Telecommunications giant, Globacom, has urged Nigerians to embrace peace and love, as the world marks Easter, an annual celebration in remembrance of the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The company disclosed this in a goodwill message to Nigerians on the occasion, noting that Christ laid down His life for the remission of the sins of mankind, exemplified sacrifice, hope and love for others, adding that without these virtues, humanity would not prosper.
TheMediaGood Newspaper reports that Globacom enjoined Nigerians to imbibe these virtues to guarantee a progressive nation. It assured its subscribers of unhindered voice, data and Short Messaging Service (SMS) services during and after the Easter celebrations. It also encouraged Glo subscribers to avail themselves of the various data and voice offerings on the network to spread love among friends, families and loved ones during the holidays.
Easter celebrations mark the end of the Christian Lenten season which is a means of purification and sanctification for Christians. It features acts of worship including prayer, sacrament, repentance from sins, almsgiving, atonement and self-denial through abstention from food, drinks and other worldly concerns.
