Congratulations to the distinguished Officer. May the skies be kind to you. We're proud of you, Sir.

Janosky:
Pls Let me ask you few questions:

*1.
How many threads have you opened on this forum to bash the religious group you exit from?

Zero.

*2.
When you quit a close relationship for almost a decade & your former partner spends every opportunity to bash you, defame your name and character with vindictive, abusive language, do you accept that you were the guilty partner,at fault for the break up?

My former partner's reaction has no bearing on the facts that led to the end of the relationship. If I am guilty, her forgiveness or vindictiveness does not change historic facts. I strive to maintain integrity by acknowledging my faults when and where it is warranted.

3.
Taking *1 &*2 into cognizance , do you agree that any mature, emotionally stable person would see a semblance between you (Demon slayer) & Courz?


DS,Make you respond & talk true ooOOOO!!!

A mature and emotionally stable person would carefully assess the similarities between the two personalities and their motivations before drawing any conclusions. In the absence of sufficient information, they would avoid making hasty judgments based solely on the answers to just two questions.

Russia & Iran fail again. Israel destroyed a large % of Iran supports for Syria😎. That is the middle-east for you. You think you've finished one war, another war dey around the corner. Hezbollah joining the Gaza war played right into the hands of the rebel big time. And Russia fighting Ukraine left her ally Assad exposed with little help. The same Russia some mumu Africa countries think has the capacity to support them🤣

The idea is to project strength when you're actually weak—classic Art of War principle. If nobody calls your bluff, you're fine. Shey Wagner Group is still cashing out in these African countries? Their eye go soon clear.

Russia is very foolish.
They are using Ukraine to tie those fools down.
Russia supported Hazbollah, Iran, Syria, etc. Where are they today?

If you see the shege their houseboys in Mali and Burkina Faso are seeing ehn.

Russia is so useless and impotent.

The funny thing is that all the muscle flexing 💪🏾 was to win them some international
influence and credibility so other nations will take them seriously. Seems their strategy has backfired.

A very glorious one. God keep us alive 🙏

Amen 🙏🏾

Nigerians don't have this united revolution mentality,they are divided along ethnic and religious lines.
The Nigerian people themselves do hate one another,once a set of tribe and zone have their people in power u see them look the other way,they don't have that collective unity to thing and reason and take Nigeria first,they are more loyal to their tribal and then religious lines.
In addition it's only the national cake that those in power benefits from that make them speak with one voice as if they have the national interest of the country at heart,once it doesn't favor them u then see them singing the tribal song

Brother, I understand your point and agree with you about the detrimental impact of bigotry on nation-building. However, for the sake of accuracy, it’s important to clarify that the conflict in Syria involves multiple factions, each with distinct ideological foundations and, in some cases, ethnic divides. For instance, the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), which some view as more of a terrorist and a secessionist group than a true democratic movement, is one such faction. In total, there are at least four major groups involved in the conflict, each backed by different foreign powers with different interests, further complicating any notion of a united resistance.

After half a decade of the Al-Assad family's rule over Syria, the President just got ousted by the rebels, Reuters reports within the hour.

Point of correction, Oga OP. It's not "half a decade of the Al-Assad family's rule over Syria" it's half a century, 53 freaking years!

The al-Assad family has ruled Syria since 1970, starting with Hafez al-Assad, followed by his son Bashar al-Assad in 2000, totaling over 53 years.

So after all the gra-gra, Bashar still fall yakata? Russia and Iran don do ‘bros, e don do, we no dey again.’ Na wetin dey happen when your hype men no get strength to hold mic again! 😆😆

Trump back as POTUS while the world’s on fire. Ukraine now has the green light to fire into Russia—talk about turning the heat up on Putin. Meanwhile, Israel is juggling Iran and their proxy, Hezbollah. With all this, 2025 might just bring a world so chaotic that even Trump’s Twitter comebacks (or Truth Social zingers) won’t keep up. 2025 is going to be wild!

At the bolded, JWs are tired of Preaching. They tasted Freedom during COVID and they realised they have been suffering all this while. So, after COVID, preaching reduced then they stopped .Some prefer to preach online or through Phone. Times are hard. Their Leaders have been begging them to go out and preach. Did they hear them? NO. They pretended they didn't hear anything and continued with their life.

In summary, JWs are Tired. No one listens to them. Time are hard and a lot of them are struggling. That's why you don't see them around anymore. It is the same thing I noticed in my area. They are nowhere in sight. LOL.

the way you put it cracked me up 🤣
Covid has really changed the world, I didn't realize it has changed the Church too.

Some days I just want to vent. Other days, I really just want someone who understands to hear me out without tagging me an apostate.

As a JW, over time, I've questioned some of the denomination's doctrines. E.g abstinence from blood transfusion even in life threatening situations, 144,000, marrying only in the denomination...etc.

It's sad that when I genuinely seek to find answers about why certain things are the way they are in the denomination, I end up getting bashed.

Sometimes, I wish my heart just never started questioning things. Maybe I'll still be wallowing in my naivety and agreeing to every single thing the denomination tells us to do. But no matter how hard I try to just ignore what I feel, I still have questions. Lots of 'em.

So, my only option? Bottle up how I feel even it deeply hurts and pretend everything is fine. Yet, every day. Every blessed day, I feel like I'm fading away.

Was just wondering if there are other Nigerian PIMOs in here?

You can always drop your comments. Maybe vent it out as well and let's all connect.

My sister, I've never been a JW, but I understand your pain. Although our situations differ, I've had a similar journey out of faith, and I know how sad and draining it is to hide your authentic self and the questions that come with it. It’s exhausting to act a part in a community whose beliefs and values your heart is struggling to accept. I remember the turmoil—wishing my mind didn’t ask so many questions or pick things apart. People often act as if one just wakes up one morning with dead faith, but they don’t see the struggle to keep it alive, trying to address the questions that challenge it.

I’ve left (though not from JW), so I guess I’m a POMO and have become the black—or lost—sheep. I know my life would have been much easier if I’d stayed with the herd, but I’m more fulfilled living authentically, and I’m at peace.

I don’t wish for your journey to have the same destination as mine, but wherever it leads, don’t panic—you’ll be alright. And remember, you’re not strange for having doubts. Doubts are a sign of a healthy mind, capable of critical thinking. They’re something to be celebrated, not shamed. If you decide to step away, you’re not alone; there are millions of us like you, many of us doubling and tripling the freedom and joy in our hearts. If you decide to stay, it helps to find people you can share with authentically—like you’re already doing with this post—people who have gone through a similar phase and endured. Faith can be a powerful thing when it’s true, mature, and measured. Still, it’s okay to be the black sheep.

I wish you the best on your journey, and I hope wherever it leads is magnitudes better than where you started.

By the way, I was just wondering the other day—I haven’t seen any JW door-to-door evangelism or stands on the wayside in years! What happened? I kinda miss you guys.

I'm not a Christian and have my qualms with organized religion but I have to say this is a commendable initiative. I see a Church serving its community at the point of their need. Kudos RCCG! Hopefully more churches, mosques, temples and shrines are inspired to join in significant and practical community work.

You people keep saying that the Nigerian military should step in to save the country. But honestly, we suffer from a serious case of national amnesia in this country—wallahi! If the military is so competent, why didn’t they save Nigeria during the 29 years they were in power? Let’s not forget the impunity, human rights violations, sectional coups and counter coups, corruption, mismanagement and embezzlement that characterized many of those years.

We've been there before, we've done that, severally, how come we never learn? I won't judge you for being too young to remember IBB, with his charm and sweet mouth. He played the military Messiah card well, sold Nigerians false hopes and dribbled the entire country like Maradona, earning him the notorious title of Evil Genius. Our core economic problems were
exacerbated in that era with his structural adjustment policy (SAP). We've never really recovered since then.

The truth is, the Nigerian elites—whether military, political, traditional, religious or otherwise—are all cut from the same cloth. It doesn’t matter what uniform they wear, the titles they hold, or the roles they play in daily life; their actions often reflect the same self-serving interests. They're the scammers, the masses are their mugu. Until we address systemic issues and demand accountability across all sectors, expecting salvation from any one group is just wishful thinking.

We also suffer from a chronic case of "the grass is greener on the other side." Just because a young military officer seizes political power doesn’t mean he has done or will do better than the civilian leaders we criticize. Have we paused to ask the everyday people of Burkina Faso how they truly feel after all the euphoria of "change" has settled?

Did they tell us that the jihadists—the threat that supposedly justified his coup—have been defeated in the two years he’s been in power? Have they said they are happier, safer, or more prosperous now? Or are they grappling with the same, if not worse, challenges?

But no, as Nigerians, we’ll just see a charismatic young man in military fatigues and instantly assume he’s the Messiah. This is dangerous romanticism.

Leadership, whether military or civilian, requires more than rhetoric or appearances. Without competence, accountability, and a genuine commitment to the people, power—regardless of who holds it—will only serve the same elite interests.

All things black and wonderful, the Lord made them too.

We thank God for your life my sister. We pray blessings and prosperity over you, your family and your endeavors. Your sojourn in a foreign land will yield the bounty that you've sacrificed a lot for. We celebrate with you. Ise.

That said, emancipate yourself from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our minds. There's nothing special about oyinbo or snow.

These people are not Nigerians. Are those Nigerian names? These seem to be people from the Caribbeans and a forced effort by OP to link us with something horrible. You have failed, gack to sender on this one! These are not Nigerians and, on behalf of all Nigerians everywhere, I demand an unequivocal apology from OP for this malicious mischaracterization.

Looking forward to when we'll start locking up Nigerian politicians for using religion and tribe as political tools. Oh wait. They're not breaking any law, just playing the game how it has always been played.

Probably her son from the look of it, and she's trying to teach him radical generosity because how else did she know his dad bought him a shoe from the UK last two weeks? And you can also see some resemblance in their faces.

How many people can comfortably pay rents in the city center running into millions yearly ?

Get in touch with reality.

You don't even have to be at the center to pay rent in millions.

As someone who has lived in Abuja for the past six years and absolutely loves the city, this video feels like a paid propaganda piece.

Addressing the video, the man literally drove down two or three streets in his footage and showed a couple of government offices, a hotel and a club. It’s reminiscent of when you visit a new city and try to get from point A to B and an okada or taxi takes you the long way around to charge more, only to later find out it’s a walking distance apart.

I understand how one can become so accustomed to their surroundings that they stop noticing the finer details and the grand beauty of a place. I also recognize that hype, by its nature, tends to exaggerate. However, certain points need to be clarified:

1. Abuja isn’t 10–20 years old. Abuja became Nigeria's capital on December 12, 1991, but its development began in the 1970s after its designation in 1976. This makes it 33 years old as the capital and about 48 years old since development began.

2. The National Mosque isn’t the most popular landmark in Abuja. More people know "Berger" than central mosque, because it is more central than the mosque actually is.

3. Not every part of Abuja is developed—there are still underdeveloped areas and trenches within and around the city. And more people who live and work in Abuja live in these places than the relatively few bougies in Maitama and Asokoro.

4. Abuja people beat traffic EVERYDAY, it all depends on which ones. There are traffic lights you'll feel like you have 3 heads on your neck if you obey because no one else does.


All said, Abuja is indeed a beautiful city; clean and serene, and a joy to live in (if you can afford to without stress).
