ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
If we don't respect what is sacred, why should the world?
Every year, we see the same thing repeated. Students turn sacred Christian symbols and religious attire into costumes for entertainment, and many people laugh as though nothing is wrong. Then we wonder why our faith is increasingly mocked in society.
Respect is not something we demand from the world while refusing to show it ourselves. It begins with us.
If we claim that the cross is holy, if we say that the attire associated with Christian service represents a life of consecration, then we should not reduce those symbols to props for school events, comedy, or fashion. When we normalize this, we silently tell the world that these things are not truly sacred to us.
Looking at this image, I am not condemning the students personally. They may simply be participating in what was approved for them. My concern is with the mindset that keeps allowing this to happen year after year. Where are the Christian leaders? Where is the Christian Association of Nigeria? Why is there so little public guidance on matters like this? If we remain silent every time these things happen, we should not be surprised when others continue to disrespect what we hold dear.
The Church cannot expect the world to honor what Christians themselves treat casually. Reverence starts in the house of God. If we fail to protect the dignity of our own faith, we weaken our moral voice when we speak against attacks on Christianity.
This is not about anger. It is about reverence. It is about reminding ourselves that not everything sacred should be turned into entertainment.
If we truly honor God, then our actions should reflect that honor. The world is watching how we treat the very things we call holy.
