HISSCRIBE1995: THAT IS NOT TRUE ! A JEHOVAH WITNESS HAS COMFIRMED ON THIS VERY THREAD THAT THEY DONT LISTEN TO CHRISTIAN SONGS THAT'S NOT FROM THEIR FOLD.
AND I HAVE WITNESSED A JW LISTENING TO AN IMORAL SONG. THOUG I DONT TINK IT OKAY TO JUGDE THEM ALL BY THE ACTION OF ONE
I am telling you what they do you said is not true .I have them as friends in Nigeria and in Maryland,America. .... I know some of them that listen to Ayefele music etc
HISSCRIBE1995: I noticed that the jehova witnesses around me usually feel uncomfortable when a christian song is been played but they are quick to dance and sing along to secular (even ungodly ) songs. They seems not to like hearing a christian sermon but would prefer to listen to sermons from other faith (islam)
Now the question is - why do these people react this way but chose to be more positive to unchristian subject rather than christian subject of which they are already familiar with. It is also a wonder that these people Choose not to be identified as Christians (please if I'm wrong with this assertions you can correct me) I think these organizations need to be studied very well to see why they Choose to be the way they are (their doctrines, and differences in scriptures)
If you know anything about this group called jehova witnesses, or had experienced some of their reactions, please share so that the church and general public can know more about them and their beliefs without castigasting anyone.
Jehovah:s witnesses listen to wordly music and christian music as long as they don't have unscriptural teaching or inappropriate lyrics. Get closer to them for you to know them well.
MXrep: Of course he will. But will still be allowed to contest in peace. Such contest is not really to win because it's a mission impossible but to add his quota towards the political landscape. Major problem with Yoruba is fear of failure. Igboman would easily contest and fail without being hurt. All he ask for is level playground without attacks
. Yorubas want to contest and win. IGBOS do not care whether they win or not!
MXrep: Your contribution to progress of the community is what we consider, not tribe. He has been begged severally to contest for governor but he is not interested in politics
Nice one and good step from him!
He should keept it up.
However the day he tries to contest in an elective position is the day he will hear how his mother gave birth to him. That day he will be reminded of his nativity as a Yoruba man.
Goalnaldo: Growing up I had no problem sleeping with the light on but for the past six years or so I can't sleep with the lights on. Even if I'm feeling very sleepy, the moment they bring light, the sleep is gone!!
Most times I turn of the light in my room even when PHCN didn't bring the light so I can sleep. Please who is going through this?
It is a common thing for many people.Medically if yiu switch off the light you are telling yiur system to sleep.The sleep will come.
In terms of security if yiu switch of the light you can see who is coming to your room .The person outside can never see you.
21Ogodol: A family friend who’s a Jehovah’s Witness, said Jehovah’s Witness parents are allowed to perform rites for their children even thou they choose to marry a non witness, that it’s not against the law of the organization and any man who choose not to sit(be it an Elder or a member) is acting so based on his personal belief and not under Jehovah’s Witness.
I have seen cases of daughters getting married and their fathers not attending their traditional marriage or even accepting to collect dowery because she dint marry a witness and he cannot partake in her sin.
One girl said the Dad asked her spouse to first become a witness and get baptized before he can accept her as a son-inlaw and many more like that …
Now this our family friend who is saying it’s not against the law of Jehovah’s Witness is getting me confused and leaving me with so many questions 🧐🧐
If it’s not a against them, then how come so many fathers ignore or even disowned their daughters for taking this step?
How come they all choose to be wicked even thou their organization accepts such?
And those fathers that sits for their daughters who marry non witness, do they get summoned or disfellowshipped?
I need answers pls … someone help me out
The JWS reserve the right to ensure that their children marry a fellow JW so as to have a family unity religiously. Why is it that when a Muslim inststs on same religion marriage ,nobody will talk? Why complaining about JWS? The decision of every parent must be respected even for various religious reasons. I respect JWS because of their respect for the sanctity of marriage.Yes they are imperfect but their families are still among the best in the world. Thank you for your insighful comment. Christians must marry only on the Lord that is those who fully share yiur faith and are gunuinnely dedicated and baptised. 1Cor7:39. 3Cir 6:14.
MaxInDHouse: According to God's law to the Israelites they're not to marry people from other nations or give their daughters to people from other nations {Deuteronomy 7:3} this is because all these people aren't worshipers of the God of Israel so such intermarriage will turn a worshiper of their God away from serving their God.
After Jesus of Nazareth his disciples began marrying only within their group so even though a person is Jewish but not a Christian the disciples of Christ will not marry such a person but no matter where you come from as long as you're a Christian the Christians will be happy to form marriage alliance with you. 1Corinthians 7:39
Today most people don't know the difference between Christians and pagans as different religionists are claiming followers of Christ yet contradicting themselves with lots of conflicting doctrines so the real Christians (Jehovah's Witnesses) takes their stand for the heritage of God's people which is marrying only true worshipers of our God.
So if i am a father after inculcating the laws of our God in my my child's heart {Deuteronomy 6:6-7} whatever makes him or her feel like marrying a none worshiper of our God then he or she is taking a step that's surely going to cause him or her great sorrow in the future i will never be a part of such so that when the troubles starts he or she will remember the heritage of God's people that marrying an unbeliever shows foolishness! Proverbs 22:3
Thanks!

dopecreator: Please, moderators, let this be on the front page.
In 2019, I borrowed money from a family member, then, I had no job. In total, he sent me 200 thousand naira to my Access Bank over eight months - money I have repaid.
In 2020, I was lucky and started working as an IT worker with a company based in the UK, but then I received my salary with GT Bank and used my Access Bank for regular transactions. Soon after, Access Bank locked my account.
I called their customer service, and they said my account was restricted, and I had to reach their branch. I went there, and the police arrested me in Warri and sent me to Benin without telling me what I did.
I said if this were because of the 200 thousand naira my family member sent me, I would pay back; they held me and told me the person who sent me the money did fraudulent business. Like, go arrest the person and leave me alone. I'll send the money back. I was locked up with criminals for two weeks.
The bank or police couldn't reach me to inform me of anything, money I would have paid quickly. I earned in dollars. I lost my $10,000 contract and was jobless for months. I started having mental issues because of the arrest and inhumane treatment.
Don't bank with Access Bank; if you run a legit business, they will ruin your life.
At times we give a bank a name it does not bear beacuse of our experiences. Why have other people not have same experience like you? Anybody who has an issue with a bank should formerly seek for a redress. Sorry for what happened but yiur friend is a precursor of yiur crisis.
In 2022 ASU/ FG went into an agreement on salary review.Same year ASUP /FG went into agreement too. Now the government has approved the salary adjustment from Jan 2023. The increase is different from the Subsidy salary adjustment which is still in the pipeline.
. I began to wonder how a doctor could work for 72 hours without taking his bath, having food and brushing his teeth. Distorted story every where to crate traffic..
Sheggy13: I thought each party agent in a polling unit gets a copy of the ballot paper of that polling unit. My question is why didn't Peter Obi retrieve those from their LP party agents and use for his defense at the tribunal instead of relying on Irev copies?
. Obi did not come with Ballot papers.He came with downloaded IREV results. He could have come with Ballot papers to prove his case. The issue is where is the time to do so? He did not also show the relevance of how what he presented made him win or affect the overall results of the election. My concern in Kano matter is : where did they get the unstamped ballot papers?
. Who misqouted yiu? Give examples.A Yoruba man from Ipetumodu who did not do anything in him hometown.There is even no presence of the FG in his home town.
dmostcheerful: Ndi Ara, but there rejected all the blurred documents Obi presented.
Obi presented downloaded blurred results from the IREV. Insignificant evidence before the AC. Unstamped ballot papers were used in Kano necessitating their cancellation from the overall results
ojoadeola: The presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, in his appeal to the Supreme Court, has said he got 8.7 million votes in the 2023 presidential election, insisting that he won the election.
POLITICS NIGERIA reports that Obi is seeking nullification of the judgment of the Presidential Election Petition Court, which upheld the victory of Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the February 25 presidential election.
In a 51-ground appeal filed by his lawyers on Tuesday, Obi argued that the PEPC erred in law by dismissing his petition, which challenged the outcome of the election on the grounds of alleged overvoting and non-compliance with the Electoral Act.
Obi’s lawyers also argued that the PEPC erred in refusing to rely on the evidence of 18,088 blurred polling unit results uploaded by INEC staff to its public viewing portal. They said the blurred results formed part of the certified copies issued to them by INEC and should have been considered by the PEPC.
The appeal partly read, “Take notice that the Appellants being dissatisfied with the decisions in PETITION NO: CA/PEPC/03/2023 MR. PETER GREGORY OBI & ANOR. v. INDEPENDENT NATIONAL ELECTORAL COMMISSION & ORS. (consolidated with Election Petition Nos: CA/PEPC/04/2023 and CA/PEPC/05/2023), contained in pages 3-327 of the Judgment of the Court of Appeal sitting as the Presidential Election Petition Court, Holden at Abuja, Coram: H. S. Tsammani, Stephen Jonah Adah, Misitura Omodere Bolaji-Yusuff, Boloukuroma Moses Ugo and Abba Bello Mohammed, JJ.C.A. (“the Court below”) delivered on the 6th day of September 2023, and more particularly stated in paragraph 2 of this Notice of Appeal, do hereby appeal to the Supreme Court on the Grounds set out in Paragraph 3 and will at the hearing of the appeal seek the Reliefs sought in paragraph 4 herein.”
How did he get 8m in the election? What is the breakdown state by state? Where is the table of the results he relied on? What is the postion of the SC on IREV results?
Have I not devalued his petition to again even in my comment?
My advice is when they are coming for judgement they should come to with pillows to sleep and kolanut or bitter kola to chew well.
tishbite42: Yorubas' obsession with the Igbos is kinda scary Wetin concern OBJ speech with Igbos?! You have the presidency. Enjoy it and have peace of mind. Igbos this, Igbos that Haba
. IGBOS belong to Nigeria. IGBOS deserve presidency. However they shiukd strategise well.
. That is a lie sir. The North made you president in order to pacifiy the SW over the death of Abiola MKO. The North wanted someone who would return the power to the North .Obasanjo did so in 1979 when he gave power to Shagari at the expense of Awolowo. He did not even support Awolowo then That is why the North preferred him to Falae. Olu Did Obasanjo disappoint the North? No He handed over to Yarhadua in the North. The SE should learn how politics is practiced in Nigeria. The earlier the better for the region!
Zico5: Efforts in futility as usual. I don't know the rationale behind all these brouhaha that peter Obi is doing. Maybe the man is truly lacked in intelligence capacity. It's crystal clear that he lost woefully in 12 northern muslim states. With that, kogi and Kwara are not inclusive which make it 14 states. He also lost in 5 south west states and everyone knows if u lose all these states, it's not possible to win the general election. Maybe he thought the south east and south south states with fragments of few states from North and Lagos could give him the mandate. May we not labour know vain. His advisers are just wasting his tizNow me. Nothing can come out of this facade again.
It is a wasre of time to talk about Obi and his Obedients. They will never listen .If you tell them the truth they will take you as an enemy. When they were carrying TV to the PEPT. I warned them . I warned them that. all their cases before the. AC would end in futility. Now they are in SC .All their isssues will be reduced to 4 or 5 by the court .The SC has no time for the frivolities iin litigation. The judgement?? BAT victory will be confirmed again
You cannot poorly execute a case at the AP only to come and represent it at the SC.
Johnnyessence: Hmm Lp campaign Spokesman speaking here. Very deep here. Meanwhile, The electoral act we passed says that INEC officer MUST snap the result at the polling unit and transfer or transmit to the IREV. And if there is any difference between the transferred result and the physical one, the IREV result is more authentic and is to be used. ~Ex Senate President Ahmed Lawan!!
The SC of the Land has ruled that results declared at the polling units are more reliable than IREV results Adeleke vrs 0yetoka2023 Additionally constitution supercedes what we have on the electoral laws. INEC is not bound by the constitution to upload the results. By the way where has the actor lawyer been since? I was looking for him among the kolanut eaters during the AC judgement. He will eat his bitter kola too when the SC jettisions their fresh appeals on the BAT victory.
. I am sure if this. Islam does not allow women to lead where men are.It is only in the Christianity we have Pastor Mrs Deaconess. Lady Evangelist etc even when Bible does not make a room for them. Isalm however does not play with it..
