PoliticsBiafra We Hail Thee...sounds Stupid by upros(op): 8:22am On Nov 15, 2015
Life is based on fountain and yardstick of reality. The present agitation of Biafra is a display of stupidity.Let me go by the fact and figures to backup the above statement.In 2003 presidential election in Nigeria, the true founder of Biafra, Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu contested for the Nigerian presidential poll ,He has total votes of 1297445 which it is 3.2% of total votes casted while OBJ and GMB had 24456140 and 12710022 respectively. Ojukwu was defeated with wide margin by OBJ in both southeast and south south in 2003. In 2007 presidential election, Ojukwu had a bitter experience from both southeast and south south like a deserter.Late Umaru Yar' Adua has total votes of 24638063,GMB had total votes of 6605299 while the legend founder of Biafra, late Ojukwu was only had total votes of 155947 which it is 0.44% of total casted votes in Nigeria. Both Southeast and south south voted late Umaru Yar'Adua massively at the expense of late Ojukwu.Ojukwu was defeated so unquestionable by Yar'Adua in SE and SS.The votes, affection and support given to Jonathan by the easterners in 2015 presidential election was never given to Ojukwu the Biafra founder in the two times he contested for the presidential poll. If truly Ojukwu haven't swallowed the dream of Biafra, why he contested to be the president of republic of Nigeria in 2003 and 2007? His wife Bianca after his death was made the Nigerian Ambassador to Spain. His son, Mr Emeka Ojukwu, also contested in the 2015 Federal House of Representatives election in Nigeria. These same set of Biafran agitators were the same people saying No Jonathan No Nigeria till 2019 but when Jonathan was defeated the motto is now : Biafra or i die. Today they are claiming to be the truly descendent of Ojukwu but where were those Biafran agitators when Ojukwu was lagging behind with just one hundred fifty-five, nine hundred and forty-seven votes in 2007 and defeated in his own state ? The major reason for this Biafran agitation is the defeat of Jonathan nothing else.

EducationRE: Top Ten Most Difficult Courses To Study In Nigerian Universities by upros(op): 10:23am On Jul 04, 2015
1.Pharmacy: This is one of the most dreaded
as well as most rewarding courses to study in
Nigerian universities. Having to memorize
great details and engage in clinically
oriented programmes makes pharmacy
complex. Pharmaceutical courses like
pharmacognosy and pharmaceutical
microbiology (PMB) are neither for the lover
of fun or the faint of heart.
2. Dentistry: This is a dangerous combination
of medicine and oral health in one course. It
may not be very popular among Nigerians
and may not enjoy the regard its colleague;
MBBS enjoys. But make no mistake, these
dental students pass through hell to become
professionals. If you doubt me, try Uniben.
3. Veterinary Medicine: The reasons are
similar to that of dentistry. Most people
think vet medicine is cheap simply because it
centres on animal health but I would want
you to understand that in addition to the
agricultural and entrepreneurial aspects of
the course, it has everything to do with
physiology, pathology, histology and
pharmacology
4. Medicine: One of the reasons medicine
ranks here is because its students on the
average get more pampered than the others.
In Uniben , it is nearly not possible for first
year medical students to fail their courses.
It is unheard of and nearly unthinkable. It
could be because they are great scholars; it
could also be because they are well
pampered even more than their close friends -
the dental students.
5. Engineering: All the calculus,
thermodynamics, fluid, mechanics, gruesome
engineering labs (ELA) and manual
requirements? You have to show some
respect, and love as well.
6. Optometry: This is no place for merry-
makers and unserious minds. In simple terms,
optometry will drill you mercilessly if you
should mess with them. The only way out is
to read; bribing is usually not even in
question.
7. Law: Law is another stressful course that
I must mention. those guys also drink big
text books like mad so as to be able to
defend justice any time anywhere. This is
why I love law more than the lawyers
themselves.
8. Biochemistry: A biochemist they say is
naturally ahead of U....Believe me I pity
those guys when I see them going nuts
studying those wicked pathways. This course
is particularly disasterous in FUTO, AAUA
and Uniben. A trial will convince you. U
CANT BEAT THE REACH cheesy cheesy
cheesy cheesy cheesy.
9. Physics: Most of the ones I know simply
memorize and pour out the knowledge on
exam day. Trying to understand what many
of their lecturers do not understand is
suicidal and they know it. Additionally,
physic lecturers are usually far from nice. I
wonder if they are still mourning the
electrocution of Michael Faraday.
10. Computer Science: Have you heard about
FORTRAN? Heard about PASCAL?
Programming? Even scholars get humbled in
this department. It would seem that only
skilled people excel here. The academically
brilliant merely survive.
Worthy mentions include philosophy and some
courses that have to do with too much
theories. Is the scenario the same in your
school or different? Let me hear from you.
Christianity EtcRe: Age Of Miracle by upros(op): 12:49am On Jun 07, 2015
paulGrundy:
You are greatly contradicting yourself with the quotes you are making, let's first off all start from somewhere first.

Are we in the last days?

If yes, When did the bible say Gods spirit would be poured on all flesh in Acts 2:17?

What was the bible talking about when it said Jesus is the same yesterday today and forever? Heb 13:8

In mark 16:15 which you quoted it said:

"This signs shall follow them that believe..." (Past continous tense)

NOT believ ed (perfect past tense) as you implied in the op.

Can you now deduce that present belivers can also walk in power like the apostles?
u re nt getting it. ..read again with the cool mindset.
Christianity EtcAge Of Miracle by upros(op): 2:37pm On May 28, 2015
The Age of Miracles
QUESTION: -- Most of the older members
of the church tell me that the age of
miracles has ended. But I can't find anyone
who can give me the passage of Scripture
that teaches that. Can you provide me with
the Scriptures?
ANSWER: -- In order to answer this, we
must first define "miracle" and then
determine the purpose of the miracles. Many
people are willing to call anything they
cannot explain a miracle: the birth of a
baby, a close escape from an automobile
accident, etc. But a miracle is not just an
unusual incident; it is a "supernatural"
event. An event that not only does not act in
accord with natural law, but even
contradictsthe laws of nature. Jesus healed
the sick -- completely and instantaneously
-- contrary to the laws of medicine and
nature. As He told the disciples of John,
"Go and tell John the things which ye hear
and see: the blind receive their sight, and
the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and
the deaf hear, and the dead are raised up,
and the poor have good tidings preached to
them" (Matthew 1:4,5). Miraculous powers
were also given to the apostles. Peter
healed a lame man (Acts 3:1-6), a paralytic
(Acts 9:32-35), and raised the dead (Acts
5:12-16), and Peter was miraculously
released from prison (Acts 12:1-11).
The apostle Paul writes of the "gifts of the
Holy Spirit" (I Corinthians 12:7-11): "But
to each one is given the manifestation of the
Spirit to profit withal. For to one is given
through the Spirit the word of wisdom; and
to another the word of knowledge, according
to the same Spirit: to another faith, in the
same Spirit; and to another gifts of
healings, in the one Spirit; and to another
workings of miracles; and to another
prophecy; and to another discernings of
spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues;
an to another the interpretation of tongues;
but all these worketh the one and the same
Spirit, dividing to such one severally even as
He will." Let us notice these nine gifts, and
what they were.
The nine gifts named were: "Wisdom,
Knowledge, Faith, Healing, Miracles,
Prophecy, Discerning of spirits, Tongues,
Interpretation of tongues." These were all
"gifts." That is, they were not acquired
through natural means, but given directly by
the Holy Spirit. With us, we acquire wisdom
by experience and observation, knowledge by
study, faith by hearing the Word of God
(Roman 10:17), etc. But the apostles, and
other inspired people of the early church,
had no New Testament Scriptures to turn to
for guidance, so they had to have guidance
from God in some other way. That way was
by the direct inspiration by the Holy Spirit,
those gifts from the spirit are listed above.
There are numerous examples in the Bible of
miraculous healings, miracles of various
kinds and prophecy (speaking from God).
This was all made possible by the gifts of
the Holy Spirit. The gift of prophecy
enabled one to "speak from God" -- as the
apostles did on Pentecost, they "Spoke as
the Spirit gave them utterance" (Acts 2:4).
And when the apostles went "into all the
world and preached the gospel" (Mark
16:15), "They went forth, and preached
everywhere, the Lord working with them,
and confirming the word by the signs that
followed" (Mark 16:20). That clearly shows
the purpose of thsoe miraculous gifts: to
deliver the Word of God and confirm It by
signs (miracles). This is stated also in
(Hebrews 2:4), "God also bearing witness
with them, both by signs and wonders, and
by manifold powers, and by gifts of the
Holy Spirit, according to His own Will." And
it is said of the miracles of Jesus: "Thse are
written that ye might believe that Jesus is
the Christ, the Son of God, and that,
believing, ye might have life in His
name" (John 20:31).
God tells us clearly that these "gifts of the
Holy Spirit" were to cease. In (I Corinthians
12), the apostle Paul lists those gifts
(above). Then in the next chapter, he wrote:
"Love never faileth: but whether there by
prophecies, they shall be done away;
whether there be tongues, they shall cease;
whether there be knowledge, it shall be
done away. For we know in part, and we
prophesy in part; but when that which is
perfect is come, that whcih is in part shall
be done away. When I was a child, I spoke
as a child, I felt as a child, I thought as a
child: now that I am become a man, I hae
put away childish things. For now we see in
a mirror, darkly but then face to face; now
I know in part; but then shall I know fully
even as also I was fully known" (I
Corinthians 13:8-12).
Notice that each gift was a "part". But
when "the perfect" was come, the parts
were to cease. The expression "the perfect"
is from the Greek "to telion" which literally
means: "complete, full-grown, fully
developed." So, when the revelation of
God's Word was completed, and confirmed,
then the "parts" were done away. Note that
Paul says, "For now we see in a mirror,
darkly; but then face to face; now I know in
part; but then shall I know fully even also
I was fully known" (I Corinthians 13:12).
This is explained by James, "But be ye
doers of the Word, and not hearers only,
deluding your own selves. For if any one is
a hearer of the Word and not a doer, he is
like unto a man beholding his natural face
in a mirror; for he beholdeth himself, and
goeth away, and straightway forgetteth
what manner of man he was. But he that
looketh into the perfect law, the law of
liberty, and so continueth, being not a
hearer that forgetteth but a doer that
worketh, this man shall be blessed in his
doing" (James 1:22-25).
Some contend that these "gifts of the
Spirit" were to continue until Christ comes,
and we then see Him and the Father "face
to face." But look at the passage again:
"Now we see in a mirror, darkly, but then
face to face" (I Corinthians 13:12). No one
looks into a mirror to see God, or anyone
else. We look into a mirror to see ourselves.
To shave, to put on makeup, etc., we need
to see "face to face." That is the purpose of
the mirror. And the Word of God is "the
perfect law of liberty" (James 1:25), a
spiritual mirror, into which we look to see
our spiritual condition as God reveals it in
His Word. That is what Paul says in I
Corinthians 13.
Because we have the revealed and written
Word of God, confirmed (proved) by the
miracles which the apostles did, we no
longer need those "parts" which brought it
into existence. So they have ceased, been
done away. And that includes all the
miracles -- healing, raising the dead, etc.
So, yes, the age and purpose of miracles
have ended. Because we have the completed
Word of God confirmed by these miracles and
therefore there is no more need for such
miracles.

Romans 6:14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
Romans 6:15 What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.
Galatians 5:18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
Hebrews 10:1 For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.
