Christianity EtcPossibility Of Satan Repenting And Returning Back To Heaven by xyoung(op): 11:09am On Oct 15, 2012
Jus curious if satan decide to repent 2day and God forgives him, will the evil things end since satan is in charge of all the evil spirits
Secondly in the book of Job, satan always return to heaven whenever the sons of God were counted..Note lucifer have been casted down to heaven before the world was created so does it mean that Satan can enter Heaven anytime to raport with God
Some1 should throw more light

Jobs/VacanciesRe: Similarities Between Football And Job by xyoung(op): 5:08pm On Sep 29, 2012
234GT: Guy you do well o. A difference is that in football, a club can loan a player to another club, eg, my one and only Hernan Crespo was loaned from chelsea to ac milan. That cant happen in the labour market. Shell will never loan a top engineer to mobil.
You are sooooo on point
Anoda similarity is dat in football and job market, transfers/employment go thru backdoor at times eg mikael obi was headin for manutd before backdooor tins brought hi to chelsea, tevez/mascherano experienced d same back door tins b4 endin up in westham
Likewise some companies never advertise and only employ thru backdoor eg pan ocean, Afren and NNPC

Jobs/VacanciesSimilarities Between Football And Job by xyoung(op): 10:22am On Sep 29, 2012
Labour market can be likened to the football market
Let's check out the similarities
1..Football transfer happens when another club meet the transfer fee/buy out clause of a player( luca modric moved to real madrid because de met d buy out clause in spurs) which is similar to an employee who resigns to another company as soon as they are ready to pay more (my toolpusher friend resigned for .... To .... (Name withheld) because his transfer fee was met)

2..We have the championsleague league where big clubs like real madrid, man utd, barcelona belong which can be likened to International oil companies where exxonmobil, chevron, shell belong
We gat Europa cup(liverpool, feyenoord, sevilla) jus like oil servicing companies (schlumberger, halliburton, transocean)

3..You find out that most players in europa cup dream of playing in the UEFA championsleague( steven gerrard dream of coming to Man city) jus as most employees in oil servicin companies dream of entering International oil companies ( oando energy service staff dream of working in Shell)

4...After playing for some years, a striker (player) can become a coach (fillipo inzaghi now coach of milan youth team) similar to a roustabout who can rise to become the rig manager

The basic difference
1..A player cannot change club more than twice( transfers occur only at summer break-august and winter break-january) in a season but in a year an employee can change companies as much as he want to.

2...A player cannot play for championsleague and europa cup in d same season (if van pierse cannot play for man utd in championsleague and move to inter milan in january, he cannot play in d europa league) but a schlumberger employee can resign after three month to Addax petroleum and after another 5month, resigns to Total E&P

3...To become an effective manager or CEO of a company, you need field experience coupled with several training eg sunmonu was a graduate trainee many years ago and now MD of shell but in football, you don't need experience as a footballer to become a good coach eg Jose mourinho was never a footballer but now an excellent coach

Other similarities and difference exist, TALK YOUR OWN

PoliticsTaribo Seeks Amaechi’s Intervention Over Eagles’ Land by xyoung(op): 4:34am On Sep 29, 2012
SUPER Eagles former centre-back, Taribo West, has called on the Rivers State Government to intervene in the alleged encroachment of plots of land given to the national team officials and players who qualified Nigeria for the Korea/Japan 2002 World Cup.

The plots of land were reportedly given to the team by the then Rivers State governor, Peter Odili, after the Eagles overcome stiff opposition from Ghana and Liberia to qualify for the Mundial for the third consecutive time.

According to a document made available to our correspondent, the plots were allocated to 27 officials and players of the team at Trans Amadi Layout Phase 2 in Port Harcourt.

The ex-player turned pastor said it was embarrassing to learn that the plots of land donated to the players and officials, who made the country proud, were taken over by other people.

“It’s sad that some people have started developing the land given to us in 2002 by Odili, in recognition of our efforts in qualifying for the World Cup 10 years ago,” the former Inter Milan hard-as-nails defender said.

PoliticsFirst Lady, Mrs Jonathan, Is Battling With Parkinson’s Disease by xyoung(op): 12:46am On Sep 29, 2012
Nigeria’s First Lady, Patience Jonathan, is battling an onset of Parkinson’s disease that has complicated her recovery from a surgical procedure in Germany, several reliable sources have disclosed. Mrs. Jonathan was flown to a hospital in Wiesbaden, Germany close to a month ago to undergo emergency treatment after a botched procedure in Dubai.



In an interviews with three sources familiar with Mrs. Jonathan’s health status, it was learnt that the Nigerian president’s wife is beset by Parkinson’s disease, a degenerative syndrome. The disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system. A medical source described it as “a fairly common disorder that occasions degeneration of the nervous system.” The source added that the disease leads to “progressive impairment and disorder of movement.” An online medical site notes that Parkinson’s “is characterized by progressive loss of muscle control, which leads to trembling of the limbs and head while at rest, stiffness, slowness, and impaired balance. As symptoms worsen, it may become difficult to walk, talk, and complete simple tasks.”....continue reading

The bombshell revelation about the First Lady’s medical woes was first made by a source familiar with Mrs. Jonathan’s previous secret treatments in Spain and Italy. The source disclosed that Mrs. Jonathan had battled Parkinson’s for some years now. In addition, doctors had advised her to “do something urgent about her morbid body mass index (BMI),” said the source. She added that Mrs. Jonathan had indeed considered undergoing the kind of tummy tuck procedure that former Governor Diepreye Alamieyeseigha once had.

Two other sources close to the Jonathans confirmed that the First Lady has been dogged by Parkinson’s. One said the disease was largely responsible for her clumsiness, drawling speech and slow movement at public events. He added that Mrs. Jonathan has been suffering serious trembling in the left hand. “That’s why she always uses her right to hold the microphone when speaking at public events,” the source revealed. Mrs. Jonathan also reportedly is affected by stiffness of the limbs and trunk which affects her movement.

A news staffer at the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) told SaharaReporters that Mrs. Jonathan’s aides warned reporters covering her never to film her beyond her waist. “Her senior personal assistant told the crew covering her long ago: ‘Don’t ever film Madam’s waist. Show her face only.’ That’s been the code at NTA.”

Two of our sources stated that Mrs. Jonathan had made efforts to slow the disease that had started to ravage her. “She has been visiting a health farm in Italy on a regular basis since 2010,” one source revealed. “To alleviate her pain, she has been taking her medication religiously.”

A friend of Mrs. Jonathan’s said that the First Lady’s health maladies include anxiety, occasional memory loss and disorientation. In addition, her blood pressure often rises to dangerous levels, forcing her to take a cocktail of anti-hypertensive drugs.

Also, our sources said that some officials attached to the First Lady’s office described her as constantly depressed, prone to snapping at people at the slightest provocation. “The First Lady can just get angry at the slightest provocation and rain abuses at anybody in sight,” he said.

As happened during the health crisis of the late President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, the Nigerian Presidency’s reaction to Mrs. Jonathan’s health condition is to be mum. When SaharaReporters contacted a senior aide of President Jonathan on the matter of the First Lady’s illness, he sharply said, “I’m not saying anything. And please don’t mention that you spoke to me.” SaharaReporters learnt that officials of the Presidency are under a virtual oath of secrecy on the issue of Mrs. Jonathan’s health crisis.
