    Alaafin of Oyo Preaches Tolerance, Charity at Eid-el- Fitr

    Alaafin of Oyo,  Oba Abimbola Owoade, has admonished Nigerians to imbibe the virtues of tolerance, understanding and good neighbourliness as the baseline of transforming the country, heal our relationships, and give us the polity of our dreams.

    He also called for rededication, not only to the Creator but also to the cause of mankind, appreciate the gift of life and imbibe the virtues of tolerance, and contentment.

    In a message by the Director of Media and Publicity to the Alaafin, Bode Durojaiye, to the Muslims in commemoration of this year’s Eid-el-Fitri festival, Oba Owoade said, total submission to the will and command of Allah symbolizes genuine obedience, which is the basic essence of the festival.

    More importantly, he said, it is a period that calls for caring for the less privileged of our society.

    The statement reads: ‘’If we sincerely love in our hearts, governance would work, electoral reforms would be easier to accomplish, funds would be judiciously utilized for the good of the larger number, leadership would love and cherish the led. That is the essence of the festival, which I recommend to all Nigerians, indeed, to all humanity, at this time.

    ‘’Love that considers others first, prefers others above personal and selfish desires, and which seeks to emancipate, unshackle and liberate.

    “Indeed, the timing of the festival this year could not have been more auspicious, given that the economy is in recession with all the attendant implications for millions of Nigerians.

    “What that suggests is that the socio-economic condition of most Nigerians this year makes it compelling for adherents of Islam to look beyond themselves and their immediate environment, especially in this holy seaso

    “The lessons of Eid-el-Fitri are simple: by paying attention to the plight of the poor, we invariably place the welfare of our neighbours as important as ours; by allowing others to partake of our wealth or material possessions, we honour the One (God) who made the provision in the first place.”

    This, the Paramount Ruler asserted, happens to be at the heart of all religions, but a virtue that is particularly at the heart of this festival.

    ‘’It is important not to lose sight of the true meaning of this special occasion and the spirit of sacrifice it represents. With millions of our compatriots now refugees in their own country, the significance of Eid,fitri this year cannot be over-emphasised.

    “The occasion should therefore go beyond merrymaking to sharing love and material possessions not only with relatives or acquaintances, but also with the displaced, the elderly, the orphans and other people at the margin of the society, including those with special needs. It is also important that Nigerians begin to embrace and support charitable causes’,’ Oba Owoade submitted.
