If there鈥檚 one thing Nigerians love, it鈥檚 sending wishes and greetings for everything. New month? Wishes. New week? Wishes.
We鈥檙e not saying sending greetings for a prominent event like Easter is bad, though. We鈥檙e just tired of seeing these particular ones.
Anything containing 鈥渁rose/arosen鈥
Every Easter, the evil spirit behind typos increases its work rate and suspends everyone鈥檚 autocorrect. So for everyone鈥檚 safety, let鈥檚 just agree to stay away from the verb, 鈥渞ise鈥.
鈥淗e has paid your debt鈥
If you decide to use 鈥淗e鈥 instead of 鈥淛esus鈥, then my assumption that you鈥檙e referring to someone paying off my literal debt is on you. Emewiele has turned us all into money hunters. Don鈥檛 play.
鈥淒eath could not hold Christ down, so nothing will hold you down鈥
Please, only send this to people who鈥檝e japa. Because plenty of things are holding us down in this Nigeria. Don鈥檛 remind us of our pain on such a joyful day.
Anything that references 鈥淓aster eggs鈥
Shade, did your mummy take you to Sunday school every week for you to grow up and start talking about Easter eggs? Please, keep that western nonsense out of this ethnic household. Also, bunnies are mammals, so the whole thing is definitely sus.
鈥淗ave a wonderful celebration鈥
Maybe it鈥檚 just me, but when I hear 鈥渃elebration鈥, I immediately think 鈥渙utside activities鈥. With which cash, dear?
鈥淲ishing you renewed hope this season鈥
Renewed hope sounds suspiciously similar to a certain Baba Blue鈥檚 campaign slogan. It鈥檚 giving PTSD.
Anything that involves billing
Easter is a time for sober reflection, please. And no, it鈥檚 not just because there鈥檚 no money anywhere.
