Over here some congregations meet in small groups. Like my congregation of about 38 publishers was divided into 7 groups. This is the case because most of the publishers do not have smart phones and the Internet is not so strong to host a zoom meeting. But because of the curfew even those small group meetings where canceled and publishers were asked to review the meeting parts as a family. 

so sorry to hear about your situation.im optimistic that things will soon get better.several states are now declaring curfew to bring the situation under control.kindly do all you can to stay stafe.

Protest of this sort were unheard of in Nigeria but now they are happening before our eyes.

i think the reason is obvious,the world has become a global village.ideas spread very fast in today's world due to improved technology and transport and computers.people today easily see  what is happening in other places live and direct at just the push of a button.

 

what i see this leading to, is a world that will eventually begin to boast of peace and security since people now belief that they have found a way to tame corrupt government and achieve a better  society which is by the way of mass protest.to a good extent,this is working, as no government want to be seen in the international community as being currupt or authoritative.and with  the international criminal court of justice,governments are learning to become more careful with the violation of  human rights.at a time the nigerian president was noticed to  have summarized the situation of the government in today's closely  knitted world when he reminded the house of  senate that the world is watching us.
