NYSC Exemption Certificate excuses you from service because you met specific eligibility criteria, whereas an NYSC Exclusion Letter allows specific categories of graduates (like part-time students) who aren't eligible for the service year to legally bypass it.

Both documents are legally recognized by Nigerian employers as proof that you satisfied national service requirements.

Thank you for the explanation. God bless you.

I think are two categories of this- Exemption and Exclusion- they mean differently thing and are treated differently as such.

What is the difference please.

Where can one get the vaccines in Ogun state. Any implications after taking the vaccine ?

Alfuad:
You are totally wrong regarding Prophet Muhammad's knowledge about what will happen after death.

Perhaps what you were referring to is where he was asked about the time of the last hour (end of earth) which he said he doesn't know. You may also be referring to this hadeeth:
The Prophet (PBUH) said, "None of you will enter Paradise by his good deeds alone." They asked, "Not even you, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "Not even me, unless Allah covers me with His grace and mercy."

That's humility, because Allãh Ta'ãlã has promised him in the Qur'an of His mercy on him and his exalted place in Jannah.

Now, to your statement regarding life after death, I don't think you've read the Qur'an at all, because several verses of the Qur'an explicitly explain life after death. Likewise, there are many ahaadeeth explaining that. They are so explicit that some shoot films to represent these narrations.

In fact, Islam discusses what happens from the point of death till one ends up in paradise or hell.
You can check these verses of the Qur'an:

And the record (of everyone’s deeds) is set in place; and you will see the disbelieving criminals filled with dread because of what is in it, and they will say: Alas, woe is ours! What is this record? It leaves out nothing, be it small or great, but it is accounted! They have found all that they did confronting them (in the forms thereof particular to the Hereafter). And Your Lord wrongs no one. (Qur’an, Surah al-Kahf, 18:49).

Whereas it is said to those who keep from disobedience to God in reverence for Him and piety: What is it that your Lord sends down (on the Messenger)? They answer: That which is purely good and to our benefit (in both worlds). For those devoted to doing good in this world, aware that God is seeing them, there is good, and the abode of the Hereafter is indeed better. How excellent indeed, is the abode of the God-revering, pious! Gardens of perpetual bliss which they will enter, through which rivers flow. Therein they will have whatever they may desire. Thus does God reward the God-revering, pious – Those whose souls the angels take while they are in a pious state (free of evil, and worshipping none but God alone), saying: Peace be upon you! Enter Paradise for what you have been doing. (Qur’an, Surah al-Nahl, 16:30-32).

(They will be seated) on lined thrones (encrusted with gold and precious stones), reclining upon them, facing one another. There will go round them immortal youths, with goblets, and ewers, and a cup from a clear-flowing spring, from which no aching of the head ensues, nor intoxication of the mind; and with fruits such as they choose, and with the flesh of fowls such as they desire; and (there will be) pure maidens, most beautiful of eye, like pearls kept hidden (in their shells). A reward for all (the good) that they used to do. They will hear there neither vain talk nor accusing speech; (they will hear) only speech (wishing) peace and security after peace and security. (Qur’an, Surah al-Waqiʿah, 56:15-26).

God has promised the believers, both men and women, Gardens through which rivers flow, therein to abide, and blessed dwellings in Gardens of perpetual bliss; and greater (than those) is God’s being pleased with them. That indeed is the supreme triumph. (Qur’an, Surah al-Tawbah, 9:72).

Though they will be in sight of each other. Every disbelieving criminal will yearn to ransom himself from the punishment of that Day even by his sons, and his wife and his brother, and all his kinsfolk who sheltered him, and whoever else is on the earth, all of them, so that he might then save himself. (Qur’an, Surah al-Maʿarij, 70:11-14).

(As for) those who consume the property of the orphans unjustly, surely they only swallow fire into their stomaches and they shall enter burning fire. (Qur’an, Surah al-Nisa’, 4:10).

Whoever kills a believer intentionally, his recompense (in the Hereafter) is hell, therein to abide; and God has utterly condemned him, excluded him from His mercy, and prepared for him a tremendous punishment. (Qur’an, Surah al-Nisa, 4:93).

So then, however has done an atom’s weight of good will see it; and whoever has done an atom’s weight of evil will see it. (Qur’an, Surah al-Zilzal, 99:7-.

The Day when they will come forth (from death), with nothing of them being hidden from God. Whose is the absolute Sovereignty on that Day? It is God’s, the One, the All-Overwhelming (with absolute sway over all that exist). (Qur’an, Surah al-Mu’min, 40:16).

Can you please tell us about jihadists and Islamists terrorists. What did Allah say about them in the Qur'an. Thank you.

A teacher has just been beheaded in Oyo state but what matters to Tinubu is tax. Not even a speech from the president since the abduction of teachers and students by terrorists in Ogbomosho since last Friday.

You see why agege bread is better than most of these branded bread?
With agege bread, you can tell by its second day it's no longer fresh.

Good bread doesn't take long to go bad.

But agege bread is full of bromate and most are made in a dirty environment. The truth is that no food is safe in Nigeria except the ones you cook by yourself.

Christians are being killed in Lebanon ... villages bombed by Israel ...using US munitions...and ...they are told to leave. If Trump doesn't care about the lives of those Christians why would he care about the lives of Nigerian Christians? Trump posting this video should tell us one thing ... he's thinking if controlling that region for its resources. The one begging Trump to "do something" needs to be locked away. Are only Christians killed? ...and are the terrorists really Muslims? ..think again.

The terrorists are not Muslims. They are traditional worshippers.

This jihadists have infiltrated South western states.

I have been a nairalander for almost 15 years. I just got a job as civil servant at Tai Solarin federal university of education Ijebu ode, Ogun state transport and admin unit. The laptop will help me to carry out my day to day activities in the office as I'm a newly employed person and I don't have money to buy a laptop yet. Thank you for your consideration.

Whats your business with how much he spends for breakfast are you within the same income threshold.....several upscale restaurants are opening all over the country on a daily basis and several budget ones are also very much available.......a thousand naira can still get you a decent breakfast and 10k might not be able to get you same depending where you go.

Tell me any location in Nigeria where a thousand naira can get me a decent meal. Do you people think at all ?

This is the lie they tell Tinubu in the villa. No wonder he thinks he's doing wonders. Those aides are his real enemies.

geoworldedu:
Girl or adult? I'm not getting it anymore. Does a father have the right to beat up his adult child?

Yes he has the right to discipline his child if he or she does something wrong after several warnings. This is Africa.

Port8080:
Another story to occupy Nigerians for another week.

Politicians know how to use the media to occupy Nigerians for weeks while they loot our destiny away.

Miyetti Allah wants to contest under APC. This one wan spoil market for APC. No wonder they arrested him.

FutureFocus:
Well meaning people need to start joining politics , leadership role shouldn’t be for political compensation , Buhari 8Years of Brutal governance on masses as he enjoyed his land days in Maybach and Aso Mansion wasted just like that, Tinubu 4 years is another hell , these near grave people should go and rest, all we need is electricity and security so we can do our business not just collecting tax everywhere, on the road, electronics tax , which one is security fee? Where is the security? The man that created confusion in power distribution with Band A to E has threw the poor into total darkness
I pity Ibadan people, they should expect everything in social classification when he becomes their governor, I bet there will be band A road to Band E road in Ibadan soon , only the rich will be driving on good roads, only roads in band A areas will be done

Adebutu baba Ijebu son is from Ogun state. Don't mistake him for minister of darkness.

The North and their elites are so much in love with terrorists, so no big deal.

Something she intentionallly did for more fame.

KobolanderSegun:
As a one time hardcore atheist I know with 1,000 certainty that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Any one who claims God has no son does not even know God. If you read even the Torah it says " and the son's of God came to meet God " Angels are called Sons of God. If we are called Children of God, Then that men's God is our Father, that means men are sons of God and Women are daughters of God. # "Sons of God" in the Old Testament

The phrase **"Sons of God"** (Hebrew: *bene elohim* / *bene ha-elohim*) appears in the following Old Testament passages:

## Exact Occurrences of *bene ha-elohim* ("the sons of God"

- **Genesis 6:2** – "The sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose."
- **Genesis 6:4** – "There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them..."
- **Job 1:6** – "Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them."
- **Job 2:1** – "Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD."

## Related Phrase (without the definite article)

- **Job 38:7** – "When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy." (Hebrew: *bene elohim*)

## Textually Variant Passage

Many scholars consider the "sons of God" reading to be the original.

## Interpretive Notes

The identity of the "Sons of God" has been debated throughout Jewish and Christian history. Three primary interpretations exist:

1. **Angelic beings** – This view is supported by the usage in Job 1:6, 2:1, and 38:7, where the "sons of God" appear in God's heavenly court. Many ancient Jewish sources and early Church Fathers held this view for Genesis 6 as well.

2. **Descendants of Seth** – The godly line of Seth intermarrying with the ungodly line of Cain. This interpretation became popular among later Rabbinic writers and some Christian theologians seeking to avoid the idea of angels marrying humans.

3. **Ancient kings or rulers** – Human leaders who claimed divine status or exercised tyrannical power, a view held by some modern scholars.

Most modern scholars note that in the **Book of Job**, the context strongly suggests angelic beings, while **Genesis 6** remains more contested. The phrase consistently denotes beings with a special relationship to God, whether heavenly or (in some interpretations) exceptionally endowed humans.

> "The term 'sons of God,' in Hebrew, is *bene elohim*. It is used five times in the Old Testament (twice in Genesis 6, and once each in Job 1, Job 2, and Job 38)."

So Jesus Christ calling himself the Son Of God was nothing New, but to the spiritually blind it was a sign of Blasphemy.

Thank you for this

MrPresident1:
He made the wrong call. He should have reverted to Islam.

And later become a terrorist right ?

The topic should be attracting politicians help.

Op, that is not Mike Bamiloye picture.

Arab money on point. Enjoy your sweat bro.

Former president Buhari friend.

yinkus6750:
The level of insecurity in Nigeria is caused by Islamist terrorist, banditry and it's likes.
A critical analysis of the situation will let you know it's not a religious war. We've had bombings and killings in both Churches and Mosques.
Those killed in Borno,which has suffered the highest casualty are majorly Muslims.
It should be a major war against insurgency, not making it a religious war. The country needs all the intervention and support it can get from the international community,cos ,it seems beyond our control, as the situation keeps getting worse.

There are more Christians in Borno than any other Northern states.

yemre:
Honestly, these criminals have consistently maintained the same pattern over the years. Despite bringing shame to their country being their stick in trade.

Yes I'm from the west but we no dey condone nonsense. Let the law take it's full course.

Corrupt politicians bring more shame to Nigeria than yahoo boys.
