todugo:
The question now is; should a JW male in UK and America wear earrings to preaching and place of worship? Yes or No.

Did you know in some countries, men wear skirts as a form of dressing?

Whatever is acceptable, decent and conforms to God's laws/principles, in line with the cultures and traditions of any land and that will not cause a stumbling block to others, witness try to adhere to that....

oteneaaron:
You are missing the entire point.

Can you please answer my question?

As a full grown man, why do you have to wait until your religious leaders give you approval before you can grow your own beard?

Why?

You are getting the whole thing wrong dude.
Nobody gives you order to grow bears nor stopped you from growing bears.
Just that before now, of you grow bears, you won't be allowed to hold or handle sensitive responsibilities.
Ask yourself dude, if you own a company and you are interviewing 2 men, one has bears and tattoos and earrings, and one has clean shave and no tattoos and not earrings, who amongst them will you employ to he your manager?
That's the point

todugo:
So you saying your brothers in America and UK can wear earrings and tattoos and have previlages or preach 😂🤦

I am saying it's normal for people in the UK US but frowned at in Nigeria.
The police will constantly harrass you in Nigeria, so corporate organizations and businesses want to avoid being tagged irresponsible

oteneaaron:
So why do you as a Jehovah's Witness have to wait until your religious leader gives a go ahead before you can grow your own freaking beards?

That is how CULTS behave.

Have you forgotten that the Governing Body said this?



Bro, you guys are a CULT.

So why don't you wear beautif tattoos and dreads waiting until the society or Nigerians approve of it or start accepting those?
Your mates in the US are comfortably doing those, dude

todugo:
I thought you people don't conform to worldly standards and you are separate from the world? So why now saying you conforming to the world?😂😂

Double standards.

When you hear conform, it means, way of life that is bad.. or widely frowned at by the large society or seen as bad. Witness follow societal norms and culture that are not harmful or against the Bible and widely acceptable.
In the US dreads, tattoos, earrings are worn by male doctors, teachers, bankers, lawyers, professors. But try wear am in Nigeria, your own family will disown you and tag you irresponsible.
So Nigeria society see those as bad and as such, they wouldn't want to be tagged bad

oteneaaron:
This is why the Jehovah's Witness organization is called a CULT.

Only in a CULT will the religious leaders give instructions on whether or not you can grow a freaking beard.

If it sounds like a cult, acts like a cult, then it is definitely a CULT.

Dude let me educate you more, in the US here, doctors, bankers, lawyers, teachers wear huge tattoos and dreadlocks, but try wear am for nigeria, first your family will brand you irresponsible, disown you, nit to talk of society, even the police will tag you criminal and arrest you at any opportunity. so if you don't want to cause uproar, you will not wear tattoos or dreads...
But it's a norm in US
In line with that, any reasonable business, corporation or institution will not allow those destabilizers among their members so as to be accepted within the society

victorclean:
Ohhh my God. They are coming out gradually from primitive ideology

They wore bears before then at some point, wearing bears became a trademark for gangs and irresponsible men, so most business and society and corporate organizations chose to shave, seeing that as,a mark of responsible men, so in line with that widely acceptable norm, the witnesses conformed.
Now that that Era has passed as bearded men now hold offices, and are not seen as irresponsible, now their members are free to wear bears again.

Just like now in America, bankers, doctors, lawyers wear bold tattoos and they see no wrong in that, but wear tatoo in Nigeria as a doctor or lawyer or teacher and see if yourself will want to go to a such professional for consultation

Only in Africa that idiots and criminals are celebrated, and hardworking and intelligents are like outcast

Jewessgratitud3:
Soft life to hard life.

I guess when he got there and saw the pile of bills staring him in the face he had no choice but to grab the next available job.

If you are gainfully employed in naija, you don't need to japa. Japa is for someone who has no hope of ever getting a job in Nigeria. He'll appreciate any kind of job he finds there.

It's only in Nigeria that you guys shame someone doing an honest job...but praise illegitimate earners.. sick people

Developed countries like UK US, dude all legitimate jobs are the same, they can pay you as the same if you are skillful and experienced.
Bank managers/doctors no dey earn pass plumbers/electricians/ HVAC technicians,

The funny things you guys don't know is that over 98% of Nigerians are poor, even those bank managers/doctors..

Reason this, here in the US, almost everybody get cars, fill their tanks easily once or twice a week, can eat any food dem want or drink champagne, wear Nike, Adidas, use latest phones.
Now how many so called bank mangers/ so called comfortable le people in nigeria can comfortably afford these?

Jmedi:
Na was oo

What I bought with my money will not kill me

That's not the solution..
Nigerians should start getting carbon monoxide detector installed in their homes.
The alarm sets off anytime there is carbon monoxide

Tinibu is just a dumb skitmaker...

Everything he says is stupidly laughable...

Buhari is way smarter than this one...

onlinediva:
It depends on the person using the car.

The truth is, when you buy most car brands newer, they are mostly good. But cars in good conditions/newer are expensive, in developed countries most people do car payment.
Nigerians buy cars upfront, those are junks cars they buy, that's why they sleep at mechanic workshops.
Here in the US, I have driven many cars years, and never visited a mechanic, except oil change, Tyre rotations and routine .maintenance.

tsdarkside:
they only come to nigeria for the dollars....

nothing else....
when we tell una this foreighn companies are doing nigeria no good,una will not listen....

How old are you?

Who told you business is run with dumb emotions and sentiments, the way una dey vote any idiot based on such dumb sentiments?
Business is purely for profit making, young man whether local or foreign.
When that is not achieved, you gat to leave of find a way to make profit.
If una like continue voting idiots into power sake of say my tribe and religion, they will continue to destroy your country beyond repairs.
Mind you, I left the idiotic country years ago

YoungLionken:
I really wished tecno, minfinix could upgrade to iPhone capacity, Nigerians would have made them great through sales...

If they do that, it will be costly and then become unaffordable by Nigerian users

kabanayol9:
We are naturally wicked, self centered and are the most religious in the world, though not all, there are still some good people amongst us.


How can someone that claimed to have won 5million naira the previous day from his fixed game still be asking me Emmanuel wey mama born use showel back to pay 3k before giving me that same "legit fixed game", who does that?

Same goes to people doing yahoo yahoo, you don't want to work but you want to be driving the latest ride, live big e.t.c, using innocent children, men, women and greedy women for your rituals, please use your family if you must do it.

Same also goes to our politicians making life difficult for her citizens, no single basic amenities that is functioning in this country, be it yoruba, Igbo, hausa or any other tribe, they are all the same, enriching themselves, family, friends and associates with the nations wealth, money 💰 wey dem go spend in the year 2024 dey don read am as budget.



My advice to my fellow nigerians who are still good people, be thankful and grateful to GOD Almighty with the little you have always, HE will do more, be a better version of yourself, don't join bad trend's, don't get jealous unnecessarily, pray to GOD Almighty, eat whatever you have with joy, drink water and mind your business.

On a final note, we came with nothing, we are all going back with nothing.

Blacks are just cursed souls.

You only understand this when you live amongst whites

Senators Put Under Pressure By Tinubu Presidency To Pass 2024 Budget Without Scrutiny –Source


https://saharareporters.com/2023/12/05/senators-put-under-pressure-tinubu-presidency-pass-2024-budget-without-scrutiny-source

This idiot of a president is just a joke.

His own kind of smartness is just cutting corners and shaddy deals.

i want to go back to school
to study law
ive always wanted to do this but felt i would be too old
as of last year, ive seen a lot of older people graduating or in law school
rotimi amaechi is an example

which private university can i go to, and still live off campus with my family
i am in rivers state
i am excluding RSU and Uniport,
i would want to carry out this endeavour without delay from ASUU strikes

any suggestions?

Because you now see Tinibu they doll out billions to lawyers now, you want cash out. 😆
The truth is, education in Nigeria is a joke 😃

KingKO22:
Asiwaju is a leader who believe in vigorous economy marketing to the developed nations and o believe this will start yielding immensely soon

He did it in Lagos and will replicate it in Nigeria


This I believe

Did you know Lagos was former capital of Nigeria and had been a big economic hub of nigeria even before Tinibu was born?
What does he need 1,400 persons to do at a Conference?
Do you know how much it's going to cost Nigeria to sponsor such community of delegates?
Come on, this is beyond defending.
What has he done to show he has started the foundation to rebuilding Nigeria?
This is annoying

psalmsjob:
I'm posting this as a response to the topic that made Nairaland front page yesterday; "See What Someone Bought With An Hour Minimum Wage In The UK £10", the link: https://www.nairaland.com/7929193/see-what-someone-bought-hour

UK & US ARE OVER-RATED NIGERIA IS STILL BETTER in terms of cost of living see a practical example why doing a price comparison: 1 pound to 1 naira today is N1,001 so are you saying with £10 x N1,001 = N10,001 you cannot buy everything in that basket and collect change in Nigeria today?

1 Sliced Bread = N800
2 Spaghetti = N1400
1 Gesha = N600
1 live chicken = N3,000
1 75cl soya Oil = N1,400
1 Midium size Butter = N600
2 Gino Tomato paste = N1,000

Total = N8,800 so your change is N1,200 that's if you exchange pound to naira at offical rate and buying at the most expensive stores or high brands. If you exchange at black market rate and buy at public market "days" you will collect as much as N6,000 after buying everything in that basket....that's about £6 left.

LET'S JUST THANK GOD FOR WHAT WE HAVE AND STOP LOOKING AT AND GLORIFYING ANOTHER MAN'S LAND MORE THAN OUR OWN....OUR OWN NA OUR OWN O

You must be high on some village junk drugs. 😆 🤣
Most of you go just dey one village in Nigeria talking crap.
Minimum wage is the least amount you can pay a worker per hour job.
For instance in my state, the minimum wage is $13.65. Mind you, no job pays this little, if not nobody will work that job.
So one works 8 hours a day, that's $109.2 which is #125,580. A day.
How many persons in Nigeria fit make at least #125k a day at any job?
How many persons makes 10k naira a day at their job?
Mind you, 10 dollars is nothing to most Americans
People go get lunch for like $15 - $20.
That's on a normal daily
How many Nigerians fit spend 15 _20k every lunch? Daily
Whoever tells you you are better in Nigeria is your greatest enemy. Trust .me
Please it's madness to compare America to Nigeria in anything. Please 🙏 I beg you. Dont
No be for Nigeria person dey snap pic for restaurant to show off the food wey him dey chop, even Celebrities?
Person dey use champagne dey boast?
Guy, you don't do those here, homeless drug addicts on the streets can afford those comfortably.

Pakute:
Who is Galambi again?. It's high time DSS started picking up nonentities.
Nigeria opposition is proving to be a congregation of the most intellectually lazy people in the world. These are the same ratheads that would quickly point to US, UK, Canada,etc when they talk but do you see the President or PrimeMinister of an advanced country going to the legislative assembly with boxes or trailer of papers to present budget?. With flash drive, you could easily print out the budget details for each lawmaker. And that's the innovation Jagaban is introducing to end the archaic system of budget boxes. Nigeria's opposition are too backward thinking, everything na to dey open mouth dey wail, no sense.

The tradition has been, to present the budget with details in paper inside a box.
If he had it on flash, why then did he still do the tradition by carrying the box and pretending the copies were inside the box?
Why didnt he just had the flash alone, or say it from there that the document is on flash?
The evil you support today, will consume you tomorrow.
I assure you one thing, this Tinibu govt will come to your door step and favor you soon...

Zooposki:
Almost a billion dollars everyday. That is about $365 billion dollars a year and we are called the poverty capital of the world? Make it make sense.

According to WHO definifition of poverty, living below $2 a day. How many of them can afford complete 2k plus every day as money wey enter their hand?
These 65 million, most bet with at most 200 naira their last cash, hoping to win 100 million.
So how are they not poor?
Multiply 65 million by 200, that's what confuses you

SmartyPants:
What you sre saying is what he said. But for some reason you people cant read.

The airline initially lied that it was due to bad weather. Keyamo is exposing them.

Come on!

Nobody cares to read dumb things coming from nigeria, they are all crap and annoying.
I just read headlines.
So the headline is deceiving..
Trust me nothing about nigeria news is inspiring, educative and worth spe ding time reading.

N3TRAL:
Nigeria is a joke.

The country is a mess.

Damn. The black man is a universal disgrace.

With the proliferation of Bet Naija, Bet King, Sportybet, MSsport , 1x Bet , Lotto companies, etc across every nook and cranny of the country, the commission should be declaring billions in profit.

If Niger Delta did not have oil, how would Nigeria survive?

If you understand the implication of the news on this thread, you must be ashamed and depressed to be Nigerian.

Truly there is something fu damentaly wrong with a Blackman

Is this Keyamo an idiot or something?

Plane no be car naa, the plane carry something wry go suppose direct the pilot where to go.
They must have as a result of incompetence giving the pilot wrong destination or they are just plain idiots

plaindealer:
Ogun state alone generated more IGR than the top 3 states in the SE combined.

WOW!!!!

Common on Nigerians.
Always chasing rats when your house is on fire

The concerns should be, where are these monies going into because non of these states can show for these monies.
All the states in Nigeria look filthy and with no infrastructures

Thundafireseun:
Oga sir I’m a Christian from Asaba delta state… I don’t understand what you mean by religion and tribalism here …

CSU has Released Tinubu’s result

Supreme Court has cleared him of forgery of results meanwhile you and Aisha Yusuf want Tinubu to leave governance and be visiting primary schools very soon you will want him to visit the hospital where he was born …..

Not interested in his dumb cert. Interested in his actions as a president now which affects most of you guys negatively. Again, read what I wrote and think 🤔.
What has the man done to show he has your interest at heart and that he is moving the nation forward.
Mind you, i have left the god forsaken country long time ago

Omenlon:
why all these lamentations? If you are tired of Nigeria you can relocate to Afghanistan or Somalia. So should turn Nigeria to your Eldorado within one year,abi? People like you will steal the nation blind if given the opportunity. How clean are you?

I am not in Nigeria.
I left the useless godforsaken country long ago when I knew with nigeria having voters like you, she won't make any headway.
Trust me, I pity you guys there a lot because the future is bleak for Nigeria

Thundafireseun:
Stale news …. Aisha Yesufu The earlier you realize that you are not in the same league with Tinubu the better for you and your entire family

The ship has sailed past certificate … What President Tinubu needs now is our collective support and prayers

Meanwhile Tinubu has better things to do

Sometimes you guys should sit down, take sentiments, religion and tribalism aside and have a critical thinking and assessment of these politicians you defend.
They gift themselves cars worth billions. Spend billions on meals and renovation of their residents. Spent billions to go vacation and treatment abroad. Have their family enjoying life in US or Europe.
While they refuse to increase your wages, kill your income with inflation, deny you every good things of life including good Healthcare to the extent that when you get really sick, you run to the public to beg for help.
Yet you still want to pray and support them...
Come on......
Where is your brain.....?
I'm US or Europe, the people would be mad at them instead and shut the country down to demand good governance..
These politicians hate you guys and care nothing if all of una die

To be very honest with you, Tinibu has run out of ideas. Just to plan for 2027 is his agenda, you guys can go die for all he cares.
US and Europe werent built with prayers...

Sometime it seems Blackman is just dark at his heart as their color.. which is why all black nations are a mess..

2mch:
Trust you can never afford what they pay for electricity. Most people abroad can barely afford to eat because food has gone up over 100%. Cost of living crises is a global issue. My friend pays electricity bill of equivalent 200k a month for 2 bedroom flat.

Just calm down. Inflation doesnt bite as hard as the news make it seem in the Western world. Just that they are spoiled, so they complain about every little thing wey no mean anything. There are tons of opportunities wey go pay your bills comfortable without stress. $200 / £200 is nothing, trust me.
Mind you, i live in the US have wife and kids.talking from experience. We spent less than $1k a month in groceries, which is less than 1/10 of just my monthly income.
