ow11:If my question is rubbish all you have to do is to ignore it and move on man!!!Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.I do not consider what you said as an insult but rather a compliment to be called an agnostic. You always admire what you really don't understand, |

@ OW11 I don't know very much, but what I do know, I know better than you and I don't want to argue about it, A mind is not a bed to be made and re-made. When a man's knowledge is not in order, the more of it he has the greater will be his confusion. My dear Half of being smart is knowing what you're dumb at. your just confused and dumb. |

| Religion / Re: Is Jehova Jesus Christ? by stamma(m): 5:21pm On Jun 15, 2009 |
Jesus is called Jehovah. In Isaiah 6:5, when Isaiah saw his vision of heaven, with the Lord high and lifted up, he said, "Woe is me, for I am ruined! Because I am a man of unclean lips, And I live among a people of unclean lips; For my eyes have seen the King, the Lord [Jehovah] of hosts." Yet the apostle John, referring to this same incident, writes that Isaiah saw Christ's glory, "and he spoke of Him" (Jn. 12:41). In Isaiah 6:5, when Isaiah saw his vision of heaven, with the Lord high and lifted up, he said, "Woe is me, for I am ruined! Because I am a man of unclean lips, And I live among a people of unclean lips; For my eyes have seen the King, the Lord [Jehovah] of hosts." Yet the apostle John, referring to this same incident, writes that Isaiah saw Christ's glory, "and he spoke of Him" (Jn. 12:41). |

| Romance / Re: Pls Advice Me On Wat To Do: by stamma(m): 3:04pm On Jun 15, 2009 |
@ kestro , It's contextual for me. I've had two women slap me for offensive things that I said and honestly it was just funny. We all laughed afterwards. I think of that kind of thing as more slapstick than violence. That being said, resorting to violence is something that humans (not just men and women) should not do (unless in defense). I also had a girlfriend punch me so hard she bruised my ribs. I didn't hit her back but I did unceremoniously dump her. you shouldn't hv hit her she is only a woman. |

ow11: my dear The dumbest people I know are those who know it all. Whosoever wishes to know about the world must learn about it in its particular details. Knowledge is not intelligence. In searching for the truth be ready for the unexpected. Change alone is unchanging. The same road goes both up and down. The beginning of a circle is also its end. Not I, but the world says it: all is one. And yet everything comes in season. |

| Education / Education Programs Should Include The Distribution Of Condoms In School. by stamma(m): 9:01pm On Jun 14, 2009 |
Providing condoms to students is a wise investment of government funds. A fortune is spent by world governments each year addressing the public health problems created by risky sexual behaviour. The cost of raising the many children created through unintended pregnancies over a lifetime can be astronomical. The cost of treating a patient with HIV can be enormous. |

ow11: you don't get the question, do you? Quartz is a Rock-Forming Minerals (Rock Crystal) Diamond What is the hardest rock if the diamond is not included? It is an igneous rock, classified under kimberlite. Kimberlite is a type of potassic volcanic rock best known for sometimes containing diamonds. It is named after the town of Kimberley in South Africa, where the discovery of an 83.5 carats (16.7 g) diamond in 1871 spawned a diamond rush, eventually creating the Big Hole. Granite is the signature rock of the continents. |

1 An insurance salesman was trying to persuade a housewife to buy a life insurance policy. "Just imagine if your husband was to die tomorrow," he said. "What would you get?" "Oh, a Labrador dog, I think," replied the housewife. "They're so well-behaved. 2 Husband: "Your birthday is coming up, so I'd like some idea of what you'd like for your birthday." Wife: "I want a divorce!" Pause. Husband: "I'm really sorry, but I hadn't planned to spend that much." 3A drunken man at a party went up to a strange woman and embraced her clumsily. She slapped his face. 'I'm so sorry,' he said, 'I thought you were my wife.' 'Huh,' said the woman, 'You'd be a fine husband to have. Just look at you - a drunken, clumsy, disgusting brute.' 'Good heavens,' said the drunk, 'you talk like her, too.' |

@ifyalways It was during the reign of Eze Nrijiofor I 1300-1390AD, the fifth Eze Nri in the line of succession. One day during his reign, four strangers came to visit him at his palace. When they arrived, these four wise men or ‘magi’ pretended to be deaf and dumb. They did not say their names or their mission to Nri. Each of them carried ‘nkata’-basket known as “Abuokpa”. They were taken to the visitors’ room by the king’s servant-‘Adama’. Later in the evening, the Eze went to see them, but they did not greet the Eze and did not acknowledge his greetings. ‘Oji’-kolanut was presented to them but they did not say anything. Later at night, they were shown where to sleep. In the middle of the night, the Eze’s soothsayers sent a rat to disturb them. When the rat went to the first basket that belonged to ‘eke’ and started to nibble at it, ‘oye’ woke up and said “‘eke’ wake up”. When he answered him; ‘oye’ told ‘eke’ that a rat was trying to get to his basket. Eke woke up and the rat ran away. After a while, the rat repeated the same trick on the remaining baskets, and in the same manner, all of them revealed each other’s names. In the morning, the Eze went to the strangers’ room to greet them and to perform the ‘oji ututu’-morning kola nut rituals. The Adama broke the kola nuts and the king called each of the visitors by their names-‘eke’ ‘oye’ ‘afo’ and ‘nkwo’. The visitors which were referred to as ‘o bialu ije ekwu okwu’-visitors that do not talk, were astonished when they heard their names being mentioned by the Eze. They asked for water to wash their hands and faces; and took the kola nuts that were presented to them. After chewing the kola nuts, they gave the King ite ano-four earthen pots and directed him to keep the pots in front of the Nri Menri shrine outside the ‘obu’-palace, with each pots facing the sun. ‘Eke’ who was their spokesman, told the Eze that the first pot was owned by him, ‘eke’, the second one by ‘oye’ the third by ‘afor’ and the last by ‘nkwo’. He told the Eze that the four pots were sent down from ‘Chukwu’-God Almighty. He instructed the Eze that he and his people whom he ruled should be observing those names daily as market days, during which they should be buying and selling. These market days are used in Igboland to count the native weeks-‘izu’, months-‘onwa; and year-‘aro’. Therefore, Eke, Oye, Afor and Nkwo (four market days) make one ‘izu’-week. He also instructed him that the first name that should be given to their male children should commence with ‘eke’, then ‘oye’, ‘afo’ and ‘nkwo’. That is why we have igbo names as Okeke or Nweke, Okoye or Nwoye, Okafor or Nwafor, and Okonkwo or Nwankwo. In the same order, female children should be given “Mgbeke", "Mgboye", "Mgbafor" and "Mgbankwo". The message was preached throughout Igbo land by spiritual priests of Nri and they set up market squares in Igbo land. The four strangers later told the Eze that they were messengers from God. Some foods were prepared for them but they did not eat them. In the noon, these magi of Igbo land disappeared from the Eze Nri palace like angels. The news spread throughout Igbo land and far west and north where it was observed to this day. Edo, Ogoja, Igala-Onoja, and Calabar peoples observe these market days in their lands, though they gave it different names to suit their dialects. 3 Likes 1 Share |
