I applied some time in 2012 0r 2013. Ive been getting some notifications concerning it but this particular mail got my attention. More advise pls
The program has a time frame and it's usually concluded within months.
Some of the things I read in the letter are not true e.g you can take as many members as you want.The program only allows children aged less than 21yrs and they must have been registered.
Again the visa processing fee is $330 and not $1,250.

You can check out the US government website for more info: www.travel.state.gov

I think you should go to the agency's website send them a mail and await their response, that is if you applied for such lottery.

I have heard of people that travelled years after winning the lottery. Ask around and be careful because boys are not smiling.

Oga lalasticlala please help her move this to front page so she get more views from experienced people.
You can't travel years after winning the lottery.You are expected to travel within 6months.

Did you apply?It's obviously a scam.
Nigeria is ineligible to participate in the D.V. lottery for now.Some things written in your letter also indicates that it's a scam.

NEW TESTAMENT SAYS:

Luke 16:29-31
29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.
31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.

Which new order? The prophets did not speak of a new order, so who authorised it? LOL@Abraham was not a Christian. Dumb comment.

Hear this also:

Isaiah 8:20 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.

If you have interpreted any writing to contradict or do away with the law and prophets, then you better ignore it, according to scripture
Talking about being dumb,was Nigeria a country before 1960?Christianity started with Jesus Christ who came many years after Abraham.How could Abraham then be a Christian?
I thought I was conversing with someone who could reason,I didn't know stupidity was part of you.

The only thing stopping you from being an atheist isn't any freaking strong faith , neither is it because u lack sense. But because u are scared. What will God do to me if I turn my back against him? cry how I will suffer in hell if I start questioning the bible. Lmao. grin

I still don't understand this believe or faith conceptn, funny enough, I once preached about it.

Let me create a scenario I have once made

If ur child steps on a sharp knife that went through the whole length of his feet severing his arteries leading to excessive bleeding and begings to cry, what will u do?

No matter how mean u are, even if the said child doesn't trust or believe in you, without even calling ur name(daddy) u would go to the child rescue...even if ur child insist u leave him alone, the sight of blood goshing out from his leg will not make u stop helping.

Do u know what God would do? he would wait for u to call on his name, not just that, u must profess faith and believe in him. And guess what, he may and may not help(biblical daniel's friends thought so)

To be frank, who do u think is worthy of worship
You or God?
Yea,it takes understanding.No wonder the bible says,'... in all thy getting,get understanding'(Proverbs 4).Not all men have this understanding.
God is sovereign and His ways are unsearchable as the bible says.The bible also says we know in part and prophecy in part,but when that which is perfect is come,that which is in part shall be done away with.
We do not know everything now and can never know but there will come a time when all shall be made plain.
I'll worship God nevertheless.

Lol, are u really medically inclined? I doubt

For every outbreak, few species are meant to be resistant...non responsive to signs and symptoms associated to such disease condition. Such has been seen for HIV, spanish influenza, development of HbAs against malaria, SARS, Anthrax...

During the ebola saga, investigations where made as regards isolating antibodies produced by the few who showed natural immunity against the virus.

If we are to attribute the miraculous cure of your said friend to a God, what about the consultant? What did she do wrong? Why didn't she find grace in his sight? I believe u know how tedious, tasking it is to become a consultant in nigeria. Why did her creator allow her to go through the whole gory of medical education only to be killed by an EBOLA?

As regards the IVF, u make me laugh

Countless couples have been made parent by intervention of man(medical science), not all cases of infertility did he claim to have answer to...he may with time and advancement.

I wonder why a loving and merciful God in his mighty power and majesty would in the first place allow married couple go through the rigor, embarrassment, shame, financial drain associated with having a child, only to show how magnanimous he his at the tale end(when couples are old) that he still cares

I am going to die someday, may be today, tomorrow, I don't know and I don't care. People like u don't die
You can doubt if I'm medically inclined,it doesn't change my qualification.
You may not believe it but the doctor who survived didn't because of resistance,she survived because of faith and confessions in the spoken word of God.She took what is known as 'the communion' and also drank water that was prayed on and blessed.The question of why the consultant didn't survive,did she believe what the other lady believed?Did she have the same faith?The bible says not all men have faith.
If you and I find ourselves in a certain situation,we won't come out with same results because we don't believe the same thing especially things that science has not found solution to.God created everybody but a lot lies in the hands of men to change things.God doesn't change everything,else he would have created robots.
God said they that seek Me shall find Me.The couple didn't seek him initially and went through medical help until they turned to God as a last resort.He was not responsible for that.
Yes IVF has helped many couples.Sadly,it has failed many too.

Is he married?If you guys were all over each other in the past,why didn't you settle for him instead of our husband?
Why are you and your husband in the process of a divorce?Have you tried working things out?
Like you said,if he was a minister,why was he humping you?You made yourself available.

I think you need sort out your marriage issues first.

Proud one as a matter of fact. . I do not only disbelieve the idea of personal GODS i find the Abrahamic religion concept a very childish one..

So now a Hindu thinks they have the right God and yours is wrong, Is it right for a Hindu to term you atheist?
Okay,you're an atheist.That settles it.
An atheist is someone who does not believe in God.People who practice religion believe in the existence of God.That should answer your question.

By the way,I don't practice any Abrahamic religion.

Lmao you don't even know the person you were discussing with now i think you think i am the guy you were discussing with.. I believe i am well known here on my stance on personal Gods. .

So my question stems from you dubbing others who don't share your own concept of a God as atheist... Stop going round and attend to my question..

Since according to you, you have the right God and a hindu is wrong therefore to you a hindu is an atheist.

According to a hindu he has the right God and yours is wrong, are you also an atheist from the perspective of a Hindu?..

Evidently enough you have no idea what theism and atheism means...
Are you an atheist or not?Shikena!

The man should go for therapy.
It's not an easy thing to go through such an experience but such is life and one will have to overcome the trauma.
The pain of the wife should be the husband's pain.He signed up for it.

if the man can never get back with her,maybe they should dissolve the marriage so the woman can get a new life.Move to some other part of the country(or outside) and get another fresh start.Life shouldn't end because of that trauma.

That is still the point here. . You thinks yours is the right one and others are wrong so you tag others atheists.

Others also think you are wrong and theirs is the right one so they should dub you an atheist then..

If u have ever bin to the hospital you will be amaze how man over-the-years has tried to alleviate his pain and misery through consistent TRIAL AND ERROR of medical sciences

the concept of putting someone to sleep, cutting someone up with a knife for surgery ...surgery is an art I have envied man for.

Nigga, while man is still at it primitive stage of advancement, everyone can acknowledge how great he has tried despite the bullshit u claim are his shortfalls.

Let me now ask u, what astonished event as ur God done in ur very eyes?

Men of God and their wives, even the pope die in hospital
Yea,i know you're ignorant.My profession makes me spend most of my day in the hospital so I ain't ignorant.
While I acknowledge the advancements in medical science,i'm also not unaware of it's limitations.

A colleague of mine contracted Ebola virus disease during the outbreak in Nigeria.Her senior colleague who was a consultant died from the disease.Medical science could not save her due to it's limitations.She is still alive today to the glory of God.She's alive because she employed 'spiritual therapy'.God kept her alive.

This is one very good example my God has done before 'my very eyes'.I have other good examples.I can tell you of a couple who had done IVF couple of times,even abroad without success until they came for a special program in church and the wife conceived without further medical intervention.

A man once said God is dead.Today that man is dead.One day,we'll all find out Who is alive.

Apparently you think since others don't believe your own version of one true God they are atheists right..?

Ok that's nice, Muslims also think theirs is the one true God so could it be concluded that it is right for a muslim to regard as you as an atheist?

A hindu obviously thinks they have the one true God and yours is fake so i take it that you are an atheist ?
Identify yourself as an atheist if you are one or not.Stop beating about the bush.
There's only One God and He's not the God of many religions so obviously some people are in error.

Deuteronomy 21:15-17
15 If a man have two wives, one beloved, and another hated, and they have born him children, both the beloved and the hated; and if the firstborn son be hers that was hated:
16 Then it shall be, when he maketh his sons to inherit that which he hath, that he may not make the son of the beloved firstborn before the son of the hated, which is indeed the firstborn:
17 But he shall acknowledge the son of the hated for the firstborn, by giving him a double portion of all that he hath: for he is the beginning of his strength; the right of the firstborn is his.

Exodus 21:10 If he take him another wife; her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage, shall he not diminish.

David had 6 wives and many concubines, and yet, this was what God had to say about him:

1 Kings 15:4-5

4 Nevertheless for David's sake did the Lord his God give him a lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him, and to establish Jerusalem:
5 Because David did that which was right in the eyes of the Lord, and turned not aside from any thing that he commanded him all the days of his life, save only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.

The oyinbo man may have come with the bible, but he taught you his traditions. Till this day, many of you won't pick up the bible and read for yourself.
You guys just don't get it.I'll use an illustration to explain this.

A bottle of coca-cola is sometimes used to sell kerosine.The fact that the coke bottle is used for kerosine,does it mean that that was its purpose?
When God created the human being,He made one man(Adam) and gave him one woman(Eve)to be his wife.He could have given him options of two or three women at that time but He gave him one setting for him an example.When man(Adam) sinned,he lost the glory of God and started functioning in sin and the lust of the flesh.He started taking women.God knew man had fallen into sin and even though it was not His perfect plan for man,God allowed it.That was why the prophets of old had many wives and God still related with them.
Now jesus has come and restored the glory of man through His redemptive work.Man now has been restored to the original 'default setting'of one man-one wife.Christians are to have one wife.

The prophets of old were not Christians !

I hope you guys can get it now.Stop talking about Abraham,Moses,David etc in your ignorance.Jesus' coming brought a new order.

No! you don't study it nor do you understand it. It is a pity that you sinful guy now condemning the anointed and chosen men of God huh huh huh

Jesus never know the word "CHRISTIANITY" rather an INVENTION after his death.

The question is:
1- what is the religion of those men of God(Solomon, Mose, Abrahm, David etc)?

2- Did you mean they are sinners by practicing polygamy?
Jesus didn't use the word Christianity because He didn't have to.It was the people that called the early disciples Christians because they behaved like Christ.It was a description.When I say Christianity is not religion,many can't understand it.
You call me a sinful guy,I'm sure you don't know what sin is.I'm not a sinful guy,I've been saved.I'm anointed too.The glory of the latter is greater than that of the former.

The earlier prophets were jews and worshipped the God of their fathers.

The bible God is obviously a very confused God.

indecent dressing can cause a woman to be räped. why is it that the people selling sex as a profession dress indecently?

so when a normal woman dresses indecently, she's seen as a pröstitute by many of the sexually-violent males in the society and the rest is history.

take a transparent bag filled with dollar notes in a motor park and let's see if you won't be robbed. i am sure a naija police officer would rob you first before the real robbers get a chance.
Coogar,the title is,Is indecent dressing the cause?
That is where my line of argument is.If the title was,is indecent dressing a factor in rape,it will be a different line of argument.

What the OP asked is whether indecent dressing is a cause for rape and not the cause of rape. They are two different things. There is no single cause of rape, many things could cause rape; one of which can be indecent dressing. What I am saying is that dressing provocatively may just be that little thing that could trigger a potential rapist.
The title is actually,Is indecent dressing d cause of rape?

I don't disagree with your points though.

You cannot control the mind of a rapist but you can reduce the exposure you have to that mind. There was a thread sometime back whether mothers would allow male househelp bath their female daughters. The resounding answer was NO. The fact that rapists rape clothed underage children does not mean we should then expose our children naked to them. We should all take precautions that will keep us safe including where we go and when we go out and even what we wear.
I guess we all agree on the need to take precaution and exercise decorum when it comes to dressing.The question is on whether that is the cause for rape which is a no.There are people who do not in any way dress suggestively and yet get raped.
