He stated that Easter is a period of solemn reminder of immense love and selflessness as demonstrated by Jesus Christ, rather than just festivities and joyous gatherings.
He encouraged individuals to emulate Christ’s virtues of compassion, forgiveness, and unwavering faith during this season of renewal and rebirth.
Chief Onuokaibe highlighted that the feast extends beyond historical events to practical application in daily lives, where selflessness and love for others are paramount, thus, urging for unity and collective prayer among the people of Mburubu for the betterment of their community, stressing the importance of seeking peace, prosperity, and positive transformation.

“EASTER MESSAGE TO CHRISTIANS ALL OVER THE WORLD AS WELL AS THE GOOD PEOPLE OF MBURUBU COMMUNITY IN NKANU EAST LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA OF ENUGU STATE.”
As we celebrate Easter this year, let us take a moment to reflect deeply on the life and sacrifices of our Lord Jesus Christ. Easter is not just a time for festivities and joyous gatherings; it is a solemn reminder of the immense love and selflessness demonstrated by Jesus through His crucifixion and resurrection. In this season of renewal and rebirth, let us emulate His compassion, forgiveness, and unwavering faith.
The essence of Easter lies not only in commemorating historical events but also in applying the teachings of Christ to our daily lives. Just as He sacrificed Himself for the salvation of humanity, let us strive to be selfless in our actions, showing love and kindness to those around us. This period serves as a poignant reminder that through faith and perseverance, we can overcome any challenges that come our way.
In the spirit of Easter, I urge the people of Mburubu to come together in prayer for the betterment of our community. Let us pray for unity, peace, and prosperity, lifting each other up in times of need and rejoicing together in times of blessings. Our faith and collective efforts can bring about positive change and transformation.
Furthermore, let us not forget to pray for the administration of Governor Peter Ndubuisi Mbah. May our prayers guide him in making wise decisions that benefit all residents of Enugu State. Together, we can support our leaders and work towards a brighter future for our beloved state.
During this Easter season, let us remember the words of Matthew 28:6, “He is not here; he has risen!” This declaration reminds us of the power of resurrection and the hope it brings. John 3:16 emphasizes the depth of God’s love, stating, “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” And Romans 5:8 beautifully expresses God’s love for us, “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
However , let us hold onto the hope and promise of Easter, knowing that God’s love and grace are ever-present in our lives. Wishing you all a blessed and meaningful Easter celebration.
Yours sincerely,
Chief Jerry Patrick Onuokaibe

Chief Dennis Otuaro, the administrator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme (PAP), has urged the youth of the Niger Delta to avoid violence as the region commemorates Isaac Boro Day.
Isaac Boro Day, observed annually on May 16, honors Major Isaac Adaka Boro, a prominent Ijaw freedom fighter who died in Okrika, Rivers State, while fighting for the Nigerian government during the Civil War.
Boro is celebrated as an Ijaw hero for his efforts to liberate the Ijaw people, including declaring the Niger Delta Republic and striving for better conditions from international oil companies.
In a statement issued by his Special Assistant on Media, Mr. Igoniko Oduma, Otuaro paid tribute to Boro on the 56th anniversary of his death, recognizing him for his vision and efforts to improve the living standards of the Ijaw people. He described Boro as a courageous, selfless fighter who promoted equality and justice.
Otuaro emphasized that Boro believed in a united, progressive Nigeria where equity and justice prevail, noting that Boro’s efforts were aimed at maintaining the country’s unity.
He stated that commemorating Boro Day is a significant way to honor Boro’s legacy of community service and coexistence. The establishment of the Presidential Amnesty Programme, Otuaro added, was a response to the advocacy by Niger Delta youths inspired by Boro’s principles.
Otuaro encouraged Ijaw and Niger Delta youths to celebrate Boro Day responsibly, upholding the ideals for which Boro is remembered. He remarked, “Major Isaac Jasper Adaka Boro is an Ijaw hero and icon of the Ijaw struggle. His 56th anniversary commemorates his bravery and courage.”
He noted that many youths are inspired by Boro’s struggle, a legacy reflected in the creation of the Presidential Amnesty Programme. Otuaro stressed the importance of peace and stability in the region to achieve the program’s objectives.
Otuaro also urged the youth to reject violence, embrace unity, and love one another. He highlighted that Boro fought for a strong, united Nigeria where the Ijaws could hold a place of pride, unlike some current youths who engage in divisive behavior.
Convicted billionaire kidnapper Chukwudumeme Onwuamadike, also known as Evans, and his co-accused Joseph Emeka, have requested a plea bargain in their high-profile kidnapping case.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the State lead counsel, Mr. Yusuf Sule, disclosed the plea bargain request to the court on Thursday during the case’s call for re-arraignment. The case is being heard by Justice Adenike Cokers of the Ikeja High Court.
Evans and Emeka were scheduled to be re-arraigned on an amended five-count charge, including murder, attempted murder, conspiracy to commit felony to wit: kidnapping, and attempted murder.
Sule informed the court, “The case was for re-arraignment, but I am aware that the defendants have applied for a plea.”
The prosecutor also noted that the plea bargain terms are being reviewed by the Attorney-General of Lagos State, Mr. Lawal Pedro (SAN).
Peruvian Health Minister Cesar Vasquez has classified transgender, non-binary, and intersex individuals as mentally ill.
On May 10, Peruvian President Dina Boluarte, Health Minister Cesar Vasquez, and Minister of Economy and Finance Arista Arbildo signed a decree. This decree states that transsexualism, dual-role transvestism, gender identity disorder in childhood, other gender identity disorders, and egodystonic sexual orientation are all categorized as mental health problems.
Cesar Vasquez explained that the decree was necessary for Peru’s public health services to ensure comprehensive medical attention for mental health issues.
The decree has sparked outrage among the LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer) community, which has labeled it discriminatory.
A medical researcher at Lima’s Scientific University of the South noted that although the decree might have been well-intentioned, it shows a lack of understanding of complex LGBT issues and potentially opens the door to conversion therapy.
