It’s time to renew hope and faith in our country
As Christians all over the world today mark Easter, rejoicing over the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, Nigerians must resolve to imbibe the ideals that speak to the season. With our country increasingly torn apart by hate, violence and all manner of social strains, our streets and alleyways are now overrun by kidnappers, bandits, hired assassins, armed robbers and sundry assortments of trouble makers. More than at any period in our recent history, this Easter season offers a unique opportunity to identify the enduring values on which to build a new order of justice, service, peace, respect for human dignity and mutual understanding.
