It was a moment of incredibly peace and an atmosphere filled with love and unity when 150 Muslim youths and imams joined the Christian brethren in Christmas fellowship.

As reported by the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) the general overseer of Christ Evangelical Intercessory Fellowship Ministry in Kaduna, pastor Yohanna Buru expressed his gratitude for the astonishing turn out of Muslim youth at the church's Christmas service.

“Prayers were offered by both Muslim and Christian scholars and we also prayed for the unity and development of the country.

“I am very happy with what I witnessed today; it is a very special day to all Christians all over the world, it is surprising to see that not only Christians came to worship with us today.

“We have large numbers of Muslim youths and traditional title holders who joined us in prayer; this is a clear fact that Nigerians can really be their brothers’ keepers; it is amazing.

“We all must remember that we are from same parents (Adam and Eve) and we all worship one God” says Yohanna Buru

Muslim traditional rulers who were also present at the service to motivate the youth and also provide a sound religious orientation was Alhaji Ahmed idris, the Chika Soran Zazzau and Hakimin Unguwar Ma’a’zu.

“We are here to join our Christian brothers in prayers and to let you know that Muslims also love Jesus Christ.

“We want to enlighten you and to let you know that in Islam, whoever does not believe in Jesus Christ is not a true believer.

“We all must realise that we are from same parents and we all worship one God and we must know that there is no need for misunderstanding because we are one.’’ says Alhaji Ahmed idris

Absolutely, this act is big step forward to the long journey and possible co-existence of Nigerian with different faiths.
