pongwa:
let's not confuse ourselves please. I added 'God the' to Son and Holy Spirit/Ghost to emphasize the relationship. However, I have gotten a Wikipedia link to buttress my point too
https://simple.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trinity
"In the Christian religion, the Trinity is an idea used to explain that three different persons are called God: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit (who is sometimes called the Holy Ghost). Trinity states that these three all form the same God."

Okay, in simple English, your translation and picture attached says
The Father is God.
The Son is God.
The Holy Spirit is God.
The Father is neither the Son nor Holy Spirit.
The Son is neither the Father nor Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit is neither the Father nor the Son.

By logic, we can conclude that we have three personalities who are God, therefore, there is 3 Gods.

The Bible’s answer
The celebration of Easter is not based on the Bible. If you look into its history, though, you will see the true meaning of Easter—it is a tradition based on ancient fertility rites.
.
Consider the following.
.
1. Name:
The Encyclopædia Britannica says: “The English name Easter is of uncertain origin; the Anglo-Saxon priest Venerable Bede in the 8th century derived it from the Anglo-Saxon spring goddess Eostre.” Others link it to Astarte, the Phoenician fertility goddess who had the Babylonian counterpart Ishtar.
.
2. Hares, rabbits:
These are symbols of fertility “handed down from the ancient ceremonial and symbolism of European and Middle Eastern pagan spring festivals.”​—Encyclopædia Britannica.
.
3. Eggs:
According to Funk & Wagnalls Standard Dictionary of Folklore, Mythology and Legend, the hunt for Easter eggs, supposedly brought by the Easter rabbit, “is not mere child’s play, but the vestige of a fertility rite.” Some cultures believed that the decorated Easter egg “could magically bring happiness, prosperity, health, and protection.”—Traditional Festivals.
.
4. New Easter outfit:
“It was considered discourteous and therefore bad luck to greet the Scandinavian goddess of Spring, or Eastre, in anything but fresh garb.”—The Giant Book of Superstitions.
.
5. Sunrise services:
These have been linked to rites of ancient sun worshippers “performed at the vernal equinox welcoming the sun and its great power to bring new life to all growing things.”—Celebrations—The Complete Book of American Holidays. The American Book of Days well describes the origin of Easter: “
.
Conclusion: There is no doubt that the Church in its early days adopted the old pagan customs and gave a Christian meaning to them.” The Bible warns against worshipping God by following traditions or customs that displease him. ( Mark 7:6- Second Corinthians 6:17 states: “‘Separate yourselves,’ says Jehovah, ‘and quit touching the unclean thing.’” Easter is a pagan holiday that those who want to please God will avoid.

Can I asked a question here, assume I am a pagan. I do go to night party every Friday night and spent my Saturday with opposite sex in hotels. You came, preach to me and I changed, will it be good for me to
1. instead of going to Friday party stay at home and pray?
2. instead of staying with opposite sex in hotel throughout Saturday to study my bible?

What is bad in occupying myself with spiritual activities in the same time I always use in doing bad things before I was saved?

pongwa:
it's clear you do not understand the concept of Trinity. Nonetheless, you kept reiterating the fact that God is one which I quite agree with. Now think of Trinity as an egg. You will agree with me that the egg has three 'distinct' parts comprising
1) egg yolk,
2) egg white and
3) egg shell.
The point to note is that although the parts are distinct and can exist in isolation, in reality, what makes it an egg is because of the three parts occuring together. Now see the egg shell, egg yolk and egg white as God the Father, God the son and God the Holy Spirit.
Q.E.D

In trinity, there is nothing like God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. There is only one God, and that is God the Father.

In Trinity, we have
God the Father (The Almighty Jehovah)
the Son (The Christ Emmanuel, meaning God is with us)
and the Holy Spirit (The Comforter)

I will have love the analogy of Government, because Trinity is about the Kingdom (governance) of God. For our type of government, there is Executive, Legislative and Judiciary, they are the Trinity of earthly government, without the three there is nothing like government, expect "they" believe by God's nature, He ran an authoritarian or unitary government. Without the working of The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, the work of salvation cannot be completed.

Trinity in is simplest form as it relates to Christianity is "the unity of the 3 main identities that rules God's Kingdom for Salvation of humanity."

Firstorderwizard:
The law clearly states that the 52bn is appropriated for NDE.
I think NDE should be more involved under the supervision of the Ministry.
The NDE director general is supposed to be involved in the actual recruitment process while the Ministry supervises.

That was actually the reality on ground. Ministry of Labour is supervising the recruitment process making sure NDE set a fair level playing field for all prospective applicants who are majorly uneducated and highly illiterate. The current process/guideline was agreed upon by the Management of NDE and Keyamo as the representative of the supervising Ministry. NDE is the one carrying out the recruitment process, will be the one to issue contract letters and pay salaries, hence, the cost was inputed into their budget. Ministry of Labour is exercising his constitutional roles through Keyamo but the National Assembly are not happy that by the standard of current approved recruitment process, they cannot influence the employment in their constituencies/senatorial districts. They are actually looking for a way to manipulate the management of NDE to do "the normal normal".

authority2006:


Even Festus Keyamo is not totally blameless. The programme was designed to be handled by NDE, many people had ed through the link provided by the NDE for this 3-month job. Why is he trying to personalise it and mess everything up?

The recruitment is handled by NDE based on guidelines set and agreed upon by the NDE executives and Keyamo.

The problem was that the guideline sidelines the NASS putting power on local committees in each states. Keyamo stated that NDE was under his Ministry and he has been directed and given authority by the Executive (the President) through a letter from SGF to take up the process and be responsible/able for any wrong as the Assistant Supervising Minister. The latest resolution of the NASS accepted that all what Keyamo said was in order but he can not dictate or has say in how the recruitment process should go about because his position was unknown to the construction.

The NASS agreed that his ministry has supervisory role to make sure the recruitment is in order, they agreed that the process is solely the responsibility of the Executive but what they are yet to come in term with is that the Executive (President) through the Minister has the constitutional duty to assign/delegates any her istrative responsibilities to any qualified person. Even if Keyamo position as Minister of State (Assistant Minister) is unknown to the law, he has been delegated the power and authority from the Executive (President) through the Minister to take up the recruitment process.

NASS are there to check mate the Executive and not to dictate how they carry out their affairs.

FG should recognise only school that pays their teachers through bank s and pay the money directly to the teachers and not through the school s/proprietors.

But I thought the bailout would be in form of interest free/single-digit loan. In this case, no problem in getting as many schools as possible on board. This opportunity should be used to regularise all privately owned basic and senior secondary schools in Nigeria.

Godlovesyou28:



I hope to take care of something first; I guess, get stronger physically before going. Am so afraid (I really don't know why). Never been so scared and insecure all my life.

I am so hated in my family (I never thought it'll get to me this much).

I can't sleep anymore and sometimes I don't even to eat until after a day or two at times and don't feel notice until I feel too weak to get out of bed. I hate to go out too except its extremely important. I get very angry for no reason at my self and destroy or set my belongings ablaze. Am loosing touch of my business and my sales girls are looting me dry and I don't seem to care.

Why? Can't I fix anything anymore?

Hey, can you take a break?
Can you think of how you got your profile name?
Do really believe in your profile name?
If everything has failed including you failing yourself, did you believe that your profile name can fail?
All I can say for now is to cast that burden on Him, be at peace with yourself, continue to pray to Him, He will surely see to how you will get connected to your mother or know the fate that has befallen on her in shortest period of time.
Just believe, trust Him and be at Peace. He can do ALL things.

Not new. There is biblical records of such though the bible strongly go against such act, it is called witchcraft. King Saul consulted one to talk to immediate past High Priest of Israel by name Samuel.

Witchcraft and juju are real but some people are still doubting it calling it a magic.

Ń40 billion divided by 200 million is equal to N200.

That is still shikini moni. By the time Magu case is concluded, that is when we will know that Nigeria has been raped and Nigerians denied of our collective wealth.

i didn't miss your point. Those working as volunteers at the beginning were later engaged part time at an agreed pay and without a specified end to the contract in view of the scenarios across the globe. Not up to 1% remained as volunteers afterwards. The medics had to work part time because they had their places of primary assignments. Some nurses and lab technicians were employed directly and fully as covid-19 has not specified period of time it would end in view, stating it from a lay man's point of view.

It's wrong for the government to have sacked them when they knew the case was even increasing and instead, should recruit more. This is a lingering issue. Last month, they federal government wanted to hand over isooation centres to various states and we said nope. The sitistiom would rather become worse as the states would manage them poorly. Why is the fed govt shying away from their responsibilities in the first place with the billions donated from both within and outside the country? The government made a u-turn and dropped the idea of handing over to states after challenging them. In spite of the huge sum received, PPEs are still not enough and we have been asking questions what had happened to those funds but no answer was given.

oluwaseyi0:

They are full time staff with Lagos government but volunteer to be posted to Corona isolation centers

those isolation center are not in existence before and so do not have its own staff this ones volunteer to be the battle line front while there colleague stays back safely in the conventional hospital

The post was not detailed enough, thank you for this enlightenment. Please, may I asked a question?

Were the "sacked frontline health workers" sacked as a volunteer or as a civil servant or both?

If it was for volunteer only, I do not see anything wrong with it. The government may have received report on how the volunteering work affects the real hospital/clinic work these health workers were employed for. So the plan may be, I say may be, to relief them of the volunteering works and engage more health workers for pure volunteering work.

But if the situation is any of the last two options, then the government action is highly not acceptable and the umbrella body should not allow it to stand.

The way the ed this bill against outcries, hope their daughters, sisters, runs girls, family , etc have not been victims of the sexual harassment.

Because, I just they wonder why the bill to discriminate estimated billing and makes electricity becomes pay as you use becomes so difficult to .

Anyway, the age of the bill is help our female gender in Nigeria universities. It is a welcome development, thumb up for them.

fairfora:
the engagement isn't for a specified period of time...medics overworked themselves and ended up infecting their family . Is the curve flattened yet...? The case is ever-increasing and we are in for the worst now that cold weather has set in. Just do yourself a favour by adhering to the laid down precaitions, especially if you know you have vulnerable category of patients around you and you want to still keep seeing them smile. If you're feeling sick with unusual symptoms similar to covid-19's please do not wait for these useless people before you swing to action because they might never come. Many have died unnoticed in the various communities . We only hear of the notable ones because they're popular . Are tests not paid for by patients? Are they treating patients for free...Where's the covid-19 donated funds meant for health workers? Where are the PPEs? How much does it cost to get a test kit that has suddenly become gold ? So far, NCDC hasn't tested up to 200k Nigerians, out of over 200m population

They just can't help it, they'd have locked us down again and perpetually. The new daily cases are worrisome. Stay safe people

You missed my point. The disengaged frontline health workers are engaged as volunteers and not employed as a civil servant. We do not know what their of engagement was based on. It may have been for a specific period of time (possibly 3 months), if this is so, there is no need painting the government black and comparing their renumeration with employed health workers. The news was even saying they are not paying them accommodation and feeding allowance like their employed colleagues.

With the increased in number of cases, especially Lagos, we need more hands to take care of our people but do we know the numbers of engaged (employed and volunteers) health practitioners that the government currently have. Or those they are currently recruiting or is planning to recruit. For now, we do not know the statistics but on thing is sure, we need more frontline health workers and their disengagement (not sack) is in order according to their own confession that they are volunteers.

DelphiOracle:
at least they should be paid before disengaging them. That's d koko

Seems payment comes a month after, so hopefully they should be paid this month money next month.

According to one of them who is a medical doctor working at one of the state’s general hospitals, “everything about the coronavirus management and frontline workers’ welfare in Lagos State has been shrouded in secrecy”.

According to the source, till the time of his disengagement, no one was sure of the exact amount to be paid and when to be paid.

The doctor said; “For instance, the doctors who started the COVID-19 work at the IDH in Yaba as the pioneer responders received N675,000 each while the nurses received N480,000 each. But for us as the first set of volunteers who were drafted to open Onikan centre in April, our first pay came after six weeks and doctors received N574,000 while nurses received N380,000.

“The payment for April was made in May, and since then we have received no penny apart from accommodation and feeding. What we learnt was that the initial payment was simply to encourage other volunteers and the gimmick worked. Many of our colleagues who were initially reluctant to volunteer soon began to lobby to be posted to isolation centres when they heard of the money involved, and the fact that none of us reported dead.”

Sack volunteer workers? Are they employed in the first place? It is voluntary work for God sake for which a token may be paid and it is usually for a specified period of time or specified project/programme. The work ends at the end of the specified period of time or completion of the project/programme they are engaged for. Volunteers are always engaged for a period of time and according to this thread post/news, they are part of the first set of volunteers.

Are we sure the of engagement is not 3 months? The government is at liberty to renew the contract otherwise the contract becomes terminated at the expiration of the contract period.

Let them tell us the of engagement for their volunteering job. Their case is just like empower, they employ to empower you for 2 years now that they are disengaging them, they make the government looks like devil.

When North have the Chairman, there is brighter chances of South to get Presidential Ticket of the party comes 2023

Leaving governance at their various states to monitor elections and use tax payers money to accommodate themselves, their political agents/thugs and vote buying.

Waiting for the D-day.

The forged certificate, which was the basis of his ission for B.A. and disqualification from APC primary was not submitted.

Where is the Higher School Certificate (HSC) from an Institute of Continuing Education, Benin, he claimed he has and use for direct entry to University of Ibadan in the documents submitted to INEC?

Apart from the discrepancies noticed in the governor’s National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) Certificate, the APC screening committee had accused Obaseki of presenting a fake Higher School Certificate (HSC) from an Institute of Continuing Education, Benin .

He was also accused of forging his bachelor of arts (B.A.) certificate in classical studies from the University of Ibadan.

But the governor, who defected to the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) to emerge its candidate in the forthcoming poll, submitted same certificates to the electoral body, including his
1. West Africa Examination Council, (WAEC) result,
2. B.A certificate, with a
3. MBA in Finance and International Business being his highest qualification.

Modified:
Just got to see that he submitted his HSC to INEC, good luck to him.

I made a reply to correct the thread headline, the headline has been corrected, so, there is no need for this space.

Please if you are interested in this space, just quote your post and mention me. I will take the first relevant post to this thread.

Misleading headline.

Obaseki did not win the case. The case was abandoned by both the person who brought it to the court and Obaseki. The case was part of game plan to disqualify Obaseki to run for the 2020 Edo governorship election, he has been disqualified by APC and he has settled his way in PDP by paying all defined taxes. So both APC and PDP have no interest in the case.

According to Victor Giadom Twitter , below is his reaction to APC NEC decisions today.

My Take on the outcome of today’s APC NEC meeting: I had earlier said that the collective decision of the entire NEC will prevail in today’s meeting. I also promised to stand by any decision decided.

President Buhari, in his remarks recommend the immediate discontinuation of all pending litigations involving the party and its ; ratifying the primary election conducted in Edo State; Dissolving the current National Working Committee, and appointing caretaker/Extra-ordinary Convention Planning committee for the party.

President Buhari informed NEC that in order to return to the “winning ways’’, the APC must maintain cohesion by closing its ranks.The NEC meeting adopted all the recommendations by President Buhari, and appointed the Governor of Yobe State, Mallam Mai Buni, as Caretaker National Chairman, while Senator John Akpanudoede was designated Caretaker National Secretary.

Finally there is No Victor, No Vanquished. The Togetherness and cohesion Of Our Great Party Has Always Been Our Prayers.

https://twitter.com/VictorGiadomAPC/status/1276155248986464261?s=19

Seems almost all, if at all is not all, the Caretaker Transition Committee are Oshiomole/Tinubu camps.

Tinubu still got his say in APC

Wrong decision by PDP, if by court rulings Obaseki is disqualified what will happen.

APC was wise enough to allow other candidates partake in the primary even with the two adopting POI. They are advised not to step down but participate.

That is Oshiomole's camp celebrating their victory and victory at the extraordinary convention.

Nice one.

This is victory for Oshiomole's camp. As far as the new Caretaker is in his and all APC decisions from his camp has been upheld, Oshiomole's camp are still winning and will win at the national convention because they are in the majority.

Anyway, Buhari is wise to dissolved the NWC so that the two factions can be dissolve. Even if Oshiomole was not returned as Chairman at the extraordinary convention, he did not lose the war.

Anyway, from looks of things almost all the of the committee are from Oshiomole/Tinubu camp.

SmartyPants:


My brother did you go to school to study law? Obviously not. So please na beg I dey beg you, do not argue with me!

In law when you are found with enough evidence merely to indicate that you could commit a crime the burden of proving your innocence shifts to you. For example, you are found with a chisel and hammer which could be used for breaking into a home, that is enough for a police man to arrest and detain you, and the burden of proving that you had other legitimate uses for the tools is on you.

Now the next thing to consider will be the standard of proof. In a civil matter such as these, the standard will be the balance of probabilities. Which basically leaves it to the judge to determine who is likely lying.

And finally you should know that the lady has already committed a crime so if reported today, she can be charged with a number of offences or alternatively sued.

Even the mere act of threatening to release the images is already an offence.

I don hear you.

SmartyPants:


That's not how it works sir. g that undertaken means that if the pictures are leaked she actually becomes the one to prove she did not leak them.

So you will acuse her she leak it, she said she did not. And you believe with that she can be jail or taken by the law? No, it doesn't work that way except you want to hi illegal way.

Yes, it the pictures is released, she can only be a prime suspect. She can only be interrogated and investigated, she can only be prosecuted only if you find evidence against her during the investigation and interrogation. So, the task of evidence to nail her rest on you as she will be a defendant, to defend herself and proof that that the evidence you got is invalid.

SultanOfAbia:
This girl just fvcked up my paroles
I don't know how on Earth this girl can hack my insta,WhatsApp and telegram. Wtf??
She hacked into my Instagram last night and changed the .
She is threatening to release all my chats even my nudes with some girls in insta.

I have some clients that are following my Instagram page. My boss too
This owerri girl want to destroy me.
I'm thinking of reporting the insta page so they can block it.
But it will affect my business. What should I do??

Settle with her. How come you are bent in deceiving ladies and girls? She must have witnessed or had experience of guys like you and determined to be teaching guys like you a good lesson that you will never forget in your lifetime.

Let me tell, if she the type of girl I described above and smart, even if you involve the police to recover your s and made her to sign undertaking, those pictures of yours will find a way into the social media space. You will be left to prove that she was the one that release it, if you take this route bet me she will defend it and make you paid for false accusations because you would be able to trace the release to her. If she is intelligent enough to hack your s, she should be intelligent enough to protect/manipulate how it will get to Internet.

Do not be deceived that pictures of yours must have been back up to at least 2 different online storage.

Incompetence at it peak.

It took over 4 months to migrate and it is taking to close to another 4 months to resolve issues around the migration. This woman is actually not in charge of the humanitarian aspect of the ministry but specialises in the disaster aspect without the management part.

APC is smart.

If Obaseki says gathering not more than 20, no need to for approval, then, APC in their wisdom says we can manage our people for the primary such that we do not have more than 18 leaving 2 for margin of safety.

APC knowing fully well that Obaseki as a governor does not have to constitutional power to enact that law but still went ahead to comply with the law like "avoid the devil at all cost".

Unfortunately, Obaseki is crying that APC has not come for approval like if they seek for approval he will grant them.

Bill Gates said something similar some months ago.

To men. Someone can be a father but not a man. Some can be a (baby) boy but not a father. A man does not necessarily need to be a Father for him to be call a man. We even have so many female gender that are men.

So nobody observed the interim order still bears March (no 1)and the concluding paragraph stated that the order of this court made on March 16 is extended by 2 weeks.

Questions
1. Why is there no link?
2. Why is there no news media carrying the news.

This order was poorly edited.

bayo2018:
Good day nairalanders

Please I’ve an issue bothering me rn. I’m thinking of terminating my School though I’m in year 2(1st semester)

I noticed I’m able to make more than 300k a month online these covid season but if I’m in school I don’t make up to this amount because I don’t have enough time to stay online and do things I wanna do.

But I don’t wanna make a decision that’s gonna affect me forever so I’m seeking for your honest opinion.

Should I just terminate this school and focus more on my online Business.

What my online business just require of me is Data(like 50gb per month )and to always be online to run the stuff.

Why not switch your program to part time? Write your Student Affairs office that you wish to switch to part time as thing has changed and you need to hustle in order to meet up with your educational cost.
