 The Federal Government has declared Tuesday, July 20, and Wednesday, July 21, 2021, as public holidays to mark this year’s Eid-el-Kabir celebration.

This was disclosed in a statement by the permanent secretary, Shuaib Belgore, on Thursday in Abuja.

The Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola, who made the declaration on behalf of the Federal Government, congratulates all Muslim faithful and Nigerians at home and in the Diaspora on this occasion.

“I call on Muslims to continue to imbibe the spirit of love, peace, kindness, and sacrifice, as exemplified by the Holy Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon Him) and to also use the period to pray for peace, unity, prosperity, and the stability of the country, considering the challenges of insecurity we face at the moment. These mainly are bandits in the North West and North Central, insurgents in the North East, kidnappers, armed robbers, ethnic agitators, and sundry criminals in other parts of the country,” Mr Aregbesola added.

He assured that the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari is “committed to the security of lives and property of every Nigerian, empowering the citizens for successful living, the provisions of social investments programmes and adequate security in the schools, especially with the spate of innocent school children being targets of kidnapping,” he added.

Mr Aregbesola, while wishing Muslim faithful a happy Eid-el Kabir celebration, advised all Nigerians to take responsibility by reporting any suspicious individuals and criminal activities to law enforcement agencies, especially during this festival.

 It is a good thing to worship God and pray to the Almighty God  wholeheartedly.  My learning  and experience in theology made me understand that our major purpose on Earth is to worship God, and follow his commandments  which are meant for us as practical exercise to test our obedience and faith in existence of the Almighty God, and our relationship with him.  Who is Almighty God ? Almighty God is a supreme being, believing religiously that created the universe and the creatures. No body knows his real name or his beginning.  However, because of fear and faith people have for this unseen creature, they began to give him different titles and names based on their languages and understanding. Infact,In Western part of Nigeria, occupied by Yoruba ethnic group, some folks or traditional worshipers  had claimed that out of fear to talk to Almighty God directly , they chose  gods such as Obatala, Orunmila, Ifa, Osun , Sango etc, known as their asce...
