Effiong's name has been completely forgotten in the history of Biafra.

For many articles posted here and on other social media platforms late Colonel Effiong's name is nowhere among those who struggled for Biafra simply becos he wasn't from Igbo region. Only Ojukwu name they proclaimed.


May the soul of the late Colonel Effiong rest in perfect peace!

this is suppose to be sarcasm of some sort right?.

the same struggle Martin Luther King Jr. died for.

Now please ask specific questions. What I mean is are you saying the Bible quotations supplied are not helpful or you think it is a matter we can rationalize with our own mind?

God said don't eat blood. Do you believe that? And God explained in detail when giving the law: don't eat blood. Pour it into the dust when you happen to kill any animal to eat. Don't eat the blood. And he went further, blood should be used only for sacrifice as atonement.
All these laws where given before Jesus Christ came. God emphasized this law because he knew that such blood sacrifice was pointing to the all important sacrifice of his own son Jesus Christ. And so Christ's shedding of his perfect blood is the reason why we can maintain a righteous standing with God today.
So after Jesus had left for heaven, when the Apostles were writing to Gentiles who would later become Christians, they made it clear that God has commanded we abstain from blood. Blood cannot rightly be used as medicine. It is wrong. The only blood that saves life is the shed blood of Jesus Christ. Other than that any other use of blood is a violation of God's law. It takes Faith to keep this law, and that is the faith all true Christians must possess. Without faith, the Bible says, we cannot please God well, Heb 11:6.

Or do you think that blood transfusion does not amount to eating blood?
.

what exactly will a Jehovah witness medical tell a dying patient patient who may need blood transfusion to prolong his/her life?

Investnow2017:
Silverlines, I see. But have you really taken time to study the Bible to know why we JW take that position. Because come to think of it, we too are humans, we don't want to die. So for us to hold to that belief there must be a very very strong reason. You know what, Satan would do anything to make people work against God's purpose. So we are always very careful accepting any practice unless we are convinced such does not contravene God's law. But in the case of blood transfusion God's law is clear broken, hence we don't accept it.

I wrote this a while ago. You can read it please:

Well, Jehovah's Witnesses refusal to take blood transfusion is not so much because it is unsafe, it is because that practice contravenes God's law on the use of blood. God specifically commanded that his servants must not eat blood. Blood must not be misused. At Genesis chapter nine verse three and four, God was very clear - don't eat blood. Genesis 9:3,4.
When he gave the Mosaic law, he re-emphasized that the only proper use of blood is for atonement (sacrifice), that blood must not be eaten but should be poured into the dust if an animal was slaughtered to be eaten. Read Leviticus chapter 17:13-16
In the Christian era, it was again emphasised that Christians should abstain from blood. So how should Christians abstain from blood? When we considered God's law on how blood was to be handled or used we understood that we must not eat blood. Whether or not safe, Christians must abstain from blood transfusion. Blood Transfusion amounts to improper use of blood. Please read Acts chapter 15:28,29.

brother I'm not yet convince on this one

Poor quality

what part of hell are you coming from?

Investnow2017:
I enjoyed your experience with the JW. If I may ask, what is really the issue at stake at point No. 5? Is it No Blood Transfusion?
.

yes

Blood transfusion saves lives

Once a medical doctor narrated on this forum that a woman who was on her labour, but need a blood transfusion to saves her life on cesarean delivery her husband rejected the blood transfusion and the woman died when there was no alternative.

In every other doctrines and beliefs of the Jehovah witnesses I will agree.

But the blood transfusion, that I rejected

Myth: Jehovah's Witnesses do not believe in heaven.
Apparently, this is not a new saying as people tend to say what they might have heard about the Witnesses not scrutinizing them whether or not they are truth.

.
Truth: Jehovah's Witnesses believe in heaven as the residence of the Creator of the Universe.
.
2. Myth: Jehovah's Witnesses do not believe in hell.
.
Truth: This is where people misunderstand themselves. Jehovah's Witnesses believe 'Hell' is the common grave of mankind. Witnesses do not believe in 'hell fire' as it is unbiblical, unless you'll show me where the original sinners -- Adam and Eve -- went to 'hell fire.'
.
3.
Myth: Jehovah's Witnesses do not celebrate anything.
.
Truth: If you mean holidays like birthdays, Christmas etc., of course yes. Think: what is the relevance of Santa Claus in the bible? Do they or not have pagan origins? In fact, Witnesses commemorate the Death of Jesus as Jesus asked his disciples to do.
.
4. Myth: Jehovah's Witness do not speak in tongues.
.
Truth: Well, Jehovah's Witnesses speak many languages as they come from differing lands but do not involve in the ecstatic speaking performed today by religious leaders. The first century Christians who received the gift used it to preach to people (as the early congregants were filled with people from many lands), so they spoke a language and all who heard understood. Note: To preach. Is that what is done today? Don't throw caution to the wind.

.
5. Myth: Jehovah's Witnesses do not do blood transfusions and are wicked to see their loved one die.
.
Truth: Witnesses put much faith in doing God's will. Sorry to disappoint you, they love their children and loved ones. In fact, medical practitioners agree that it is not safe either, and no guarantee of living well or surviving as no blood samples really match another. Besides, there are other non-blood media. Coming to think of it, Witnesses put faith in the resurrection. Yes, so why worry of this wicked world?

Nice one Op but I will never agreed with you on the fifth.

I love Jehovah witnesses cos they preach the truth gospel. In fact they open my eyes to many things and above all they are so humble.

There's this elderly man that do preach and conduct Bible lessons with me years ago in my former resident. This man is a retired principal and wealthy with grown up educated children but he was so meek and kind to me even when I was nothing then. Some day he came around and we had discussion from the Bible with my little hand book what does the Bible teach, so after the discussion he promised to bring me another handbook that very day. Immediately this man left the cloud change the sky was dark accompanied with heavy rain which lasted through the remaining hours of the day. Behold I couldn't believe what I saw, what I saw pang me to my very unrepentant soul; I heard someone calling my name from the outside the gate I opened the door dash out to the balcony behold I saw this man was soaked under the rain and I pick up umbrella rush to him, he handed to me the small kind of texts book and I asked why he couldn't wait he replied that he made a promise to bring me the book that very day and have fulfilled his promise, I couldn't believe such integrity. I felt like Zacchaeus whom Jesus visited. From then till now I doesn't joke with Jehovah witnesses anywhere I see them, most times I attended their meetings.

Air peace is making it bigger

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is the most common degenerative disease of the motor neuron system. Although ALS is incurable and fatal, with median survival of 3 years, treatment can extend the length and meaningful quality of life for patients

Diagnosis and treatment
The diagnosis of ALS is primarily clinical. Electrodiagnostic testing contributes to the diagnostic accuracy. Making a diagnosis is important to patients and families, allowing them to stop the search for alternative causes of a patient's disability and to focus their attention on treatment.

One thing man must consider before taking action should be the consequences of such actions he is about to take

The idiott police man didn't think these will be the outcome.

I support the wife's action, her husband is a beast which should be kill by acid

Hello Guys

My compound has four 2 Bedroom flats and a single mini flat. I stay in the mini flat, we all use the same junction box. The man that stays in flat 3 brought an electrician to fix a fault in his apartment, the electrician works on the junction box and "mistakenly" tampered with my own unit which resulted in a power surge in my apartment. I wasn't around when the work was done because I work 8am-6pm, so I leave house early and entered late. when I came back from work there was no light, so I was running on gen, when light came, I switch over and everything that was on went booom. The following items got damaged: compressor of my Panasonic AC of 1.5hp, Thermocool fridge of 160litre, LG TV 43 inches, LG sound-bar, Bluegate stabilizer 5000kva , DSTV decoder and my PS4 slim all got damaged including little appliances like phone charges, power guard, extension boxes etc

My neighbor said he's not responsible for the incident, he didn't even say sorry, instead he called the electrician a slowpoke and said many silly things, he keeps blaming the electrician and failed to realize that he's the one that called the electrician which damaged my properties, I have never seen such an highly unreasonable fellow before. I already informed the landlord but he pleaded with me to let go. I really want to call the police on him tomorrow but I'm just thinking if I'm going too far.

the landlord must be insane.

Bro the damage is too much. Call the police arrest both him and the electrician

They must pay for the damage.

Some people na too much ego will kill them

Wickedness

I wonder a kind of crime someone will commit to deserve such evil in return.

It is very horrible.

The Ghanian government should assist her for surgery abeg.

Churches should employ security officers and CCTV cameras please

This is so barbaric.

If security officers were there this couldn't have happened.

From this day I renounce myself that I shall no longer in support of Biafra struggle nor support anything thereof in related to the same quest.

Gundel001:
Hi good day my fellow Nairalander please I will really need your experience about this issue. Please help me read to the end as it is a little bit long.

My junior brother is 14 years old and to be sincere I haven’t seen anybody as dull as him. I don’t know if it is natural but I just can’t understand why someone at that age could still be struggling with very simple arithmetic. My brother can’t write 1 – 150 correctly at 14.

He seems too dull; note he attends one of the best private school around our area, though I know you might say maybe education is not his way but even if you want to drop out from school you should know some basic things like money, time, multiplication and so on but my brother doesn’t know anything I must say, even to write his name correctly is a problem. It is making everyone unhappy lot of money is being spent on lesson teachers and other things for him still no improvement.

I am a student of one of the top federal University in Nigeria same as my other siblings even at both secondary and undergraduate level we were always above average so I can’t say his problem is genetic. I really wants to know what is the problem with him nairalanders. After I finished secondary school I once taught some pupils in primary school though there were dull ones too there but with time I could see improvement unlike my brother i always try to teach him from time to time but it kind of frustrating as he doesn’t even seems like he will ever grab anything and he doesn’t behave like he wants to learn anything.

He makes it seems as if he is not interested book or arithmetic at all …we all tried talking to him endless time to always read any time he his less busy but he never does except he is being forced.

He rarely talks, he loves to keep to himself always, he doesn’t have interest in anything unlike we the others that are die hard football fans, most times my mom will tell him to even go out to play and mingle he will not still want to go, he prefer to stay at home seating all day without reading or doing anything, even if it is to draw or play football he wont.

This matter is not making everyone happy at home we don’t even know the solution to his problem again, as in imagine having a child that is 14 years old that doesn’t know the difference between 17 and 71 it is just so bad…..

We don’t know if his case is mental or spiritual. please nairalanders I know there are child experts in the house or anybody who have experienced something like this before what do you think is the problem and possible solutions to the problem your contributions are welcome.

Please help me push this pleaseeeeee

that boy will surprise everyone of you when we will come out of the university with first class.

Put today's date on record. Don't look down on him and don't get tired of him. Keep working he will get better.

This not funny

I pray we never find ourselves in such situations.

Amen
