The 3rd pic seems to show a bullet wound to the chest but the bullet did not pierce the military jacket. No correlation there if that is truly a bullet wound

Sincerely, I commend you for your patience and tactfulness at answering these questions.
The truth is, I've done this before and it didn't end well. The more you try to help some see the truth, the more many will come to confuse them again. It's like fetching water into a basket.

I'll suggest we continue with our normal house to house and one on one witnessing and beg Jehovah to bless our sincere effort.

Like Jehovah has promised, he will speed it up in his own time. And we will continue to pray to Jehovah to help them know the truth.

Why would we spend our time and energy trying to deceive people?

www.jw.org is the best place they can go to find answers to all their questions.

Well done bro.
It is wrong to come to nairaland to do what he's trying to do. The faithful slave doesn't even encourage it.
It will only end up in more profanity of the true God.

JMAN05:
There seem to be many questions on this board regarding the bible, God, lifestyle, science etc, answers have also been offered. However, you might get a reasonable answer to your questions if you try and see how Jehovah's Witnesses proffer solution to those questions.

Of course, reading from our websites, can assist you with an authoritative answer from the field of JWs. (ie, www.jw.org; tv.jw.org; wol.jw.org). Jehovah's witnesses also have an application which can help someone read different versions of the bible like KJV, Bryington, ASV etc. You can also download our journals in ur own language inside this app and watch some videos. Go to play store and search for JWLibrary app.

The witnesses in ur vicinity can also assist in answering your questions. You can also send me an email for a quiet discussion devoid of distractions common in Nairaland.

But you can post ur questions here too, let's see how we can handle it, but please be civil and open minded. I won't respond to apostates or apostate sites or those I view to be unserious. I might end it if one is insincere.

I do not have answers to every question. Others like Biblespeaks, dolphinheart, truthislight can contribute also.
Is your action of coming here to stir up controverises supported by the faithful and discreet slave?
Many would see this as an opportunity to profane the true God. Is that what you want?

Horsesmouth:
The National Union of Road Transport Workers is a Nigerian organisation which functions as a mixture of a public transport company, street gang, and a transport worker's union.

The organisation raises fund through several methods, but the largest of these is charging fees - of approximately 20 Nigerian Naira at illegal checkpoints, and from local shop owners.

A large number of the NURTW have been arrested in recent months after a government crackdown on these unregulated fees, after the government embarked on a plan to stop people from collecting dues outside motor parks.[1] These people are known as agberos.

*Source-wikipedia
Wikipedia reviewers definitely failed to see the contextual meaning of our words.

'Agbero' is a yoruba word which translates to someone who sources for passengers for a vehicle.
On the other hand, 'agbero' as a street word translates to a tout.

That there are numerous 'agberos' impersonating a NURTW revenue collector is not in doubt.

However if the NURTW official is in his legitimate beat, Navy F- UP.

Mind you, ' ANYbody can edit Wikipedia to say ANYthing.

NURTW is LEGIT.

You have made my point. This is Nigeria not UK or US.

A country where illegalities are branded legal.
A country where you pay 5% VAT at Mr Biggs and another 5% consumption tax (VAT again) to buy 1 meat pie.
A country where people like you use "legal" to justify what is wrong and turn around to complain that the country is not moving forward!
I'm sure you understand what 'legality' really means.

For clarity of doubt, I repeat, Nigerian laws recognise NURTW as a LEGAL LABOR UNION guided by set down rules and regulations.
They have due/revenue collectors just like any other LABOR UNION.

Whatever they use their revenues for is a different topic entirely.

A Naval Rating assaulting a genuine member of a LABOR UNION while going about his legitimate business is very wrong.

Let's not digress.

When you call NURTW a Labour Union, what you need ask yourself is if you cede so much of your own Income on a daily basis to the Union in the Industry you work in.

You need to be empathetic to the plight of the danfo, okada and rickshaw drivers.

Are you aware that on the average a rickshaw driver pays N1,200.00 a day to NURTW thugs, pays delivery to the owner of maybe N5,000.00 a day and is perpetually on a race against time to earn money for himself and his family per day. Then he will pay tax to Lagos State again.
Unfortuately, that's Naija for you.

Your position on the food chain is a key determinant to a lot of things.

Yes. Legally is the right word to use. The NURTW is recognized by Nigerian laws.

IT IS A LABOR UNION FOR CHRISSAKE.

This is Nigeria not the UK or US.

And what is the due(s) for exactly??
The NURTW is a recognised Labour union in Nigeria. Their constitution and hierarchies are known and open to all.

What they do with their dues is for another day.

The Naval Rating was wrong to assault the NURTW 'official'.

I guess you don't stay In lagos if not you will know the union worker should have respect the fact that there was a navy personnel in the bus and let the bus go which is the norm but the witches in his village were after him so he didn't know the right thing to do
What you call 'NORM' is in reality WRONG.

If the guy is truly an 'official' of NURTW, the Naval Rating is wrong.

However, they both needed to have shown respect for each other before the altercation escalated.

This is the biggest and most prestigious traditional festival common to every Awka born.
Indiegens travel from far down to their home town Awka for this great occasion which happens once a year.

The celebration attracts personalities from all areas of the state, friends and well wishers of Awka sometimes participate in the celebration

https://i2.wp.com/www.enzyhub.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/imoka.jpg?

as they witness singing and dancing from assorted masquerades and masquerade men all in the bid to make the occasion colourful.

Some, Particularly Christians are of the opinion that the celebration is satanic and should be scrapped, siting bloodshed, violence and idolatry as one of the reasons to let go of the old Awka tradition, while others see it simply as a means of catching fun ones in a year and also to uphold the Igbo tradition and legacy handed over to us by our forefathers.

https://i0.wp.com/www.enzyhub.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/IMG_20160612_133301.jpg?

What’s your take as an Awka indiegen?? Do you see Imo Awka festival as idolatry and should be scrapped or modified or do you see it as a tradition which must be maintained??

why i pointed out about the waste issue was because during the previous administration we never had such issues so i had expected him to continue in the same vein.
For almost a week, ASWAMA seemed to be on strike, filth everywhere, dirt littered every dump site in a massive way. Awka was smelling So bad.

Funny enough, i engaged some folks on why waste disposal has a lot of potential for private investors like it happens in other cities in Nigeria and they flared up saying they cannot pay #100 per room a month for waste disposal and i was disgusted. They say the govt must bear all the cost.

Then i got to realise there's a fundamental problem somewhere.

Ok that is to you but to us and many others who see through development knows that Anambra is the best among equals. Anambra is the fastest developing state in Nigeria in all sectors. FG is handling the federal road from Onitsha to Awka. Anambra is developing State-widely unlike others. Anambra has some of the best road networks in Nigeria, below are some of state roads.
Oh boy, drive through Umuonaga, Umueri, Umuogbu, Ulonese, Umuike all within Awka metropolis and you will understand better. As busy as St Faith road is,there's no drainage and its just too narow. Just suitable for keke and okada. Tiny roads where 2 vehicles can hardly pass beside each other, tanks, dirt and filth used to fill eroded roads.

Darn.

Anambra State
It is a known fact that Anambra State is one of the most ecologically damaged states in Nigeria. Erosion has rendered many homeless and made areas of fertile land useless while still threatening to eat-up the 4844km2 area of the states.

Over the years, huge financial resources have been sunk into erosion management and control in Anambra and there is still no abatement for the menace in the state. Anambra is 2nd with respect to population density in Nigeria. With population and erosion rapidly expanding, a future might exist in which they would not be enough land to cater for the expanding population.

At present, most of the erosion management has focused largely on post-erosion management, which does not recover lost land or properties as it mostly stops erosion site from spreading. We need to change approach and lay more emphasis on pre-erosion management. Most of the factors, which affect erosion in the state are natural and look insurmountable, but with dedication it is largely controllable.

In pre-erosion management the erosion is tackled head on before it even occurs and hence easily averted. Anambra has to invest funds in reading and controlling the early stage of erosion and monitoring each site and checking up any signs of splash, sheet and rill erosion quickly.

Abia State
......Abia is one of the states that is seriously devastated by gully erosion and the environmental concern has made successive administrations in the state to solicit the assistance of the Federal Government in curbing the ecological menace.

Imo State
Many residents watch the earth move, pulling down homes, cutting off roads and leaving them in despair. OKODILI NDIDI reports on the ravages of erosion in Imo State

It sometimes looks like a horror movie in slow motion. Right before their eyes, roads and farmlands are being washed away. Some communities are being cut off, houses buried in red earth. In some places, residents of threatened homes peer down in horror on the huge gulf created by that seven-letter word: erosion.

Most communities in Imo State are coping rather badly with the phenomenon. Displaced residents have been suking, unsure when the terror will end.

Enugu State
Enugu State Governor Sullivan Chime has said that the state has the highest number of erosion sites in Nigeria. Governor Chime said this through his deputy, Rev. Raphael Ifeanyichukwu Nwoye, in an address at the launch of the Nigeria Erosion and Watershed Management Project (NEWMAP).
He said efforts by state and local government areas as well as constituencies to control gully erosion, before now were at best partially or temporarily effective for reasons that included improper road designs, inadequate drainage systems and poor solid waste management.
Chime said other reasons include destructive and unsustainable land use practices that removed protective vegetation cover, over grazing, deforestation, cultivation of marginal lands and uncontrolled mining for building materials and climate change challenges

Ebonyi State
Ebonyi State and the Federal Government have teamed up to tackle erosion, perhaps the worst environmental threat in the region.

The collaboration is considered a strong step forward by the Dave Umahi administration because erosion ravages most parts of the state, especially Afikpo North, Afikpo South and Ohaozara local government areas.
