The Ultimate Humanitarian, The Passionate Love, The Maximum Sacrifice.

There is so many rituals in christiandom but for me Easter stands out because of the symbolism of its celebration, the message it instills in us and the simple way it provides solutions to all our problems.

We are dust and dust we shall return, Every human and God born of flesh must surely loose it someday. Its just a matter of when so please tread with caution and never forget to be Happy.

The symbolism of the death of Jesus Christ is telling us that as humans its obligatory that we solve our problems humanly, God chose to be human to save humans telling us that we humans have the destiny of our specie in our palms, yes of course he paid the maximum price at the cross and we are saved but that's not just it, being saved from the gods wrath is different from saving our world from overbearing and insatiability of human nature, man's greatest problem has always been fellow man and God gave us the light on how to remedy this self inflicted doom "Little Sacrifice" Just help humanity with a little fraction of what humanity have offered you on a platter of gold.

It really beclouds my imagination and sensibilities why our economically top 1% keeps on accumulating wealth and stampeding any germinating vegetable. Their self centeredness is at best unexplainable and at worst wickedness cloned in stupidity, they seem to forget that their current status either emanated from exploration of human and material resources that humanity made available or exploitation of same at which case is a result them being humans. Please its no longer a matter of rightfulness or wrongfulness of your wealth, we have all conceded that since you are the one that amassed it, its yours but please give back to the society, give back to humanity even if its 5-10% of your earnings empower people, invest in people, invest in humanity. Stop dreaming of becoming the only iroko tree in your forest because sooner than later the weeds will wither away and you might find yourself in a desert as a result of your dispositions and the wind won't spare your branches either, remembered dust we are and dust we shall return.

Our religious leaders are not spared in this indefensible material aggrandizement, I followed with keenness coined in bewilderment the recent debate and outbursts about tithe both on social and print medias and am not here to pass verdict but I don't understand the insensitive reasonability in living an extreme luxurious life as a purported man of God when 95% of your members are living in abject poverty, why would you have private jets when there so many homeless congregants of yours, how could you build schools with congregants little contributions with the ones unable to contribute much working as Payless labourers believing they are working for the lord only for you to fix the tuition fee at what they can never afford, why would you as a man of God choose to pray for someone acutely sick instead providing resources for medical treatment but once you have headache you go for medical checkup and treatment. Hypocrisy is the most unholy of all sins and religious leaders is the second greatest enemy of Nigeria after politicians.

I don't want to talk about politicians for their thought might corrupt my Easter celebration but I hope we could effect a change come 2019.
For this easter celebration am calling on us from all walks of life to emulate Jesus by sacrificing a little of our resources and time to provide succour and relive to those that need it more than we do. Remember dust we are and dust we shall return.

HAPPY EASTER BELOVED
