Peter Obi’s point is not that Abacha was good. It is that the people who told us Abacha was bad are now doing what Abacha did.

EASTER IS THE DAWN OF A NEW CREATION Homily for Easter Vigil, Year A There is an old tale about a sculptor who bought a disfigured, rejected block of marble. While others saw only its brokenness, he saw beauty. Day after day, he worked patiently, chipping away, refining, reshaping. When asked what he was doing, he said: “I see an angel in the stone, and I’m setting it free.” This is what God does at Easter. In Christ’s Resurrection, God takes the disfigured, sin-stained creation and begins again - this time, never to be marred. Easter is the dawn of a new creation. The Liturgy of the Word of Easter Vigil begins with the story of creation (Genesis 1). “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth…” - and it was good. But sin introduced chaos, suffering, and death. Creation was fractured. The whole of salvation history which we will hear in the readings tonight - from Abraham’s covenant (Gen 22), through the Exodus (Ex 14), the Prophets (Isaiah, Baruch, Ezekiel) - is the story of a God who is not giving up on His world. And tonight, with the Resurrection, we reach the climax of that story. As we heard in Matthew 28:1-10, at dawn, the women went to the tomb. But the stone was rolled away. The body was not there. Why? Because Christ is risen. Just as God spoke creation into being, He now speaks new life into the tomb. The darkness of Good Friday gives way to the light of Easter morning. This is not the return of the old Jesus - this is something utterly new. In Matthew’s Gospel, we are told the Resurrection happened “on the first day of the week” (Matthew 28:1-3) That is not a throwaway detail. It mirrors the first day of creation in Genesis. In other words, Easter is the first day of the new creation. Just as Adam came from the garden, Jesus rises in a garden (John 20:15). The old Adam disobeyed God and brought death; the new Adam (Christ) obeys even unto death - and brings life (Romans 5:14-21). The tomb of Christ is not just a place of burial - it is a womb of rebirth. The Risen Jesus emerges, not merely restored, but glorified. In Romans 6:3-11, St. Paul tells us, “If we have been buried with Christ in baptism, we shall also rise with Him.” In the waters of baptism - which we bless tonight - we share in this new creation. Just as the Spirit hovered over the waters at creation, the Holy Spirit now breathes over the baptismal font to create new sons and daughters of God. The Paschal Candle lit tonight pierces the darkness. This light is not artificial - it symbolizes Christ, the Light of the World, who now illumines the new creation. When we sang the Exsultet, we declared: “This is the night… when Christ broke the prison-bars of death and rose victorious from the underworld.” What we witness at Easter is not just a miracle; it’s a cosmic event. The Risen Christ is the beginning of a new humanity, a new creation, a restored world. What does this mean for us? It means that no sin is too great, no darkness too deep. In Christ, you can start again. It means the old creation marked by despair, war, greed, division, and death is not the final word. It means our mission is to live and act as citizens of the new creation - people of forgiveness, mercy, joy, and resurrection hope. Through our baptism, we are no longer defined by the dust of the first Adam but by the Spirit of the Risen Christ. At the end of time, in Revelation 21:5, the Risen Jesus says: “Behold, I make all things new.” That work begins tonight. This Easter, do not just witness the Resurrection. Live it. Let Christ recreate your heart, your relationships, your home, your world. Tonight is not just the victory of Jesus. It is your victory. It is the Church’s new birthday. It is the new creation’s first sunrise. Let us rise with Christ. Let us walk as new men and women - children of the Resurrection. Alleluia! Christ is risen. Truly, He is risen. Alleluia! Fr.

God could have raised Jesus from the dead in 30 seconds. He is sovereign over time. Christ could have satisfied divine justice, breathed his last, and walked out of that tomb within the hour. The stone could have rolled away on Friday evening. There was no cosmic constraint forcing a three-day wait. God chose the silence. And that choice is itself a sermon. We so easily skip to Sunday because we’re a culture of spoilers. We treat Saturday like a commercial break. But to the disciples, it wasn't "Holy Saturday." It was just silence. It felt like the end. The tomb was sealed. The guards were posted. The disciples were scattered and weeping. From every observable angle, the story was over. Saturday was not dramatic, it was just quiet. And that silence felt like the verdict. But God’s silence is never his absence. This is one of his most consistent signatures across Scripture. Joseph rotted in an Egyptian prison for years between the dream and the throne. Israel spent four centuries under Pharaoh’s whip between the covenant and the exodus. Lazarus lay four days dead while Jesus, who had heard the news and deliberately waited, finally arrived to a grieving family asking why he had not come sooner. The pattern is unbroken, God operates in the gap between promise and fulfillment, and that gap while appearing like inactivity, is actually just invisibility. The three day wait was not a concession to time, it was a proclamation through time. In the ancient world, day three was the threshold of undeniable death. A 30-second resurrection looks like a medical fluke. A day-three resurrection slams the door. It proves the grave was truly locked before God kicked it open. And the timing was prophetic to the letter, the sign of Jonah, the temple rebuilt in three days, Isaiah’s suffering servant assigned a grave. God does not cancel his own word. He fulfills it down to the schedule. Interestingly, the disciples did not know Sunday was coming. They lived Saturday as though it were permanent. Friday seemed like the final act to them. And that is exactly where many of us are right now. You received a word, a promise, a vision and then everything went quiet. You are living in Saturday, and Saturday feels like the story is over. It is not over. God’s activity and God’s visibility are not the same thing. What looks like a sealed tomb from the outside can be, from eternity’s vantage point, the most active moment in the history of your life. The enemy’s most determined act of sealing always becomes God’s most glorious setup for opening. The silence is not the verdict, it is gestation. The waiting of Saturday has a shape. The silence has a purpose. And when God breaks it, He doesn’t just answer your question, He swallows it whole. Sunday is coming. Hold on through Saturday.

"Tinubu in Jos Confirms ‘Don't Vote for Me’ Prediction on Power Supply During the 2023 campaign, President Tinubu made a clear electoral promise: “If I don’t give you constant electricity in four years, don’t vote for me for a second term.” When he took office in 2023, Nigeria had a power supply of over 4,000 megawatts and lower tariffs. Today, the electricity power supply is less than 4,000 megawatts on the average, and Nigerians are paying higher tariffs. Nigeria currently has the lowest per capita electricity consumption in the world, with a rate below 30% of the African average. Africa’s average is 617kwh, Nigeria’s is 144 kWh. This means that Nigerians consume least electricity than other Africans. In a glaring display of disregard for promises and a lack of trust, President Tinubu, during a brief airport stopover to visit grieving families of the Jos attack on Thursday, April 2, 2026, stated that one of the reasons for his 10-minute stay was that the airport had no electricity. “You have no light here I fly out in ten minutes” At a time when Nigerians are enduring days without power, our leaders cannot even stay a few minutes without it. Now is the time to stop incompetent leaders—those lacking the capacity and compassion—who prioritise their own comfort over the well-being of the people and make empty promises. A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO"
