A brother from Nigeria gave a talk in our congregation. He mention that is hard to letter write and phone witnessing too. They contacting friends and family there too. I think he mention that they are printing every three weeks and some branches are not printing at all, plus they have some 500 languages in their branch. Despite the virus, they are doing the best they can.

I don't know where the brother currently lives, but I can't confirm if his words are factual. While it's true that some are finding the transition to letter writing hard, like it is for most countries, the brothers are adapting well to changing circumstances. And "some branches?" There is only the main branch for bethelites and the printery branch, that's all. And yes, true, there are many local dialects in Nigeria.

 

However, most Nigerians speak a common language called "pidgin," and there are congregations arranged for it, and will probably exceed English-congregations due to its speed. So, language isn't really an issue.
