You know the M16 ammo is smaller than the AK47, that should be a determinant of its effective lethal range, i doubt if AK is a mere 200m though, it should be in the range of 350m

probably true...i was just being conservative

alBHAGDADI:
You don't seem to understand it all.

Christ knew what he meant by saying we should forgive each other. He even said if a brother offends us 70 times 7 times in a day, we should forgive that person 490 times.

This all means that the so-called court will have no power to send to jail that man that stole money from you. It will only ask for your forgiveness or tell him to refund the money, which he might not. As long as there is no verse that says Christians should send each other to jail, then they won't be able to do such.

What if the man refuses to show up in court? This means that the christian court will hire police to arrest him, right? That means we are now operating like the World.

You need to read the scriptures wide. What did Jesus say you should do when you have an issue with a fellow believer?

Step 1. Try to reconcile one on one

Step 2. Involve the Elders of the Church (which could be what we call the Christian Court)

Step 3. If he refuses to listen, TREAT HIM LIKE AN OUTSIDER. Jesus never said believers should not take unbelievers to Court, and you won't find that anywhere in the letters of the Apostles, to the best of my knowledge. So if we are to treat the stubborn brothr as an unbeliever, then yes it is quite Christian to hav ehim hauled before the Courts by armed police officers if need be.

alBHAGDADI:
Guy, you don't get it. Is this what Jesus taught us to do it would want us to do?

If you can't find a scriptural backing for this, then it equates to abandoning God and going after self.

Of course if i were in support of having Christian courts i could give you enough scriptural backing for this.

But first of all, you need to show how it is that having a Court governed by the rules of the bible would equate to going after self. Can you point out where self is in the context? If anything, if you were going to argue along these lines i would have thought you would argue that going to the courts of law which use man-made principles is going after self. Instead you are arguing that deviating from man-made and man-governed institutions to one which would be governed by God's rules is going after self.

I am 100% sure that you want to quote the part of the scriptures where Israel asked for a king, without realizing that to establish a Christian court would be to do the exact reverse of what happened there, as Israel asked for a worldly systems, and in this case, the bill is seeking to leave a worldly system and instead implement one that is Centered around principles of the bible.

So, again, i am really curious to see how you arrived at the conclusion that self-seeking, contrary to seeking God is the problem with wanting a Christian Court.

alBHAGDADI:
Even though Islam prescribes such, Christianity doesn't prescribe a religious court. Having one is equal to dumping God and being judges over ourselves.

I said this in response to your saying that we should not have religious courts at all. I am not in support of a Christian court.

However your last line raises the question: is it not men that God uses to judge us as Christians? He has given us earthly leaders so your conclusion there is wrong and i cannot see how you arrived at that.

The formation of a Christian court simply would mean that your pastor or other respected Christian leader can give you a judgement that carries enforceable authority. And if you feel like you don't want to be judged in that way, you can opt out of appearing before the Court, appeal their judgments at the secular courts or better still, agree with your adversary before getting to court.

alBHAGDADI:
We Shoukd reject all religious courts. Why a religious court when we have secular courts?

Religious courts generally try civil cases, that is matters which concern relations between individuals in a society, thus it really comes down to the preferences of he involved individuals. To deprive people of recourse to religious courts when their religion prescribes such would be to prevent them from exercising their faith to a reasonable degree. Especially so in deeply religious African societies.

I don't see the need for a christian court since firstly, we Christians are very strongly encouraged to settle out of court (1. Jesus said agree with your adversary while you are on the way and 2. Paul said it is wrong for us to go to court when we have elders in the Church) and secondly much of the doctrines of the English legal system which we have largely adopted, are based on Christian principles.

However, to correct the OP with regards to his fear that Moslems would disregard the judgments of Christian courts, while Sharia Courts would finally proliferate in the South, what you have to understand is that religious courts in Nigeria are open only to those who accept them. That is, if you are not a Moslem no one can drag you before a Sharia Court. Unless there in a state where Sharia law is fully implemented, which i am not aware of.

Ak47 fires 600 rounds in a minute, though its the cyclic rate of power,
The combat rate of fire is:
Semi auto: 40r/min
Burst: 100r/min
Distance 300 metres

The M16
Fires at 700-950 rounds per minute
Distance 3600 metres

No doubt the M16 is a superior weapon to the AK47 but not by that much. Especially looking at the figures you posted for range these have to be wrong. I think what you have posted there is the total range for the M16 vs the AK47's effective range. In reality AK47 rounds should generally travel well into kilometers but with a much shorter effective range, close to the figure you posted (200-300m). The M16 though better is not that much better and it's max effective range will be around 500m.

confirmed from this source: http://www.military-today.com/firearms/m16_vs_ak47.htm

dopedealer:
Bros a Tavor can release 1000bullets in a minute .

Okay one thing you have to understand is that there is a big difference between theoretical rate of fire and realistic rate of fire.

The guy i quoted said the AK47 has a rate of fire of 60 rounds per minute. How i wish i could give him a dirty slap!!

The AK47 theoretically can fire 600 rounds per minute and the Tavor can fire theoretically 700-900 per minute. The difference is not that significant.

But crucially, like i said, these are theoretical figures and the real-life rate of fire depends on how fast the person firing can re-chamber their weapon because no assault rifle currently can chamber that many rounds. Realistically the highest rate of fire a human soldier will achieve should be around 200 rpm.

IRobot7:
Someone should please educate me.
What is the difference between a Bazooka and an RPG? Need comments pls, thanks.

they do the same thing in different ways. its kind of like the difference between a scooter and a motorbike.

or the difference between a laptop and a macbook.

bettercreature:
Government should also buy some sophisticated guns for our soldiers,i always feels like crying any time i see our soldiers carrying AK 47 in 2016

Those who are mentioning me seriously need orientation,I wonder why you are stilll singing AK47 like AKON when it's out of arsenal of Russia that made it

We are talking about assault Riffles that can release 2000 bullets per min not AK 47 with just 60 bullets


AK 47 is only good for Arm Robbbers not battlefield

The AK47 is a highly competent assault rifle in the hands of a well trained soldier.

With regards to your bolded, why are you spinning figures out of thin air? there is not a single assault rifle in the world that can churn out anything close to that many bullets in a minute. The only weapon i know of that can do something similar is a minigun which are usually mounted on helicopters.

First of all do you know how heavy a weapon that can chamber 2000 bullets would be?

I can't stop looking at this post and shaking my head. Assault rifle that fires 2000 rounds per minute? There is not even an assaullt rifle that can fire up to 500 rounds a minute.

GossipHeart:

The name of the snake is Black Mamba

You don't wanna come in contact with that evil

In 2009, i did an experiment with the poison extracted from it's mouth, i mixed it with human blood, the result was scary, in just 2 minutes, it froze the blood

And for the people saying that it's a king cobra, how old are you guys ?? Even a 4 year old kid can tell you how cobras look like but you guys stupidity is amazing

Cobras have flat hooded heads

There are no cobras in Nigeria

The only cobra you will find in Africa is the black-necked spitting cobra, and it's only in Mozambique

The second picture i will attach is how a cobra looks like

What does identifying a snake have to do with age now? Why lunge straight for age as your first defence? and what is the crime in bieng young anyway? I have no idea why the "i'm older than you therefore more knowledgeable than you" argument seems to acceptable on this forum.

Now with regards to your false assertions and so-called facts:

1. There are several different types of cobras found all over Africa including in Nigeria.

2. I really hope for your sake that you do not mean to insinuate that cobras always appear with flat hooded heads? wow!! so you really do not know anything an yet are the one making so much noise! for your info, cobras only display display the flared neck/hood when acting in aggression. in their normal state they have a regular looking head.

3. The picture in questions is from my superficial analysis definitely a cobra.

avail yourself of this resource (http://animals.mom.me/countries-cobras-4322.html), and avoid further embarrassing moments.

Luckylife:
And you allowed them ? as the governor what are the steps you are taking to drive them out ?

Exercise your brain by reading the write up instead of addressing unnecessary questions to literally no one!

rottenPussy:
And since when has an anonymous online personality directly be on par with the real life personality of an individual?

I suggest you read: 1 Thessalonians 4:11

Not interested in your quarrel with that guy but I just noted what you said in this post and let me point out that your online personality is definitely part of who you are, thou you may exaggerate and overplay some parts but it's still you. So if you want to be rotten then be rotten with pride.

As an aside it's quite nauseating how you degrade the female body with what you think is humour.

Bisjosh:
This is so terrible


Why is there no law concerning rape?
People act unconcerned and look the other way cos its not your daughter or sister YET!!
The issue of rape is becoming too rampant
Do u know some people dont get out of the trauma and some end up committing suicide?


Govt isnt doing anything about this....im just so pissed right now



Just shut the fuc!k up!!!



And this is funny to you because?

Who told you there is no law concerning rape??

well i see a pretty big belly there!

franchizy:
I condemn this order. This is a big blow on our judiciary. Justice Rita under the Laws of Nigeria is entitled to self recognition.

She cant be treated like an ordinary citizen. I urge NJC and NBA to sanction justice Oshodi immediately.

Nonsense

my oh my.... what do you imagine the dock to mean?

these Nigerians will not kill me oh

Ovokoo:
Dispute what she has said and stop being emotional.

if you can read well, you will see that he did that already and she replied him with fallacious logic: airforce men are composed of the same men as thee army and navy, therefore their barracks must be kept (or unkempt) in the same manner.

1. First of all, that is the fallacy of composition

2. Second of all the assumption of composition is even, itself, faulty since the airforce, navy and army are separate and have separate cultures.

Joephat:
and I told my frd to just join me make we run this political science for 4years and go home. he refused that's law or never


I want him to see this...

Guy i'm just sitting here and laughing at you!! Do you know why?

Any job you can apply for as a political science degree holder will also be open to people with other skills, including your lawyer friend. But law is closed off to intruders like you.

Wherever you go to apply for some juicy offer, you may also meet a lawyer or Dr or engineer sitting next to you, willing and capable of choking you out of a job for which you actually studied in school.

sorry bro!! joke's on you

Abee79:
I had worse offers as a young Lawyer looking for job. Still, the seniors will be telling me: ''we are doing you a favour'', or ''that was how some of us started . . . bla bla bla!''
There are quite a number of Law Firms that pay well though.
PS: Some Law Firms (especially those that do not pay well) allow the juniors to do their own 'stuff' by the side, and keep the 'Appearance Fees'
Generally, most young Lawyers in private practice are not paid well (considering the efforts they expend on the job)

At the bolded, people know how to fixate upon the negatives and forget there are surely positives. In a country like Nigeria there is so much work for lawyers to do but also there are so many lawyers so naturally the connected few get the first juicy spots and then the exceptionally bright few get the other juicy spots, then the above average regular people get the regular normal paying jobs and the mediocre masses who studied law because of the prestige in Uni roam the streets either doing charge and bail or applying for job offers like the one displayed here.

The other day someone asked me what my goal was, whether it was just to get the law degree or to get a very good result; my answer, in my head, was neither. My goal is to learn the law and graduate as a highly capable and well trained lawyer capable of holding my own with the best of the best anywhere in the world. I guarantee any law student that if your reason for studying law is law itself and not the prestige or other such, then you will stand out.

And even if you graduate and have to start with such low paying jobs, if you follow through with the same attitude you will definitely find better opportunities.

look at those ones smiling and taking selfies... I literally did a double take when i came to those pics. Had to check again if the pics were related to the story...

Unbelievable. Simply unbelievable.

ObioratheBully:


Walahi... Even my mama told me to get money first, they'll come for you..



You can do all these things, she will get attracted to you. But once you're broke... Sorry.. Ain't nothing gon happen that will keep her, miracles don't happen there..


If a rich nigga comes around and she's already impressed by these 5 gentleman steps, the nigga just needs to wave the magic paper and you get to watch all you have impressed walk out the door with him..



The best way to get fish is to get bait...

Best way to get a woman is to get money..

there's something you guys don't get... yes money will bring women around you for sure but will it bring you the type of woman you really want?

Can't remember how long the flight was because i slept for most of it but i flew New Jersey to Raleigh and they gave me nothing. As in not a single crumb of anything.

UniQuegrACE:
,actually i understand the feeling.. was just playing around......

berra

UniQuegrACE:
but why pics....cos its messi shey?

Obviosly...why are you guys doing like you can't understand the sentimental value people naturally attach to such things...you are the same ladies that would scream, faint and do all sorts of things for ordinary flavor... i can imagine how the guy feels. That was not just a picture but a picture with the greatest player of all time... it takes incredible selfishness and mean spiritedness to delete that photo just because fo a fight.

Raine80:
What's the point of these two individuals being in a relationship when they behave like children? So what happens next if she gets mad and then does something stupid again?

UniQuegrACE:
ordinary pics....nawa oo

makydebbie:
The guy should grow up
At twenty four he is behaving like this. What can that picture do?

ireneony:
The guy na O.D.E
Ode......

SMH.

Everyone has some stuff that they value that may not seem reasonable to other people. That is his prerogative. For me, a person who could go out their way to hit you right were they know you are most vulnerable just because of a temporary fight, is a person you should be very afraid of.

K for Kenya

Okay I'm just hating.. The girl has some nice braids on..

The pot is not empty tho...there is some corn in it

DoctorAlien:
It is never godly to sin. Sin is lawlessness, and it is never godly to be lawless. "There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it." 1 Cor. 10:13 As far as we continue to try our very best to obey GOD through His strength, He will not allow temptations that we cannot withstand to overtake us.

That Rahab lied to protect the spies does not mean that GOD approved of her lies. Indelibly etched in the 10 Commandments is the injunction not to bear false witness. GOD is able to save those spies without Rahab's lies. The problem is that many Christians don't believe that GOD can save them when they choose to remain holy.

The Bible and the life of Jesus should be our only guide in this upward course of ours. It is never godly to go against GOD's command. Remember Uzzah and how he died trying to help GOD.

By hiding the spies Rahab committed two sins:

1. Disobedience to legal authority
2. Lying

But the bible says:

1. that she acted by faith Hebrews 11:31
2. and that she was justified by her actions James 2:25

Finally note that what the ten commandments state is "though shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor".

the nerve of these Americans.

We, along with the rest of the civilized world, are very distressed at the rate at which black people are killed every other day in the US.

You will discover that an intelligent person will find it easy to pick up new things and may excel at multiple fields. The factor that then determines whether or not you (being intelligent) excel at any given pursuit is whether or not you have the required passion for that particular field.
