Akeem Adeyemo wrote:

"Some low-minded people allow their religious leaders to make their hearts so heavy and full of needless hatred to their fellow human beings. It's sad the reactions and outbursts from so many low thinkers these days."

Omo Adebayo commented

"This is exactly who we are before politicians sow the seed of hatred, bitterness and division among us. All Abrahamic religions must open our minds."

Abdjelil Adesola

"Unfortunately many senses have been stolen from their rightful owners. What we have on the street are sea of heads without sense all in the name of politics! God bless Nigeria and Nigerians irrespective of religion and tribe."

Christian youths share food to Muslims

Meanwhile, Legit.ng reported that a group of Christian youths was seen distributing food to Muslims as they observed the breaking of their Ramadan fast in Senegal.

Those who benefited from the largess were mostly people on transit as the Christian youths were seen sharing the food to motorists and passengers.

This was to help them break their fast properly as they may not have a place to eat after fasting and being a long way from their house.
