your post with what NY Times wrote, the NY Times are not entirely wrong, but you hold your own view. Simply educative on the two sects. |
You may be trying to know the difference between Sunni and Shia Islam. Go through this publication from NYT. It is very informative. How Do Sunni and Shia Islam Differ? Sunnis and Shiites praying together on Sunday in Beirut, Lebanon, in protest of the execution of Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr. HASSAN AMMAR / ASSOCIATED PRESS By JOHN HARNEY JANUARY 3, 2016 Saudi Arabia ’s execution of the Shiite cleric Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr could escalate tensions in the Muslim world even further. In the Shiite theocracy Iran, the supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said on Sunday that Saudi Arabia, which is ruled by a Sunni monarchy, would face “divine vengeance” for the killing of the outspoken cleric, which was part of a mass execution of 47 men. Sheikh Nimr had advocated for greater political rights for Shiites in Saudi Arabia and surrounding countries. Saudi Arabia had accused him of inciting violence against the state. Here is a primer on the basic differences between Sunni and Shia Islam. What caused the split? A schism emerged after the death of the Prophet Muhammad in 632, and disputes arose over who should shepherd the new and rapidly growing faith. Some believed that a new leader should be chosen by consensus; others thought that only the prophet’s descendants should become caliph. The title passed to a trusted aide, Abu Bakr, though some thought it should have gone to Ali, the prophet’s cousin and son-in-law. Ali eventually did become caliph after Abu Bakr’s two successors were assassinated. After Ali also was assassinated, with a poison-laced sword at the mosque in Kufa, in what is now Iraq, his sons Hasan and then Hussein claimed the title. But Hussein and many of his relatives were massacred in Karbala, Iraq, in 680. His martyrdom became a central tenet to those who believed that Ali should have succeeded the prophet. (It is mourned every year during the month of Muharram.) The followers became known as Shiites, a contraction of the phrase Shiat Ali, or followers of Ali. The Sunnis, however, regard the first three caliphs before Ali as rightly guided and themselves as the true adherents to the Sunnah, or the prophet’s tradition. Sunni rulers embarked on sweeping conquests that extended the caliphate into North Africa and Europe. The last caliphate ended with the fall of the Ottoman Empire after World War I. How do their beliefs differ? The Sunni and Shiite sects of Islam encompass a wide spectrum of doctrine, opinion and schools of thought. The branches are in agreement on many aspects of Islam, but there are considerable disagreements within each. Both branches include worshipers who run the gamut from secular to fundamentalist. Shiites consider Ali and the leaders who came after him as imams. Most believe in a line of 12 imams, the last of whom, a boy, is believed to have vanished in the ninth century in Iraq after his father was murdered. Shiites known as Twelvers anticipate his return as the Mahdi, or Messiah. Because of the different paths the two sects took, Sunnis emphasize God’s power in the material world, sometimes including the public and political realm, while Shiites value in martyrdom and sacrifice. Which sect is larger, and where is each concentrated? More than 85 percent of the world’s 1.5 billion Muslims are Sunni. They live across the Arab world, as well as in countries like Turkey, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Malaysia and Indonesia. Iran, Iraq and Bahrain are largely Shiite. The Saudi royal family, which practices an austere and conservative strand of Sunni Islam known as Wahhabism, controls Islam’s holiest shrines, Mecca and Medina. Karbala, Kufa and Najaf in Iraq are revered shrines for the Shiites. Saudi Arabia and Iran, the dominant Sunni and Shiite powers in the Middle East, often take opposing sides in regional conflicts. In Yemen, Shiite rebels from the north, the Houthis, overthrew a Sunni-dominated government, leading to an invasion by a Saudi-led coalition. In Syria, which has a Sunni majority, the Alawite Shiite sect of President Bashar al-Assad , which has long dominated the government, clings to power amid a bloody civil war. And in Iraq, bitter resentments between the Shiite-led government and Sunni communities have contributed to victories by the Islamic State. mobile.nytimes.com/2016/01/04/world/middleeast/q-and-a-how-do-sunni-and-shia-islam-differ.html?smid=tw-nytimes&smtyp=cur&referer= |
SirBrightoc: |
My wife also got the offer. Happy for her. I really want her to be fully involved. Pay is not the issue here, but her contribution. |
This is a display of racism, if they where not given a fair hearing. |
nephecmi:Finally had the chat with them? What was your experience like and any followup to the interview? Just think it was a great experience for my wife, since that is her first experience of Skype interview. Learnt new things. |
Has anyone got a mail from these people. Mu wife got one for a Skype interview. |
dungas30:Boy, go and write your carryover courses in NOUN and stop online war and cursing of your elders. Life is too short to be spent in bitterness. My how you address people online. You can't tell their true identities. They may be right before you. Blessing and success in your exams, law student |
aleem50:If you were intelligent, you would have known that the fact that she is married to an Igbo man makes her Igbo. Don't let your hatred becloud your reasoning. |
Walaskii:Beloved, Make use of your education. She is married to an Igbo man makes her Igbo. Reason and stop this. |
She was given a bad name just because of the hatred for her tribe. Let them prove a case against her. Only God knows the just in Nigeria. It is a crime to be Igbo in Nigeria. |
Gbengem:Beloved, your first position is faulty as the equation 2x - 3y = 2 is also the same thing as 4x - 6y = 4 (obtained by multiplying the first equation by 2). Hence, the equation(s) has/have no unique solution. Further observe that x = 1 and y = 0 will be another solution to the equation(s), even as there are uncountably many other possible solutions including (3, 4/3), (4, 2), (5, 8/3) etc. Note that all points on the line 2x - 3y = 2 will be the set of solutions. |
chaloner:A system of equations is said to be inconsistent if the graphs can never meet and the equations contradict each other. Like in this case, 4x-6y can not be equal to 4 and at the same time equal to 5. Hence the equations have no solution. Let me refer you to some websites to study more. www.purplemath.com/modules/systlin2.htm https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_of_linear_equations If we graph the two equations in this case, we will have two parallel lines. Observe that their slopes are equal if you write the equations in the form y + mx = c. Quote me if you need additional explanation. |
chaloner:The system is inconsistent. If you multiply equation (1) by 2, you will get 4x - 6y = 4. Comparing this with equation (2), the LHS of both equations are the same while their RHS are different. Hence they are inconsistent. |
fpeter:Must be a mistake. He was born in 1956 and employed in 1960? Impossible! That means he was only 4 years old when he was employed. |
GentleNaaz:Thanks. Wishing you success. Wanted to apply for my wife, but it is late already. |
GentleNaaz:Gentlenaaz, Did you receive any invitation from them after application or you will just go there today? |
LoveMachine:You are a great man. Welcome sir. |
LoveMachine:Sorry, perhaps that is what you had in mind, but definitely not what you wrote. Go through your post again and be convinced that I am not attacking you, but the falsehood in your post. |
LoveMachine:Why will you join in promoting lies? You claim GEJ did not give a handover note, just less than 5 months from when it was all over the news that he did. Please see links below www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/183804-breaking-jonathan-formally-submits-handover-notes-to-buhari.html www.vanguardngr.com/2015/07/why-reps-asked-buhari-to-publish-jonathans-handover-note/ There is hardly a newspaper that has not this story and more. Please be honest with yourself. |
Keneking:And those troublesome elements fired it down? |
