BLOGGER'S DIARY: THE DIFFERENT CONCEPTS ON HEAVEN & HELL

Heaven or Hell? Both doors are open& the choice is yours.

In recent times, I've been forced to question the purpose of humanity after seeing the acts meted out on fellow humans by others with such wanton disregard for feelings and human compassion .

In Nigeria today, we are so accustomed to religious killings,Boko Haram massacres, ritual murders, family and spouse murders that we have adjusted our lives to accept it as a way of life .

 What went wrong? When did it our world become hell? Is hell really worse than this? Is there really hell somewhere?Are some living in hell and others in heaven? SO, being inquisitive I decided to do some fact findings about the concept of heaven and hell which I must say is exhaustive ....(Please,this is not an attempt to discredit any religion and we should not attack any religion but state our own beliefs..Religion is a very sensitive issue)

 Mourinho is a Portuguese. He worked in his country Portugal where he won many titles and was very successful at Porto. He soon left Porto for Chelsea after receiving death threats.

1925 was a pretty big year. It saw the birth of John DeLorean, Paul Newman, Johnny Carson, and Dick Van Dyke. F. Scott Fitzgerald published The Great Gatsby in 1925, and Adolf Hitler published Mein Kampf.

And in Australia, Ford Motor Company began building Model Ts for eager drivers. 

Today, Ford announced that its long history of Australian production was coming to an end. In a press release, the company cited "increasingly challenging market conditions – including market fragmentation and the high cost of manufacturing" in its decision to shutter operations in the country.

That's borne out by Ford's balance sheets: even with taxpayer support totaling $1.1 billion (AUD) over the past 12 years, the automaker's Australian division has lost some $600 million (AUD) since the global economic downturn that began in 2008.

Ford has two manufacturing facilities in Australia: Broadmeadows and Geelong, both of which will close in October 2016. Broadmeadows employs around 650 workers, Geelong, 510.
