It’s been a while I was here... Guess I have been busy or maybe overwhelmed with happenings in the polity. Happy holiday to those it may concern, I’ll come back to that soonest.
The past few weeks have been awash with significant happenings; the ‘transmission drama’, declarations of June 12 as new democracy day, signing into law of the #NotTooYoungToRun bill after a notable last sentence in Mr President’s May 29th speech. I still haven’t found out if that is the official name of the bill as it is in the books, but who cares right? Declaration of candidacy for 2019 and the opening of party conventions and most recently the glamorous trip of Nigeria’s Super Eagles to Russia and the unfortunate loss of their first 2018 World Cup fixture to Croatia. Pretty interesting country I must say!
Well, today I have just a few sentences to write, and my emphasis is on religious tolerance. Religion in all its intent was to foster love, encourage unity, and deepen morals, unfortunately, a few have turned it to a ‘weapon of mass destruction’, turning brothers against themselves. As we celebrate, rest, or labor during this Muslim holiday; after one whole month of fast and prayer, we must resolve to love more, discard intolerance and respect one another’s beliefs... Evangelism must appeal to reason and not emotion, violence must be renounced in all its forms as a tool for religious advancement.
Let brotherly love continue!
