Thanks Rev Pattison, the chapel was roofed in August and services have started inside already while we believe God for the interior work and others.

Dear Semper. Thank you for your email. I’m sad to know that you are not happy with the “rank” system that the BB has adopted. Of course, it’s origin is from the Church where protection was given to those who gave service to it (going back in history) and the origin of the chevron (or V) represents the shape of the roof support in ancient Churches. Apart from that, I cannot see any other military features, except for the “discipline and obedience and self-respect” part of the BB Object has through team-building activities such as drill, band and doing things right. The primary purpose of the BB is to be a part of the local congregation and community and to work in “advancing Christ’s Kingdom” and I am confident that the BB in Nigeria and throughout the World is doing just that. It was indeed unfortunate that maybe the enthusiasm of the Officers paid not much detail to time on that occasion which upset a few people. I’m sure that they are willing to learn from that experience and that you will be influential with Tope in preventing a repitition. I hope that you and your readers will be supportive in this area of Christian youth work and can help to build on the Christian values that we share. Sorry to “hog the blog” and send greetings from Bath, England, UK. Maybe you could have a BB Blog??

I am glad that this has been a point of contact and sorry that a shadow of suspicion was cast.
The purpose of this blog is not to be a service for Boy’s Brigade. I am actually uncomfortable with the copying of military features in BB and the way the ranking and promotion system works.
The way the Officers took over the meeting and prolonged it so long seemed unfair to the church and then the children had to stand in the sun for a long time.

Sorry about all the confusion. It’s just that there’s a lot of information out there (or there WAS a lot of information out there!) and all of a sudden it disappeared! Where is the BB Nigeria web site now? It was there one minute and gone the next! I sent emails to Tope but none were replied to! Anyway, it would be really good if someone would be so kind as to direct me to the Official BB Nigeria Web Site so I (and others in the UK) could see what’s going on! I hope that BB Nigeria is going from strength to strength and that the BB Object is fully embraced by all! More articles on this wordpress website would be good!!
God Bless BB Nigeria, it’s Officers, Helpers, BOYS and the Churches that use BB as it’s main youth outreach!
