The bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Oyo, Emmanuel Badejo, says forgiveness and peace are the solutions to Nigeria's problems, urging Nigerians, including leaders in positions of authority, to imitate Christ's sacrifice.

Mr Badejo gave the advice in Ibadan, where Christians are celebrating Good Friday.

He urged those in positions of power, particularly Christians, to emulate Jesus' love, humility, service, and generosity.

The Catholic bishop urged Nigerians to always imitate Jesus Christ's spirit of forgiveness and to live in peace and harmony with one another.

"These are the only solutions to our world's problems," he added.

Badejo also stated that Good Friday should be a day of sober reflection and repentance for everyone.

"On Good Friday, Jesus laid it all down on the cross," he said. For us, He gave up His life, mother, and forgiveness."

According to the Catholic priest, Jesus died "for all," and his sacrifice "obtained for us the immeasurable gift of resurrection and salvation, so that we may repay such goodness."
