Crude Oil found in Lagos

Nigeria’s commercial capital, LAGOS, is on the verge of joining the country’s oil-producing states with the discovery of crude oil in commercial quantities in the coastal state. Yesterday, Afren Plc and its partner, Lekoil Limited, announced significant oil discovery offshore Dahomey Basin in Lagos, according to the London Stock Exchange. In separate announcements, the partners said they discovered a significant light oil accumulation based on the results of drilling and wire line logs from a high impact Ogo-1 well, located on the Oil Prospecting Licence, OPL 310 offshore Nigeria. Afren is optimistic that the discovery is likely to be significantly higher than the anticipated 78 million barrels of oil equivalent (mmboe), which encourages search to further high potential zones. The discovery is subject to the authentication of the Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR), which is expected in two weeks. If certified and the partners produce the first barrel of oil, Lagos will become the 11th oil producing state in Nigeria, a club Anambra State joined recently. It will also boost the economy of Lagos, which currently generates about N29 billion internally every month. However, speaking with Vanguard on phone, the DPR said authentication of the discovery could only come after side-tracking (ST) verifications. A top management source in the upstream unit of the regulatory agency, said: “As far as we are concerned, the discovery for now is very speculative. The side track will indicate whether the resource they have found is actually crude, and this verification takes about two weeks. Thereafter, the company will communicate the tracking result to us, after which we will certify the discovery.”

Secrets of Spongebob Squarepants

Seven Deadly Sins
 Everybody loves SpongeBob Squarepants, but did you know that all the main characters in Spongebob Squarepants are based off of one of the deadly sins? Check it out:
Lust - Spongebob
Sloth - Patrick
Pride - Sandy
Wrath - Squidward
Gluttony - Gary
Greed - Mr. Krabs
Envy - Plankton




Squidward the Six-Legged Octopus

Squidward Tentacles is not actually a squid. The creator of the show claims that he is actually an octopus, but they only gave him six legs instead of eight because it looked better.



Celebrity Guest Stars

 David Hasselhoff had a major role in "The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie" where he saved SpongeBob and Patrick when they came to the surface. While the Hoff made the only human cameo, celebs have done voices on the show. Pink, Gene Simmons, Johnny Depp, David Bowie, Will Ferrell, Tina Fey, Whoopi Goldberg, and Robin Williams have all been characters on SpongeBob!




SpongeBob's Age

The SpongeBob Squarepants Movie showed that Spongebob had 374 consecutive Employee of the Month awards, which means he worked at the Krusty Krab for at least 31 years. However, his driver's license reads that his birthday is July 14, 1986, which only puts him in his 20s.




"My Leg"

The makers of SpongeBob managed to cram an inside joke into a number of different episodes. Fred the fish appears in a few episodes, but you'll always hear him yell "my leg" when something bad happens.




Smarty Pants Stephen Hillenbur

Stephen Hillenburg was originally studying marine biology before creating SpongeBob Squarepants. His passion for cartoons and animation started when he created his own comic book called "The Intertidal Zone," which starred a character named Bob the Sponge.

Any credit with God?

Memory Verse Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice; Psalm 20:3 Read: Acts 9:36-42 Act 9:36 Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of good works and almsdeeds which she did. Act 9:37 And it came to pass in those days, that she was sick, and died: whom when they had washed, they laid her in an upper chamber. Act 9:38 And forasmuch as Lydda was nigh to Joppa, and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent unto him two men, desiring him that he would not delay to come to them. Act 9:39 Then Peter arose and went with them. When he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him weeping, and shewing the coats and garments which Dorcas made, while she was with them. Act 9:40 But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed; and turning him to the body said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up. Act 9:41 And he gave her his hand, and lifted her up, and when he had called the saints and widows, presented her alive. Act 9:42 And it was known throughout all Joppa; and many believed in the Lord. Message “And she went up, and laid him on the bed of the man of God, and shut the door upon him, and went out.” 2 Kings 4:21. When the son of the rich Shunammite woman died in 2 Kings 4:18-26, she laid him on the bed that she had provided for the man of God. It was another way of telling God: 'Lord, I have some deposits in my heavenly account: it is time to make a withdrawal'. She did not request for the child in the first place; it came as interest on her investment. Do you have a deposit with God which you can draw from in times of crisis? It is wisdom to have such a deposit because at very crucial moments in the life of the depositor, your investment will speak for you. At such times, you may not be the one to speak for yourself. Psalm 20:1-3 says God will remember your offering in the day of trouble. This refers to regular offerings. But do you have a solid deposit with God? Dorcas did. In Acts 9:36-42, when she died, everybody protested – Not Dorcas! When some people die, people would say may their soul rest in peace, but when some others die, people will lead a protest march to God, saying there must have been some kind of mistake. Check it; such people whose cases are protested most likely had deposits with God. As people protested Dorcas' death, they sent for Peter and began to show him reasons she cannot just go now. So the Lord was forced to ask her to return to earth to continue her good work. If you die today, how many people will miss you? To test this, travel for one month and see how many people will ask you where you have been. If on your return people just say good morning to you, then it likely that when you die, you may go unnoticed to such people. While on board a ship in one of his trips, there was a terrible storm that put the lives of all that were onboard in danger for over two weeks. In the midst of this, an angel visited Paul and God said to him that because of his credit with God, both his life and the lives of those with him would be saved (Acts 27:13-24). Do you have credit with God? Key point From today, begin to build your Heavenly credit for future benefits.
