Politics / Should We Have A Preidential Poll On Nairaland? by stint(m): 10:37pm On Jan 27, 2015
I have been expecting a presidential poll but it seems i have to bring it up. The benefits are:
1. It will help us know what public stance truly is. Lets know who 1 million litterate nairalanders will suppport. Nairaland is a small nigeria. So we can have a fair idea who the elites would vote for.
2. It will increase the popularity of nairaland. I expect it to make the news if done properly.
3. It will force the ghost members to get a username
4. It will create trafic
5. I will add number five later.

Mr seun, if they bring money during or after the poll, please request for my account number o.!!

So guys what do you think. May we do our own poll? Next tommorow?

Question 1
I later discovered basket are sold in Mile 12 at N3,000 for 30 in a roll. Each trip to market i bring back several rolls.
My village basket weavers were making at N300 per 1
Question 2
Part of what i just learnt is to treat with poultry waste, rice bran/shaft, and others.
Training on soil treatment continues at YOP1
Please what is this YOP 1 about?

That is called personification and if you cannot grasp that that is your problem not mine. Yes, I believe in evolution to some degree. The brain has a limit and not so powerful as you think. Humans can only discover and design from what already existed in nature. You are overrating human beings in it inability to find solution to many things in life. Other animals are even more skillful in some areas than humans. Life is not something so complex as you are trying to make it looks. It is based on cautiousness(mostly a chemical process) and responses to different stimulus. You need to see to the composition of human being in comparison to fruit fly and how it is only a little difference that separate both. You are making a mountain out of molehill.

What forces are you talking about? You didn't explain your supernatural force which doesn't have any effect on the natural world. It is even clear there is nothing like supernatural in the first place, just that humans lack the ability to understand many things in nature. Please, stop reading wrong meanings to things you don't understand.

Oh, please! You are the person who needs to Google on evolution and the errors found in the theories not me, because you aren't making any sense with what you have said so far.
Fruit fly? Not chimpazees again? not monkeys and a lot of other animals we are similar to depending on what is being compared. There is more evidence for the existense of God than against it. Believe me, you need to do some googling. You really do not appreciate the complexity of the human brain or the world we live in.
Lets leave that aside for a minute, answer these
Do you also think the devil does not exist?
[/size]Lets now assume you are right and there is no God. When I die, i have lost nothing except a few pleasures i would have indulged in otherwise
But if I am right, and there is God, Heaven and Hell. The atheist will suffer eternity in hell.[size=12pt]

Think of it as a wager, we all place a bet. The price is our eternity. A man of logic like you should know the best bet. If you really think about this and still dont change. Then there is nothing more i can say.

God didn't made me because he doesn't exist. That is a lie you made up. All the things you listed are parts of me from nature ingenuity not from some fairy believed to reside in an unknown place within the universe or outside the universe.

I am not the image of nature my creator. It is all encompassing and has all things that exist within it as parts of it.
Nature ingenuity? You talk about nature as if its a person. Do you believe in the evolution theory. You think your brain as powerful and complex as it is was made by accident?You think the earth just happened to be rightly position from the sun to support human life. What about the sun, who created it? There is just so many things that could only have been created ,by a force who is all powerfull , there is no other explanation. Google the many holes in the theory of evolution.

thank you.

21 Does not the potter have power over the clay, from the same lump to make one vessel for honor and another for dishonor? 22 What if God, wanting to show His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath prepared for destruction, 23 and that He might make known the riches of His glory on the vessels of mercy, which He had prepared beforehand for glory, you. Romans 9:21-23.

there are vessels prepared for destruction. to show God's wrath. take note of verse 22.

you are right.

Yes sir! Emphasis on the word PREPARED!

I once thought about this very same issue too, and I realized this 1-it was God's plan to use a pharaoh. now the question became why this particular pharaoh? then I understood that many pharaoh has passed and God didn't punish anyone of them, the way he did with the pharaoh in question. simply because the pharaoh was an object for destruction, to manifest God's power. then again I realized that God must have seen something with this particular pharaoh. not to talk of what we are seeing in terms of him being stubborn. #brooding
My sister, let me answer that question for you. I have heard christains use that to ...... whatever. But after i realised this particular pharoah was just born at the wrong time, i had to think again. And guess who decides when a man is born? God. See, right from the time of abraham, we new the israelite had to spend 400 years, this pharoah was born around the time that number expired. He was the closest in birth date to the expiration date if the slavery of israelite. Like i said, who chooses your birth date or how your linege is arranged? God.

Like I said, fear God. Things like this shouldnt make you loose faith. They should make you fear God. Can the clay say to the potter why do you make me this way or that way? Fear God.

I was expecting someone to say this is all old testament and it does not apply under the new covenant.

I know what you said
You said: "Nope, on the contrary, when you step back and allow kid B to fight, you're allowing him to choose (freewill)"

I actually made two illustrations to buttress the point

Mind you, the "choice" (i.e. to fight) has already been made but you were blocking or preventing the choice (i.e. the fighting or hardening) to occur or happen
You WILL let the fight happen or harden the heart when you remove the blocking or stop the prevention

Read this. Back in the day, at boarding school, when two kids are raring to fight
usually a senior or their mates try to prevent them from having the fight
sometimes the senior or their mates relent and give in because the boys are still doing "agidi and gra-gra" that they want to fight
When the principal asks who made them fight, the answer he usually gets is, it's the senior or the mates who did
- the boys were been separated and blocked from fighting each other,
but wouldn't have any of it so the senior or their mates allowed the boys to fight
So in a way, the senior or their mates allowed made them fight, although they, the boys in actual sense were raring to fight initially/fight as well


Yes he was. Pharaoh was willing and eager to "fight".
It was the hand of God on his heart that prevented it from hardening up


Yes He did. When God removed his hand off Pharaoh's heart, it means He eventually stepped back and respected Pharaoh's free will to harden up his heart.


Yes He did. I asked Pr0ton about symbolisms and reading on Hebrews 3:15 concerning this


Yes, God allowed him to become stubborn, as he Pharaoh was keen or eager to become stubborn


OK. OK so how did God aid the hardening up


Yes.
Water, among many other representations, is also a symbol for the voice of God or word of God
Moses was made a god to Pharaoh,
but Pharaoh shut himself up and was ignoring the water, the voice of God or word of God which would soften his heart
and prevent it from hardening


It is not a trick or trip question, just simple critical thinking
What will happen, is that, the sponge will hardened up without water poured on it
What will happen, is that, Pharaoh's heart will hardened up when he shuts himself out from God's voice or the word from God
and definitely harden when God withdraws to leave Pharaoh to his antics and fate
When God did this, God in effect harden Pharaoh's heart
No more "water", so whatever "seed" is planted on Pharaoh's heart is going to fall on hard rocky ground deaf ears of a heart,
it will choke and die
With due respect sir, you are just not making sense. This analogy would have been good for other situations not this one. I dont see any correlation between two kids that would have fought without any inducement and pharaoh that needed to be haddenned for destruction.
My own conclusion is that we are Gods. And he moulds us like the potter moulds the clay, he make some to be put on fire(pots) and he makes everyone seeing this cos its very unlikely u are being hardened, i say this because those who are haddenned are usually not even aware of the possibility. You are aware. Fear God, he is in heaven doing what pleases him.

bro its about luck favour nd perception. got my current job by jst being honest in d interview . i said a lot of rubbish dat made no sense as u put it. i left der angry nd frustrated. bt dey still called me. nd pwc recruitment process last for about 4 months
Thank you sir, four months of waiting is really something. Let me concentrate on the aptitude test first and go from there. I have another interview with aiico insurance, ive done it before and passed, didnt go because of the fact that its marketing and its either commision or 40k. Now am being sent another invite from another branch of same company. I think i should do it, it will give me something to talk about at pwc interview. Its just the waka waka plus i am not sure the job suits my personality.

From personal experience, when going for an interview, you must be relaxed. You must not remember the needs the job will meet when you finally get it because that will put you under pressure.

Thanks for your advise. Another problen is an quite sensitive, always busy in my head. When am kept waiting, it somehow saps my energy, and before I know it, my mind starts running 20 miles per hour. And the more am busy in my brain, the less i am able to properly respond to my environment and interview question!!!

Wow writing this out really helps me see things in better light.

What do you think about the lack of work experience.

Its in your head........its called desperation!!!! It saps you gradually and reduces you to nothing....just let confidence back in.

You sound like a pretty learned person, and if you've been able to successfully convey your thoughts here, you shouldn't have a problem with an interview; unless, of course, fear and desperation are introduced.....find a way to work around those two things and you'll be good.

And just don't be soooo sure of passing that pwc test yet!!! Its okay to fear that one (test) smiley grin wink
Thanks, i think you are right. Its somehow desperation that puts me under pressure. Really need the job. I will learn to relax more. The job will take 4 months to get self like someone said. Ill concentrate on the test for now. Thanks.

What if u guys just go half way on the green house. Is it the sunscreen or the net or temperature control? Since open farming is also profitable. You can just throw in some functions of the green house without actually having a green house e.g you can import the uv stuff and use it to make a roof for your plants. See how that changes things.

I am fresh graduate with practically no work experience. As God will have it, I have gotten an invite to write PWC online shl test. My main problem is not the test. Am fairly confident ill pass it. Its the interviews and everything that comes next that scares me. How will i convince the interviewers to hire me with no experience. I have recently lost an entry level job at access bank cos i wasnt just making sense, even to myself, bad day. Another day, might have Aced it. Yet i know ill be really good at this job. I am on reserve right now, my savings is exhausted, if i dont get this pwc, i might have to look for a school to start teaching indices and logarithm. Even getting tfare to such work will require divine provision assuming i get employed to teach. I am writing this hoping someone can figure out how ive been fucking it up or give some good advise. Thanks in advance.
