“House-to-house visits don start” – Nigerians react as Jehovah’s Witnesses open Kingdom Halls two years after COVID-19 lockdown.

Jehovah’s Witnesses have opened their places of worship, known as Kingdom Halls, two years after they were shut worldwide due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The group’s spokesperson in Nigeria, Olusegun Eroyemi, in a video announcement noted that its public activities were suspended to prevent the spread of COVID-19 among members and their friends.

In his words: “ We didn’t want to be associated with spreading COVID. We didn’t want it to be said that someone contracted COVID because he attended a function organised by Jehovah’s witnesses. That was why we had to wait until what we thought was a good time to go and this time, we think, is the right time.

“ These are difficult but not hopeless times. Attending one of these special events will provide the needed courage to look to the future with confidence in God’s promises.”

While the Kingdom Halls were shut, members of the religious group held their services virtually.

Aas the worshipping centers are now open, reports confirmed that all activities, including their famous house-to–house visits will begin.

A socila media user on Facebook reacted saying : “Finally, people go come knock for my door."

Someone said, "Finally we will see people tucked in with bags and umbrella moving around on Saturdays."

Here's what another said, "Finally, we will have access to AWAKE and other magazines.”

What do you say too?

Why not mind your business?? When you born your own no give her hole for ear.....mind your business in this life

Na all dis mind ya biznes mek dey mek better pple scarce 4 streets!

D contemporary world is absurdly & dangerously sliding into moral bankruptcy wit each passing day, all because of mind ya biznes!

Meanwhile, in a real sense, no one can absolutely mind his or her own biznes without minding other pple's biznes!

Dis is inevitably so because, by nature, minding other pple's biznes is inherently part of our own biznes, on a general note!

Any exhibition dt's not private {frm anyone living among humans} invariably bcoms a public matter & d pple must definitely mind it!

Of course, u can't privately take a decision wit public implications & expect d pple not 2 mind it!

Moreso, we can't practically be our brothers' & sisters' keepers without minding their biznes!

So, we mind one anoda's biznes at different point in time, unless d biznes doesn't roll in public domain!

Senior Pastor Demolishes Church After Catching His Wife Kissing Assistant Pastor.

The senior pastor of Evangelical Church in Tana River County, Kenya, has demolished his church in anger after he caught his wife and the assistant pastor having a romantic moment after a prayer vigil.

According to Nairobi News, the preacher is said to have caught his wife kissing the assistant pastor in the church.

Joan Mulei, a member of the worship team, said the pastor and the wife left immediately after the service only for the pastor’s wife to return a few minutes later.

"People had already left and only the assistant pastor and a few worship team members stayed behind for a meeting when she walked in and joined in the meeting that would later end prematurely,” she said.

The group ended the meeting with a prayer and proceeded home, leaving behind the assistant pastor and the Reverend’s wife who appeared to be holding another exclusive meeting.

"While we were walking home, we met the senior pastor at the junction to the church, he looked worried and asked if we had seen his wife, we told him she was still held in a meeting with his assistant,” she said.

The pastor headed towards the church to pick up his wife as he feared the insecurity in the town following a rise in murder incidents by the Kayole Brothers gang.

On arrival at the Church, he found the lights switched off and the main door closed. He decided to use that rear door where he was shocked to find his wife entangled in the arms of his assistant, lost in a passionate kiss.

"We heard a man scream, Yesuuu!!!Yesu!!! And we thought he had been attacked so we ran to his rescue since we knew the voice of the pastor only to find him bringing down the church while the wife was pleading with him to settle,” said Ali Mohammed, a resident living near the church.

The man of God in tears demolished the iron-sheet-made building in the night and immediately hired some youth to carry them away.

Immediately after, he left the town for an unknown place and has not picked up calls since.

The wife has since left for her matrimonial home.

Reached for comment, the assistant pastor claimed that the pastor’s wife coerced him into the act, denying that they have been having an affair.

“They Are Not The Ordinary Kidnappers” – El-Rufai Reveals Those Behind Abuja-Kaduna Train Attack.

The Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai has unveiled the identities of those responsible for Monday’s dastardly attack on the Abuja-Kaduna train in which many were killed, some injured and many others kidnapped.

The daring attack which sent shockwaves down the spines of Nigerians was jointly executed by Boko Haram members and bandit terrorists, the Governor disclosed.

He made the disclosure on Friday while speaking with newsmen shortly after briefing President Muhammadu Buhari on the security situation in Kaduna State as well as the recent attacks in the state, NaijaliveTv reports.

Governor El-Rufai also confirmed that the terrorists have started contacting some of the family members of those they kidnapped but ruled out the possibility of his government paying ransom to secure their release.

He said,“They have contacted some of the families but they have not made specific demands yet.

“They are not the ordinary kidnappers, it’s Boko Haram members that connived with bandits to launch the attack and so our thought is, they may demand the government to pay the ransom.”

He remained optimistic that security forces will locate the bandits in their hideout and rescue the victims safely.

It will be recalled that former Kaduna Central Senator, Shehu Sani also recently identified the major bandits operating in the north as Bello Turji, Dogo Gide, Manjagara, and Balleri, wondering why they still roam freely, grant interviews on radio and the security agencies have not arrested them.

He accused the security agencies and agents of only carrying out ‘eye-service’ operations.

How can a girl that normal go to school around 8:30-9am got A for punctually. The funniest part of it is that the teacher give the girl A in all area but still in 19th position out of 25 pupils

RATING GRADE:
50-74 is C but the teacher Wrote A in all

Please what your advice?

Take it or leave it, most of Private Schs results are manipulatively fabricated 2 pls parents!

In Education proper, d class teacher doesn't comment on learners' academic {cognitive} performance, bt only on d behavioural {affective & psychomotor} performance!


Only d Head Teacher or Principal is designated 2 comment on learners' academic performance!


Meanwhile, d lil child is yet anoda Prof or intellectual in d making!

All the brost.itute guys were toasting her and collecting her number to sleep with her one after each other

But I didn't approach or even go to greet her so she asked one of her friends
"What is wrong with that guy over there?
"He is gay!" They told her

Frankly, in some climes, it's a crime 2 so do!

And d crime is dt, u did it without d baby's conscience!

Thus, it's regarded as a gross violation of d baby's right 2 freedom of choice, because d Child may grow up & dislike it, utterly!

So, u hv 2 let them grow up 2 be free 2 make their choice particularly in such typical issues where conscience & reasoning are required!

The Bible never said we should force anyone to be born again (not by words or acts). There is no scripture that say that.

Jesus never did. You are not so different from the Jihadists.

It's a waste of my time arguing with you. Have a good day.

To tell u, u must be born again is what u call force, by ur own reasoning?

If dis is how d Jihadists are going abt theirs, nobody wil tag them wit violence in the their modus operandi!


It's apparent u hv superficial knowledge of d Scripture!

And dt accts 4 why u're trying mighty hard 2 explain urself away frm d blazing truth!

Obviously, u really can't stand d heat, dude!

A young beautiful Ghanaian lady has expressed gratitude to God for giving her a private part that she can use to make money in order to survive.

From her point of view, ladies can still manage to survive even when not working or doesn’t have a great job.

Taking to her Facebook page,

“No paying job, talent or handwork but we eat every day, thank God for the private part”

So basically from what she said, a lady’s private part alone can provide all the needs for them without talent or hard work as long as men still live.

I like equality, but know this :
For a home to work the way it should, it has to be led by a forward-thinking man whose word is yes and amen.

Sadly, that man is non-existent in that child's life.

Is there any way anyone anywhere wil disagree wit u without looking like a fool already?


She's most probably gonna be a single momma!


I often wonder what exactly d future holds 4 all dis lil children, when those who hv little or no decency & scruples are now d ones bcomin mothers 2 raise children!


How on earth wil they ever be able 2 impart d good character & moral rectitude they don't possess on d lil children?

And how d children wil ever grow up 2 bcom reasonable & responsible adults in modern societies must be by divine intervention!

Nigerian Lady Naomi Allegedly Kidnapped Along With 6 Other Persons On Their Way To Lagos, Her Photo Emerges.

Another Nigerian lady identified as Naomi has been allegedly kidnapped, with 6 others, on her way to Lagos.

A Twitter user who claimed to be Naomi's friend shared a photo of the missing lady on the social media platform and sought help from netizens.

According to the said friend's testimony, the kidnappers have actually reached Naomi's people but only once.

A Nigerian lady named Agrinya Tina has appealed for help on Twitter as she announced that her friend, Naomi, is nowhere to be found.

Tina said that Naomi and 6 other persons were kidnapped along Kabba in Kogi state on their way to Lagos state .

According to Tina, the incident happened on Wednesday, March 30, 2022.

Responding to comments under her tweet, Tina revealed that the kidnappers had only called once since the alleged kidnap but are yet to make any contact.

She said:

"They kidnappers called once and since then no call came in... So i think prayers will suffice for now."

Social media reactions
@sovereignayo said:

"The only way to save a kidnapped victim is by paying the ransom or meeting up to what the kidnappers demanded. It's unfortunate that she got kidnapped but using her travail to gather retweets by asking for “unspecified” help is hypocrisy. Repent soberly specify the help u want."

@ehiskhana said:

"Was just reading about one where a pastor and his son were kidnapped in a Benue links vehicle along with http://others.So 2 incidents on the same road on the same day? This has to stop..Why are we as citizens just watching daily as if this situation is normal??"

@MiBukola said:

"Kidnapping is fast becoming a multi million business for these Criminals...security agencies that's to checkmate and stop their activities are involved for their own financal gains...abi you didn't hear kidnappers reporting to police in Abuja over disagreement in ransome sharing."

@Bodii06 said:

"Reasons I find it had to travel this days, the road, train tracks, airport ain't safe anymore. Back in the day early and late 90's traveling miles to school and hols was fun. The last time I traveled to abk and back to lag by road was with prayers.

"God bless Nigeria."

@dukest96 said:

"This country is finished so much so that nobody anywhere is safe..only the elites that move about with soldiers, to guard them day and night are safe.

"This is one of the reasons there must be a referendum.

"We are tired."

Woman narrates how her daughter who was kidnapped and taken to Mali escaped
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a Nigerian woman had shared how her daughter kidnapped and taken to Mali miraculously escaped.

Favour's mum said she got a phone call one day to inform her that her daughter was in Mali. This was a huge shock to her because the young lady went to school but failed to make it back home.

According to the woman, the kidnappers demanded the sum of N1.5 million for Favour to be released. She however said she had no way of raising such an amount.

GENES11S:
It is a condition to be part of the kingdom of God.
There is nothing forcefull there. The choice is still left to each and everyone of us.

That is what differentiate Christianity from some other religion. You are taught the Truth but the choice to be part of God's kingdom is left for you.

Learn to take corrections no one knows it all.

Well, all I see is dt, u lack basic understanding of d Scripture!

If Christ says:

EXCEPT a man be born again, he can't see d Kingdom of God.

What invariably he's saying is dt, u MUST be born again 2 see d Kingdom of God!


See, dude, u can't get 2 God or heaven on ur own terms, bt only on God's terms, wich is clearly & openly documented in d Written Word!


For how long wil u keep pampering urself wit lies jst 2 get by? Huh?

Is there anything demonic about certain people's sense of decency & fashion-consciousness to the damning extent of not recognising obvious boundaries?

All right, check out what a probably new generation, digital mother did on her innocent daughter!

And there are many of such ilk in our modern world today, but this is Africa, for crying out loud!

What with exactitude should we call this now?

GENES11S:
The Bible didn't say it's a must.

In fact it is optional... everyone is given the choice to be saved (be of Christ) or not to be saved.

So let us stop deviating from the words of God.

When d Bible says EXCEPT a man be born again, he can't see d Kingdom of God! ...do u really think dt word, except, as used in d context, leaves u wit any reasonable alternative than 2 get saved? Huh?

Quit studying d Bible peripherally!

Troops Dislodge Unknown Gunmen, Recover Guns, Charms & Coffin.

It was a victorious outing for the troops of 82 Division of the Nigerian Army as they conducted clearance operations along Anambra/Imo States border communities, during which they invaded a criminal hideout used by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and its armed affiliate, Eastern Security Network (ESN) in Orsumoghu, Ihiala Local Government Area of Anambra State. 

This was contained in a statement issued by the Director, Army Public Relations, Brigadier General Onyema Nwachukwu, in which he also noted that the notorious groups have serially launched attacks on defenceless civilians and security targets from the hideout.


The statement reads in parts:

“During the clearance operations along the border communities, troops were met with stiff resistance from the dissident elements, as they closed in on their enclave.

They were overwhelmed by troops’ superior firepower, forcing them to abandon their hideout.”

“After overrunning their camp, the gallant troops carried out further exploitation and recovered a cache of arms, comprising 22 Pump Action rifles, 19 Dane guns and 6 machetes.

Other items recovered include assorted mobile phones, SIM cards, monitors and a laptop. One operational Toyota Hilux vehicle and various voodoo items and charms were also recovered.


“Investigations revealed that the hideout served as the operational base of one Innocent Obieke (aka Double Lion), who is said to be the head of the vigilante group in the area, but surreptitiously coordinates the criminal activities of IPOB/ESN.

The suspect is currently on the run, while troops have intensified operations to close in on him and his cohorts.

“Members of the general public are please enjoined to continue to support troops and other security agencies with credible and timely information that will lead to the arrest of criminal elements in their vicinity".

Suspected herdsmen in military uniforms, attack Benue community kill three farmers.

Ortom to People:

Defend yourselves against Fulani invasion!

Suspected armed Fulani militants on Tuesday night made incursions into communities in Naka, headquarters of Gwer West Local Government Area of Benue State leaving at least three farmers including an octogenarian dead.

The invaders, who New Telegraph learnt, were dressed in military camouflage, invaded the area in the evening without cattle and started shooting sporadically to scare residents.

The scene of the attack is reported to be two kilometres from Naka town, which is the commercial nerve centre and home of the wife of Governor Samuel Ortom, Eunice.

Scores of residents including women and children are said to have fled the now troubled areas.

Chairman of the local government, Mrs. Grace Igbabon and paramount ruler in the area, the Ter Nagi, HRM, Chief Daniel Abomtse, who confirmed the gruesome attack and killings, lamented the ceaseless attacks on their subjects by Fulani marauders.

Mrs. Igbabon told reporters that the invaders came on motorcycles, a development that threw the entire area into panic.

Meanwhile, the Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom Wednesday reiterated his call on people of the state to defend themselves against attacks on them by armed Fulani terrorists.

The governor, who was reacting to the unprovoked attack and killing of the people in Gwer West, Kwande and Guma local government areas, expressed grief over the sustained invasion and killing of his people.

He described attacks in the affected communities as coordinated.

The governor, in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary Mr. Nathaniel Ikyur, said reports reaching him from the team leader of security agencies in Kaseyo near Tse Torkula village in Guma local government revealed that suspected Fulani herders at about 0930 hours on Tuesday shot one Turner Ajar and an unidentified elderly man who were on a motorcycle going to the farm.

“The team of Agro Rangers who were on patrol in the area ran into the attack, unfortunately, the victims had already been killed. Their corpses were taken and deposited at a hospital in Gbajimba, Guma local government area of the state.

“In Kpankeeke, a suburb on the outskirts of Naka, headquarters of Gwer West Local Government, gory images of persons killed by another set of herdsmen littered the streets.

“The Agro Rangers team were alerted and they moved to the location alongside the Army and Police.”
