To all my friends in Jos and every one grieving, let this message of hope revive your hearts in this season as we reflect on the sufferings of Christ.
Today, Jos holds both sorrow and remembrance.
We grieve lives lost, families shattered, and a community once again confronted with the weight of violence. This grief is real, and it must not be rushed past or silenced. To mourn is not weakness—it is a recognition of human dignity.
Yet today is also Good Friday—a moment that reminds us that suffering, injustice, and death are not unfamiliar to the human story. The cross stands as a witness that even in humanity’s darkest expressions, love does not retreat, and sacrifice is not meaningless.
This is not a call to ignore pain, nor to offer easy comfort. It is an invitation to remain human in the face of what seeks to diminish our humanity—to choose responsibility over revenge, presence over indifference, and conscience over chaos.
As a people and as a city, the question before us is not only what has happened, but who we will become in response.
May we hold one another more closely.
May we refuse the erosion of our shared dignity.
And may hope, however quiet, remain alive among us.
