Oh, what a day it was in the bustling Yaba district of Lagos! The streets were alive with color and joy as worshippers from the St. Dominic Catholic Church came together to mark Good Friday on April 7, 2023. Amidst the challenges facing the nation, the day served as a reminder of the importance of hope, sacrifice, and working together for a brighter future. But you know what they say, you’ve got to be willing to walk the walk, so a procession it was!

Don’t worry though, the St. Dominic Church gang weren’t alone in this journey of reflection and growth. Leaders from all over Nigeria, including our very own governors, have been spreading messages of inspiration like butter on toast. Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State chimed in, encouraging the people to consider the challenges they face, and embrace the notion of sacrifice and teamwork for the betterment of the nation and future generations. Now that’s a cause we can all get behind!

If you’re sitting there thinking, “Gee, that sounds great, but how can we possibly make this happen?”, fear not, friends! Reverend Emmanuel Nwaji from Grace Methodist Church in Umuahia, Abia State has got your back. He preached in his sermon that despite the odds, economic crunch, and that pesky naira scarcity we’re all dealing with, the answer is simple – prayer. That’s right, Rev. Nwaji believes that with a little faith and a whole lot of talking to the Big Guy upstairs, we can open the doors to a prosperous and united nation. Can I get an amen?

So whether you’re walking in a Good Friday procession or just trying to make sense of the world around you, let’s remember that the spirit of sacrifice, hope, and unity will get us through even the toughest of times. Let’s work together, people, and make Nigeria the nation it deserves to be! And hey, don’t forget to say a little prayer while you’re at it. Who knows what miracles might come our way?
