Christianity Etc › TB JOSHUA: I Said WOOLMAN Not Woman by uvalued(op): 10:17pm On Nov 10, 2016 |
Under-fire flamboyant Nigerian ‘Prophet’ T. B. Joshua,has shifted the goal posts,claiming that he was ‘misquoted’ when he predicted that ‘a woman’ would win the US elections .
According to a thread on his official Twitter account,the clergyman has insisted that people did not ‘hear’ him well when he prophesied.
One of prophet Tb Joshua’s loyal followers,who goes by the name Adedayo Ayomide on the giant social network,had a burning question and had guts to ask his ‘Papa’ concerning the prophecy that hit the brickwall and this is what Tb Joshua had to say,”You people didn’t hear me clearly,I said a woolman,the person his head looks like wool”.
From the look of things the prophet still stands by his ‘prophecy’ and is comparing Donald Trump’s hair to wool.
The controversial clergyman has added that he will ‘shed more light’ on the prophecy in his next Sunday service since people did not get him right.

Webmasters › Re: Differences Between A Webdeveloper And A Webdesigner by uvalued(m): 6:42am On Nov 09, 2016 |
APHATHEOLOGY: Almost everywhere you look someone is talking about or calling themselves either a web designer or web developer. But what does it all really mean?
Who really is a designer or developer? Can you be both?
While this can be a topic of hot debate, we help break down the terms, what they mean and how they relate to each other.
A Designer’s Job Web Designer and Web Developer
First, it is important to really think about each job on it’s own.
A web designer uses graphics and graphic design software (think Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign) to create a look for the web. This design is then married with coding to bring it to life online.
The designer may not always be the person writing the code and in some cases can work independently of the team who will take a website design live.
Much of a designer’s job is creative and uses both intuition and imagination, often characteristics of people who are considered right-brained. People in this field may continue their educations in a variety of fields but are most commonly drawn to graphic design and the arts. Designers collect work portfolios to showcase their projects for potential employers.
The best designers have a strong grasp on a variety of concepts including color and typography, spacial relationships, audience and user experience.
A Developer’s Job
While aspects of a developer’s job may resemble that of a designer, it can be quite different as well.
A web developer builds the backbone of websites, typically from the ground up, and knows languages specific to the web. HTML, Javascript, JQuery and CSS are among the tools in their kit. Developers, historically, don’t focus on making something look visually appealing but create websites with clean code and that are technically sound.
Web developers are often thought of as left-brained workers. Skills from technical ability and thinking to logic are an essential part of their repertoires. Web developers may have degrees in a variety of fields such as computer science or programming. Most employers will require a portfolio during the hiring process.
The best developers are often detail-oriented and are keen on specifics. Two Jobs, One Goal
At the end of the day, both web designers and web developers are working toward a singular goal – to create a website or app that entices and attracts users.
To do this, both the design and development must be sound. A site needs to look good and function properly. The colors and imagery need to reflect the brand and the interface needs to encourage visitors to take a desired action.
The defined lines between designers and developers are becoming more blurred as more designers are learning to code and more developers are paying close attention to design theory. (Just one of the reasons why design and development articles and tutorials are so popular.) We are all beginning to see that the future of the field includes the title web designer/developer.

Foreign Affairs › A Nairaland Opinion: Trump Or Clinton Presidency - Na America Interest by uvalued(op): 6:22am On Nov 08, 2016 |
bjnice: November 2008 all eyes was on the United States of America Elections, not bcoz it is first time election would be held or conducted in US. But the basic reason was that a black man was involved in the race to the White House. A black man whose origin as an American was not by slave trade, neither is father or grandfather an offspring of America, He shook the whole world by his audacity of hope that impossibility is nothing, also gifted in speech and oratory power.
It will bin an understatement to say Americans and non-americans were not move by this man(the son of nobody in America politics) Africans(particularly Nigerian) gave him there total support, it was on record that 3 millions Nigerians eligible to vote,voted for President Barack Obama. As it could be tag let support 'Our Son' and d first black president of the United States. At the end of the election Obama won with wide margin, a new political order was set, the White House is no longer exclusive the privileged of the white majority in US again.
We all sight a relief that an African American in d seat of power wit promote the interest of Africa's in d global world. Your guess is has good as mine we when wrong. Although President Obama visited Africa during his presidency, but it is of worth of Note, he never make a stop over to the most populous nation in Africa and the most populous black nation on earth.
It is equally important to remind us none of his visit to Africa was for the interest of Africans.But rather to further d interest of the American people. During one of his visit he made some statement which it reflects anti-Africa. Like Africa does not need a strong leaders but strong institutions.
A reminder also is needed again one the aims of President Obama visit to Kenya was to pressure the Kenya government to allow homosexuality(gay marriage) and many other visit he made to Africa none was truly meant to benefits us as Africans. We cannot forget the negative the impact NATO play in Libya and d consequences we are reaping till today. That is Wat we get from supporting our brothers who art in Washington.
My interest is not to throw aspersions on Obama regime but to give us total reflection in the way we seems to bin carry away by the politics of America to the extent that we are now attackin our own brothers and sisters who doesn't support the candidates will are rooting for.
Tomorrow Americans we #decide# between Donald Trump and Hilary Clinton. No doubt who becomes the next President of America goes a long way to shape the direction of the world for the next four years.
The question i ask myself is Wat gain we the presidency of Trump and Clinton yield to Africa's particularly Nigerian who seem to been more interested in who becomes American president without a second thought if Trump or Clinton presidency will bin beneficial to her mother land. It is time for us to wise up n look forward to develop our own land. I hv already made my choice let d will of God bin done in America elections. ok why we de take another persin panadol..okay una done hear ko.. whether trump or hillary... na america first |

honeychild: @ Plaetton: and how about the references to Jesus by Tacitus and Josephus?
"Consequently, to get rid of the report,[that the fire in Rome came was actually a direct order from Nero himself] Nero fastened the guilt and inflicted the most exquisite tortures on a class hated for their abominations, called Christians by the populace. Christus, from whom the name had its origin, suffered the extreme penalty during the reign of Tiberius at the hands of one of our procurators, Pontius Pilatus." - Tacitus, the Annals 15:44
"AND now Caesar, upon hearing the death of Festus, sent Albinus into Judea, as procurator. But the king deprived Joseph of the high priesthood, and bestowed the succession to that dignity on the son of Ananus, who was also himself called Ananus. Now the report goes that this eldest Ananus proved a most fortunate man; for he had five sons who had all performed the office of a high priest to God, and who had himself enjoyed that dignity a long time formerly, which had never happened to any other of our high priests. But this younger Ananus, who, as we have told you already, took the high priesthood, was a bold man in his temper, and very insolent; he was also of the sect of the Sadducees,[23] who are very rigid in judging offenders, above all the rest of the Jews, as we have already observed; when, therefore, Ananus was of this disposition, he thought he had now a proper opportunity [to exercise his authority]. Festus was now dead, and Albinus was but upon the road; so he assembled the sanhedrim of judges, and brought before them the brother of Jesus, who was called Christ, whose name was James, and some others, [or, some of his companions]; and when he had formed an accusation against them as breakers of the law, he delivered them to be stoned-

Onyejemechimere: Day by day people put themselves and their family members at Unnecessary risks Just by Carelessly Posting almost 70% of their life privacy , All in the name of showing of , Having Fun , Luxurious Life attitudes..etc
Not Only that its wrong, Some of your status get to fight you later in life, fake accounts are also in abundance, which is why it is vital to keep the information you share to a minimum.
Not here to stop your from your steady and careless posting habits but please refrain from sharing the following
1) HOLIDAY PLANS
A lot of peeps are guilty of this ,some even go to the extent of even telling you who and who in the family are going and who is staying, Informing the public that you are off to Ibadan for new yam festival and would be there for two weeks might also end in dire consequences. as you could be alerting robbers and bad people of the situation at hand. you could post whatever you wanna post on social media especially Facebook, but when it comes to the holiday/vacation/traveling aspect , Just refrain from sharing.
2) WINNING TICKETS
where are my betting and gambling peeps ,Them who cant do without going to Nairabet ,those streets urchins who cant sleep unless their legs greets the floor of the betting houses.. you see guys on Facebook with status like “Guess What i just grabbed 750k from bet9ja, they must surely pay, on my way to the bank with them” ,Well my question to you guys is, “How would you feel after winning your game and then get kidnapped,or on getting home your debtors are already sitting and waiting at home , its not going to end well. you can as well prevent this by not posting your winning tickets on social media better to keep this to thyself.
3) HOME ADDRESS/CURRENT LOCATION
Most people give out their home address location more than you think , its not as dangerous as posting about your holiday plans but can be used against you. lets say “you get someone angry on Facebook, and maybe forget about it but the person doesn’t , He seeks for retaliation and he seems not to be getting any, and then you post your home address on your status innocently, see you in the hospital if lucky. current location is as dangerous as getting a matchstick to the petrol station we all know what will happen when its lit , Never disclose where you are at the moment , There are a lot of Risks associated to it which you know and don’t need me to tell you about.
4) BANK DETAILS
Posting details about you Bank account on social networks has no much risks associated to it , But i would advise that you don’t post your bank details publicly on social media. There is no need for it. Anyone who wishes to send money to you should message you privately, Hackers are everywhere and just need a little detail from you and your money is a thing of the past.
5) YOUR RELATIONSHIP / RELATIONSHIP ISSUES
Almost everyone is a student of the above course , Social media has a hand in 48% of ruined relationship . Relationships that have been taking to the social networks don’t last. Social media is not a place for solving relationship issues Infact it does the opposite, and those who bring their relationship to social networks the networks looking at you like, “Welcome Chioma, so how do you want us to help you ruin your relationship” ??
6) LUXURIOUS LIVING
People who show off their wads of cash , Gold plated items, Mansions , Cars , Expensive cloths etc. on social media should reduce this character to its minimum or refrain totally from doing such. especially celebrities , we all have heard cases of people being held at gunpoint , robbed at home , etc. doing this does not tell people that you are wealthy its just going to give robbers a reason to…..
7) NUDE/EXPLICIT CONTENTS OF YOU
i don’t think any sane person as of this modern era will go on social media to post Their nudes (Naked pictures) , especially someone who wants to build a personality and be respected later in the future. Even if you think your privacy is strong remember Facebook could be hacked and all those pictures could be leaked to people you don’t want it to be showed to – Your parents and colleagues as examples. i read a short joke on twitter that said ” All this girls posting there nudes online, i hope you know explaining to your parents that your bride price is no more than a bottle of soft drink wont be hard”
8 ) FAMILY ISSUES
Still using this to elaborate more on family privacy as some of it has been said in No 1 . anything family should stay family and has nothing to do with social media. If Your Family plans to buy the university of Nigeria , Good. when you people do that everybody will then know , but posting it before its being bought has a lot of consequences and security risks. some people put their parents at risk on social media without them knowing , Some even go o the extent of dropping their parents location ,“My mum just left for work” ,This does not make you any better instead makes your mum prone to danger..know this.
9) STATEMENTS THAT WILL BE USED AGAINST YOU LATER
I can recall this guy who wrote something about first bank in his second year at school , when he finally graduated 3 years later , he went for an interview and was disqualified because of it , after it was Dug up later.
Doing the Ebola outbreak , a single status from a lady about using salt to cure the dreading ailment, killed people and left the rest seriously unconscious,she was arrested later, the rest is history. The power of social media.
You should mind what you say on social media, they could fight you later. Always speak with caution, accuse with facts and update your status with correct information.
you don’t allow anything to happen to you before you learn from it. A word is enough for the wise. And even the wise don’t need a word.

nairalanddss: If you had an argument with your wife the night before, chances are you would have forgotten it by the time your head hits the pillow. But not your wife. You might think you won the argument, but she will be getting ready to wage war. Men are rational creatures, using logic to solve all their problems, but there is no place for logic when you are dealing with an angry woman. And pretending to be invisible will only fuel her rage further. She is like a ticking bomb, waiting to blow up.Here are some tips to cool an angry wife.
ways To Cool An Angry Wife are:
1.Listen Closely:You might think you are arguing about something trivial like coming home late , but the argument might be about something entirely different. She might be fighting with you for something you did weeks, months or even years ago. And if you try to brush it off as insignificant, you will be in for trouble. So try to understand what the argument is really about and act accordingly.
2.Admit you were Wrong:Most important way to cool and impress an angry wife is to admit that you were wrong. It is irrelevant whether or not you believe you were wrong. And make sure it is not done in a condescending manner. That will just make things worse. As long as you convince her that you were wrong in your ways, and agree with her, you are safe. Until the next argument.
3.The Right Response:Sometimes women argue just for the sake of it. Make sure her anger does not ignite yours. Refrain from turning the issue into a debate or ridiculing her argument. If you leave in the middle of the argument, shut her out or pretend everything is fine, that will aggravate her anger even more. But if you buy her flowers, take her out or plan a fancy vacation, she will be like putty in your hands. The right response can leave spitting like a wildcat or her purring like a kitten.
4.No Logic:Refrain from using logic to win the argument with your angry wife. She will not buy it. And if you call attention to how illogical her arguments are, you will definitely end up sleeping on the couch. Instead of using logic, try to justify your actions by saying they were motivated by your love for her. She will cool down in no time and you will get extra brownie points.
These are the ways to cool an angry wife.

Christianity Etc › Jackie Pullinger: Private Prayer In Tongues Brought Change To Gang Members by uvalued(op): 7:09am On Nov 05, 2016 |
this is a testimony of a missionary to hong kong gand members and how she wanted more than "normal" goodies to power change lives through private prayer in tongues. be encouraged to continue in your privacy to pray in tonguee She opened a youth club. It met in a succession of shabby rooms, but the gangs, whose members were mostly teenagers, responded. She was soon deeply involved.
"When people were hurt in gang fights I took them to hospital, I visited them in prison," she recalls. "We went on picnics and barbecues and things, and they were very touched by my loving them and helping their friends—but not changed."
Despite this, she pressed on, pursuing what she calls "normal" gospel— feeding the hungry, clothing the naked and caring for other basic needs. In spite of themselves, the gangs warmed to her commitment.
"They said about me, 'Oh, she's crazy about Jesus, but apart from that she's all right,'" Pullinger says. It encouraged her, but she adds: "I wanted to see them changed because I knew that some of them would die ... before they believed in Him."
Chasing the Dragon
One day she met a Chinese Christian couple who opened up a significant means of change. "They were just simple, uneducated people, and I thought, if they met a drug addict, instead of taking him to a clinic, they'd probably pray for him. And I hadn't met anyone who'd do that." After a time of prayer with them, Pullinger started speaking in tongues, but says: "My life didn't change. ... I didn't feel good praying in tongues, so I didn't use it." It was another year before she met an American couple who she says told her: "The Scripture says if you pray in tongues you will be built up spiritually. It doesn't say you will feel built up."
So she began using the gift of tongues, and it opened a new door. "I would walk down the street, bump into a gangster—some of them I knew, some of them I didn't—and they all started to believe in Jesus, and I saw people healed. ... Because I was praying in the Holy Spirit, God was able to lead me to people He'd got ready.
"The problem is, most of us have got an agenda, and we say, 'This is what I want to do, dear Lord, please bless me.' ... But when you pray in tongues it's the opposite way round. It's, 'Dear Lord, You've got an agenda, and I'd like to play the part You want me to play in it.'"
Pullinger's book Chasing the Dragon tells how, slowly, through prayer and persistence, she won credibility with the gangs. "We've been watching you," one gang leader told her. "What we want to know is if you are concerned with us. Now you have been here for four years, and we have decided that maybe you mean what you say." http://www.charismamag.com/site-archives/146-covers/cover-story/2491-one-woman-vs-the-dragonand if you need more clarification i recommend this ebook - answers a lot of questions on speaking in tongues... https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BxrT0F-mwJf1NWdGelk3enMzZ2M |

Freegift75: GRATIFICATION NOW A CORRUPTION Civil Servants take note
04-11-2016
By Dr Saint
In a recent case involving a company, a due diligence assessment warranted evaluation of files of certain decision-making employees to ensure that the processes were being followed. It was found that one of these employees had been 'gifted' an iPad from a vendor. Subsequent reviews indicated that this vendor was able to maintain the lowest bid on most of the contracts for the company, and thereby being awarded a significant work. Investigations revealed that the employee had been leaking pricing quoted by the vendor's competitors and thereby received gift later as gratification.
This norm, a systematic form of corruption has being a common practice, a subtlety among civil servants in all government parastatals in Nigeria. The present administration under the leadership of President Buhari has however, reiterated that "Give and Accept" gifts under whichever pretence shall be construed as a bribe punishable under criminal law.
Once convicted, such offences could attract imprisonment up to seven years if the bribe-taker is a public servant. A person who gives bribes to a public servant could be charged as an abettor and attract imprisonment up to six years.
Hence, Legal experts point out that ICPC gives a wide definition of bribes, irrespective of any amount. "Any gift with intent to obtain business favours transacted, or to be transacted, should be seen as a violation of the Act," says Lalit Kumar, partner, J Sagar Associates.
The Prevention of Corruption Act, ICPC Act 2007, is the primary anti-bribery legislation in Nigeria. It criminalises acts of receiving bribes or indulging in corrupt activities by public servants while discharging their official duties.
THERE ARE THREE MAIN TYPES OF OFFENCES UNDER ICPC OFFENCES BY PUBLIC SERVANTS
a. Accepting gratification other than legal remuneration in connection with an official act
b. Accepting anything of value for inadequate or no consideration from any person connected with any transaction or official function to be undertaken by a public servant
These offences are punishable with imprisonment of up to 5 years (minimum of 6 months) and a fine
On September 29th, 2000, President Olusegun Obasanjo inaugurated an anti-graft body christened The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) to spearhead its declared war against corruption.
However, this renewed attempt by President Buhari to stern the tide of corruption in Nigeria is turned out to be another phase in the country’s perennial war against corruption.
Any civil servant caught in this criminal act will be convicted.
So, the CHANGE must begin with ME
