Eid-il-kabir celebrations: We humans are on probation - Engr. Olalekan Badmus

A prominent stalwart of the ruling party in the state of Osun, Engineer Olalekan Badmus, has said described human's existence on earth as being on probation, saying no one had a bragging right to life except God willed it.

He made this know in his Eid-ul-kabir message to all Muslims on Ileya celebration day.

Engr Badmus said that, "The world would be a better a place if we soon realized that we all are living a conditional life no one has  a bragging right to. For Allah, all humans are on probation due to the fact that we are only going through a trial period although, the years may seem long to make us think it can never be.

"There is a very great thing achieved on this day, which is equality. Equality of mankind before our creator. Be it the president, governor, kings and other eminent personalities of the society, we all stand as equals before him today. If we allow ourselves to be immersed in this consciousness, the world would be a better place."

He also advised that Nigerians should imbibe the teachings of the Ileya festival, which is equality inclined, as a panacea to the woes the country was going through.

He added that the sacrifice preached by the principles guiding the celebration of Eid-ul-kabir should not only be applied on the three consecutive days but in all the days people were opportune to witness on earth.

According to him, "Nigeria as a society needs to imbibe these realities if we want to breeze past all our woe as a country like the Holy prophet Muhammed S. A. W. breezed past his detractors in the City of Mecca in the battle of Badr with fewer under-equipped jihadists. I believe Nigeria would not be an exception to a grace like this if we really want to.

"As we celebrate today, we are expected to not throw caution to the wind as we still have some pebbles in our shoes. There is security issue as well as economic issue. The entire citizenry are not happy and it is important to put them into consideration when celebrating. May Almighty Allah not make this our last. Happy Eid-ul-kabir to all Muslims."
