Christians all over the world mark the Easter festivals, Delta State Governor Ifeanyi Okowa has urged Nigerians and Deltans to show love for one another.

He equally told them to be willing to make sacrifices for greater unity, peace, political stability and progress of our beloved country.

Governor Okowa, in an Easter message signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Charles Aniagwu, in Asaba on Friday, called on Nigerians and Deltans to seize the opportunity of the Easter holiday to reflect deeply on what more they need to do as a people, to ensure that they live peacefully with one another in our vquest for a better future for all citizens and residents in the country.

“As Christians, we must reflect on the import of Easter celebrations in our dealings, not only with other Christians, but with people of other religions,” stressing “we must eschew bitterness and all forms of violence, because the progress, peace and security of the nation is anchored on good neighborliness and peaceful co-existence among Nigerians.”

The governor, who solicited for continuous support of the people said, “if we live peacefully with one another we will not be confronted with issues of armed banditry, herdsmen attacks, kidnapping and other vices threatening the soul of our great nation. I urge you all to let the significance of the celebration reflect in our relationship with one another both Christians and the people of other religions. There is no doubt that these are tough times in our country,” he stated.

He reminded Christians that having gone through forty days of fasting and praying, Easter was a better time for them to purge themselves of those weights that “have impeded our progress as a people over the years by demonstrating love in its fullness not only to one another but also to our society.”

The Governor enjoined Christian faithful and Nigerians in general to extend the spiritual benefits of Easter, which are love, peace, justice, sacrifice and kindness to their daily living, and through this contribute to the unity and peaceful co-existence among Nigerians.

“The major lesson of Easter is for us as Christians, to rethink the reality of our faith. As Christians, we should continue to uphold the principles of our faith as it relates to honesty, justice, integrity, accountability, compassion, selflessness and the pursuit of the common good,” he added.

FTC. Happy Easter.

I'd like to thank the GODS of my ancestors and the blessings of my parents for helping me reach this position in life. I also pray that Nigeria discards islam and christianity and returns to the diverse Traditional Tribal faiths & Spiritual Traditions of our ancestors (Peace be Upon Them).

Christianity and Islam can never bring love and peace to Nigeria. These are middle -eastern abrahamic cult groups and you have seen peaceful and loving the middle east Is. We have the seen effects of these propaganda for the last 100 years of our history. Nigeria needs to return to the nature based worship of our ancestors.

Peaceful Co-existence is something the middle eastern abrahamic faiths have never understood nor applied. Their very foundations are based on conflict through proselytization. When one religion thinks its superior to another and when it abuses the practices and tenets of another faith, ridicules it, condemns its followers to die and burn in hell....what love and peaceful coexistence are we talking about? Once you preach on another man's turf , as your religious duty dictates, you are automatically inviting conflict upon thyself.

It is a myth. Let us be realistic please.



The celebration of foreign festivals deepens our bond to the shackles of foreign mental and spiritual inperialism.

The Reason why Nigeria is facing a crisis today is because the Gods are neglected and they are Angry.


The only true set of religions thay preach LOVE, TOLERANCE & PEACEFUL CO-EXISTENCE are the diverse African Traditional Religions of our forefathers.

A Pagan never preaches from the pulpit. A Pagan never condemns non believers to hell. A Pagan never disrespects someone else or calls him an infidel or a kafir just because he has a different belief system. We have been Loving Tolerant and Peaceful for long but our greed has driven us to seek the wrong pastures.



May the GODS guide us on the right path.

Happy Easter once again.

You are absolutely right bro

Oh chuwku Okike Abiama, I abeg of your mighty anger to destroy Nigeria and so called Nigerians that are killing your children you created as indigenous people of Biafra agitating for freedom of your kingdom on earth.



Let Biafrans go.

MyVILLAGEpeople:


You are absolutely right bro

Christians and Moslems are jihadists of their own. The only solution to peacefully conduct referendum for Biafra freedom.


Only Biafra freedom can bring peace to all. #HARDTRUTH.

Same line they have been using since independence
