Families, Communities Mourn as 22 Stampede Victims are Buried, Location AnnouncedSource: TwitterBishop Okafor’s Encouragement and CondolencesHe said, The whole world mourns today not only Okija, Abambra State or Nigeria. The world is a global village. We are in the world where bad things happens everyday and therefore, we are all mourning today as a people.Today is not the day to blame anybody for what has happened. We should rather thank God for people that are giving to the masses and am calling on Obijackson and others like him not to be discourage in giving to the poor masses.What is important today is that we should not ask God why this kind of thing happen, because we dont have that right, but what we should ask God is now that this thing has happened, what do He want us to learn as a lesson from it. The past is past and we must move forward.There is life after death, so the important question is if am the person that is concerned, what will be my faith. This world we are living in now, there is suffering hardship and tears, but God said that heaven is the only place we will not suffer and cry and therefore, we should strive to make heaven.Stop mourning and never to mourn like people who have no hope. God is always with you peopke and will never abandon you in time like this.The Lord is our Shepard, despite the economic, political and other situations anybody that believes, God will take care of us and solve our problems. Whatever it is, we should know that it is God that take care of us, and God protects us more than anybody.Chief Ernest Obiejesi’s CommitmentTragedy Strikes in Anambra
