124 dudes? My basic arithmetic makes me find her story difficult to believe.
Assuming she has spent 4 years in the school that means an average of 31 newly infected guys per year. That further means 365/31 which approximates to 1 new infection every 12 days. In just 1 school FUTY ?That's quite unrealistic.

Nigerians ! I am not encouraging casual f u c k i n but we should analyze stories properly b4 accepting.

Keep waiting, You go wait tire.

If you love your life more than Nigeria its better you resign. Your wife and children still need you alive.
If you love Nigeria more than your life its still better you resign. Nigeria is too rugged for a sickly gentleman like you.
If you love the sycophants around you more than both Nigeria and your life then ride on Yar' Adua for 2011.

The answer is GRAVITY. It is what keeps the earth orbiting the sun. It is also what keeps "everything" from falling off!

Well said.

@Poster,
If you need real answers on your topic turn to science and not religion. Your topic is not in the domain of religion.

Guys,
you see, the topic says Do you believe in angels?
For those that believe, it's just a believe. Nothing more except if you can demonstrate it to us that angels are factual. So, why crucify people that refuse to believe in your BS?
Its the 21st century and mere believes don't run the show no more. We need hard facts most of the times.

@poster
With all due respect, can you pls type God starting with capital letter 'G'.
Thank you.

As for the question:Yes i believe in angels

I guess organized religion has disappointed him so much and he is vesting his anger on god God.

@poster
Please can you tell me any man of God that you have used your method to validate and any one you have used it to invalidate?

Trying to do light dependent recordings for such purpose just can't work. Light is too slow for the purpose you have in mind. How long will it take you to get your recording machine to the recording point? If you travel at the speed of light (which is impossible for you now) you will only just be on the sun in about 8 minutes.

I am not trying to discourage you.

Brilliant post. But wait,
1.If it takes light 5,200 years to travel to point V in space. A "satellite" positioned at point V today can record things can immediately record 5,200 year old earth events quite alright but it will take another 5,200 years for it to send the signal to us us on earth. Reason. It is transmitting to us at the speed of light i.e speed of electromagnetic waves.
2. Electromagnetic waves (light inclusive travel in "straight lines". From point V it may not be possible to target the earth because other heavenly bodies will block the satellite's line-of-site.

Patiently waiting to hear the final verdict.

In addition to my points above, see the last population census? See all the data manipulations? See Ekiti-State re-run election?See how deserted those villages/Local Governments are even though the last census figures says that whole area is FILLED with people? How can you now plan on the data supplied by the census figures?

Lack of reliable data and statistics is the most relevant reason why businesses fail. Even quoted Nigerian companies deliberately give inaccurate financial statements to confuse people and you can't plan on their data. Let's analyze things further

1) High Cost of Operation ------- The cost of operation can be fairly predicted if you have reliable data

2) Lack of Appropriate planning -------- How can one plan on data that is wrong?

3) Economic reasons -------------- This is too vague

4) Political Reasons --------- I will rather re-state this as lack of political will on the part of the government to run things in a businesslike manner. As long as there are policies that over-pampers those parts of the country that are not productive, Nigeria will never leap forward economically. Let us learn from Lagos governor, Fashola.

Deepsight / zero = oneness of infinity , I love that dude.Great topics

davidylan:
Why are you "shocked"? There are 3 threads alone discussing Banom's reversion to christianity . . . NONE OF THE ATHEISTS on any of them have come out to tell us EXACTLY why this is causing them sleepless nights . . . afterall God doesnt exist no?

If today you david or noetic turns atheistic there will be probably be more than 33 threads discussing it. Your co-christian fanatics will be warning you to re-think and your new found atheist team will be rejoicing that your have found the light. Hope you get my point.

Deep Sight:
@ Jagunlabi - stop being mischeivous - should it not be obvious to you by now that i am the reincarnation of Elijah and John the baptist sent now to Nairaland? O, i forgot, a prophet is not recognised among his own people.

Thou generation of Vipers!

Mr Nelson,
Objectivity is synonymous with rationality and that is something that is scarce in any organized religion. Religion is about faith. Faith in some myths/contradictions/half truths.

That's why Abuzola will not join your team. You want him to dissmiss his own myths and adopt yours?

We are yet to have any convincing evidence of any afterlife but that is not enough reason to dismiss it. Lack of evidence does not mean that something is non-existent.

toneyb:
This assumption is question begging, and flawed for so many reasons, Why debate about what doesn't exist you say, So if someone is prancing around claiming the characters from Lord of the rings all exist and influence the world we live in, you think another shouldn't pull them aside and correct them? Most especially if they use it to hate others around them. Look at the NL religious section. Moslems suing their beliefs to castigate Christians, Christians using their beliefs to castigate moslems. Christians against atheist, atheist against Christians, Atheist against moslems and vice-versa.

I KNOW that all the gods talked about by man made religions are not true, I just want to know why people believe in such stories and go around calling others names when they have no evidence of what they are all talking about, Its not even about lack of evidence the problem is the proponents of the god hypothesis are yet to come together and agree on what this thing called god is, I assume you are a christian, Hope you know that Christians do not even agree on the basic nature of who their god is.
Why bother with any thing affiliated with religion you say? I return the question to any Christian who debates on an the moslem section or any evolutionist site on the internet. If you don't believe in evolution, or if you believe that Islam is false then why go there? I imagine your reasons will be similar to my own.

The bold part in your post is the reason why there is so much hatred in the world. Every faction thinks only he knows the truth. He makes every frantic effort to correct tell others how stupid they are without seeing the flaws in his own faith.

@abuzola,
He raped an 11 year old girl and people condemned the act. But aisha was still less than 11 when mohammad started banging her. Yet you all hail the act even today.

Summary, you are not in the right religion to criticize such.

But Banom, on a lighter mood. Now that you are a born again christian do you now have answer to the question
"Are we gonna have sex in heaven?"

Deep Sight:
So Tudor - It's safe to say that you are driven by a rejection of myth and superstition, yes?

Atheists:
That is what drives every atheist.

Many of us can't settle for myths but I don't think atheism is the solution. However, if a person becomes an atheist with a mind of searching out the truth,then so be it.

Tudór:
Let me set something straight, I slept overnight in a cemetary and stream when I was in boarding school. It was a combination of a dare and I personally wanted to experience the "supernatural".

Since I was in a mission school we had several guys and girls who during holy ghost/miracle service fessed up to be mermaids or witches (some of them while convulsing).They always claimed to be having meetings at night at the cemetary not too far from school or the stream right around the vicinity and anyone who encounters them would be dead.

Due to my skepticism (which I let every damn soul know) I was dared to go spend a night in each place. . .This I did and found nothing extra ordinary. Several years down the line I'm still alive.

My curiosity also took me to some self styled occultic group. . . I just found out they like all religions are a bunch of jokers who use fear as their main tool of enslavement. There I was also threatened with death if I leave. I did leave and beat up high priest too. I'm still kicking

I see absolutely nothing wrong in your approach. You are sincerely searching for rational answers to what people claim to know but don't know.

davidylan:
Wow congratulations mr Banom. You bet you have inspired so many here to think again about their atheistic positions. I particularly loved your initial post. At least now we know that christianity isnt devoid of critical reasoning.

Mr David "Know-It-All". That attitude reflects even in an ordinary congratulatory message that you posted. Na wa for you oooo.

And why are you congratulating him? Didn't you once post that you hate all atheists and muslims? And I hope you will apologize for that so that you can enter your promised heaven.Learn from Noetic.

Do you thing it is your hatred and personality bashing that will bring people to God?

olabowale:
@ohsisi: « #82 on: Yesterday at 11:43:54 PM » (AS) is a soffisticated man, while am not that soffisticated!

Sophisticated indeed ! Sophisticated enough to drill his way into a little girls pussie.

Well, u guys should get one thing straight. A person says there is no God and he spends a lot of time posting stuffs in the religion section of a forum.

IMO deeply,he thinks there is God. He only needs better and more rational explanation than what he was used to.

If he really thinks there is no God, then he will never bother wasting his time on anything affiliated to religion.

Heyyyyyyyyyyy brother Banom. I am just too happy. To think this is happening when activities in the religion section is at an all time low.

If you were not a serious critic as you had been, you may not have found the light so quickly.

Congratulations Banom.

@ogaga
Can't you understand that your brand of atheism makes it difficult for you to see anything real?
Get real bro.

It is nice to know that despite all our differences, many ant-huxley people still miss him.

debosky:
Not jumping to conclusions, but how do you know the other two got the job?

You presume the other 2 didn't do perfectly on the test, but again, you have no evidence.

Were there more tests scheduled for later on

Granted there might be something shady going on, but you can't say so for sure.

The white guy in charge should be the first to know if it were so.The poster said he was surprised and asked how come he has 8 names instead of 6. Can't you get it?

Outstrip:
Same shit. Different day. When the white man says something tomorrow about how unscrupulous Nigerians are, we go dey vex that a white man can come to our country and say that.

Well said sister.

willyspace:
I know someone that attended that same interview, you will be happy to know that four guys actually made it into the final stage with only one of the two 'strange' guys as part of the final four. They have done one more interview, now awaiting the results. They are not actually sure how many of them will be finally employed. I believe your time will come, stop crying over spilled milk. (later in the day, those two guys were given the first test which they missed).

Please refer to the bold part.If you can write the second test before the first test then the white man who supervised it should know before hand.So, I still classified it to be cheating.

stanbiggi:
My brother, u are even lucky that they invited you the second time. unlike us last year, we wrote a test for the position of a security coordinator, people flew from port harcourt,calabar,kano and the distant state from lagos to write the tes,infact i was the youngest that day. the test was well supervised by a white man not too tall and bare headed and assisted with a white young lady and black chicks. some of their staff wrote the exam with us and we were told that we will be contacted in 2weeks. since we dont know who will be called ,so we exchanged phone no. . as i speak no one of the people that wrote the test was called. may they finally took their staff that also wrote the exam which was not ready to associate or give anyone their no. and they were so confident too.
if they know that they not going to be fair in their recruitment process let them not be making a public advert to deceive the people and government that they are performing their social responsililty

The bold part is what Nigerian masses like.It is our way of life even though we complain about it.

Jamb exams were loosing their credibility, that was why many schools introduced Post-Jamb exams. Imagine when a student who was said to have scored 280+ in UME found it difficult to cope with normal university course work and having very low GPA at the end of the first session in school and hence being kicked out of school.

Relying on only UTME will make it difficult to admit the best students since most of the highest scoring candidates had their exams written for them by university students or gradutes or NYSC guys especially in the eastern part of the country ^{I witnessed this live !}
The big question is how will the alleged new UTME stop uni students and graduates and NYSC guys from writing Jamb exams for people?
Will there also now be recorded videos of each exam room to watch so that we can know their was no cheating at the exam centre?

My summary is that UTME is just gonna be like NEPA >>> PHCN
