Well done stimulus well researched,

Militia and the silent1, how did the question of education on what a christain is and the really good answers / debates you have contributed to become an arm wrestle,

children, there is such a thing as agreeing to disagree for the sake of unity of spirit, this way we are able to do great exploits as a people

wishing you the best,

Christain in my view is someone whose spirit is sensitive to the the Holy Spirit, lives or is fed by Christ's (bible) teaching, is in reverence of our Father and loves their neighbour unequivocally, hope this helps spike1464

Someone has another thread on politics about is satan black same discussion so here was my reply!!

I don't think it really matters what satan was or what Jesus was. What really matters is what are you. Black, Brown or just African (.i.e. no colour),

good is always depicted as white and bad as black, I am not black, I am african, but you can call you and I black, thats your judgement, because the when the world shut their eyes and see no light (they see blackness) and they become afraid? whao!!!

We'll have to agree to disagree, you think the visa system should be made difficult, see if I want to go to the states tomorrow, I'll just buy a ticket, I have a sis who is on here own there and from time to time it helps for her to be around family, it also boosts her productivity in the states.

If I was trying to do the same journey from Nigeria, I'll be so frustrated, my sister may never see family in years and this may indeed affect here productivity.

There is travel happening all over the world, where people go to places to trade, to visit and to holiday, no qualms, why ca a Nigerian not come to Holiday in the UK without people thinking he is not going back, I maintain (and somewhat agree with a bit of your arguement) if the process was easier and yes if Niger was the best place to live, people would come to the West and then return, the solution though is not to keep us from moving to places by puting restrictions on visa applications and giving resons for refusal that are baseless and amount to prejudice.

@davidlyan you wrote, "The visa process is more difficult because that is the only control foreign countries have over potential immigrants. Most of those who apply for visas are not planning to return,"if you have loads of money to burn and hide in the west this rule does not apply, so you see it's not about immigration it's about these countries choosing what they want i.e our doctors and nurses, our rogue politicians and the masses who want to carve a future are restrianed!

you are on the right track,
but if they make the visa application easy, many people will come here and then go back to their country.

It's because you make something hard people cherish it more and want to stay!

So to benefit our government, if they fought to get the process made easier, I wonder if the barage of successful illegals would then trip back to Nigeria and take with them all their money and the Nigerian government / country becomes better off and the Queen then gets less?

Does anyone out there know what the UK visa rejection rate is?

My cousin has just being refused and I was wondering if the rate is high enough for our new government to do something about it, sometimes the reasons for refusal amounts to prejudice and malice, and infact thing it's a warfare tool!

The more people get refused the more people want it, the more money in the UK coffers, the more we who apply have less

On the spiritual side, the more they can keep us apart the less we are able to achieve in the west, e.g. getting anyone from home to support you domestically is so hard and if they can succeed in making it impossible, then the likelihood of you being able to have the time needed keep earning "may" be affected etc

What do you guys think our government should be doing about making this easier (I'm talking holidays not illegals)

The Inaguration of President and Vice president appeared positive, promising and potentiating. That was the message beamed across from Nigeria courtesy of BEN

Did any one who saw it or who are closer to the situation hear or see any other version of events,

Also I had never heard of the VP which is re-assuring as I have always said we need new blood!

hope this is all for the best

Oceanic bank public offers have ended haven't they, are there any other wise ideas about which banks to invest in apart from / or in addition to First Bank?

Biby,

don't know if you are in the UK, but in the UK there will be a smoking ban in public places from July and if you reside here then I'll advice that you start socialising more with your man because he'll now be more so in the company of non-smokers than smokers.

Also try to agree some basic rules, such as no smoking in the house etc, if this works and you have the charm to keep him at home then it starts to work.

It's a balance thing, the more the influences that stimulate smoking can be removed the more he likely to indulge. It's however very difficult as the effects of smoking are long term and every Niger man feels they are invincible! We are sort of sha

So ladies, Which would you prefer, a man that smokes and drinks but has a shower and freshen up before he's to come and see you and when he gets violent he blames it on work pressures, you know no better because you do not know he drinks,

, or a man that smokes drinks, is kind / trustworthy tells you he smokes and drinks with friends / controlled and never violent because he is responsible, never smokes in the presence of none smokers or at home but only when out with friends recreationally, but yes he drinks good champagne and smokes good cigars,

layi, if you ever wish to start Makydees in niaja, if the idea is still a goer, let me know and I'll be a willing partner
