Can anyone tell me if EDGE is supposed to offer faster data transfer and if so why Glo EDGE gives slower data transfer than HSPD? Looks like the telco is running a scam or something! Frustrating!

The Govt scams you, your workers scam you, the telcos scam you. Everyone you meet is a potential scammer. Is everything in this country a scam or what?

Oh, lest I forget the greatest scammers. Yes, the Sunday Sunday scammers and the Credit scammers. The former leading thousands by the nose everyday collecting tithes and the latter collecting all manners of COT and text charges for services that are never delivered!

Only lazy cowardly minds resort to terrorism. Why can't they be more innovative particularly as they ought to know the source of all the corruption? 'Our brothers in North Africa' my a~$^*e. I hope their bombs explode in their faces!

These are photographs of a "Christian sister" in her element, employing bottom power as a weapon of man's destruction. Her claims to piety are certainly questionable and her purpose on that occasion was devious. These are the champions of the new "faith" seeking power and fame by any means.

Behind the Legend
This story is both shocking and disturbing. Unfortunately, the truth behind it is much less interesting.

Apparently, the geological team was not very experienced at drilling. Their sensors were misaligned so they drilled at an angle instead of straight toward the planet's core. When the drill broke through, it wasn't through the planet's interior, but through its surface. The team had inadvertently drilled a tunnel through the Earth's crust, finally breaking through in the middle of an Ozzy Ozbourne concert.

I copied the statement above from another website. All I can say is that the internet is a very interesting place!

@Akobaje:

Nice words there and they bring me back to the regretable footing on which we started out over which I'd like to say something. I personally believe all men have choices and members of any club, sect, fraternity etc have right to exercise that choice.

In the case of FreeMasons, I believe same is true and hold no brief either for them or against them - I'm not a member, know next to naught of them and thus cannot judge. The Chris Oyaks membership thing I commented on was not based on judgment of either right or wrong - ness of Masonry but of Paul's words in the Bible vis - "All is legal but all is not expedient" and "I ought not be a stumbling block to another". Oyaks claims a commission which will suffer from disclosure of membership in any group(s) outside of christianity. Masonry is not a part of the Church and thus, his membershio would as a matter of fact, be judged wrong (BECAUSE OF HIS VOCATION).

I apologise for rising to the bait.

Understood. One may sometimes overreact to constant persecution born of prejudice and superstition. The word "cultist" in the Nigerian sense is a derogatory term hence my reaction.

precap2:

My dear bros, you did well in your post above but there is one thing to be added there: extreme in anything is usually bad. The above scripture reference was about a people that were always seeking a sign (mark the word ALWAYS), and they don't seek the sign to believe but to criticize and so on.
Don't forget the word in Mark 16, towards the end, maybe verse 15, 16 or 17 (can't access my pc Bible), it reads: "And this sign shall follow them that believe, in my Name they shall health the sick, . . . cast out demons. . . and if they eat any poison it shall not hurt them". I'm not sure I'm quoting exactly but the entire content is to that effect. The rule says that the sign shall follow them that believe, so if one believes, signs are supposed to follow. Ok? If sign does not follow you when you believe, it does not mean that you believed less, it simply means that after believing you're not concentrating on getting the sign. Sign is not mandatory, it's of volition; to whosoever wills. It's your right.

Holla!

I am not sure exactly what you are saying? No one denies that these things are possible by the power of God. What I require is proof that it happened. It should be easy ehough to show the previous and subsequent medical histories of the boy in question.
Please refer to Luke 24 verse 39 "Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see, for a spirit hath not flesh and bones as ye see me have" This was Jesus talking to his Disciples when he appeared to them after the ressurection. They were afraid as any man would be today if such a thing were to happen. The significance of this is that Jesus did not simply castigate them for their reaction. Rather, he invited them to touch him so as to prove that he ressurected in the flesh. Proof.

Creation is a miracle in itself. I do not think anyone should judge a church by signs and wonders but if you are truly annointed and you perform a miracle, I believe it should be subjected to scrutiny. Afterall it is not by your power.

Does it say somewhere in the Bible that only an evil generation seeks a sign? If so why do these churches seek validation through the performance of supernatural feats? It would be nice to heal such a serious condition as a hole in the heart but my guess is that those who really have the power to do it will never publicise it. Anyone who makes such a feat public should be ready to prove it. If you can't prove it then it's a lie and you are either a cheat or a mythomaniac.

I think that boldness contributes 50% to the success any endeavour. A brave Soldier, a bold theif, a bold liar, a bold adulterer e.t.c. all have something in common. The sheer audaciousness with which a bold person does something wrong coupled with some common sense can leave you dumbfounded long enough for them to get away with it. Proof please!

When you learn that the pastor who delivered the sermon many times in your church was an adulterer or a thief, how do you feel? When the person you voted in as Governor or LG Chairman is declared wanted by the EFCC, how do you feel? When the MD of the Bank you have used for the past ten years is accused and convicted of diverting funds to unlawfully enrich himself and you remember that the same Bank refused your application for an overdraft, how do you feel? Dou you feel good or do you feel cheated?

Only like minds can accept these situations without crying foul. After reading some reactions to this thread it is clear that some Nigerias are so corrupt that they not only accept corruption, they defend it and glorify it and make it a matter of spiritual significance knowing that once in that realm, the matter will be swept under the carpet as usual.

Wait for God to punish criminals o! Don't do anything about it. A Bank MD donates large amounts of money to a church and you dont report to the police? Who's fooling who?

babylishus:

There is a big difference between grieving a man and grieving the Holy Spirit. Big difference.

And please, as far as I'm concerned we no longer have prophets and men of GOD like the days of Joshua, Elisha, Elijah, Isaiah, Jeremiah and John the Baptist to name a few. I will venture to say that none of our Pastors come close to those men of old.

By the way, even Ibori used the 'touch not my anointed' Bible verse to defend himself. The devil himself knows the Bible back to front so please, quoting a few verses does not make anyone a man or woman of GOD.'

This is about stolen money given to the church and wether or not the church should return it. Let's get back to the issue at hand, please.

I agree with you. I think EFCC should investigate how much went to the church and retrieve it. You cant really blame an "innocent" receiver of stolen goods without knowledge of the crime can you?

What is the truth? Please don't answer that it is what Kumuyi preaches abeg. Who know what an unscientific and illogical truth is? Please teach me sir.

BOY again?

Na wa O. Seems most NL brains cannot reach further than that word BOY. Where did people who tell you such as "PMS issues", "go sit on a suya stick - sideways", "slowpoke", "immature skunk", "semen-soiled" etc, all go to? Amazing!

Anyway, I now "think don't get it". FreeMasons are holy people and gods. But you forget Christians do not follow what is lawful but rather what is expedient and whatever is not absolutely OPEN (like freemasonry) would be considered anathema for a supposed christian leader. Obviously you have family who you look up to involved. Thats all right, love, means nothing to me.

Maybe putting it like that clarifies your aggression to you. You ought return to the romance and sexuality section - thats where most of your mental age hang out.

Love always

Such a closed mind tut tut.You need to learn more about the world around you. I see why your name is atomicboy now. You are carrying around too many borrowd ideas. Fill up NL with other people's interpretation of things and pretend to be an intellectual if it makes you happy . What do I CARE.

nuclearboy:

Your history of posts show a childish, unbalanced, violent and sensual mind and this last is just prime - what label did I put on you or your ancestry? And what specifically didn't I understand.

What is wrong with saying it is not fair to call someone a cultist simply because he made a hand signal which could have been innocent? Or is it that I am becoming a target for every wannabe "g*^&" on NL who'd like to prove their communication skills?

Blockhead. You think dont get it do you? Who told you that Fremasons are cultists? Who cares whether pastor Chris is friends with Reverend King. atomicboy.

Wetin I do all of this people Abeg? Another "bad-nuclear-BOY" killer again so soon? I go run O!

@Akobaje:

So what was wrong with that if that was what happened? I didn't say I didn't THINK - I said there was not enough CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE to hang the dude. If that was wrong of me, please show me where I went wrong and what is that to you anyway?

Just check your facts before you label people ok? The fact that you do not understand something does not mean you should label it bad. Such ideas are infectious. Do not spread hate about other people.

vivaladiva:

even if i was married, my response would still be the same aite
wat has marriage got to do wiv my ability to think logically
ok so she f-c-uked d driver, WATS THE EFFING PROBLEM
would it be betta if she fu==cked your boss

I see you need time to understand what marriage has to do with such situations (everything). It does not matter whether it was the boss or the megadi. The fact is that it was not the boss. it was the driver and this is not a hypothesis. My wish for you still stands

@nuclearboy

So you spoke up when Pastor Chris was accused of being a Freemason eh? You did' nt think he was a cultist eh? Ignoramus!

vivaladiva:

would it be betta if it was your gardener or door man
pls wat difference does it make who she cheated with===perharps if she had slept your boss===u could hold your head high with pride
trust me if my driver is hot as some can be=====am not talking about the babalawo looking ones

after all if u cant beat them----which i know u cant----your beta off joining in

Surely you are not married. I hope you find yourself with your megadi (babalawo type) when and if you get married.

"if u knew me cantell===u really wouldnt say that at all

the list goes on and onif u dont like me the way i am===then u can go bleep your mother or sister if u have one
i can think of more horrible miserable things than not getting married"







Wow! I like her. Don't end up as a man hater though.  People are different.

It would be nice to castrate the driver, send the w, re away and all that but isnt it mindboggling that the woman concerned is well educated? I read that some poor guy had a nervous breakdown. That's just how serious it gets. Any other suggestions? What if one should expose them? What happens to the kids and the rest of the family?

Ngor, it does not matter whether you have dated for six years or ten years. There's no rule that you must marry a man because you have dated for a long time. Some marriages break up after two years, some afer ten years, even thirty years! So there's no fast rule to that either. What is important is that you are happy together most of the time (not all the time) and achieve whatever dreams you have in life together.

Your situation is not unique in human experience. There's nothing that has not happened before. Living itself is beset with different risks. So, you may wish to take the plunge. It will not be the first time a woman has followed her heart. I wish you good luck in any decision you take.

Better think about it very well. Marriage is not easy especially when children come into the picture. There's no use fighting over money issues early into your marriage. What if something happens and he can't support you? Willl you still be in love? I dont think so. Think girl, reality is what is at stake not sentiments.

I will say if you love him that much wait for a while longer and imagine how things will work out with his current job status. If the job is only a matter of time, like he is a serious person who will make it no matter what, then go for it. If he is a laid back guy or he has issues that cannot be resolved easily, think again.

Lastly whichever decision you make, remind yourself when the time comes to stick by it and not go looking for the other one that might have been. Also remember that the guy has to marry you and not you him. You must be prepared to submit to him even though you are the one paying the bills. Are you ready for that?

Theblessed, your attitude would seem to be ethically correct. I mean, it shows self respect when you stick by your principles. I agree that for men and women it is difficult to stay with your partner after they have cheated on you but, its all in the mind. Reading your post one immediately knows how rich your imagination is. It is a gift which if applied with a strong emotion can almost produce a condition that will remain with you for a long time.

When a man/woman cheats on a woman/man who has a vivid imagination, the only way they can remain together is through hypnosis. No matter how much they love each other, the mind will never be at rest with the memory of the cheating. So you see, it's not only the cheating that's the problem.

At the other end of the spectrum are those who either by lack of the faculty to visualise or by dint of will power or by their life experiences have lost or discarded the power of imagination. When such people cheat, they will deny even when you catch them at it and they expect that you will forgive them and forget it as soon as possible as if it never happened. I believe many women fall in this category so they find it easier to "forgive" the man. Of course they do not really forgive they just say to themselves "see this mugu he does not know what I have done". I think men need to wake up.

Hello Theblessed. Is it possible as a Christian to forgive an erring husband? And why do you think a man who cheats once will cheat again? As for me I think women are the ones who cant stop cheating when they start and they are more adept at it.

Why is it that when you confront women caught cheating they deny then become violent and abusive as if to say "why did you catch me". If the person is/was your driver can you overcome the shame?

You must give it to these pastors, they are smooth. I think most Nigerians are still afraid of everything around them so when a pastor tells you you will go to hell if you do not give your money to God you begin to shiver. They call it sowing seeds. I once attended a church where the pastor had special prayers for those who donated the highest amount of money (blessings for sale). I wsa utterly disgusted. At that time it was N5,000.00. Three donors stepped forward to recive their special prayers. It follows that those who donated say N1,000.00 received ordinary prayers or no prayers at all.

I find that women are the most gullible. Pity.

I saw the topic and thought we would get some hard core action with pictures of people caught in the act but I ran into a seminary. Haba ppl relax jare wetin consign bible inside manliness and kitty matter

I wondered too. Does anybody really remember what the Bible says when they are cheating or when they catch their partner cheating? Divorce is wrong , blah blah! For better for worse indeed!

I think its more painful when a professed Christian born again woman is caught cheating. That I can never understand. It's not that I think born again Christians are saints, I just dont understand how you can engage in certain acts when you are discussing religion or the bible or something spiritual. Can anyone explain to me?

I think the reason is that women are physiologically submissive in intimate situations while men are dominant. It is more painful, I guess, to find that your partner sumitted to another person (man) rather that finding out that he dominated another person (woman).

If a man were to submit to the wiles of another woman and she takes over his mind, his partner will come close to what a man feels when his partner cheats on him but without the effect a hurt ego feels. The problem with the male ego and all that!

It can be devastating but women, I think, can never understand how it feels. You have to be a man to know. Granted, men too may not know how a woman feels when she has been cheated on and maybe it feels the same but I think it has to do with our physiology.
