1, The Brief
The client instructed Waldigit Concepts as follows:
Project Supervision and Management Development of residential property of property situate and lying at No 15 Folarin Street Alimosho, Iyana Ipaja Lagos.
 
b. Implementation Schedule
 
Waldigit Concepts having conducted our preliminary studies undertook the following operations:
 
Regularization of Town Planning Approval subsisting on the proposed development.
Redesign of the previously approved development documents such as working drawings and structural drawings
Preparation of tentative Cost Estimate on schedules of material, plants and labour in respect of the project, at the client’s discretion.
Mediation and conflict resolution between our Client and Community Land holders over land rites.
 
 
 
The Site
The site is lying on a firm ground with moderate percolating capacity. It’s direction slope and surface flow is not towards public drains. The site has 2 structures existing on it. It has a massive mango tree. Both one of the existing structure and the Mango Tree constitutes impediment to the proposed development. The site is very well accessible by motorable tarred road. The public drain abutting the property has a 1200mm span. Also one of the structure is been occupied by an occupant.
 
NB
The site physical and social environmental condition has a lot of variance impact on the tentative cost estimate of the project in terms of quality, time and cost .This was duly communicated to the client the best way we could.

The Construction Process
The main construction process commenced on the 3rd day of January 2011 with the setting out activities. The process span through the whole length of year 2011. Official commissioning and thanksgiving ceremony took place on the 27th of December 2011.
 
 
Project Review
A number of alterations were made and injected into project implementation schedule as follows:
1.                  The above scheduled estimate was prepared as guide before the physical inspection to the site was conducted.
2.                  The site’s slope was opposite direction away from the public drains, a situation that necessitate major ground modeling of cutting and filling.
3.                  The concrete over site work initially scheduled to be 100mm thick was increased to 150mm.
4.                  Extra layer of concrete was requested to be put on the Ist floor slab at the client’s request.
5.                  The store in the front 1st floor flat was requested to be expanded.
6.                  The existence of structures obstructing the building area, called for demolition and evacuation activities with attendant implication on labour cost.
7.                  The Plumbing system eventually adopted the make the occupant of the building independent to some extent necessitate deviation which did not form part of the schedule under consideration at the conception stage of the project.
8.                  Spiral Staircase was reintroduced as opposed to the initial schedule.
9.                  The existence of occupant on the before and during the building operation and other structures impact so much on the space availability and consequently on material procurement and stock, as such advantage of bulk purchase was jeopardized. The cost implication of this was not part of initial consideration at the conception stage.
10.              The inclusion of miscellaneous structures and improvement with renovation of existing ones also was not part of the initial schedule. Example is external toilets (2nos), boys quarters renovation, store, fence demolition and reconstruction with re-plastering impacted so much on deviation experienced in the initial cost estimate as this does not form part of the considerations and assumption the document.
11.              The choice of PVC ceiling sheet instead of asbestos that was in the cost schedule increased the roof cost implication.
12.              Several stop work request was made at the instance of the client to allow for acceptable decision making.
  
 
 
Conclusion
The project which was estimated at cost of 20 million naira in the year 2010 experience budgetary variance of about 15% due to combination of factors below:
 
Time extension due to social condition of working environment.
Alteration executed during project review in the course of construction
Inflationary cycle effect on building materials
Intervention by the Client.
 
However, from the functional, structural, aesthetic and urban design perspectives, the project has been awarded A ratings by many technical and non technical independent observers .
  
The Contract Sum is twenty three million and forty nine thousand naira only.

italo: Who told you that?

The whole Church is Jesus 'shrine.' Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament always takes centre stage in every Catholic Church.

That's why all the readings and preaching is done from the pulpit at one end of the sanctuary.

Jesus is the centre of our worship and our lives.

Good to hear that, stay blessed and rapturable. Shalom

woky: no need of telling u dat catholics don't worship mary becos u wil never concur even if the truth is obvious to you, so telling u that we dnt worship mary wil be a big waste of time because we wil neve arrive at a compromise.

But house mate, Mary has shrine, even Jesus doesn't have.

Deha: The most righteous man on earth sins 7times a day,everyday........Sometimes,you can unintentionaly commit sin...Becuz it is unintentional,u may nt rememba to ask forgiveness about them....What then happens when u die in them? So,will God allow u go to hell cuz of them? I beg to disagree bro!!

Bro accept the officice of the Holy Spirit and it shall be easy for you to live a sinless life.
On the issue of purgatory although it cant be prooved with the scriptures, however if we give benefit of doubt because we know in part as apostle Paul has said, I think its a fraud and wicked for anybody to go about telling pple about it considering the implication that it can encourage pple no to aspire to attain to holy life. Little wonder you hav a high number of catholics who are nominal believer. I think the doctrine is having toll on them.
Pls don't get me wrong I mean no offence, even my wife is a very devout catholic.

I support the school of thought that opines that it is the rejection of the ministry of Holy Spirit as regards inner conviction that Jesus Christ is the Lord and other facts about him. Almighty God knows it may be difficult for natural man to receive the gospel. That is why it is the Spirit himself who completes the process of witnessing by convincing unbeliever beyond reasonable doubt. He knew the exact amount of conviction individual need to be persuaded. After an individual has been persuaded, he still delebrately denied Christ, it amounts to sin that cannot be forgiven.Lk 9: 62

Introduction

The building construction industry is as old as human civilization itself. The history of the industry evolves with evolution of human settlements and culture. It has its different feature in each age of human existence namely agrarian, industrial and information ages.
As such the building construction industry has over time, in an attempt to overcome evolving challenges as a result of increasing complexity of human settlement( town, country, city, megacity), culminated into specialization that seek to enhance efficiency and economical service delivery in the industry.
This development, however, has created confusion and mix-up impression to members of the public who are expected to be serviced by the industry.
This report, hereby, supplies hints of both general and specialized role of different key players in the industry, in addition to identifying them, while also their relevance.

Land Surveyor

Land Surveying is the art and science of taking measurement of different points over, on and below the surface of the earth crust or other planet crust. Also involved in this is the process of error control.
Land and other surface of the earth is a finite quantity that can be quantified. This quantification is relevant in modern day human society because it helps to solve problems relating ownership, boundary, town/city planning and development. However, the task of accomplishing the land measurement has challenges due to the nature and feature of the earth, such as earth curvature, rotation on its own axis, revolution around the sun, magnetism of the earth and its relationship with other entities of the universe in the field of energy. Also other challenges include standard of measurement, limitation of instrument, error-prone nature of man.
Hence there is need for high level man power with enough skill, knowledge and talent to tackle all the afore mentioned challenges. Land surveyor who is the custodian of land surveying profession is the right man power.
After carrying out surveying operation on the earth surface which may be cadastral survey, leveling, Perimeter survey, hydrological survey, route survey among others, he presents report of his work in a document known as plan or section showing whatever type of surveying he was handling.

Geographical Information System Analyst.

Physical environmental planning and management as a public policy occupation experienced a major challenge during industrial revolution phase of human existence. The technical limitation of ability to capture and process data into information compelled many planning activities to be a mere planning intuition. The cost of spearheading such exercise with the available technology was enormous for developing countries, who were left with the option of only “planning without adequate facts’
However, thanks to the emergence of information age in the 80s. this challenge culminated into marriage between telecommunication, space technology and information technology. This development proffer solution to the age long problems confronting ability of man to effectively capture, process and manage data and information that describe our visual world. GIS analyst is a land information database administrator and system manager.
It is his jurisdiction to help in the popular land search and information concerning public acquisition and the status of each parcel of land in relation to these acquisitions.

Town Planner.

Land and other natural resources are the foundation that supports life and human activities. Lack of processed intervention in allocation of land and natural resources among competing interests of human activities had led to chaos and common inconvenience. This problem became profound as the human developmental phase moved from agrarian to industrial phase. As human settlement evolved from agrarian to industrial phase human settlements evolved from Agrarian Township to city and megacity comprising of different interest group with the complexity of their need pattern. Problems of overcrowding, slum, decay, traffic congestion, pollution, flood epidemic, visual intrusion emerged.
As a result it became necessary that a trained man power of town planner is imperative to control situation of town and cities in the public interest. The profession of town planning is the art and science of surveying, designing, evaluating alternative strategies of allocating land resources and implementing them to achieve optimum returns from spatial content organization of the environment. Human settlement like human body needs to be formed before it can be decorated. Town Planner’s job is to form the human settlement before it comes to the turn of other building and construction professionals to start decorating with bridges, houses, infrastructures, plants, trees e.t.c. he plays this role by specifying the exact location of the spatial content and defining their forms in human settlement.
Sometimes to achieve the above objectives, he prepares, site plan, layout subdivision plan, transportation plan, master Plan, regional among others. He is most popular with the function of development control, which has to do with processing building plan approval for proposed development.



2.1Landscape Architect/Designer/Planner.

The detailed outdoor environment of every human settlement play a major role in supporting many activities of human such as recreation and social gathering. Also. The outdoor environment needs to be protected from ecological and geomorphological imbalance due to intervention of man in the natural settings of ecosystem. There should be a way both natural and artificial to make outdoor environment, aesthetically, beautiful, capable of supporting outdoor activities such as recreation and be environmentally stable and mitigated from intervention of natural of natural system. All of the above are the responsibilities of Landscape Designer/Planner/Architect. His jobs can range from small scale to a very large scale level. He designs, estimate and implement the process of landscape element development. In a developing country like Nigeria, this role is still being played by Town Planner, Architects and Landscape contractors. Landscape design and architecture is a specialized discipline in Town Planning.

Architect/Building Designer

Building as a major content of the built environment is expected meet functional,
structural and aesthetic objectives which are all values of man. Building is a technical, social and psychological product. In order to satisfy the above requirements the superstructure of it which is visible to visual world need to be designed. This forms the jurisdiction of an Architect. To be precise he is saddled with the responsibility of designing the visible component of the building superstructure. (part above ground surface)
Most times, he present his work in form of working drawings showing plan, approach views(elevations), sections, three dimension physical or graphical models, fixture and fittings schedule(details), to aid estimate, construction and approval process.
Sometimes he make a three dimensional presentation to help the understanding of his client in form of physical and graphical model.



Interior Decorator/Designer

Indoor space as created by other member of the industry team is expected be of value and style expressing the status of the occupant/owner. Interior decorator/designer work on specification of stylish finishing such as cornice on ceiling, colours, texture of the wall, curtains, blinding, furniture, architave etc., to enhance desirable visual effect in the indoor. In Nigeria this role has not assume a full professional status.


Quantity Surveyor

Buildings and other construction activities are capital, material and labour intensive at any scale of it. Even the most modest type of building has a considerable cost and labour implications. This is why the concept of “phased implementation is a common place in the industry. There is a natural inquisitive to have firsthand idea of the cost before embarking on the building construction exercise. The knowledge of the cost assists in budgeting and therefore helps to prevent project abandonment. The mechanism of price as a function of demand, supply, time. vis-à-vis the identification of qualitative material and technical knowledge of its quantification necessitate the relevance of the expertise skill. The cost estimation and control in building construction involves a deep understanding of building construction process. All of the above constitute the jurisdiction of the Quantity Surveyor.
He prepares a document known as Bill of Quantities (BOQ). The document can assist the project owner in obtaining mortgage fund to finance the project.


Civil Engineer.

Civil structures such as building, wall, embankment, bridges, road, drainage, sewers, bunkers, tunnels, canal embankments, dam, towers, masts e.t.c. is both functional and structural and in modern cities, an aesthetic products. Their importance in modern infrastructures, transportation and telecommunication systems cannot be overemphasized. Their safety implication is also major factor. As such their design and construction form the jurisdiction of a civil engineer.
He prepares structural detail drawings to guide the construction operation.

Structural Engineer

The invisible structural content of both substructure (foundation) and superstructure Part above ground level) of building must be capable of bearing and sustaining both the dead weight and imposed weight of the building. Also, the material composition of the building structure must be able to last to the end of the life span of such building. All these requirements are contained in building code which is the reflection of man’s values and objectives on safety of human lives.
Structural engineers informed intuition and experience is invaluable in many special cases that are outside the scope of safety code. Such relevance and influence is felt more in high rise structure such as high rise structures, such as tower, mast, reservoir e.t.c. He prepares structural detail drawings to guide the construction operation.
The conscious efforts to achieve the above constitute the jurisdiction of structural engineer. In a developing country like Nigeria the field still remains a specialization in civil engineering.


Geotechnical Engineer

Another specialization of civil engineering that concerns itself with relationship between the surface of the earth, its soil and the structure it bears with a view of coming up with appropriate design for the superstructure (foundation).In developing country like Nigeria, this role is being played by structural engineer.
He conducts and present report on, geophysical survey in respect of a site.




Builder

Building construction operation is a very vast one. Apart from structural requirement, building element needs to satisfy other requirements of safety, convenience and health.
Also the implementation of building concepts and design involves coordination of other team players such as subcontractors, technicians, artisans and unskilled labour. At this junction, a builder comes in as man-power capable of interpreting the specifications of other survey and design professionals. Also he plans and organizes implementation of building operations.


General Contractor

Outside the jurisdiction of a builder are other options of financing personnel management and plant scheduling, which a consulting builder cannot foot bill, especially if the scale is very large. At this point comes the general contractor.


Project Manager

Another middle level contractor is the project manager. He can be hired in lieu of general contractor/Builder. He must be the one of the professionals in the building construction industry who has talent, skill and experience in building operations. The advantage of having him can reduce the cost of construction if he is hired at either at conception and construction, or at design and construction stage.


Real Estate Developer

Real Estate in their raw form without structure or with a structure put to a particular use may have a potential of “latent” (hidden value) by virtue of their location. This value is known as redevelopment value and can only be realized if the land is put to such optimum use. Often time title holders of such properties lack, either knowledge of this due to property market imperfection or finance or financial capacity achieve this.
At this point comes in the jurisdiction of Real Estate Developer as an investor. He sometimes partner with financial institution and the title holders. He undertakes the feasibility and viability studies and the eventual implementation of the development. This is done to the natural benefit of all parties concerned.



Realtor/ Estate Surveyor and Valuers/Appraiser.

He is both involved at conception stage and operational stage of project development cycle. If the building construction is being undertaking for investment purposes, there is a dire need of conducting feasibility and viability study to protect the investment of the investor. This forms part of his jurisdiction. The basis of his relevance lies in the fact that property market is imperfect. As such information of price and product are too tied to location and not freely accessible. At the operational stage of project development when it comes to sale, rent, lease of properties he acts as agent to correct market imperfection by bringing the seller and the buyer together at an equilibrium price.
Again due to property market imperfection the market value of property products are not readily available. Again it became his jurisdiction to assist in determining such market value in an exercise known as valuation and present his report in form of document known as valuation report. The document can be required when real estate is being used as security to obtain credit facility. His other duties include management of the interest of title holders in property.


In Conclusion

The built environment, which is the product of construction, is a planning process, within natural environment culminating into enormously dynamic complex system.
Virtually all human field of endeavor has a role to play in delivering ideal built environment. However, at a professional level ideal built environment service delivery forms major focus of the aforementioned professions. Building as a product of building construction industry, involves contributions of team of skilled, semi-skilled and unskilled man- power. A situation that necessitates high level of co-ordination which can be best handled by a team member with vast multidisciplinary exposure, background and experience, if appreciable degree of economy and efficiency in the service delivery is to be gained. The building and construction industry can be said to possess the following nature:


.building construction industry is one of such that involves some natural endowment of talent and creativity such as you have in the entertainment industry

It involves application of high level of man power development.

It involves high level of integrity on the part of practitioners.

It involves high level of vast experiences in many fields of study.

The situation is so dramatic that there is hardly any building or construction projects that can be completed without either a major or minor conflict between the client and the contractors/consultants, either in public or private sector. Conflict in building or construction projects is so common that it has become a subject of study in our professional training programme.

This is exactly why this article is published to inform the general public that the only way to either avoid or minimize frequency of conflict is to ensure that cost should not be the only consideration in selecting professional or project manager in the industry, but the criteria as highlighted above should be considered alongside with cost when making such decisions.

dddaaayyyooo: That's a lie. They person did not go anywhere. Come to think of it, Close to 50 people now claim they went to heaven and hell, but they all give different account of what they saw. My question now is, "Are there many heavens and Hells since they all see different tinz in d so called hell and heaven. Summary IT IS A LIE

Just how big in size do you think hell or heaven is? As big as nigeria or better still your village. So if 50 people visits different part of US they must come back with the same account of US? When the bible called some people fool I thought it was too hard on them, but now I think I know better!

Memyselfu2009: I don't need to read this trash I would just comment if u re died u re died nothing like hell or heaven u even turn good manure to the ground stop this story of seeing hell and coming back to tell people hw it looks like

Are u sure? What if you are wrong?

Eze Promoe: [color=crimson]Who told you they were bribed?
Her good works is showing for her. She is loved by all Nigerians except for Hausas and Yorubas.[/color]

Oh God, what a deductive reasoning, we have 3 people and two of them are in the minority.

ohaleoghene: I have always want to learn how to draw and sketch out ,but each time I tried,my drawings came out worse than I had imagined. Is drawing an in-born thing,or can I develope it?

There is an aspect that is inborn and another aspect that involves training. Because you love to do it u can go for training in it and be able to do it.

Like someone said earlier, try break it down into fragment go for the basic one 1st then others follow later. Good video tutorial can help a great deal. I use this when I wanted to learn 3D autoCad. I aqcuired many text. But no time to read because they deal with every aspect as a whole body of the skill. But when I got a video that goes straight to my area of interest I became instant expert. Also One on one training might he'll reducing learning curve.

[quote author=speedyboi]Which one be land verification company again?

Abeg nobody should consult any 'land verification' issh! Na the beginning of getting scammed and getting fake approval.

Just consult town planning to come survey the land themselves.

#NuffSaid[/quote

Town planning authority are charged with responsibility of approving your building proposal, though its good for you to approach them for development advice.
Development issues is very complex, part of the problems is from the government and part is from us the governed. I am an expert in development things for the past 15 yrs. The govt. No doubt has a lot left to desired but remember we cannot blame the present ogun state administration because they inherited the problems form the previous ones. On our part too our own problems is that we find it hard to take advice. Real estate development things is every one concerns but when it comes to basic understanding its like rocket science to most pple.
It involves lots of capital and its a mountain of wealth hence we like to cut corners and don't showcase moderation. Its only when there is an issue that we begin to lament and shift blames.
In my subsequent post I shall begin to enlighten us on real estate development issues introduce us to my blog where we can obtain more info, and if we don't mind my ebook on the same topic currently selling on amazon kindle store. I chose to sell outside the country because black man don't like to read for knowledge but to pass exam and for entertainment. Shalom

solomon111: Smdh.
How does scamming equates to ICT prowress?

You don't get the gist that's why I added their fear is reflected the way they are avoiding doing business with us on platform that is supposed to be the safest web based security system such as paypal. Their fear is that we can hack the system and this can lead to cybernetically induced global economic melt down. It goes beyond mere e-mail scams.
Be smart man. The future is digital, get some training. I am into IT security. Research omo niger.

To me I see strength in weakness here, I see opportunity in problems here. No doubt if a pioneer country like US could be scared silly by our prowess in IT, I think if we can harness our strength the positive way the future is ours.
Boy, we scare these guys silly, if a multinational corporations like click bank, pay pal, ebay security teams can not control scammers from nigeria, I think those guys are smart and have great potentials but are just unfortunate to take to crime.
But with the right leadership we can change all that and become the leading force in ICT in nearest future.

mcfynest: and who told you that you are winning

I don't need to told. Even though Holy Spirit is convincing me, unfolding events around the world that are happening according to how it was written in the bible prophesies is enough to convince the doubting thomas out of me .the evidence of genuiness of my faith as evident with signs following has persuaded me .Beloved take Jesus away from this world, within minutes well be back in to stone age. He is the prince of peace we all enjoy today.

Beretta92: ...and he was the only who impregnated his mother to give birth to himself in order for him to sacrifice himself and redeem man from the curse that he laid on man in the first place...and yet he failed in his attempt to undo what he'd done(the evidence of his failure is glaring).

And that's what I call the mystery of the Gospel. It is for men in spirit, but simple in the physical, not for the boys or feeble minded in the spirit. Shalom.

mcfynest: IS IT A COMPETITION

Oh yes pls. Because the bible says so in 1cor 9:24-end, phil 2:16,Heb 12:1. The contest is between God and devil and I am glad I am on the winning side.I am more than a conquerous I am a winner.

tintingz: You are the dumbest atheist I have engaged discussion with. If you read my post again I said killing someone unjustly is a big sin according the Quran but since the topic said about self-defense, one can avoid attack from his/her enemy but if the enemy insist on killing you defend yourself if the person die during the fight then Allah knows best, he/she has saved himself from being kiiled just like wars when enemies attacked a nation do you want the people to sit and let some people wipe them out?

I asked you as an atheist will you allow your enemy to kill you or defend yourself? What's is your viewpoint on this?

Solomon is the wise king approved by God to rule the Isrealites, all the wars in the bible fought by king solomon and his father king David are all under Jehovah command to fight and kill their enemies.

I just gave you a verse where Jehovah command Moses to fight for their land what chapter do you want again?

Ok you want another one...

Deuteronomy 20:1 When you go to war against your enemy and see horses and chariots and soldiers far outnumbering you, do not recoil in fear of them; GOD, your God who brought you up out of Egypt is with you. When the battle is about to begin, let the priest come forward and speak to the troops. He’ll say, “Attention, Israel. In a few minutes you’re going to do battle with your enemies. Don’t waver in resolve. Don’t fear. Don’t hesitate. Don’t panic. GOD, your God, is right there with you, fighting with you against your enemies, fighting to win.”

The Isrealites are fighting for their lands with their enemies under Jehovah command.

You are the one with problem.

I can see double standard here each time you people see something to support your view in the bible you suddenly become bible believer, but if what is being referred from the same bible do not favour you, you immediately turn around to say the account is falsified.
The logic is this if you believe what you have quoted is true, then you must adopt every other part of the bible including the ones that says Jesus is the son of God hence also God. You must accept Him as your Lord and personal saviour to be saved. Anything short of this is double standard insincerity. Shalom.

Can You Beat these Records?


He is the one who has a name that is above other names: JESUS. Phil 2

He is the only one who through instruction from God the father, is your creator (Eph 3:9)

He is the only one who broke the record of loving his supposed enemy to the extent of dying for them. (Isa 53:5,John15:13),

He is the only one whose conception was divinely processed by the Holy Spirit hence, had a natural virgin birth. Luke 1:34-35

He is the first person to open the eyes of blind from birth person. John 9:1-32

He is the only One whose record of holiness while he was in the world, hitherto has not been broken. John 14:30

He is the only one who has largest no of witnesses who testified to us that he is Christ, the Lord. Isa 9:6, Psalm 110 Ezekiel, Mathew, Mark, Luke, John. Paul

He is the only one who influenced and defined the worlds concept of time like nobody else.(AD,BC) Dan. 7:9

He is the only one who declared himself that he is God and then went ahead to proof it. (John 8:58, John10:34, Mat17:2 Mark 9 :2

He is the only one who revealed to us God the father like nobody else (Mathew 11:27, John10:10, 1John 3:8 )

He is the only one who predicted His own death and promised his resurrection, also went ahead to fulfill them. (Mat 26

He is the only one who declared His monopoly to God, the Almighty and the statement still remained popular, valid and indisputable more than 2000 years after till date John 14:6.

He is the only who ascended with glorified body to Heaven and promised His coming back in the same manner (Amen) (Act 1: 9-10).

He is the only one who will judge every creature one day. Rome 14:10

He has the most popular and long lasting, widely acceptable controversial doctrine.

He is the only who did not write a single book, yet the book written about him remains the most persecuted yet, best seller of all time.

He remains the most widely written about personality of all time.

Friend, if you are sincere with yourself enough to know you cannot beat these records and neither know of anyone who has or can, then I want you to agree with me that you can’t afford to ignore them.
Hence, join the wining team by accepting JESUS as your Lord and personal saviour NOW!

me2me: I personally experienced back right tyre blow out on speed of about 130/140 km some donkey years ago and was able to bring the car to a halt without complications (Thank God). In the event that a front tyre suddenly blows out on top speed (God forbid), what is the best way to handle the situation?

Sir I will like to advise u to adhere to road safety laws on speed limit. Doing btw 130 to 140 on nigerian road is disobidience to God. So all this "thank God" God Forbid things may just amount to hipocrisy whenever it above 100 I can assure you angels are no longer in charge.

Garri_Activist: The God of Israel is the God of Egypt, HE is also The God of Jesus! And He is The God of Moses, Abraham, Isaac. He is The God of USA, CHINA, JAPAN, NIGERIA, God of the universe..

He's name is Allah

And all through eternity nobody knew him in person or by that name until some disillusioned individual came up introducing him by unleashing terror on fellow humans. You know sometimes I am tempted to feel one doesn't need Holy Spirit to know the truth about this god u call allah.

By the grace and mercy of God I pray as I pray everyday I and everybody I know shall not miss rapture.
But this is my advice if anyone misses it, pls take the next available means of transport to Isreal. The state of isreal is the only nation that shall resist the AntiChrist to some extent. One stand the chance of not receiving the mark of the beast if you are in isreal.

fankasibe: Blame it on Nigeria music industry for spreading immorality.

And also our censorship board

Salym: you must b sick in d head 4 sayn that...boko haram is nothn bt a group of criminals using islam as a stooge to perpetrate their barbaric killings of people....Allah will surely expose dz people and their sponsors one day and you will b surprised who they will be...

Pls. This forum is not the right place to debate this, shekau has already challenged you pple to a debate on whether it is islam that mandated the killings or not. Go and take up the challenge, stop wasting your time here cos the dead does not need either your prayer or your curse. Shalom

shamson: Find out why the presence of Allah is real and why Islam is the only true religion.
Ask google why, don't be deceived, set your mind free.
Let this picture from far away germany be your guide

So you rely on google and picture of questionable source to guide you to truth. Behold I rely on events in that post you replied and indwelling of holy spirit in me as my guide. You can imagine where the world would have been now if the world power had not been balanced by force of christianity. If USA, Britain, France, other europian union are islamic countries, your guess is as good as mine. The power of Holy Spirit has balanced it that way and so shall it remain until rapture of the church. Anyway you may not understand but let me tell u and others like u that events of this dispensation shall be witness against you before the white throne judgement of Christ. What do you do,you had better run for your life and come to Jesus He loves you and so do I. Shalom.

Garri_Activist: see how you are confusing yourself brother! No kneels except the lost ones will bow to Jesus. No kneels! Jesus himself prayed to Allah.. Don't be too scared to ask questions bro, you know your story book is full of fallacies and contradictions. Na whitee arrange am. Confusion here and there in the story book bible..

Get yourself cleansed up and read the holy Qur'an with English translations. Read Suratul Maryam (Mary), read with an open mind and get the perfect picture of your so-called saviour.. Jesus said: "I am the servant of Allah, I was give a book and I was made a prophet.


Peace!

What Jesus said was effectively captured more than 500 years after his exit from the world by someone who was 6 generations gap from Him, and you about 20 generations gap from them just swallowed that line hook and sinker. Pls where is the place of brain that is worth more than all the super computers in the whole world in this.

Dereformer: I keep saying it, Islam is a curse to this world.

You can say it again. Even if you don't say it, it is becos the BIBLE tells me so.

DMainMan: C dis educated illiterate. So u ar very ignorant dat u think all Nigeria muslims are Mallam (Hausa). U ar a disgrace to humans. Go to ur poor country and neva u come to my nation cos u ar worst dan a dummy.

Read below and learn well. When u reach such level of knowledge, we can now talk. I cant waste my tym to an ignoramus.

Look at how many western nations are converting to Islam e.g London:

London: Islam is continually growing
at rapid pace across the globe and the
European countries are particularly
experiencing growing number of
Muslims in their population. On the
other hand, they are also witnessing
drastic decline in Christianity among
their people as people find peace in
the true religion of Islam.

These facts have been endorsed by
different surveys conducted in the
western world.

Recently, a new large-
scale survey also completely endorsed the facts and showed a dramatic decline in
Christianity among young British people
and an equally notable increase in the
numbers adhering to Islam.
The survey of 20,062 people was
commissioned by former British
Conservative party’s Deputy Chairman,
Lord Ashcroft.

Titled “Small island: Public opinion and
the politics of Immigration,” the poll
included a question asking, “To which of
the following religious groups do you
consider yourself to be a member of?”
According to a press release on the
National Secular Society website, some 36
percent of those surveyed across all age
categories have no religion while 55
percent said that they are Christians and
3 percent described themselves as
Muslim.

Meanwhile, in the 18-24 age group, 46
percent said that they have no religion
while 33 said that they are Christians and
11 percent identify themselves as
Muslim.

“The large number of young people
identifying as Muslims – much larger than
previous generations – suggests that
Islam will soon be a much more
significant force in this country than it is
at the moment,” said Terry Sanderson,
President of the National Secular Society.
Earlier in May, an analysis of the 2011
census suggested that Islam could
overtake Christianity as the dominant
religion in Britain in ten years for the first
time ever.

According to the report published by the
Office for National Statistics (ONS), the
number of people following the Christian
faith in the UK has fallen from 71.7
percent in 2001 to 59.3 percent in 2011.

You may be right or wrong, behold, I show you a great misery, the true church of Christ is not christain religious body as you know it. The scripture says it is minority. That is why their way to heaven is narrow because of light traffic. I am happy with your statistics if its true because it is reminding me that the church will soon be taken away. It is in line with scriptures prophesy and the body of Christ is not moved. Broad is the way to Hell and majority are moving trough it. A time is coming shortly that all of the enemy of Christ will come together in the name of peace and unity of religion, one economy, one government.One of your converts, the antichrist may be from europe shall bring the suggestion. Before you can say Allah is great, you shall find yourself disowning that Allah for another revealed god - the anti christ. The end of all this shall be Lake of Fire except you surrender to Lordship of Christ. Shalom.

babyosisi: No I am not happy
But the environment in the SW is ripe for radicalism
There are articles on street children in Ibadan,most are Muslims
The same polygamous environment that produced almajiris in the north has produced tons of homeless touts in the SW
And these are the easily radicalized by the right imam
The events are just unfolding in our eyes
In 2006,I remember someone writing here that Nigeria could never blow themselves up
That we loved life too much
Has that not been proven to be wrong?

The problem is not Yoruba,it is Islam
And wherever it is found,it has the potential to be violent because of the beliefs within that system
I can't even stand here and say an Igbo Muslim convert could never do this,they can,with the right teachings

There is a youtube clip with two Muslims Yoruba men,2 college professors,one is also a chief imam in a university in the SW
It is scary to watch,there is no difference between their mindset and that of Osama bin Ladin

I quite agree with u. The problem is not tribe but religion, It shall be shallow mindedness to bring tribe into this. The commnon denominator the ISLAM which has a version that embraces violence. Even American and British muslims with terrorist tendency are worse than their Yoruba or Nigerian or African counterpart.

abduldope: MR MaN SHut up!!! If nt for d americans would anytn lyk Bombing occur in IRAQ or AFGHANISTAN Tk example IRAN despite the shi'a n sunnis rivarly ova 10yrZ they hav neva been anytn lyk killing there!

Lucky don, you can see he alraedy becoming violent in his reaction! I hav posted the truth time without number, the scripture cannot be broken, it is written, as long as the earth remaineth the only time islamites will embrace Peace will be the time of antichrist who will come up with fake peace tribute to usher in global uniform system of one religion and govt. Let me remind you what we are witnessing is just a fulfillment of prophesy. And there is nothing any mortal can do about it, mark my words.
