Jehovah’s Witnesses Mark 100 Years Of Preaching In Nigeria
Jehovah’s Witnesses in Nigeria recently held two special events to mark 100 years of their Bible education work.
On Sunday, December 12, 2021, all congregations of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Nigeria were invited to view a special prerecorded programme featuring talks and interviews regarding the history of the preaching work in the country.
The programme was streamed to viewers in Efik, English, Igbo, Nigerian sign language, Pidgin, and Yoruba languages.
Earlier, on Friday, December 10, 2021, they opened a special museum exhibition at their branch office.
The exhibition tape was cut by 91-year-old Albert Olih who has been preaching for nearly 74 years.
The exhibition, entitled ‘100 Years of Courage’, tells the exciting story of bold preaching and strong faith. It highlights that Witnesses in Nigeria demonstrated courage despite publication bans, public ridicule, and a brutal civil war.
