A day when Christians around the world remember the crucifixion โ the brutal death of an innocent man. Betrayed, mocked, and nailed to a cross, Jesus Christ bore the weight of sin not his own. He died so others could live.
And as we reflect on this solemn day, we must ask: what is Nigeria carrying on her own cross?
Nigeria too has been nailed โ not by Roman soldiers, but by corruption, injustice, insecurity, tribalism, and failed leadership.
She hangs, bloodied and weary, while those responsible cast lots for her garments โ sharing oil profits, stolen mandates, and unearned privileges.
We are a nation of Good Fridays.
We have watched education crucified on the altar of strikes.
We have seen healthcare pierced with the spear of underfunding.
We have witnessed young dreams buried under unemployment and despair.
We have heard the last cries of the innocent โ from train stations to village roads โ all silenced in a country that no longer mourns deeply.
And like the crowd at Calvary, weโve grown used to the spectacle of death.
๐๐๐ญ… ๐๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ซ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐๐จ๐ฆ๐ข๐ง๐ .
And with it, the hope of resurrection.
But hope without action is a dead gospel.
Will Nigeria rise again?
Not unless we rise.
Not unless we reject Judas politics, Pilate neutrality, and Pharisee hypocrisy.
Not unless we stop washing our hands and start raising our voices.
The stone of silence must be rolled away.
The tomb of fear must be opened.
And the Nigeria we buried in promises must walk again in truth.
This Easter, don’t just wear white and shout โHe is risen.โ
Ask yourself: Can Nigeria rise too?
Because right now, she still hangs on the cross โ bleeding, broken, and waiting for resurrection.
