emmasege: Catholics are the crack on the wall of Christianity in Nigeria. Sultan and these northern cult always find it convenient getting along with them in lieu of CAN leadership which has been occupied by protestant and evangelical Christians in recent times.
It's like the enemy of my enemy being my friend. Catholic bishops are too arrogant to submit to CAN leadership and the Sultanate cannot stand the bluntness of CAN leadership when it comes to calling a spade a spade.
U can tell the difference when pst. Ayo Oritsejafor was there and now. Yet same Xtians fought hin.
TonyeBarcanista: My own is to write, understanding my point is your responsibility, and I shall not be held responsible if you don't.
Oyedepo spoke carnally, his words are apostasy, and Paul said if anyone, even amongst the apostles come to preach another doctrine he should be cast out.
You're quoting scriptures out of context..... . Maybe you should tell us what you would do to address the crisis in Kaduna. If fir instance Israel had not stood up to fight, would there be any land called Israel ?
TonyeBarcanista: I'm sure you can read, and I'm also sure you saw in the original post on my position on attacks.
However, Oyedepo spoke carnally and irresponsibly! You can either be a Christian by yielding to Christ doctrine OR you choose to do it your own way but leave out Christianity. Apostasy should never be welcomed.
I'm not against people protecting themselves but I am against just killing of people just by appearance. However, if we are to be Christians, there are commandments and precepts we must stick to.
But that said, I urge Oyedepo to lead the way along with his kids and fanboys/girls and let's see if they have balls
So protecting yourself is not unchristianlike ? . I thought you wanted the Christians to fold their hands and be killed. I don't know of any moslem who have condemned this killing. You just have to see this from Oyedepos point of view. He's the only MOG that's vocal against this evil.
saintmark88: Pentecostals or what ever they call themselves are d problem we have in this country.... First how did they ascertain that the people killed n southern kaduna are all christains ??, is there a list of those killed to ascertain that the people killed are southerns??
Y do we always give everything a religious undertone??, remember it was d same with d Boko Haram tin, it took a while for us to understand that the Boko Haram tin wasn't just a christain affair.
These pastors r fueling the issue, how can u incite more violence, how can u put it in d mind of people that it's a religious war??........Tonye u r very right, taking up arms would aggreviate the issue, it is not a solution.
These people saying rubbish here r only saying so because the Oyedepo man to them can never b wrong to them, have u forgotten these men r worshiped in Nigeria, pple Dnt worship God again, they worship these men.
May be if you hear an eye witness account you would know better. FYI no Moslem was killed during the attack. And when someone was being killed, the killers shout allah akbar. What does it look like to you ? Do you also know that Southern Kaduna is populated by mostly Christians ?
morereb10: ooh, chai, i have really lost a great friend. With this foolish and unguarded statement you made Tonye, you are indeed a bigot nonetheless.
So upon all the killings going on in this country, all you can come out and admonish Christians to do is to turn the other chick if they r hit? Who are you to say Oyedepo should be called to order?
That Bible you are quoting, you don't actually know it. Because God is a consuming fire and he consumes any person that declares himself his enemy. How many fights did Moses fought before getting to promise land? I bet he would have remained like a lamb so that his enemies will over run him. As far as their is God, their has been great killings on his behalf. quote me anywhere.
And as far as killings go, I keep telling people .. hhhmmmm. hmmmm.. that Islam is not more heartless than Christians. If you are a good historian, go and read history very well. Islam no reach anywhere. I keep telling people, if Christians start.. eh, especially the Catholics, the world will come to stand still.
Go and read history and read about the great persecution and read about the wiping away of women and read about the killings that gave birth to what we call the Bible today which was brought together in 'the council of nessie'.
Read about how Christianity was even created, you will know that Islam is playing with fire.
You come here come dey talk nonsense because your morals told you to be like Christ, you will be a lamb.
nonsense
That's even far. They have 4gotten what happened in Yugoslavia. Christians have moe population.
DrayZee: No just a point. THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT IN ALL RAMAFICATIONS. The only problem is that the victim has a legion of hateful fans ready to destroy the Infinix brand just for telling the truth. I mean, even Pele and Maradona ( who have been known to be with Messi in the past) have attested to the fact that What Ronaldo achieved in 2016 has not been achieved by any other player. When have you seen a player win Champions league, Euro and Club World Cup in a single year. Not to talk of Ballon D'or, the TOTY award, Golden boot and other numerous awards Ronaldo has won. He is also the first football player to become Male Sportsperson of the Year. Come on people!
Messi has made records too. These two guys are talented and hardworking. Who says Mesdi isn't hardworking ? Or should we start listing his achievements ?
Wetin person go do nau . You don't know where luck will come. I know of someone who got Shell job without connection. Secondly, one needs to start networking.
Nathan2016: You guys are wonderful... One thing i like about guys who enter nairaland.... Keep the spirit up and you will soon realized that nobdy owe you shit... Am a graduate but since i stoped depending on job this job that... Promises and all that.. I make a comfortable earnings now that is building a house.....
You just have to believe that yes... Sombody cares about you but nobody owes you sh it....
That's cool. What sort of business. I'm interested too...
jswagg4: Hello all. I finished serving in April last year. Been teaching, but I'm looking and hoping for something better. I have excellent writing and verbal communication skills. Studied Geology, finished with a second class upper. I'm 25years. I have radio experience. So anyone who can help me, plsssss do.
You have a good prospect. Appply bellow: *SHELL GRADUATE INTERNSHIP PROGRAM 2016/2017 For all Engineering/Geoscience/Geology graduate done with NYSC, 28 years and below. Send your CV to NCD-events@shell.com. Kindly pass info to others. Someone may need it. Thank you.
Do you know anyone who studied geology or geophysics and is need of employment? Please send CVs to yommy17@yahoo.com.
Oocc: You graduated 15, 10, years ago and still no job yet. You talk to people around about it, to get help but you are mocked behind you and they talk about you and say all sorts of things.
You walk almost all the roads and streets in Lagos in search of job, still no job. Any company you go to, they tell u to apply online whenever they have vacancies.
You stay at home to search for jobs online and neighbours gossip you and say he stays at home doing nothing, instead of him to go out and hustle like his mates. They term you a lazy man.
You come on nairaland to talk about your joblessness and how you have suffered, and you see people advising and some even opting to help, but at the end, you discover it was all but a show. No one wants to help.....Nobody wants to help, even if they can. I even doubt if any man helps any man these days. Mostly they prefer to help women! I've had about 4 different Nairalanders that have opted to help, but they just stop replying when you send them the mail or CV they requested.
You lay on your bed every night, thinking, sometimes praying and crying.. ..soaking your pillows with tears, but it just seem like God is just far away.
The truth is.. ...nobody cares! Nobody gives a damn about you. If you like kill yourself inside your room......nobody cares! You don't have a job for 20 years, nobody cares! You discover that the more you tell people your problems the more they mock you and use you as a topic of discussion, and the more you get frustrated. Nobody helps anybody again in Nigeria.
This is to me and all those nairalanders like me, coming to seek for help......coming to seek for job.....Stop begging for job, stop hoping that someone will help you here. Drop that your certificate, in fact go and hide it(i just did that today) Go out there, carry concrete-in-pans on your head and climb a 3- storey building, wash toilets, carry loads for people, work as labourer on site, carry packages from container to store, carry cement, do all sorts of dirty jobs and make money.. ....no matter how small. At least you won't beg anyone, or hope on anyone. Just do anything to survive, cos no one will help you except you.
#bowing out
I thank God for his mercies upon my life. To be jobless is very depressing. In fact people who promised to help became quiet over it. Some would see you and even stop greeting you. They will stop picking your calls. Cleaning toilets, carrying loads and all sorts was out of it. God had mercy on me that I did not lift a cement on my head. I contemplated doing it but something kept holding me back. I use to ask myself, "if I have to carry cement or wash toilets, for how long can I continue this way?" My future looked bleak. One day, things just turned around. A friend I had not seen in the last 5 years called me out of the blues and asked me for my CV. A week later I was called for an interview. Today, it's history. I got the job . Did I also tell you that I was attending an interview for a teaching job when I received that call ?
biotechshola: hypocrisy! So just all of a sudden, you forget that gej did not step into borno state not until 2015 for election campaign? or you ve also forgotten that your hero never visited buni yadi where students were slaughtered in cold blood? perhaps you were not in Nigeria when Jonathan was dancing just days after chibok girls were kidnapped?
The bottom line is, of what importance is it for a president to visit a troubled zone? to avenge their death or arrest the culprits?
I think your hatred has blocked your sense of reasoning and I think it's getting worse.
GEJ was criticized for his actions, then. So why shouldn't Buhari swallow the same pill ?
LifeofAirforce1: Selling moi moi by a graduate now a big deal
what's so special in been a graduate if i may ask?
The reason why Nigeria is so fuckedup s because we've placed so much emphasis on education
mumu country.
Bill gate, mark zuckerberg of this world didn't see the four walls of university but look where they are today.
Only in Nigeria our so called graduates who can't even spell out their own name correctly get juicy jobs while the ones with brain are left with no choice than go abroad to look for greener pasture.
Nooooo..... Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates went to university but they never completed their education.
GreatSE: One thing with Yoruba is that Their Tribalism reach CHURCH..... you will never see other tribe being a member of governing body...... All the assistant GO will also be Yorubas, In portharcourt if a SS OR SE pastor suffer and built a very big or beautiful RCCG parish he will be transferred to a local or smaller Parish and a Yoruba man sent to that church from no where. That happened to my elder brother and so may I know
Your brother's consolation should be that he's working for God. Politics is in the church too. But on the other hand, I know a Yoruba pastor who used to be in RCCG. His ministers are from various tribes: Yoruba, Igbos, Deltans, Benue, etc. I give him kudos for that.
Does it mean God is with the yorubas more than any other tribe?
What baffles me most is the level of tribalism displayed by this particular even inside church. In redeem for instance, 95% of their main pastors are from this same tribe.
I was at winners chapel some years back and i sat close to a woman from south west mumbling to herself that ''they started this church first before it became popular''. It could be she was not given a post in that church.
Why are the southwesterners tribalistic in place of work? Once they head a particular branch they will pack their brothers, as long as you can speak ''wa, ekaaro, mo fe jeun''. Abandoning others to do the dirty jobs.
And they claimed to pray yet commit all manners of atrocities before God.
For instance, before a yoruba man will marry a woman he would have given her ''belle'' before the wedding. If not no wedding. And the wedding is a church wedding for that matter. Descrating the name of God and also ''defiling the marriage bed according to the Bible:
hmmmm......na wa oooo
mind you am not igbo neither am i from south east or south south.
Be warned.
.
Are you sure if what you're saying ? That woman grumbling, where is she frim ?
Thepasserby: Nigerian ladies are just too much and their creativity level is so good. It is quite impossible to have a conversation with a Nigerian lady without hearing these words and phrases.
These words have ruined marriages, ended relationships and have even sent some to the hospital.
Here are 4 words Nigerian ladies are likely to use during a conversation.
1. Like seriously? Why do they even ask this question and does it even have an answer? Well I guess maybe they use it as a warning sign or when they are interested in the conversation.
2. Whatever When you hear this word, I will suggest you pocket the remaining words and end the conversation. Whenever this word is uttered, trouble is not far away.
3. Really? I can't even categorise this one. Perhaps you can help me out here.
4. Dorrh No one knows the meaning of this word. I guess that's the power of Nigerian creativity.
Gid bless you for this post. I was even thinking of creating a thread on most commonly used cliché. You beat ne to it. I hate hearing such words. It annoys me. Abd the most annoying part is when you hear some radio talj show hosts say such. There's also one more, "as in". "It's a lie" is fading out.
lacasera14: yea you are probably a blend. 80% introvert and 20% extrovert. You can do them too but I doubt if you'll succeed in it
I don't agree with you on no. 5. There are different tyoes of businesses. So saying introverts aren't good in business means they can hardly be successful . At a point in life, many people will become business owners.
DozieInc: Such things usually comes with "mixed" feeling, got a taste when my younger brother got admission before I did, you just realise that life is not first come first serve, in the end you are happy for them.
Truth !! Then again, one needs to close ears to what people say like: "see you younger brother. He's working and you are not. Or " your sister is more ambitious than you are. She has a family, when will you have yours?" You just have to congratulate your younger ones and wait for your time.
tiwiex: I know Arik can be a mess but d economy is all encompassing. So many things are not working and it affects all businesses. Ariks mess was just doubled.
The days I use Arik, they never disappointed. There was an instance I had a flight for 6:00 pm and they took of around 5:30 pm. I didn't muss the flight, though. Ever since then, I've never used them. As for what's happening today, they have to buckle up. You can't blame the government for everything. Afterall, other airlines are operating in the same environment and they are not that bad. Arik air is too expensive for things like this.
chie8: 1. On Wednesday, 4 January, 2017, our Lagos-New York JFK service which was to operate at 11:30 pm had to be rescheduled by 24 hours to operate at 11:30 pm on Thursday, 5 January, 2017 due to the shortage in supply of aviation fuel by the major fuel marketers. Our Lagos-Johannesburg service and Lagos- Accra service were also on ground awaiting fuel while the Lagos-New York service was standing by for fuel. Aviation fuel supply has been epileptic in the country over the past weeks where availability of stock and terms of service are not guaranteed on a consistent basis by the marketers.
Arik Air pursued all possible options to source fuel for the international flights on 4 January, 2017 but when our Customer Service Manager at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos approached the passengers to explain the situation to them, one of the passengers chased and attacked him. This was followed by a mob of passengers who brutally beat, kicked and chased the Arik Air staff throughout the terminal building leading to the Immigration Section of the terminal. The staff was later rushed to the hospital where he was treated for injuries sustained during this reckless and inhuman attack. Arik Air managed to source a small quantity of fuel and despite eventually sorting out the departure of the Johannesburg service, some of the passengers from the affected services damaged the check-in counters, check-in systems and equipment, preventing the airline from being able to service or checking-in passengers on 5 January, 2017. Again on 5 January, 2017 some of the passengers continued to disrupt the airline’s check-in process by preventing Arik Air staff from performing their duties by sleeping on the conveyor belts, sleeping or sitting on the floor in the check-in area and forcibly occupying the airline’s ticketing and administrative offices, resulting in the cancellation of some of the international flights, including the Lagos-London Heathrow-Lagos service.
2. Arik Air strongly condemns the incessant and increasing number of attacks on our staff and property in the recent months. As a flag carrier for Nigeria, the airline expresses it disappointment and dismay that the Aviation Security department (AVSEC) of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) and all the other security agencies in the country cannot ensure or guarantee the safety of our personnel when on duty across the various airports in the country. This serious breach of security and lawlessness by some of the passengers to assault and cause bodily harm to the airline’s personnel cannot and will not continue to be tolerated. Passengers continue to take the laws into their hands and the severity and frequencies of such criminal acts are on the rise due to lack of appropriate action or preventative measures from the security agencies. The resort to verbal or physical violence in any form by a passenger is not acceptable to Arik Air and the airline would henceforth deploy all measures necessary against any passenger who takes the law into their hands. Arik Air will also pursue legal action and engage local and foreign security agencies including private security firms to investigate, identify and prosecute to the full extent of the law all of those passengers in Nigeria and overseas, involved in the attacks against our personnel and property. The airline also intends to formally address the regulators, security agencies and aviation authorities both in Nigeria and overseas to get an immediate resolution to this matter.
3. Security at our airports ought to be improved to guide against unwarranted and uncalled for assaults on airline personnel and passengers. Despite repeated appeals and calls for intervention on numerable occasions, the airport authorities and security agencies have done nothing to protect the lives of staff and property of Arik Air in the wake of these attacks. The same authorities are however spontaneous in sanctioning the airlines whenever there is a service disruption without providing adequate support or security to prevent passengers from disrupting the service in the first instance.
Arik Air once again makes a final appeal to all the security agencies (AVSEC-FAAN/Nigerian Armed Forces/Directorate of Security Services/Nigerian Police Force) in the country to intervene immediately and protect the airline personnel and property from unwarranted attacks by passengers. Arik Air also appeals to its passengers to be civil and refrain from such disruptive and unlawful actions that risk the life of airline staff and that of fellow passengers. Arik Air is fully committed to the safety and security of its passengers, staff and assets and will do all possible within its means to pursue and prosecute to the full extent of the law, all perpetrators of such criminal acts against the airline.

MsDelilah: And people wonder why I love Mercedes-Benz. What's NOT to love?!?!
They are the pioneers of most features that other automobiles are now adopting: self-closing doors (doors shut if they aren't closed properly), heated massaging seats, wipers are activated automatically once there's any sign of rain, etc. (I stand to be corrected).
Every single 3 M-100 6.9 and 6.3V8 Mercedes engine was hand-built and tested on an engine dyno for just over four hours, 40 minutes of which were at full throttle.
The W140 S Class featured double glazed windows and a heater that could deliver hot air, even when the engine was off!
Mercedes-Benz manufactured car won't ever rattle nor squeak regardless of age. The reason being Mercedes cars are welded in 10000 places which don't allow any space for the loosening of bolts and nuts.
Their engines are also something to marvel at. Their engines include overhead camshafts that deliver smooth, silent, safe driving even at high speeds. The engines are put through rigorous testing by the engineers and they are hand signed by them before put into an automobile to guarantee the quality of the engine. Even their steering system includes a built-in shock absorber to provide the passengers with a far more comfortable ride.
The coat of paint on a Mercedes car is smooth and glossy as a result of amount of effort placed into it. There are actually four coats of paint sprayed on the car before being hand polished. The last coat of paint is salt resistant and is also done manually for that smooth, glossy touch you see on all Mercedes-Benz cars. Even the tires used are of superior quality and it is capable of carrying an entire load of passengers smoothly even during high speeds.
All Mercedes models include fully synchronized manual and automatic transmissions as standard features. Higher series models however only incorporate automatic transmission.
heybel: I was offered to new teaching job today, one is secondary school and d other one is primary school wit dsame salary...but d owner of d secondary said i must spend a term witout quiting i.e if i secure a beta offer within dat term,i cant go for it,bcus they hve to tell d part teacher taking dem bfor to stop cuming...but d primary said anytim i wnt to go no problem...pls advice me
Choose the one that is less stressful. Find out how many subject / classes you are taking for both . Primary school is not as easy as people think it is. You can equally be stressed. Also important is the relationship with your employers. Forget about what the secondary school boss said. Bet me, you can go anytime you choose to.
