Notice the differences

many people don't have the opportunity you had,a lot wants to be educated,but poverty restrained them,lots of parents wished they had money to train their kids in Nigerian universities,but your parents sent you abroad to study,and you dropped out of school and had a child out of wedlock,i hope your parents are not hypertensive,because when they hear this news it will shock them to their bone marrows.
Well, conquer your fear by facing your face.

Jehovah's witnesses don't assume or make predictions,they don't make prophetic statements,that article of Awake was just quoting a journal

NwaAmaikpe:



I love JWs for their strongwill and adamance to wrongly conform.
They understand that they only have Jehovah to please and not mere mortals who have been mostly led astray.

They are very grounded biblically and have no shame in preaching the gospel just like Christ instructed.

However what I find intriguingly confusing is the zeal in which their members struggle for Christmas gifts, Xmas Bonuses and souvenirs from events they do not endorse.

I also am aware of how easily their ladies easily spread their legs to be pummeled by the pendulums of unbelievers who they sought out to preach the gospel of redemption to.

Most importantly is the known notion of how terrible they are when they serve as landlords.

Our lives will be a lot better if only we practiced what we preach.
Better still, if we truly understood what we practice.

You need to understand that it's members are also imperfect humans who struggle to live a life that is pleasing to Almighty God.many of them also struggle to throw away their old personalities and put on the new personalities.

Why Don't Jehovah's Witnesses participate in New Year Celebrations?

The date and customs associated with New Year’s celebrations vary from one country to another. Regarding the origin of this celebration, The World Book Encyclopedia states: “The Roman ruler Julius Caesar established January 1 as New Year’s Day in 46 B.C. The Romans dedicated this day to Janus, the god of gates, doors, and beginnings. The month of January was named after Janus, who had two faces​—one looking forward and the other looking backward.” So New Year’s celebrations are founded on pagan traditions.

Do origins really matter? Yes! To illustrate: Suppose you saw a piece of candy lying in the gutter. Would you pick up that candy and eat it? Of course not! That candy is unclean. Like that candy, holidays may seem sweet, but they have been picked up from unclean places. To take a stand for true worship, we need to have a viewpoint like that of the prophet Isaiah, who told true worshippers: “Touch nothing unclean!”​—Isaiah 52:11.

What if you consider yourself to be a Christian​—would this affect your view of New Year’s celebrations? Well, can you imagine the apostle Peter’s going to a New Year’s party? Notice what he wrote in his first letter, 1 Peter chapter four, verse 3: “You spent quite long enough in the past living the sort of life that pagans live, behaving indecently, giving way to your passions, drinking all the time, having wild parties and drunken orgies and degrading yourselves by following false gods.”​—The Jerusalem Bible.

It should be noted that Christians are not governed by any sacred or religious calendar specifying certain holy days or festivals, a point that is clearly stated by the apostle Paul at Galatians 4:9-11 and Colossians 2:16, 17. The one event that they are required to observe annually, the Lord’s Evening Meal, at Passover time, is governed by the lunar calendar.​—Mt 26:2, 26-29; 1Co 11:23-26

The Bible’s View

The Bible admonishes Christians to “walk decently, not in revelries and drunken bouts.” (Romans 13:12-14; Galatians 5:19-21; 1 Peter 4:3) Since New Year’s festivities are often characterized by the very excesses that the Bible condemns, Christians do not participate in them. This does not mean that Christians are killjoys. On the contrary, they know that the Bible repeatedly tells worshipers of the true God to rejoice—and that for a number of reasons. (Deuteronomy 26:10, 11; Psalm 32:11; Proverbs 5:15-19; Ecclesiastes 3:22; 11:9) The Bible also acknowledges that food and drink often accompany rejoicing.—Psalm 104:15; Ecclesiastes 9:7a.

As we have seen, however, New Year’s celebrations are rooted in pagan customs. False worship is unclean and detestable in the eyes of Jehovah God, and Christians reject practices that have such origins. (Deuteronomy 18:9-12; Ezekiel 22:3, 4) The apostle Paul wrote: “What fellowship do righteousness and lawlessness have? Or what sharing does light have with darkness? Further, what harmony is there between Christ and Belial?” For good reason, Paul added: “Quit touching the unclean thing.”—2 Corinthians 6:14-17a.

Christians also realize that taking part in superstitious rituals does not guarantee happiness and prosperity—especially since participating in such festivities can result in God’s disfavor. (Ecclesiastes 9:11; Isaiah 65:11, 12) Furthermore, the Bible admonishes Christians to be moderate and self-controlled in their conduct. (1 Timothy 3:2, 11) Clearly, it would be improper for one who professes to follow Christ’s teachings to be part of a celebration that is characterized by riotous excess.

As eye-catching and appealing to the senses as New Year’s festivities may be, the Bible tells us to “quit touching the unclean thing” and to “cleanse ourselves of every defilement of flesh and spirit.” To those who comply, Jehovah extends the heartwarming guarantee: “I will take you in. . . . I shall be a father to you, and you will be sons and daughters to me.” (2 Corinthians 6:17b–7:1) Indeed, he promises eternal blessings and prosperity to those who are loyal to him.—Psalm 37:18, 28; Revelation 21:3, 4, 7.

LegendHer0:
The USA goofed on this pronouncement and it just give credence to the fact that they are losing their influence on the world as the main embodiment of truth.

How do they reach the conclusion on categorizing all Muslims as being intolerant of the Christians? Do they mean the southern Muslims that have been coexisting peacefully with our Christian brothers are intolerant also?

Ain’t it ridiculous that countries like Saudi Arabia where there ain’t freedom of expression of religion and where people are killed in the savagely way due to the outdated shariah law are not termed intolerant? Why Nigeria this time!

On the issue of the Fulani terrorist herdsmen, everyone know those guys kill people for their grazing right and they don’t distinguish whether you’re Christian or Muslim. A Fulani herdsmen won’t ask for your religion before butchering you in your farm so where the bleep do the USA get their Islamization agenda from.

Buhari is a nepotistic leader, he is majorly doing something termed Northernization rather than Islamization. It’s just ridiculous to accuse him of Islamization. We’ve been hearing the term Islamization since he assumed position in 2015 and yet there is still freedom of practice of religion till now in naija.

If you go through the post on Washington times you will see that the author of the post is incoherent in his assertions. He’s even using Lagos as a case study for his claim of religious intolerance and one would but wonder the motive of the said author.

It’s the same USA press that said Lagos is the most dangerous place to live due to Boko Haram bombing and one would wonder when Boko Haram ever bombed Lagos.

[Did you read the post very well before typing,christians or Muslims were not mentioned,that is why you fail exams all the time

To add to the few points listed
(1) whenever they have their conventions which usually have a population of 2000 or more every weekend,everyone conducts himself or herself in an orderly manner,security men presence is zero percent,no quarrels,no argument's no fight.

(2) they divide themselves into congregations with members numbering to at most 120 persons,so that each member will everyone personally.

(3)no special seat for anyone,even the elders and ministerial servants can seat anywhere and even participate in cleaning after each service.

(4)no Sunday schools for the children,parents seats with their children to set good examples as parents.

(5) no associations of groups in jw,which may breed division,everyone is equal and associates together

(6)in jw,no body knows your tribe or ethnic group,you can only find out from mode of dress or accent of a particular person,everyone is regarded as one big family.

(7) no titles,even if you have a doctorate degree,or own the whole of Abuja,you will be referred to as brother or sister,you will sit in the same bench with others.

I can imagine fools ranting,most Chinese cars aren't beautiful,when it's economy was struggling,but they locked up their economy for 50 years and patronized their homemade items.where China is today is as a result of circulating their wealth within their economy.be proud of your products no matter how it looks.

A Tale of Buhari, Nana Akufo-Addo and Toyota

By Reno Omokri

First published in my column, #TheAlternative, in Sunday ThisDay of September 1, 2019.

Two West African leaders went to Japan last week. Two of them lobbied Toyota to invest in their nations. But Toyota chose to invest in Ghana and snub Nigeria. Why? After all, Nigeria has a greater market than Ghana with her by far larger population. But what is in a HEAD is more important than the SIZE of the HEAD.

‪Toyota snubbed General Buhari of Nigeria and signed with Ghana for a reason. Only a fool agrees to invest in a country whose President makes CRIMINALS his MINISTERS and makes ACTIVISTS who protest against this him PRISONERS. You can't be LIFELESS in America, and LIVELY in Japan!‬

You think Toyota will trust their investment to a man whose preferred reading is CARTOONS? GODLINESS is next to CLEANLINESS and CLUELESSNESS is next to LIFELESSNESS!

‪Have you heard Nana Akufo-Addo speak? You will feel pride as an African when he talks. His command of the English language and various Ghanaian languages is powerful. He speaks in a way that makes you want to listen and listens in a way that makes you want to speak. Compared to him, General Buhari is very lacklustre. Very lacklustre indeed. No wonder Toyota did not give him the time of day.

Akufo-Addo often speaks without reading a speech. He knows what he wants and says it. He does not outsource his government to his Chief of Staff. He is in CHARGE and Toyota knows it! Perhaps Toyota might have invested in Nigeria if our real President, ‪Abba‬ Kyari, had been in Japan, rather than the figure head called General Buhari.

Before General rose to power, Nigeria was Africa’s number one destination for Foreign Direct Investment according to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development. Please don’t take my word for this. Google it. Under Buhari, however, Nigeria is not even the number one destination for FDI in West Africa. That would be Ghana.

You cannot have a CARTOON loving leader and expect Toyota to invest in your country! Toyota makes CARS, not COMICS. They have done their due diligence. Who will entrust a $180 million investment to a man who opens newspapers and goes straight to the CARTOONS!

It is not only Toyota that snubbed Nigeria for Ghana. Dunlop Nigeria Plc and Michelin Nigeria limited have relocated to Ghana. That already gives Ghana a comparative advantage over Nigeria. But more importantly, good leadership relocated from Nigeria to Ghana in ‪2017 via Nana‬ Akufo-Addo!

Take something as fundamental to both Nigeria and Ghana as KILLER HERDSMEN. Akufo Addo gave a shoot at sight order. Google it. General Buhari said "giving land for ranching is better than death". Google it. If you are Toyota, where would you go?

The failure of leadership in Nigeria under General Buhari is so acute that Nigerians now open bank accounts in Ghana and other neighbouring countries in order to safeguard their savings from the ineptitude of General Buhari’s economic policy. An economic policy that orders the Central Bank of Nigeria not to provide foreign exchange for genuine businessmen importers, yet giddily provides forex for pilgrims to Jerusalem and Mecca.

Akufo-Addo is an Oxford and University of Ghana alumnus. Where is General Buhari’s certificate? Even Toyota can’t find it with all their technology. And you want them to invest in such a leader? Are they foolish like those that voted for Buhari?

I am willing to sponsor the next Guilder Ultimate Search and to triple the winnings if the organisers can make General Buhari’s WAEC certificate the object of the search. Maybe they can achieve what the 14 SANs Buhari hired could not do and unearth his certificate. I am sure the show will end without a WINNER!

Before he was executed, the late Major General Mamman Vatsa gave a word of advise to the Nigerian people saying ‘when you start to insult yourself, you will never lack those willing to join you’. Such is the condition Nigeria finds herself with General Buhari. Ghana is laughing at us

How could a nation of people that are the most educated of any immigrant community in the United States end up with a leader like General Buhari, a man whose highest educational qualification is a WAEC certificate and even that is questionable!

The quality of the Gross Domestic product of a nation is in direct proportion to the quality of her leadership. Do you think it is a coincidence that we became Africa’s biggest economy under a PhD holder and went into recession under a man of questionable WAEC status?

But until then, do not blame Toyota. Blame yourself for voting in a leader that does not know that West Germany ceased to exist in 1990!

The( imn )shitte is not an organization or an association,it is just a religious group,proscribing them is disturbing and funny on the part of the federal government,the Constitution which govern this country allows for freedom of worship and conscience.the federal government would have given this man the Bail and then restrict him from traveling out of the country.Nigeria needs peace.

Technology and innovation indeed,but here in Nigeria,we are busy building churches and mosques left and right,which constitutes nuisance in the society,we are busy kidnapping our brothers and sisters for Ransome,herdsmen are rampaging on daily bases,and our leaders are looting our Commonwealth.
Who did this our Nigeria?
