As part of the efforts to promote peaceful coexistence among Christians and Muslims, the followers of the two major religions in Kaduna joined hands together to celebrate Eid-el- Maulud.
The occasion was organised by Revival for Peace and Reconciliation Movement of Nigeria under the leadership of Pastor Yuhana Buru.
Speaking during the occasion, village Head of Tudun Nufawa,Dr Yusuf Nadabo called on Muslims and Christians to come together and live in peace and harmony.
He said the best way to attain peace was for people to avoid rumours and hatred against one another.
"We have to find a way to stop spreading rumours against each other. This hatred and crisis between Muslims and Christians must stop so as to have peace in our society," he said.
The traditional ruler also called on the organisers of the event to ensure that they passed the message of peace to the grassroots, saying the people there need to understand the gospel of peace.
He therefore commended the organisers for joining Muslims to celebrate the prophet's birthday who he described as father of civilisation.
In his remarks, Pastor Yuhana Buru said his movement had dedicated this year to pass on the message of peace among Muslims and Christians.
"I will not want to deceive Muslims because God said I should live in peace with Muslims. Bible teaches me on the need to live in peace with others. It teaches me to love for others what I love for myself, not even to Muslims alone but to pagans also," he said.
According to the pastor, research made him to understand that prophet Muhammad is a messenger of God which Muslims worldwide should emulate.
"So I must respect him for who he was and that is why I feel we need to join Muslims to celebrate him," he said.

ReplyDeleteInternally, Ce hw we only claimed to be religious, moral, decent, discipline, educated, learned & civilized, if we are not clearly deceiving ourselves, I challenge Nigerians in particular & the world in general dat if we are not worshippers of devil & demons then we shld prove it wrong & completely ban & with hard laws on jst some of this evil things inimical to our society causing societal menace such as hard drugs (Indian hemp, cocaine etc), hard alcoholism along the varying energy drinks & it associates etc. & capital punishment on corruption & remove impunity. Do we know hw deadly is corruption & its attendant problems? Corruption is a silent killer, fast in killing many lives in silent & an economy. Or is dia any religion or any moral value or education in support of it? Yet we acclaim to one religion or the other to ourselves or we easily said we are moral, educated, discipline & all sort. Are we been jst to ourselves? Dis the root of our problems & we shld stop round abouting it. See hw we are wronging ourselves. If it continue as it dominate & we fail or presume to get it, is den a clear indications of clear devil & demons worshipping & of all our claims dat head any society towards a critical danger zone. The reality is that no gain, no gud but jst an illusion of a mere mirage if the right thing is not done, we still be waking each time & meet reality waiting. An aggregation of the whole made the world scientists, engineers & technologists as all “other smart ways” failed to resort for making an “alternative earth” the mars habitable, have we still make a headway or has it been achieved or we already in the mars planet? & wait, we are waiting…
