Where is the trousers?
I am reading the new king James version. If you are reading a different version then it comes down to what I said earlier about possible alterations, dilution, omissions as result of translation making the original hebrew speakers relevant in getting the real meaning.

Joagbaje: Deuteronomy 22:5
The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment:for all that do so are abomination unto the Lord thy God.


There was no trouser in the bible.
There's difference between male trouser and female trouser.
We are not under the law
Trouser is not for male only
Read Daniel 3.21 trouser is mentioned

Truth does not reside with a rabbi. It resides with(in) the Word. A rabbi is not infallible. The Word is.
I have made three posts earlier on that topic, all filled with scriptures. That is enough proof, except a contrary view arises from the Word.
I never said the rabbi is infallible. I have my reason for going to the rabbi. The rabbi can interprete the bible more than you can because they read the bible in its original hebrew text that has not been diluted or changed as a result of traslation to other laguages like the english text that you read.

idnoble135: Like i said earlier. We are not under the law.
However, i am willing to still show that wearing trousers is not wrong. Those who support not wearing trousers use Deut 22:5 which states that,
"A woman must not wear men’s clothing, nor a man
wear women’shor=idnoble135]Like i said earlier. We are not under the law.
However, i am willing to still show that wearing trousers is not wrong. Those who support not wearing trousers use Deut 22:5 which states that,
"A woman must not wear men’s clothing, nor a man
wear women’s clothing, for
the LORD your God detests
anyone who does this".
The first question is what clothing is for men and which is for women? Because its the african mentality that says trouser is exclusively for men. Those in the western countries did not state such. The bible itself does not state that trouser is for men and skirts for women. You can never find it in the scripture.
As a matter of fact, those who say trouser is for men do so not because God states so but because they think so. It might interest you to know that at the time this law was given, trousers were not yet being used.
It might further interest you that even the men then used skirts. Oh yeah, they did. Check these two verses. 1 Sam 15:27, Psalm 133:2.
So thats it! The men wore skirts then because there was no trousers. And in thesame manner, wearing trouser for female is not wrong.
I know alot of us have been grown with this belief.
Infact, some of us were told that if ladies wore trousers, they will go to hell. Oh yeah? By the way, what is it exactly that takes people to hell? Is it wearing trousers or not accepting Jesus. You can not be saved and go to hell because of wearing trousers. Enough of all the so called visions. Any vision that is not in line with God's word is not of God. By the way, what of the female whites that have been wearing trousers since "God knows when"? That means they are all in hell? I laugh in french. Dont you also forget that you will wear trousers for your NYSC.
So, having proved this from the Law itself, i still maintain that we are not under the law. Just like the scripture says, "Now the Lord is that Spirit: and
where the Spirit of
the Lord is, there is
liberty". 2 Cor 3:17. We have freedom in Jesus. Wearing trousers is not a sin. The scriptures i gave in my earlier post proves so.
I used to think like you concerning trousers. Till now I cant tell a lady not to wear trousers. But I took my time to aska respected jewish rabbi and he told that trousers should not be worn by ladies and it is the reason orthodox jewish women dont wear it. Secondly, I also thought trouser was a new invention as the research I carried out traced its origin to sometime in persia when horse riding became a sport. But not long ago was just reading my bible after a very long time and something struck me in the book of Daniel 3.21 "Then these men were bound in their coats, their trousers, their turbans, and their other garments and were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace". So you can see that trouser has been there from the time of old.

My only problem is why the churches that forbid trousers do not uphold other laws as contained in the book of deuteronomy.

validplanet: its obvious that even the state of emergency will not stop the terrorist. things have to be done differently. am not sure things can continue like this in a place like israel without them finding a solution.

this their civilian jtf instead of just giving them uniforms that wld make them identifiable and easy targets, some of them can be trained as secret agents who can join the terrorists and work as spies for the nigerian army.

the terrorists can attack anywhere. pple should have guns to defend themselves.
Even the Isreali secret service can not function without informations from the ordinary citizens no matter the equipment they have. If the ordinary citizens in the affected BHaram areas do not cooperate and provide information then the Army can only try their best its not about state of emergency. In Isreal every citizen is security conscious and are loyal to their country and not their tribe as we have here. In Isreal like in most western societies even your relatives will expose you to the law enforcement agencies if you are a wanted person or commit crimes against the state. In Isreal you dont have people that will undermine the country just because the leader is not from their tribe or speak their language.

Even when you train the secrete agents, their colleagues who are supposed to fight along or protect them will be the ones to reveal to the criminals. People simply feel more loyal to their brothers, region, tribe, religion etc than they do to the country that is why our secrity effeciency can not be the same as theirs. We can only try our best.

And what is your suggestions on how he should provide the maximum security? All over the world no securty agency can function without the involvement of the citizens no matter how you equip them, not the FBI, not the metropolitan or any police.

Bliss4Lyfe: I guess this is a good time to ask GEJ who he plans to hand over to 2019. Judging by the way Soludo was sideline, not sure it will be an igbo person. Soludo was positioned to manage the Nigeria economy as President.
I agree with you Soludo is a presidential material that should have been positioned to take over from GEJ but I feel he was rubished by Anambra politics which proved to be too tough for him. Either he did not position himself well or the desperate people close to him to be of help were more interested in their own ambitions such Dora Akunyili. I do not know if it is possible for him to be refurbished again. What I have been asking the South eastherners is, Where is CHUKWUEMEKA CHIKELU? They should bring him on board and give him total support as he has all that is needed not just for that position but to get the support of other zones.

Big BamBam: Hi, I am happy with your good works.
I wrote my IELTS on 7th September, 2013. I have checked my result on their website and my scores are as follows:
Listening = 6.5
Writing = 6.0
Reading = 5.5
Speaking = 6.5
Overall Band Score = 6.0

Will CIC accept this result as Reading band score is less than 6.0. Or should I write another IELTS?

Also, how long does it take WES to post ECA report? I have received my UNOFFICIAL copy for close to 4 weeks now without seeing the ORIGINAL hard copy.

Thanks for responding.
You will need to write another IELTS before CIC will accept your application as you need to score minimum of 6.0 in each modul.

People that used WES should be able tell you how long it takes. I used ICAS and it took approximately 6 weeks after they have received all requirements.
Travel › Re: Canadian Federal Skilled Worker Program-timelines Here by Tranquill:
kelo314: Thank you for your response I will do exactly as you suggested. One more question, do you think it will not affect the outcome of my application since proof of admission stated at least one year of lawfully admitted in the checklist No:8, though in my application it was stated that my program will finish by September 2014.
What it says is proof of at least one year of being lawfully admitted in your current place of residence. So from Sept 2012 to Nov.2013 is over one year so you include ur residence permit that covers this period. Wether it is expiring soon or not will not affect your application.

Adnan[/quote]In addition to the link given by Pickabeau1 you can also check www.cic.gc.ca where you will get all the official informations concerning the process and requirements. Here you can access the application kit for the federal skilled worker programme including the document check list.

Not having experience after your highest degree will not count. What matters is that the experience you are claiming point for was gained within the last ten years.

Ijaw is tooooooooo small to hit a Nigeria, Gej dont lead ur people to a suicidal war! 2015 is not by force if! Nigerians and only Nigerians will decide okay! The Gambaris of North West and north east, the amala and ewedu mouthed yorubas that asari and Edwin Clark ve been abusing up and down will decide come 2015. If Asari and his sponsors are not clowns the would know that the 14.8m registered voters of SE and SS can never return Gej to Aso rock. Of course there is no way a child will eat oil without staining himself.
Let your own sponsors keep deceiving you. Jonathan will contest and win come 2015. I dont give a damn about Asari and his belicose vetupirations but that does not make your imbicilic contribution sensible in any way.

Any info on fed skilled visa for next year. I heard sumone say here will be expression of interest, is it confiremed?
My docs are ready, but ill be applying next year cos of he cap.

What of ladyguinvera, any update from her?
What NOC are you applying for? I remember the expression of interest thing was mentioned in the gazette publication that outlined the new requirments and rules for this FSW programme that started in May. I remember it was unveiled by Minister Kenny sometime last year and it stated that they were working towards adopting the EOI system as used in Australia to be implemented next year. If you could check through the publications on CIC site that talks about this FSW programe I'm sure you' find it.

4 Years BS. Applied Geology 2005 - 2009 (From Pakistan)

2 Years work experience as a Geoscientist (From Pakistan)

2 Years Master in Geoscience (2011 - 2013) (From Norway)

My question is can i claim 9 points for 2 years experience as a Geoscientist ?
Secondly currently i am living in Norway from last two years, do i need police certificate only from norway or also from Pakistan?




Hopefully i will get quick responce[/quote]You can claim the point for the experience since it is within the last ten years. Secondly, you need police certificate from all the places you have lived for up to 6 months since you were 18 so that means you also need from Pakistan.

Politics › Re: Archbishop Okogie To Jonathan - "Do Not Run For Presidency In 2015" by Tranquill: 12:31pm On Sep 22, 2013
For the 1st time I am going to disagree with the Archbishop. Jonathan not contesting should not be because some people who feel they own Nigeria are against his contesting. It should be his own decision to make. It is wrong to compare him with Obasanko's third term ambition. Obasanjo was to alter the constitution to achieve his ambition but Jonathan has every right under the constitution to contest. If because Atiku, Babangida, Buhari, Lamido do not want him to contest and then decide to make some parts of the country ungovernable and we now say he has failed, its unfortunate. The country belongs to us all and there are no 2nd class and 3rd class citizens. What kind of agreement should be made by a few crooks without the knowledge of majority of Nigerians? The Archbishop should rather condemn the existence of such an agreement if at all it exist because it is not good for the country today and it will not be good for the country in the future unless you want us to go back to the era where any one that wants to be something must go and pay homage to sultan of sokoto including obas and rulers of other tribes. Also, you want us to return to the era where you must have one gworo chewing mallam to back you up b4 you get contract with NNPC,NAFCON etc The same people that do not want Jonathan to contest were either sleeping or dinning with Abacha when he was hell bent on perpetuating himself in power.

solomonwis: You will be surprised that WES can actually start and conclude an evaluation without "seeing" the transcript! They can work with just a copy of the certificate!
Now, that depends on the relationship between your school and WES, it depends on the means of communication between WES and your institution.
I don't know the OP's institution but I suspect WES must have been in communication with the school via whatever medium of communication they deem fast and necessary since they acknowledge receipt of a copy of the certificate. An e-copy of the transcript might have been forwarded to WES by the school. Now, this does not mean it is the case in this scenario, the more reason why you should look up the status of your application to confirm if they actually received a copy of the transcript.
I do not beleive that WES or any other agency for that matter can carry out evaluation without seeing the official transcript. The evaluation is done based on the guidlines agreed upon with CIC. It is the individual modules taken in the course of any particular programm that they use in establishing its comparism with canadian equivalence. Also, your official transcript confirms the date of birth you are claiming in your application for credential evaluation. The 'relationship' they have established with any institution can only hasten the process but not for them to overlook a basic requirement. They can only confirm if the transcript they received is genuine or not but no agency will take the 1st step of getting the transcript. It is the the responsibility of the applicant to make such request.

FunW: Thanks everyone. I have checked the status of my document on WES site and it has changed to "document accepted".
I will suggest you follow them up closely so that you dont start hearing a different story when you think they should be sending ur report to you. Among the agencies doing this credential evaluation, WES seem to be the one people have complained about due to their poor service delivery, even though its the most widely used at least at the onset of this FSW application regime because of time. Just pray what ir status says today remains so.
Travel › Re: Canadian Federal Skilled Worker Program-timelines Here by Tranquill: 7:25pm On Sep 18, 2013
solomonwis: Since they confirmed receipt of all the documents necessary for evaluation,you don't need to send them anything. If you send any information now,it will slow down your evaluation.

You can check the status of your application to know what document has been received.
How could they have received what was never sent? That email could be in error or an indirect way of reminding you that you have business with them. I will advice that you go to your university and be sure your transcript is sent to them as required otherwise much later they will be requesting for it plus the time wasted.

I wanted to do my evaluation with WES and hand started the online application b4 I changed my mind and used ICAS instead. I was still getting emails from them for several weeks. They told me when my process will be concluded even though I never sent any doc. to them among other updates I was getting. But later they started sending me emails that they were still awaiting by documents and so on.

So it makes sense to ignore what that email is telling you when you know you have not submitted your official transcript which is a basic requirement.
