there's nothing someone will not hear in this world. my dear, i think you should talk to her, let her know how wrong her ideology is. if she doesnt take what you said, then its a clear sign she's not yours. Dont worry you'll get to meet your soulmate, the one who will be there spiritually, physically, financially and emotionally for you! Peace.... 1 Like |

Politics / Re: Epic Response To Ben-Bruce Apology To Unilag Students On Twitter (pics) by Amyleb(f): 4:48pm On Feb 21, 2016 |
Some people are just good making issues out of none. The Unilag students should even appreciate the privilege of being in such an event. The wise ones amongst them would have used the given opportunity to get helpful contacts and connections. Instead what they did was to watch carefully to see what Ben didn't do so they can castigate hell of out of him. Ben has the decency to apologize, accept and move on. I know you have hosted a party before where someone was neglected, the same way you felt is the same way Ben felt too. Abeg Nigerians let's begin to have a different mindset and see if at all this country will move forward. |
Religion / Re: The Deception Of Malachi 3:10-11 "Devourer" And "Storehouse" EXPOSED by Amyleb(f): 3:47pm On Feb 17, 2016 |
Sir quote author=Goshen360 post=18707028] GOD’S WORD Translation (GW) 11 Then, for your sake, I will stop insects from eating your crops. They will not destroy the produce of your land. The vines in your fields will not lose their unripened grapes,” says the Lord of Armies.
Good News Translation (GNT) 11 I will not let insects destroy your crops, and your grapevines will be loaded with grapes.
5. From this translations, devourer still = crops eating insects, not sickness, not demons, not poverty, not devil but insects that eats crops. Are you still there? If you're there shout hallelujah!!! I will put everything together in the end o. Just follow the context and the exposition. [/quote] sir,let us be mindful of the way we interpret the word of God, I can see the way you emphasized on the "devourer"thing, why did you neglect the "bring in your tithe part". Remember that there's a standing curse in the bible for anyone who mislead the children of God. God loves you dear |
Religion / Re: Why Catholics Pray Through Mary by Amyleb(f): 1:52pm On Feb 17, 2016 |
italo: Jesus is the only way, yet you pray for your loved ones. Can they not go to him directly instead of going through you?
Think! You don't get it at all. When we pray for our loved ones, it is done in the name of Jesus Christ, we make the prayer to the father through the Son ( Jesus, the WAY), with the holy spirit giving us the right words to say. |
Religion / Re: Reasons You Should Leave Christianity by Amyleb(f): 1:10pm On Feb 17, 2016 |
DeathStroke007: Religion is supposed to be followed dogmatically because it's supposed to be from Creator, Your own or anybody opinion on any matter or issue in religion is IRRELEVANT. do you agree with me?
Since this religion /Christianity is based on Jesus / that means every single thing about this religion must come from Jesus teachings.... do you agree?
Now, the name of the religion.. Christianity.. people were called Christians long after Jesus Christ is #dead/arosen to his father /.... due to point number 1, the name Christianity is IRRELEVANT and we who truly follow Jesus should reject it..
Now on the issue Bible.. this book is like biography of prophets written by other people.. most of their writings are based on heresy.. non of the prophets supervised the contents in Bible to know maybe it's true or not.. but, in every heresy, there's always a little truth. This brings us to the deity of Jesus... In the Gospel according to mark or Mathew or Paul and others, IS THERE ANY WHERE IT WAS REPORTED THAT JESUS SAID I AM GOD, WORSHIP ME? absolutely no.. Jesus ain't God... and on the issue of Jesus as biological son of God, because of the word begotten and the circumstances surrounding his birth... David too was begotten son of God.. does that make him biological son of God? and on the circumstances surrounding the birth of jesus, go reach Malachi, the circumstances surrounding the existence is Malachi according to Bible is far greater than Jesus.. Malachi was never given birth to and he didn't die...
On the issue of Church as a place of worshipping God, did Jesus go church? absolutely no..
On the issue of mode of worshipping God, did Jesus dance, sing and collect tithe?? absolutely no..
On the issue of Jesus coming to this world to die for our sins... according to the historians Mathew, mark,Paul and so, where is it in the Bible that Jesus said I COME INTO THIS WORLD TO DIE FOR YOUR SINS?.... when Jesus first stated his reasons for existence, HE SAID I DIDN'T COME INTO THIS WORLD TO DESTROY THE COMMANDMENTS (MOSES) BUT TO FULFIL IT...
Paul who never knew or see Jesus, teaches every single things most Christians believe in today.....
it's your choice to believe what you want.... .. A little advice to you, be careful with what you say! Don't let people be misled with your statement cos you will definitely be punished for it. God loves you plenty |
NYSC / Re: A16 Delta Corpers..let's Meet Here... by Amyleb(f): 12:55pm On Feb 17, 2016 |
Now you're talking...Thanks boboLIL: THINGS YOU MUST KNOW BEFORE GOING FOR NYSC 2016..
NYSC MATTER Heading to NYSC Orientation Camp? Heeding the Clarion Call? Here is a comprehensive list of things you need to take to camp. aka “NYSC camp requirements” Included are some HOT TIPS UPDATED FOR 2016 First off, the requirements. These are compulsory and you will not be allowed to Camp if you don’t have them with you.
PART 1: Official NYSC Camp Registration Requirements: 1. CALL UP LETTER: This is a vital part of camp registration and the only evidence that you are a prospective corps member (colloq. Corper, orOtondo) and you are not impersonating anyone. This will be taken from and not returned to you. So if at all you even forget your luggage never forget this.
Tip: Since many will choose the N3,000 option to print online, do try to use a café with laser jet printers and not DeskJet. Why? Documents printed with DeskJets are more susceptible to water/moisture damage. Just to be on a safer side and you should do this with any document you intend to keep for a very long time. If you can’t find a LaserJet, use anyone.
Tip: DO NOT LAMINATE IT! And keep it like its your life. I know someone who was sent back because she forgot hers. Also someone who had to beg and beg before his letter was collected because he laminated his own copy. So please avoid all these stress and make enough copies of this letter.
Tip: Remember you can REPRINT your Call-Up letter online if subscribed (N3,000) to that option.
2. Registration Documents: If you’re a foreign graduate, take along the original credentials you uploaded (to the NYSC Portal) for physical verification / evaluation.
3. Green Card: It contains your bio-data. Print and bring along your signed copy.
4. Final Year Student IDENTITY CARD
5. Notification/STATEMENT OF RESULT from School
6. PHOTOCOPIES OF YOUR DOCUMENTS: Now make about 10 copies of every document required. There would be photocopiers in camp at mammy market but trust me, it is double the price and it saves time.
7. PASSPORT PHOTOGRAPHS: This is very important. Take as many as you can, about 20 in red backgrounds. You would need them for different kinds of registration. e.g, skill acquisition groups, religious groups, sports, redeployment, bank account opening e.t.c
8. My CLEAR BAG: You’ll need to put the aforementioned in a portable envelope/bag that can withstand some amount of wear/tear. Hence, My Clear Bag. Tip: The forms that will be handed to you are very easy to fill. Attach your passport where necessary and fill them correctly. After your registration, you will be issued with your State Code Number. This will be like your PIN throughout your Service Year. Witty
PART 2:
9. CERTIFICATES/LICENSES: For Doctors, Pharmacists, Nurses & Lab Scientists, take along your proof of certification. Graduates of Medicine and Pharmacy are expected to have their Certificates of Registration with Nigerian Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (NMDCN) and Pharmacists Council of Nigeria (PCN) respectively.
10. STATIONERY: PEN, PAPER, GUM. Yeah this saves time and lots of unnecessary begging.
Tip: Some camps do seize staplers at the gate during check-in. But do not forget to include pins in your stapler if you still decide to take it along. You will be given a meal ticket that gives you access to the Camp kitchen for the 21 days. Lose it and you have to feed yourself. Even if you do not intend to use it, you will come across someone who would appreciate the kind gesture.
Tip: After getting your NYSC State Code Number (which you have to wear around your neck all through camp with your ID card), you can proceed to claim your NYSC Kit and Mattress after which you can proceed to get a Room. After you have gotten your kit and secured a place in the hostels, you can settle down and you are good to go to start the Military parades. Now, Your NYSC kit should contain 1 NYSC Crested Vest, A pair of Khaki Trousers, Cap and Jacket, 2 White T-shirts, 2 Pairs of Knickers, 2 pairs of green-stripped Stockings, A Pair of Orange Jungle Boots and One Pair of White Converse. A “Belt” is also included.
PART 3:
DAILY NEEDS:
11. ROUND-NECKED WHITE T-SHIRTS: This is an essential outfit in camp in fact in most camps this is the only allowed cloth to be worn throughout your 3 weeks. Even to church, you might not be allowed to wear colored cloths. You would be given 2 pairs of white t-shirts at camp to just fulfill all righteousness which surely would never be your size especially our very slim and small otondo in size . So you can bring extra pairs (6). Why? Because you probably wont have time to wash during the week after being stressed out from the parades and Man-O-War drills.
Tip: Do not carry more than 2 pairs of colored clothes because you wont need them.
12. WHITE SHORTS: I beg you please do bring yours. you would also be given 2 pairs of shorts which are really poor in material. They tear easily and it can be annoying. So my dear Otondos bring like 4 pairs of shorts. Trust me also you wont like to wash everyday, so bring enough to last you like 3 days so that you wont be stranded.
13. PLAIN WHITE SNEAKERS/TENNIS SHOES:This is a very important outfit. you would also be given an ugly pair of low quality white tennis shoes customized for NYSC. It’s either you are not given your size although you can find someone with your size and swap. But after the first wash it starts tearing. So just buy yours (white). They also sell this in camp, so in case you are not able to get you could buy in camp just carry extra cash for that because the price would be higher – as with everything in Mammy – because they know you have no choice than to buy. Now, If you happen to camp during the rainy season (Batch ‘B’ ), get white rubber sneakers/boots especially if you’re posted to the Southern part of the country (esp. the South South. Read, Bayelsa). The parade fields/mammy market will be messed
14. WHITE SOCKS: Just get extra pairs.
15. PADLOCKS: [BRING or BUY from Mammy] Please lock your boxes and bags to avoid regrets and tears. I know someone who lost more than 5 items including his two phones – like he’s the only one in camp.
16. WAIST POUCH: /Fanny pack/Bum bag (or for the more fashion-conscious, a cross-body purse).The bum bags are more popular because they won’t bang against you when you’re active and your hands are free to do whatever. You need it to carry your money, phone, small valuables, pens, etc around with you at all times. You should sleep with it too.
17. MOSQUITO TREATED NET: You would do not want to fall sick in camp from malaria and miss out on the fun. Just bring yours. Also bring ropes you would use to hang it. The nets usually have these. I also used mine as a room to protect my box and properties from thieves and also from some insects and ants.
18. BASIC DRUGS: Like paracetamol, medicine for your allergies, menstrual pain relief drug, nausea relief drugs, antibiotics e.t.c. The camp clinic is sometimes inadequately stocked with drugs so help yourself. True story – A corper from the previous batch donated at least a million Naira worth of medicine to our (Lagos) camp clinic, and barely a few days later, they claimed to have run out of medicine.
19. ANTISEPTIC/DISINFECTANTS: Such as Dettol etc. This is very, very essential. Firstly the bathrooms can be very annoying and dirty and more importantly, you would not like to have infection from camp. Bad idea. Depending on your camp, the water can be dirty. Most people always have reaction to it.
20. DETERGENT: [BUY from Mammy.] Again, this reduces the amount of load you’re bringing into camp. However, if you’re lucky the mammy market will have vendors offering laundry services! It costs about N50 per item, N100 for your khaki trousers or jacket, extra N50 if you want your items pressed although cost will vary across camps.
Tip: The Bucket: Buy this in Mammy. Don’t stress yourself taking one to Camp, which you’re probably going to leave behind after 3 weeks.Toiletries: Toilet Paper, Sanitary Pad, soap dish etc. BUY in Mammy.
21. TOWELS
22. A PAIR OF SLIPPERS: [BRING or BUY]
23. Bed sheets, Pillow Cases and A Pillow. You could also get pillow from mammy market to reduce load.
Tip: Mattresses will be provided by NYSC. It is best to “double up” with the mattresses, as they are about 1 to 2 inches thick. Lol.
24. HANDKERCHIEF. There will be BUCKETS of sweating. Do yourself a favor.
25. FLASK, BOWL AND CUP: [BRING or BUY] For eating. Important for those who intend on eating Camp food. Tip: You will be fed three times a day in camp but I must not lie to you, the food there is nothing to write home about. They can be nice on few occasions like Sundays, but most days, they are poor. If you are someone who loves to eat good food, make provisions for your own food. You should get some fast foods along, some breakfast cereals and beverages. You should also hold extra cash to eat at the Mammy market. You will get good meals there.
26. BEVERAGE: The camp will supply you with “Tea-water” or ‘brown-water’ so you can make tea when you need to!
27. FLASHLIGHT OR RECHARGEABLE LAMPS:[BRING] Most camps, do not give light except at a specific time of the day. It’s very essential especially at night when you need to use the bathroom, early in the morning when preparing for morning drills and meditations and at night in case you need to do anything. At the mammy market, there is always light till they close, usually 10pm except on days like the Camp Fire Night where they stay open till, say, 3am depending on how lenient your camp commander is. You can charge your lamps there for a little fee.
28. Some form of entertainment: Novels – for those who get bored easily, please carry some. And for guys PSP or chess. also iPod and MP3 players for audiophiles.
29. Your Ray-Ban sunglasses for the sun. And if you can’t afford that, get a Ray-Bon.
30. Get extra phone batter(ies) and extra Network SIMs. Some networks are not available at some camps as they’re usually in remote locations, far from town centres. Once you get your call-up letter, you can find out (from serving corpers or tweet at @_NYSC) which network has the best reception at your destination camp. If you need data access, find out if that available also. Instagrammers and keekers, if you get EDGE thank your stars. But there has been some improvement as network providers have focus
31. CASH: Extremely important. You would need about N15,000. Then between N20,000 – N30,000 to be ‘just’ comfortable. For those that can manage, say, N10,000 – N15,000. There are lots of things that take up money. Things like food (for those who don’t intend eating from the camp kitchen), energy drinks, recharge cards, charging of electronic devices, laundry, pleasures e.t.c.
32. ATM Card: You ‘normally’ wont be allowed to leave camp. So do not be stranded, trust me it’s not a good idea. Just budget N1,000 per day. You should take your ATM card along, incase. (This might sound counter-intuitive since there might not be any ATM in your camp and you are not allowed to leave camp. But figure it out…) You can keep your extra cash with the Accounts Department (as the case was in my camp) while some shops offer POS services, you still have access to extra cash whenever you need it. If you have a camera you can take it along because you will want to snap a lot of scenes. If you have a Smartphone with great camera, that’s good for you because you can easily take and share photos on social networks instantly.
Tip: If you don’t have any of those, you will have to pay some guys on camp who do that as business to follow you around and snap you wherever you go. They might charge up to N2,000 for the duration of the camping. They should give you all your photos and videos in DVDs at the end of Camping. Or you could wait till the last day of leaving camp and snap at a cheaper rate. That’s all you need to take to camp!. Waaaait. Where are you going? Now, dont be selfish. You have to share this with your friends, dont you? Click the share buttons below. |
NYSC / Re: How Much Did You Make During Your Nysc Service Year? by Amyleb(f): 12:46pm On Feb 17, 2016 |
hardychris: The question should be how much I spent during my service year as a corps member.
I still don't know how possible it is to save money in Abuja as a corper unless you have something else doing outside the service, then I was getting almost 40k in a month from my PPA and NYSC Alawi, and I wasn't paying for house rent because I have one here but @ the end of the month nothing to show for it because everything goes to cab drivers pocket, I spend #600 everyday on transportation, and unlike other states, that #600 will be enough for more than one week and people do give corpers money or even pay for their Tfare but its not like that in Abuja.
If you are really after saving money after your service year, don't even think of coming to Abuja unless your house is a stone throw to the office, even @ that, there. Too many other things that will take the money because of cost of living.
But the advantage of serving in Abuja is that you can work in any organisation and get more experience if its related to your field of study, unlike other states where its mainly teaching.
NYSC is fun but the fun ends in camp, I wish you prsopective corpers success, the main thing is getting a good job after serving.
Meanwhile, NYSC is still owing me for 2 months since how many years now that I finished serving. Thanks 1 Like |
