Religion

We live in a very big country, Nigeria. Our country occupies a large land space and there are millions of people in it. The people have different views, beliefs and ways of life. As a result, their religious beliefs are also different. Some people in the country believe in one God, his son Jesus Christ and in the Holy Ghost,these people are called the Christians. They read the Holy Bible and worship God in the church.
    Some other people believe in one God called Allah, and in His prophet called Mohammed. They read the Holy Quran and worship Allah in the mosque. They are called Muslims.
     There is yet a third group in the country. Members of this group believe in gods and goddesses and in an Almighty God. They believe in the African traditional religion. Since all of us in the three groups have to live together in the same country, we should not condemn the religion of other people, rather we should respect each other's religious beliefs. There are many other reasons why we should tolerate other people's religious beliefs.
   Most of us believe in one God. We depend on one another as human beings for our needs and services at home, in the school and in the community. All religious preach obedience to God's law, the laws of land, the rules and regulations of the community.

Natural soil

 Natural soils are influenced by rainfall and temperature,heavy rain causes the soil to become leached. High temperatures increase the rate of decomposition of organic matter in the soil, thereby lowering its humus content. Thus, climatic conditions tend to produce poor soils in the tropics and rich soils in the temperate regions. Besides climate and vegetation, the parent rock material also contributes to the quality of the soil. For example volcanic rocks tend to produce fertile soils.    Laterite, a red soil which is a product of leaching, is commonly found in the tropics. It is composed mainly of iron and aluminium compounds,and poor in humus and essential plant nutrients, such as phosphorus, nitrogen and potassium. The black and brown soil of the temperate grasslands are the world's richest soils, with a high mineral and humus content. The light coloured desert soils tend to be very rich in minerals but have a low humus content.    Mainly the soils ar...

READING AND UNDERSTANDING

All reading is geared to understanding. There would be no point in reading if we did not understand what we are reading. However there are many different obstacles in the way of easy understanding of a passage. It is your task as a reader to actively seek to break down the barriers to understanding.    One block to understanding is caused by references in the passage to things that are outside it. Pronoun are the first examples of words that refer to people and objects. Sometimes, it is easy to follow the reference at other times, it is more difficult. Look at the opening sentence of the passage you've just read that begins this way  "She was waiting for us:small, dowdy, dirty..."  Who was waiting? Who was the person waiting for? (Perhaps you would also like to know why she was waiting.)Answers to these questions will surely help you to understand and thus follow the reference. The first thing to do is to ask questions like the ones we have just asked and to read t...

Frequent masturbation

Frequent masturbation in young men is linked to higher risk of early prostate cancer , but it lowers prostate cancer risk for men in their 50s, a study shows. High levels of male sex hormones, or androgens, may increase a man's risk of prostate cancer . But different studies of this question, done in different ways, have reached different conclusions. To look at the question in a new way, a team of researchers  looked at whether men with more intense sex drives were at higher risk of prostate cancer.  About half the men got prostate cancer by age 60, and about half did not have cancer . The findings were surprising. Sexual intercourse did not affect prostate cancer risk. But frequent masturbation did -- in different ways, at different times of life. "Frequent masturbation during men's 20s and 30s increased their risk of prostate cancer. For men in their 20s, "frequent masturbation" was two to seven times per week. Compared to same-age men who reported mas...
