Properties / Town Planning Put This On My Yet To Complete Building-i Need Advice Please by excellentj4teal(m): 11:41am On Mar 01, 2020 |
I have a land which I just developed to the lintle level and waiting for God's blessing so as to roof and compete the building. I got to my site yesterday to see what my bricklayer did as I have not gotten the chance to check since they finished the work. Surprisingly, I saw Crossed red mark telling me to stop work and a paper attached to the wall. At first, I got annoyed as I don't think I've contravened any section or law since the land was properly purchased and I followed my plan (groundwork) except that I didn't build the attachment(2bedrm flat) as contained in the plan. Kindly advice me to know steps to take donas not to shoot myself on the leg. Thanks

Foreign Affairs / President Donald J Trump Full Speech After The Iranian Attack On US Base In Iraq by excellentj4teal(m): 8:41pm On Jan 08, 2020 |
Remarks by President Donald Trump on Iran, released by the White House: As long as I am President of the United States, Iran will never be allowed to have a nuclear weapon. Good morning. I'm pleased to inform you: The American people should be extremely grateful and happy no Americans were harmed in last night’s attack by the Iranian regime. We suffered no casualties, all of our soldiers are safe, and only minimal damage was sustained at our military bases. Our great American forces are prepared for anything. Iran appears to be standing down, which is a good thing for all parties concerned and a very good thing for the world. No American or Iraqi lives were lost because of the precautions taken, the dispersal of forces, and an early warning system that worked very well. I salute the incredible skill and courage of America’s men and women in uniform. For far too long -- all the way back to 1979, to be exact -- nations have tolerated Iran’s destructive and destabilizing behavior in the Middle East and beyond. Those days are over. Iran has been the leading sponsor of terrorism, and their pursuit of nuclear weapons threatens the civilized world. We will never let that happen. Last week, we took decisive action to stop a ruthless terrorist from threatening American lives. At my direction, the United States military eliminated the world’s top terrorist, Qasem Soleimani. As the head of the Quds Force, Soleimani was personally responsible for some of the absolutely worst atrocities. He trained terrorist armies, including Hezbollah, launching terrorist strikes against civilian targets. He fueled bloody civil wars all across the region. He viciously wounded and murdered thousands of U.S. troops, including the planting of roadside bombs that maim and dismember their victims. Soleimani directed the recent attacks on U.S. personnel in Iraq that badly wounded four service members and killed one American, and he orchestrated the violent assault on the U.S. embassy in Baghdad. In recent days, he was planning new attacks on American targets, but we stopped him. Soleimani’s hands were drenched in both American and Iranian blood. He should have been terminated long ago. By removing Soleimani, we have sent a powerful message to terrorists: If you value your own life, you will not threaten the lives of our people. As we continue to evaluate options in response to Iranian aggression, the United States will immediately impose additional punishing economic sanctions on the Iranian regime. These powerful sanctions will remain until Iran changes its behavior. In recent months alone, Iran has seized ships in international waters, fired an unprovoked strike on Saudi Arabia, and shot down two U.S. drones. Iran’s hostilities substantially increased after the foolish Iran nuclear deal was signed in 2013, and they were given $150 billion, not to mention $1.8 billion in cash. Instead of saying "thank you" to the United States, they chanted "death to America." In fact, they chanted "death to America" the day the agreement was signed. Then, Iran went on a terror spree, funded by the money from the deal, and created hell in Yemen, Syria, Lebanon, Afghanistan, and Iraq. The missiles fired last night at us and our allies were paid for with the funds made available by the last administration. The regime also greatly tightened the reins on their own country, even recently killing 1,500 people at the many protests that are taking place all throughout Iran. The very defective JCPOA expires shortly anyway, and gives Iran a clear and quick path to nuclear breakout. Iran must abandon its nuclear ambitions and end its support for terrorism. The time has come for the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Russia, and China to recognize this reality. They must now break away from the remnants of the Iran deal -– or JCPOA –- and we must all work together toward making a deal with Iran that makes the world a safer and more peaceful place. We must also make a deal that allows Iran to thrive and prosper, and take advantage of its enormous untapped potential. Iran can be a great country. Peace and stability cannot prevail in the Middle East as long as Iran continues to foment violence, unrest, hatred, and war. The civilized world must send a clear and unified message to the Iranian regime: Your campaign of terror, murder, mayhem will not be tolerated any longer. It will not be allowed to go forward. Today, I am going to ask NATO to become much more involved in the Middle East process. Over the last three years, under my leadership, our economy is stronger than ever before and America has achieved energy independence. These historic accompliments [accomplishments] changed our strategic priorities. These are accomplishments that nobody thought were possible. And options in the Middle East became available. We are now the number-one producer of oil and natural gas anywhere in the world. We are independent, and we do not need Middle East oil. The American military has been completely rebuilt under my administration, at a cost of $2.5 trillion. U.S. Armed Forces are stronger than ever before. Our missiles are big, powerful, accurate, lethal, and fast. Under construction are many hypersonic missiles. The fact that we have this great military and equipment, however, does not mean we have to use it. We do not want to use it. American strength, both military and economic, is the best deterrent. Three months ago, after destroying 100 percent of ISIS and its territorial caliphate, we killed the savage leader of ISIS, al-Baghdadi, who was responsible for so much death, including the mass beheadings of Christians, Muslims, and all who stood in his way. He was a monster. Al-Baghdadi was trying again to rebuild the ISIS caliphate, and failed. Tens of thousands of ISIS fighters have been killed or captured during my administration. ISIS is a natural enemy of Iran. The destruction of ISIS is good for Iran, and we should work together on this and other shared priorities. Finally, to the people and leaders of Iran: We want you to have a future and a great future -- one that you deserve, one of prosperity at home, and harmony with the nations of the world. The United States is ready to embrace peace with all who seek it. I want to thank you, and God bless America. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you. 2 Likes |

Religion / Open Letter To Pastor Olukoya. by excellentj4teal(m): 5:35am On Jan 02, 2020 |
BY FadaFranklin Mmor. RE:" CHRISTMAS IS A PAGAN FESTIVAL." (TO ALL CHRISTIANS ). Dear Dr.Olukoya, Below are the facts,i penned down to refute your claims on the above subject matter to save the face of the church on the controversy of your submission. INTRODUCTION: Christmas,is not a pagan festival,but a replacement of pagan festival based on the wisdom and discretion of early church fathers to stem the ugly tide of paganism which was eating the fabric of God's church at that time. DEFINITION OF TERMS: The name 'Christmas'comes from the mass of Christ (or Jesus).A Mass service(which is called Eucharist or Communion)is where Christians remember that Christ died for us and then came back to life.A fellowship of thanksgiving celebrated in the Eucharist. Christmas,is a thanksgiving to God for the gift of his son to the world.The word which became flesh,the word which existed from timeless prehistory,the word which became God and dwelt among us to reconcile man and God...John.1:1-18. THE FIRST CELEBRANTS OF CHRISTMAS! The Gospel according to St Luke.Chapter.2:8-20,recorded the joy that took place in heaven at the news of the birth of Christ. 1.In verse 13,of Luke 2.The host of Angels celebrated Christ by singing "Glory to God in the highest and peace to his people on earth.... 2.The Shepherds,who were watching their flocks by night,were also informed by the angels and they visited to witness the glory of God in Christ and rejoiced greatly. 3.Mary the mother of Jesus,treasured the whole events in her heart as the shepherds went into town to tell the world of the birth of a great king. 4.The wise men led by the star,visited,bowed,worshipped and presented gifts of Gold,Frankincense and Myrrh. Matthew...2.11-12. In essence,these set of persons including the Angels,celebrated and worshipped Christ at birth which is 'Christmas.' THE CHURCH BEFORE EMPEROR CONSTATAINE: The church before Emperor Constantine,suffered a terrible blow.Christians were hounded,persecuted and killed anywhere on sight. Christianity was unlawful and illegal religion in the whole empire.Persecution occurred over two centuries. Under Emperor Nero 64 AD,persecutions were carried out by local and state authorities on a sporadic ad hoc basis. It became worst around 250 AD,as a result of the edict of Emperor Decius.The edict was in force for 18months.Many Christians were killed while others apostatised to escape persecution. Christian Religion,which we all enjoy today,preach and do whatever we like in the guise of being believers received a breath of fresh air under Emperor Constantine who declared Christianity a lawful and permitted religion. In AD 313,Emperor Constantine in the edict of Milan,declared Christianity a lawful religion which later became the official religion of Roman Empire ten years later. PAGAN FESTIVAL REPLACED WITH CHRISTMAS: Sol invictus,the birthday of the unconquerable sun was celebrated on the 25th of December. Saturnalia followed the Roman god of agriculture. On this very celebration,people exchange gifts,free sex,free speech,free day,gender bending sex,laws suspended for brief stretch of time,free drinking and drunkenness etc. Christians participated in this immoral celebration and it affected adversely the strength.of the Christian church. THE DECISION OF THE EARLY CHURCH FATHERS ON CHRISTMAS: The effect of this pagan festival was a heavy blow on the church.The church fathers directed by divine wisdom,decided that since this celebration is all about the "Sun god"that it will be necessary if the Son of God will be celebrated to draw souls to Christ who already drifted away from the faith. They drew their inspiration from Psalm.24..1"The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it,the world and all who live in it." The church,decided that this day be set aside for thanksgiving on the incarnate mystery of God's son who was sent to the world to redeem mankind. It was named 'Christmas.'The Mass of Christ. A day of worship and thanksgiving for the birth of Christ. It will interest you to know, that the church succeeded in this decision.Today,Christians all over the world,including world government and other religions recognised and joined in the joy of this season. No one, ever remembered that, there was anything like pagan festival in Rome ever in history. It became a day of joy instead of day of lawlessness,drink and sex.People go to their various communities and churches to worship God on this special day. In Christmas,Christians celebrate God's gift of redemption and reconciliation and not birthday. CHRISTMAS IS NOT IN THE BIBLE: Dr.Olukoya argued,that Christmas is not in the bible and that Christ did not ask us to celebrate his birthday........Yes! From the points above,you will see the origin and why the church set aside this day and date. You will also see. that the church succeeded in truncating the plans of the devil by getting back,those who were lost in immorality and orgies associated with such pagan festivals. IS EVERYTHING IN THE BIBLE John .21:25.. "And there were so many other things which Jesus did,the which,if they should be written everyone,i suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written."Amen! CONCLUSION: Christian leaders,should guide and guard their utterances inorder not mislead the public.This is a responsible and respectful response to Dr.Olukoya on his submission about Christmas which has generated serious controversy to the Christian church. If you decide not to celebrate Christmas because it is not in the bible,you should as well not celebrate New Year and yourown birthday. Is it there anything wrong for the church leaders over the centuries guided by divine wisdom and Holy Spirit to celebrate Christ?Should Satan be celebrated? There are patterns of prayer which is against the injunctions of Christ boldly adopted by your church.Is it also in the bible?? Christmas is here with us bequeathed to us by early fathers of faith and which defeated the purpose of Satan. Would you also, like Herod fight against his birth and like the Jews campaign against his resurrection? Christ is the Mass in 'Christmas.'He is the all in all and like the Angels and the Shepherds we join the world in saying and singing.... "Glory to God in the highest and.peace to his people on earth." I,urge all the Christians not to be in anyway discouraged but to come out in the yearly remembrance of our Saviour,Jesus Christ our Lord!

The best way to overcome is to face your fear. What is your fear? Facing crowd and talk to them. Always look for avenue to talk to group or a large crowd. 1. Join your church workforce. Be a Sunday school teacher if you are a Christian. 2. When talking to people or a group, don't bother about your grammatical blunders but focus on the purpose of the presentation. 3. People must look at you when presenting to them and don't feel embarrassed but impressed that they are listening.. I was like you but I helped myself out of it. 6 Likes |
