Nationhood, is Nigeria the will of God?
The word Nation was first
mentioned in Genesis 10:5. The word Nation or Nations is the English translation
of a Hebrew word “goyim”; a word believed to be derived from gowy which means “body”
of person and by extension the corporate body of a people.
I am not a history student, but
have researched about what nation is all about and how Nigeria became a nation;
so as a preacher of the gospel it pleases me to bring my people to the light of
what nationhood actually entails. I will try to make this message short,
because I noticed that my people are no longer interested in reading messages when
the content is lengthy; though bad but we can get along with it for now. From
the scripture and the Hebrew word from whence came the word Nation, we can
understand that a Nation is a body, a family, and a people and their lands. Therefore,
when we talk about a people, a family and or a body, we are talking about
people with similar culture, similar religion, similar understanding and
belief. If you agree with me, then we are on the right track and on the same
moving train.
We were told that Nigeria was
created by Lord Lugard Fredrick and was name after river Niger which was
suggested by Flora Shore who was believed to be her girlfriend or mistress. Though,
I have found more about the creation of Nigeria which its root is evil because
Kings were slaughtered and beheaded, this they never told us, but the truth
about it is that Nigeria emerged from a Britain company called Royal Niger
Company which Lugard was one of the people in charge of its affairs. If we believe
that a nation is created by God via the people and their lands, families and or
corporate body; then is it right for a man to create Nigeria which indirectly
means Lugard is the god of Nigeria, is the question all of us should ask ourselves.
For more about the creation of Nigeria read stories about Lugard & Royal
Niger Company at www.ipob.org
When we talk about the will of God
for a nation, we should understand that those who will be keen to do Gods will is
only the nations He created, so Nigeria been the creation of Lugard is not
blessed by God, Psalms 33:12 and can never do will of God. Recently, a pastor
of Yoruba extraction by name Bosun Emmanuel who was a member of the recently concluded
national jamboree called National Confab, exposed some truth about Nigeria evil
root via www.churcharise.blogspot.com/2014/08/islamazation-agenda-for-nigeria-bosun.html?m=1
and www.radiobiafra.co/gallery/videos/pastor-bosun-emmanuel-exposed-the-truth-about-nigeria-evil-islamic-plans-for-nigeria-and-africa.
Nigeria been an Islamic nation will never know peace, freedom and righteousness
because her root is evil, violence, cursed and bloody; thus, its descendant is that
of Ismail as recorded in Genesis 16:11-12.
In Nigeria, we all claim to be
serving God but I can assure you that God cannot be mocked because He knows
those who are His true children. Nigeria is a nation that is synonymous to
lies, corruption, killing, stealing, backwardness, sycophancy, and hypocrisy
and so on. Nigeria is the only nation were people prays from morning to night
and nothing appears to be happening because things are getting worst day-by-day;
and the reason may be that the prayers are made by liars, hypocrites,
fornicators, adulterers and corrupt people. Nigeria is the only nation that
those who speaks the truth does not progress but liars, looters, corrupt government
officials and the likes are praised and given awards. Nigeria is the only
nation that produces Engineers, Doctors, Scientist, Technologies, but their government
officials goes to abroad for cars, medical attention, genuine drugs, almost
every good quality consumables and refining of her local produce. Nigeria is the
only nation were few people are recognized, few people are above the law, few
people are entitled to security, some people with religious affiliation are not
recognized, some group of people are killed, enslaved, forced to accept a particular
religion or be beheaded and the government of Nigeria and world powers says
nothing. If this Nigeria is the type of nation that those who called themselves
the children of God are yarning for then something is wrong somewhere and they
need to have a rethink before the evil Nigeria consumes them.
In Psalms 33:12, Isaiah 60:12 and Proverbs
14:34, we will find some injunctions that contain what nations created by God
should do. Knowing fully well that Nigeria as nation after 100 years cannot
achieve this will of God, then we should return to how God made us before 1809 when
Royal Niger Company and Lugard came and put asunder to the people (nations) God
created. Therefore it is only when the evil Nigeria nation collapses and new
nations original created by God emerges that Genesis 12:2 will fulfilled and the
people of God will prosper and serve God without fear and groaning. He who has
ears let him hear, Mark 4:9. God bless you as read this message, and put it
into action. Please like this page https://www.facebook.com/godiwus; for more

iPhone 6 around the corner and will be powerful
Apple is gearing up for a big product announcement on September 9, and all indications are that it will be a new iPhone. The iPhone 6, as it’s being called in the press, will deliver a lot of changes over the iPhone 5s, which got relatively modest updates compared to the iPhone 5. It’s also one of the most important device launches Apple has ever had, given how long it’s been since the company unveiled a new marquee product.
As is generally the case, at this point we have a pretty good idea of what’s coming thanks to the rumor mill, which has been in high gear over the past month or so. Whispers suggest we’ll see a larger screen, with a 4.7-inch model launching first and a 5.5-inch model also being unveiled at the same time, but possibly shipping a bit later or in constrained supply.
The large screen and its value to Apple shouldn’t be underestimated. Samsung delivered a commercial recently that attempted to lambaste Apple for having waited so long to deliver a larger display, but in fact it pointed out only that there is now a strong appetite for a larger face on Apple’s smartphone, not that people were eager to jump ship to another device manufacturer in order to get that feature.
But the screen size isn’t the whole story – Apple is also expected to use a new material that offers a lot more durability to protect its display. This will likely be some kind of sapphire composite, and based on leaked videos of durability tests, it should be much better able to withstand both shattering and scratching. This would give Apple a considerable advantage over the rest of the market, which finally mostly uses Gorilla Glass, the material it pioneered with its original iPhone but which it now looks ready to leap beyond.
Apple’s work on both these things, display size and display durability, speak to some of the most sought-after requests of both existing and would-be iPhone buyers. The company will also likely improve the cameras on its devices, and might finally add NFC into the mix, opening the door for a lot more potential when it comes to mobile payments.
Cupertino will deliver all the things that normally encourage their loyal customers and many new ones to jump on board, including improved processor power and performance, but if they can also deliver on some of the fever dreams of iPhone watchers, we’ll see a launch that exceeds any that came before it. The iPhone is currently exhibiting a late-cycle strength that it rarely has before, and anyone who thinks that “just” putting a bigger screen on its flagship device won’t do much to improve its fortunes hasn’t been paying attention – plus, Apple being Apple, they’ll do a lot more besides.

Freedom comes by knowing the truth
How can you
be free when you don’t know the truth? My heart bleeds because nowadays #preachers
(Priest, Pastors, Men of gods, Evangelist, Ministers etc.) are only interested
in raising millionaires and structures instead of raising Disciples or Apostles
or Christians as the case may be. To be able to achieve their desires, these
preachers don’t teach the #truth anymore and this is the only reason why people
only worship God now because of prosperity, riches, success, protection from
imaginary enemies, and not for the kingdom of #God.
John 8:31-32
tells us that only those who abide by the word of God are His disciples and only
those who are disciples will know the truth and that only those who knows the
truth will they be free. The word of God is summarised in what Jesus Christ
said in Mathew 22:36-40; I encourage to read the verses which contains the most
important instruction (love of God and fellow man) for anyone who is desirous
to be free or make heaven.
If you or
knows anyone who has seen God, please the person shouldn’t hesitate to inform
me. When you are asked to love God, you are indirectly asked to do whatever God
asked you to do to your fellow man. When you are asked to love man you are
asked to do to that man as you would love to do to yourself or as God is doing
for you.
The only truth that will set you free and make
you true disciple of God is contained in Mathew 25:31-46, because on the last
day you will give the account of life base on what the verses contains.
Therefore, I encourage you to abide in the word of God which says love God and your
neighbour and that is the only thing you are required to do. Stop taking money
to churches or ministries in name of loving God, when your neighbour is dying; by
so doing you are not doing the will of God. Stop going to that person who

FAITH IS THE KEY TO TRUE SUCCESS!
… without faith
it is impossible to please God, for he who come to Him must believe that He is
and that He a rewarder of those who seek Him; Hebrew 11:6.
A faithful
servant of God is one who accepts and handover every circumstance that comes to
him/her willing, having tried to overcome it but to no avail. A faithful
servant of God understands that there are days of trouble, Psalm 50:15; so when
that day comes he looks upon God for help and not man, men of god, churches,
ministries, miracle workers, etc. A faithful servant of God understands that
the successful person in life is one who seeks only the kingdom of God in all
endeavour and not the person who is wealthy or the person whose bank account is
so fat; because in a bid to be wealthy or rich the person losses sight of what God
wants or created him to do or achieve before his death; Mathew 6:33. A faithful
servant of God is someone who do not compromise despite his condition; who do
not cheat others; who is hard-working and always believing God for blessings
from his handwork and not someone who kept faffing around hoping to reap where
he didn’t sow; who do not depend on others or delve into sycophancy, hypocrisy,
praise-singing, shameless or dishonest acts just to get money, and all sorts of
evil acts just to make a living; a faithful servant of God is one who lives
without fear of the unknown or what tomorrow have in stock for him. A faithful servant
of God is one who trust Him and asks Him on daily basis to direct him in all
his endeavours, Proverbs 3:5-6.
We should
always ask ourselves if we are faithful to God as His children, we have all
gone astray in one way or the other, trying to find solutions to our challenges
where none exist and the result has always been living a faithless life. Suffering
is part of life, not the suffering afflicted to us because of our cowardice or
inability to speak the truth so that we are not denied daily bread or stand
against those making us to suffer, but the suffering that is beyond human understand,
1 Peter 12-19. Therefore, I encourage you to be faithful no matter what comes
your way, and believe in the saving power of God Almighty and not that of church,
men of god, ministries, miracle centres, prayer houses, politicians, voodoo
powers and so on; remember Mathew 6:25-34 which assures us that God is capable
of providing all that we need to live or survive if we can only trust in Him,
live a holy live to enable Him find us worthy to fulfil His promises to us and
remain faithful to Him at all times which is the only key to complete and total
success. He who has ears let him hear, Mark 4:9. God bless you. Please like

Unlocking of smartphones, Legal! This sounds weird!
Unlocking your smart phone to run on a different carrier, without your carrier’s permission. It seems completely innocuous, right? Something you’d do with a spare bit of time on your weekend just to see if you could.
Surprise! It’s illegal. And we’re not talking jay-walking-when-no-one-is-looking illegal, either —thanks to some crazy ass interpretations of the DMCA, it’s a quote-unquote crime punishable by up to 5 years in jail.
Thankfully, that’s changing. The legality of unlocking has flip-flopped many a time over the past 15 years, but it’s likely about to go back to being legal.
A few weeks ago, the Senate passed the “Unlocking Consumer Choice and Wireless Competition” act that moved to make unlocking legal again. This morning, Congress unanimously approved it.
Now the only thing left is for the President to put his stamp of approval on it — and given that the administration has publicly supported the act, that’ll hopefully happen pretty quickly.
The history of unlocking so far:
- In 1998, Congress passed the Digital Millenium Copyright Act. Section 1201 states that “No person shall circumvent a technological measure that effectively controls access to a work protected under this title”, meant to make it illegal to circumvent anti-piracy mechanisms. In other words, they didn’t want you hacking up a VCR to be able to copy your VHS copy of Titanic.
- Cell phone manufacturers, carriers, and carrier lobbyist groups took this to include their wares, as well — and for the next few years, used it to send out DMCA notices to shut down sites and services that helped people unlock their phones.
- In 2006, the U.S Copyright office said “wait, wait, wait — that’s not how it’s supposed to work” and granted an exemption that made unlocking officially okay. Alas, these exemptions are re-reviewed every three years, and…
- At the end of 2012, the exemption was allowed to expire, and unlocking was illegal again
Once this bill is signed, it’ll once again go back to being legal… for now. Congress is scheduled to re-evaluate the bill every 3 years, so it could flip right back to illegal before too long.
Microsoft’s Surface Pro To join the Tablet Market
Microsoft has a new Surface tablet/PC hybrid, and it’s a departure from their first- and second-generation versions of the Surface line, with an all-new design and a bigger, better display. The device is basically the perfect partner for Windows 8 and the Modern Windows UI, but your appreciation of this device (or lack thereof) will depend heavily on what you want to do with your computer. We looked at it back when it launched, but how does it stand up to extended use?
Basics
- 12-inch, 2160×1440 display
- 9 hours battery
- Intel Core i5 Processor
- 128GB flash storage
- 5.0 megapixel front/rear camera
- 1.76 lbs, 11.5″ x 7.93″ x 0.36″
- MSRP (as reviewed): $799
- Product info page
Pros
- Portability relative to power
- Great industrial design
Cons
- “Lapability” still not great
- Price (especially factoring in accessories)
Design
Microsoft has consistently done at least one thing right with the Surface line of devices, regardless of whatever else people think about the machines – they deliver great examples of modern industrial design, from the magnesium alloy used in the case construction to the engineering feats required to fit a full computer’s internals inside the slim devices. The Surface Pro 3 continues this tradition of great design, with a new lighter look that works well, a slimmer case, and a bigger, more usable 3:2 ratio display that captures a user’s full attention when it’s active.
The new kickstand on the Surface Pro 3 is also a big improvement, and even though I admittedly poked fun at a built-in kickstand on the original Surface, it has indeed proven useful in every generation of the machine. This time, the full range of motion is available instead of just a few select lock positions, and that’s a big advantage for using this thing around the house, and for digital art, which is one of my primary use cases in a Surface.
There are still some quirks in the design – despite losing weight, it’s still heavy if your expectations are set based on coming from an iPad, and the screen size, despite offering a better movie watching and graphics work experience, means that using it handheld is a little bit more awkward than before. Overall, though, it’s definitely an improvement on previous generations when it comes to design.
Features
Microsoft has learned from its past releases and created features for the Surface Pro 3 that greatly benefit the overall experience. The kickstand mentioned above offers a big advantage in terms of how usable the Surface Pro 3 is in various situations, including while used on your lap. The new click shortcuts for the pen are also great, including using a long press to automatically open OneNote and begin a new blank document, even when the computer is asleep with the screen turned off.
They may not be new, but some existing features of Windows 8 also come in handy, and shine especially bright on the Surface Pro 3. Chief among these is the ability to run apps side-by-side in a windowed mode that splits the screen among them. This makes multitasking while keeping an eye on Twitter easy, and the additional screen real estate afforded by the new Surface Pro 3 display makes using the feature feel a lot less cramped.
Based on my usage of the device, it’s hard to understate the value of the new OneNote auto-launch functionality using the pen. The Surface Pro is basically the perfect digital handwritten notetaking tablet, and this really ups its value in that regard. But the pen also loses some tricks in the switch from Wacom to N-Trig as a provider, including automatic flip-to-erase functionality in drawing programs, and that’s less than ideal.
Performance
The big value proposition behind the Surface Pro 3 has always been its ability to run full-powered Windows applications despite having a portable, tablet-style form factor. The Surface Pro 3 isn’t a huge advancement in terms of performance over the Surface Pro 2 in this regard, but it does push the needle a bit. During some activities, however, including unlocking the device and rotating the screen, I actually felt that the Surface Pro 3 was a bit more prone to lag and delays than the Surface Pro 2.
Once active, apps and games performed well, and despite having read elsewhere that drawing responsiveness was less than stellar compared to the Surface Pro 2, I found in my use that it was still more than acceptable when working with the new, Surface Pro 3 high-density display optimized version of Photoshop CC, and with Autodesk’s Sketchbook Pro. The new digitizer doesn’t have anywhere near the levels of sensitivity of the one provided by Wacom on the Surface Pro 2, but for light digital painting, photo editing and cartooning (my uses), it works well enough that many probably won’t notice a difference.
Screen
The display on the Surface Pro 3 is one of its standout features – the high density resolution makes it great for watching movies or Netflix, and for using the Windows Modern UI. The classic desktop will be harder to navigate for those with old eyes or vision problems, because it renders individual elements so small, and that’s true of apps not built for HiDPI screens, too.
Overall, though, Microsoft has really outdone themselves with this screen, and that’s just another part of what makes this machine so useful for those working in digital artistic fields.
Battery
Battery life on the Surface Pro 3 is rated at 9 hours of web browsing usage, and it definitely feels more long-lasting than the one found in the Surface Pro 2. If you’re coming from a notebook you’ll be pleasantly surprised, but for video streaming and intense graphic application usage, you’ll likely find it doesn’t reach near that nine-hour mark. Again, this is a situation where your origin point will determine your reaction: coming from a tablet could make battery feel inadequate, but transitioning from the PC world, you’ll be pleasantly surprised.
Bottom Line
Microsoft is touting the Surface Pro 3 as a device that eliminates the consumer question of “tablet, laptop or both?” and to some extent, it can do that. But answering that question with the Surface Pro 3 means making other concessions, too – despite the marketing push, it’s not a perfect ‘have your cake and eat it, too’ scenario. Windows 8 is not everyone’s cup of tea, for instance, despite improvements made with Windows 8.1. And the software library for Modern Windows is still such that you may not be able to find everything you’re looking for.
The fact is that despite its merits, the Surface Pro 3 is still a niche device – but for a couple of very different niches. It could work great for someone looking for a single computer solution that’s closer to an iPad but with a larger display and a little more range in terms of approximating a desktop; and it could be great for a digital artist looking for something to use away from their home setup. It’s a solid machine and an example of well-executed hardware engineering, but at $799 plus the cost of a $130 Type Cover, it might still have a few too many quirks and peculiarities for the average user. For those who fit the profile, however, there’s nothing else quite like it.
